      Lol this may be a weird suggestion, but you can do a similar video for Driv3r since the PC port of the game was similar to GTA 4's PC release. Many graphical bugs and errors that were not on the consoles. I made a mod which fixes and recovers most console stuff for the PC version of Driv3r. The mod is called Driv3r Definitive Edition.

    having a built-in fps limiter is going to be insanely helpful for a lot of people. having only a vsync option sucked since even the lowest refresh rate monitors are usually 60hz today, meaning that for missions like the final one where you have to spam space to climb into the helicopter, you still need to press it TWICE as fast as intended.

    It's amazing how much better the game looked on 360 for so many years. It certainly looks and plays great on my Xbox One X. PC got shafted majorly. However mods are probably the best part of PC gaming. With a select set of mods, mainly FusionFix, Various Fixes, Console Visuals, and DXVK, GTAIV is TRANSFORMED. It FINALLY looks as good as it could have over a decade ago! With some HD texture packs over the top of that, it looks incredibly modern and shows how high the devs reached on the 360 version.
    It's awesome how the PC community has rallied in the past few years and started updating their mods for the new version of the game. My only gripe is the game has very strong aliasing and Fusion Fix's FXAA doesn't do much for it at 1440p. Instead I'm using SMAA+FXAA+Fidelity FX CAS via Reshade. That gets me a much better result than any of the in-game options do. I wish we could do DSR with this game but it seems not to like it with or without DXVK.

    I have alot of experience modding different games and GTA IV is by far the most frustrating to mod, all the different game versions and lack of compatibility between mods with very little documentation make it a nightmare. Alot of the most popular tools and programs like the downgrader just do not work on some machines like mine for unknown reasons, just leading to blackscreens that require fresh reinstalls. And when you do get it working, it just updates itself breaking everything despite having updates disabled and mods specifically to prevent this from happening haha.

    For those of you looking for nicer shadows without mods, turn down the shadow setting to high. It preserves a lot of the detail of very high, doesn’t look insanely sharp, and can heavily reduce resource usage (on the Steam Deck, high shadows reduced GPU usage by 30-50% depending on the area).

    Question: is there a way to combine this mod and the Radio Downgrader? R* removed a bunch of cool songs from the game via the latest update and I want those back, but both FusionFix and the Radio Downgrader have a "dinput8.dll" and I'm afraid that one file would be conflicting with the other, breaking one or both mods.

    Thank you so much friend! I can't tell you how useful this video was❤ I chose to install console visuals the manual way to make sure it worked properly and like the read me said the manual way is super long and boring but when I loaded into the game, it was buttery smooth 😊 made such a difference I think it lowkey also helps with performance because before I couldn't really enable shadows it would make the game very laggy. It's been such a journey modding this game and making it playable but so rewarding. On an unrelated note I am a sound engineer and there's a hit marker mod a really cool person made where he let's you put any .wav audio files into the headshot folder and that sound will play out when you hit a headshot, I made my own sound effects for it and if anyone would like to try it out in there game I'd be happy to share it. Also I've seen alot of stuff on the internet about the episode of livery city not working properly anymore after modding and downgrading, I had the same issue but I discovered that it was the potential grim mod that would either crash episodes or cause infinite load screen . Just thought I'd share, and thank you again it truly warms my heart to see this game getting love to this day and people like you still making content on how to fix it and make it playable.

      @fredster594 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't think you're correct about that first sentence. GTA IV's PC port is notoriously bad, so much so that people had to literally download a graphics mod in the early days to get it to run smoothly without crashes. Even Rockstar themselves used the mod in the Meltdown movie for GTA V. And on top of that, you had to deal with that awful Games for Windows Live bullshit which was a plague on PC gaming back in the 7th generation.
      It wasn't until 2012 & 2013ish when GTA IV without that ugly graphics mod could FINALLY be play smoothly on PC due to the newer GPUs at that time. And even then, the PC port is still a mess to this day.

      @@thedrbat9572 It depends. GTA IV is generally a really poorly optimized game that even the console versions run like shit with both 360 and PS3 barely running at a consistent 30fps. The PC port can negate those issues by having a mid tier PC which can not only make the fps more consistent but also exceed 30fps. It also doesn't help that GTA IV visually is a really ugly game with some of the worst blur effects I've seen in a video game which is especially prevelant in the console versions. While the PC port has a lot of technical and graphical problems, you can't deny that the game on average looks a LOT better on PC with it having less of that hideous blur, more natural looking vegetation and a much nicer gamma than the console versions.

    The biggest problem with the PC version was the one bug in two missions you had to spam spacebar and it was impossible to not fail. Other than that and installing the game after the Games Of Windows Live service shutdown I do not recall there being broken stuff (atleast years after release). However, having modders improve the experience is appreciated nonetheless.

      You have to play this game capped at 60 fps, not 30 as many people say. Above 60 is where problems begin. Another thing is, GFWL never shut down, it still works as of today. It was only removed by Rockstar from the Steam version when they released the complete edition, but still works on any previous version or if you have the physical edition.

  • @KingKrouch
    @KingKrouch ปีที่แล้ว

    I'd honestly recommend using DXVK alongside these mods. Reason being that GTA IV and EFLC both have really weird hardware scalability issues where they'll run terribly no matter the hardware. The game ran identically for me no matter on my old 750Ti setup, my 1060/1070 setups, my RX 5700XT, or my Radeon 6900XT, and could barely even hold up a solid 60FPS. However, when using the 32-Bit version of DXVK, which will convert DirectX 9 draw calls to Vulkan ones, it actually improves performance due to driver overhead. Can get 120FPS or so with DXVK, but at the cost of some shader compilation stuttering. That paired with the Large Memory Address Aware patch, so the game can utilize more than 2GB of RAM properly, and it feels more in line with what I'd expect the game to run at nowadays. But with a lot of older games, I'd recommend DXVK because of how bad and jank NVIDIA and AMD's DX9 driver support is nowadays, that's something people fail to take into account when criticizing the Intel Arc cards for simply using API translation layers rather than to do the work in their drivers.
    Of course, hunt down the soundtrack restoration mod as well.
