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.

Loved the video. Informative and straight to the point. Keep it up! Also: Shoutout to all the modders out there who keep, not only GTA IV, but tons of other games out there alive and still fun to play even after years has passed!

for old games on a desktop you can often run them at 4x the resolution. basically fixes any anialiasing or weird pixel highlights. best part is that for many configurations it won't even effect performance. besides letting you turn anti aliasing off.

I'm going to re-install this legendary game and its DLCs so does the order in which you install the mods matter? Can the "Radio Downgrader" (from nexusmods) also be added (if it's not already included in one of these mods?) as well as DXVK on top of it all or will there be compatibility issues? Btw you're doing a great job, keep it up! 👍🏽

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.

Yeah, as others have said, I’ve been able to keep my performance at a nearly locked 60 in this game by using DXVK and turning night shadows off, as well as putting view distance and detail distance to 50.

They're the same, but use the one from Fusion Fix in case you have an old version of Radio Downgrader.

the performance was already fixed with DXVK, converting the API From DirectX to Vulkan gets you a much better frame rate with less stutter. So by default on Linux with proton in Steam you are going to have a much better experience than native Windows.

Truly a Rockstar moment.

Plz make a installation guide for these mods showcased

Damn I gotta play through GTA 4 again

Thank you man very helped!

In a way I quite like a little blur, it gave it atmosphere. The dvd never worked on win 10 or 11,but it's code made it playable via the rockstar launcher. I think rockstar toronto converted it to pc. lighting isn't great in GTA V either, object shadows can move as you walk closer or away from them.

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).

One thing I heard years ago on a stream was that this game on PS3 wasn't timed to resolution perfectly it ran at 720p even with a 1080p TV and consequently, you had to "force" the console to run the console at a higher resolution by disabling the 720p check from the settings

Hi TJGM! Do we need to copy all the content inside fusionfix archive to the GTA IV main directory in order to have this mod installed in complete edition? Thanks in advance.

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.

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.

The old GTA games require 30fps. 60pfs or higher creates instability not just in GTA 4 but also in the old 3D trilogy. Our new PCs can reach 100fps easily so they become more and more unstable. The fusionfix mod does include a framelimiter thankfully for cutscenes and ingame.

It’s mind boggling how broken the pc port is

What are the remaining issues on pc compared to consoles? Please make a video on it sometime.

Hey guys, just a general question, every time I install the game it only recognizes my CPU but never my GPU so I can't even put the game at max settings (I have a RTX 3050). Anyway to solve it? Any mod or anything? I have searched and nothing so far :(

I made a mod a few years back, which extended the LOD of road-side objects, but an update to the game broke it 8(

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.

Sadly the one of the console visuals absolutely borked my game to a point no NPCs would load in at all, no audio on phone at all, cutscenes wouldn't load so I couldn't start a new save game. I'm assuming it's the one involving NPCs, if NPCs can not load at all and everything is in engine, I'd assume that's likely what did it.

this being one of my lifetime favorites, its such as shame that they gave the community the middle finger in terms of pc port quality. thankfully it is slowly getting there.

DXVK patch mod improves performance a LOT btw

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 didn't know that these issues weren't meant to be there

My main issue with trying to play gta4 over a month long period is having to reinstall it due to rockstar putting a random 200kb update just to screw over those who downgraded to patch 1.8 or 1.7

I had to disable the depth of field effect because it makes me dizzy, it looks good but for some reason I can't handle it, also gives better performance if you turn it off.

I didn't meant the definition off by the way, fusion fix now has a very strong depth of field option just below the fps limiter.

still need to fix broken night shadows on PC version many shadows such as the tunnel of death, or the light of the polmaverick light don't work well with many objects

Been playing through this game so often and didnt even know those things where broken wow

the weapon spread and the rain splatter did not get fixed on mine

The performance issue may be solved with using Vulkan.

is there any mod to fix the games mouse sensitivity? whenever i play this game the mouse feels too fast and changing dpi does not change anything, i am basically forced to use a controller at this point.

Yeah, I had to turn mouse sensitivity all the way down. The sensitivity is still very high though, I noticed. But far more tolerable.

How to install various fixes mod? I cant get it to work. There is a anim.img file and in the mod its a folder with the same name and i cant replace it

still cant install more than 4 car mods without the map going into low poly mode and missions softlocking though

I couldn't manage to log into the game so that I would be able to save. Also, is there a mod that's still available that sets the car camera more like it is in GTA5. This could be a great addition to fusionfix imo.

I get both black and white raindrops now, don't know why.

Wait so the atmosphere for each of the GTA 4 stories are just filters over the screen? Am I understanding that right?
