NOTES/UPDATES: - Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the IMG limit at the time of making this video. But just to note, GTA IV has an IMG limit of 255, and the IMG archives in Fusion OverLoader, will count towards that limit. I believe the game uses around 200 IMG archives by default, allowing you to add 50 or so to Fusion OverLoader, so it should be more than enough. - I mention FusionFix only supports the Complete Edition of GTA IV. However white I was working on this video, the mod received support for 1.0.7.0 and 1.0.8.0. However, installation is slightly different. You need to rename the Ultimate ASI Loader .dll from "dinput8.dll" to "xlive.dll". You'll also need to install xLivelessAddon, I'll link it below. github.com/gtamodding/xlivelessaddon/releases Keep in mind though, it doesn't work with ZolikaPatch by default. You'll have to disable options in ZolikaPatch that interfere with Fusion Fix. ----- Enjoy GTA modding videos?

Man, this just makes modding gta iv so much easier, in-fact this is on-par with the likes of modding gta v. Instead of a folder named "mods" it's called "update" for gta iv. Great Video TJGM, I've being modding gta iv for the last few months now, using vehicle mods as it seems that gta v is kinda broken when installing vehicles mods. I'll most definitely be using this method of modding gta iv from now on. Thanks for taking the time to show us how it's done. PS keep up the good work!!! :)

The only thing I hate about installing mods in gta 5 is that you need to copy the whole directory of files to the mods folder. So if you are installing a lot of car mods that will make the game weight 200 gigabytes instead of 100 gigabytes even though the car mods combined can only weight like 25 gigabytes. Installing is pretty easy though using the openiv, don’t have any problems with that.

@@sivachenko true, however if said user was to install other mods like weapons, sounds, graphics, etc then it's best to mirror the gta 5 files into "mods" folder for ease, that way if installing a mod you won't be subject to missing dependant files that are needed by such mod to function properly.

so if I understand correctly "Fusion Overloader" is actually "FusionFix" ? Good video btw so much better then using the old tedious way of OpenIV

Better to save up money and buy a Vulkan-compatible GPU for the DXVK plugin, because that's what the authors of FF consider all users must be using, but does not mention it's required explicitly for other GPU-tensing graphical features.
