what if i do not use steam launcher nor the rockstar launcher

[@Shelby_Terlingua]

My monitor support QHD 165hz But in game i can set only 85hz on QHD, and 165hz on very low resolutions How fix it D:

[@Yuri-xx2gi]

You buy the game@@MrTheinfoman

[@SupremacyGamesYT]

You should totally make an "ultimate modding guide" series for GTA IV

[@Fearsomebeast13]

And hopefully for the current version of the game. All guides I've seen either are outdated, convoluted, or force/show only how to use the downgrader to do any modding. people like me that don't want to spend 50 to 100$ on another Hard Drive just to mod gta 4 (for one reason or another) just want to do simple modding like sounds, textures, and AI tweaks.

[@kaycred3361]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@Fearsomebeast13hey what hard drive do u have. I put it on c drive even though it says to put somewhere else.i know the andre downgrader also makes it seem like you cant have your game files in program files I got very annoyed about everyone only speaking of downgrading but theres really like no mods that work for the new patches. You can add textures to new patches i think but the gun sounds cant go on because the audio application they all say to use doesnt work. Downgrader actually solved all my problems,you wont need a new drive.

[@kaycred3361]

Theres many of them and they all include dxvk. Steam actually has some good ones but like most gta mods you have to downgrade usually

what's it for?

[@TheRealSpeedWolf]

I am someone who owns legitimate copies of all the Rockstar games, but I had to resort to a pirated version, especially in the case of Grand Theft Auto IV. They included all the fixes and enhancements in one simple installer that the developers themselves couldn't be bothered to do. It's so absurd that I pretty much own all the Rockstar games, including LA Noire and GTA V, which I installed on my computer but a pirated versions because I dislike the Rockstar launcher. With the pirated version, I just click on it, and it starts without the need for a login. There is something wrong with the industry when a pirated version is more convenient than a legitimate one. It is so asinine, and this is coming from a legitimate owner of those games. Heck, in Grand Theft Auto IV, they re-establish the multiplayer and the original soundtrack of the game, in the pirated version. I am so pissed off about that fact. Rockstar is literally their own worst enemy in preserving their own game.

[@Artificeral]

How did you find that?

[@everyone01]

I purchased a copy of GTA 4 too but had to resort to pirated versions due to a lot of memory issues in that

[@TheRealSpeedWolf]

@@everyone01 It is infuriating, wouldn’t you agree? This problem is not limited to Rockstar. Fans have to fix their game to be enjoyed. From my point of view, this is a problem with copyright law. They have to be limited to 15 years, which was the original intention. When a game or media is in the public domain, it can be modified, re-edited, repackaged, and resold. Unless the original developer can improve it greatly, they have to compete with others who do the job better than them. Instead, people like myself who purchase it legitimately have to resort to piracy for the reasons I have mentioned above.

[@ThiagoJaqueta]

​@@TheRealSpeedWolf That's why I always try to buy DRM Free games from GOG when possible. And anything that has "Denuvo" stamped on it goes into my ignore list, Always online DRM is just blatant anti-consumerism, these companies don't deserve our money.

[@soullesschewbacca]

I just wanna say, I've been struggling with this on PC for so long, just dealing with the insane jumparound of frames in an effort to play a better looking version of the original version on consoles, and alot of times reverting to the console versions just for some stability. But with this vid, I can now happily play this FINALLY without issues, and it makes me wanna cry. Thank you for all of this! Explained everything perfectly without confusion and made me feel far smarter than I am. Thank you!

Mate! Thank you. It's been a while between playthroughs. It ran like garbage before your videos, I have a Ryzen 5600X and a RTX 3060ti. It's not the highest spec PC in the world but it should be able to run GTAIV! I have installed the 4 mods you recommended as well as DXVK. I can now run it at a stable 75 fps @ 3440 x 1440p again it should be better than that but it's smooth and it looks good. Cheers!

[@RequiemDream]

I have an Ryzen 3700 and an RTX 3060Ti and the Game runs smooth without the mods, at 6k resolution and max settings at around 70fps...(smooth 50fps with 8k as well). The mods made it run worse now...

[@RequiemDream]

Did some more testing. Without mod, at a resolution of 5760 x 3240 all settings maxed out even shadows and draw distance so on and I get around 80fps most of the time. With the mod it actually gets worse, it's more around the 60s than the 80s, I even tried to lower some settings and stuff but like others said, this dxvk stuff doesn't really improve anything for a lot of people, for some it actually makes it worse. I'm surprised it works for you with mod but without it doesn't run since we have a pretty similar system.

[@dangernoodle4305]

@RequiemDream that's really interesting. When I ran thr vanilla game, the framerate would jump around quite a lot, anywhere from 45fps to 150+ and extreme stuttering! It was basically unplayable. Now it's stable, we is all I really wanted. I would be nice if I could lock it to 120fps but for some reason, 75 is all I can get. I'll take it though

After learning how to access and edit the fusionfix ini file (specifically to fix the taxi bug), I got amazing results, but I miss that feature in particular. Any suggestions? Maybe there are other features I'm losing since I applied the DXVK mod at last. Youre the best!

Unbelievable. Amazing. Just awesome. Thank you so much.

8:32 a small correction: As example 1080p can be wider than 16:9. There are monitors with 2560 x 1080 (it is still a 1080p res, but wider, 21:9). Same can apply to other res too.

[@dudebroguymate]

1080p aka Full HD aka FHD has always been precisely 1920x1080 pixels in 16:9 aspect ratio. 2560x1080 is called UW (ultrawide) 1080p or UWFHD if you will. Same thing with UWQHD and UW4K. While UWFHD is "technically" still 1080p, the aspect ratio is different and there are more pixels to fill so it's "1080p" in the same way that 1200p is 1080p. (it's not)

Hello, my config is a 11400f with a 3060 (12gb), V-sync ON at 60 hz display at 1440p with all setings max out: My experience with dxvk versions so far: 2.3: A lot of tearing and stutters when roaming around 2.2: No tearing when roaming around or entering places or anything but I have small tearing when hiting objects with a car (almost not noticeable) [This is the second best version so far] 2.1: Some stutters when entering places and hiting objects with a car (Edit) 2.0: No stutters at all >[this is the best version so far]< 2.0 update: Stutters when hiting objects with a car, very rare indeed. (Edit) 1.10: A lot of stutters and randomly. (Edit) 1.9.4: Stutters are random in a lot of areas. (Edit) 1.9.3: Stutters that looks like the default version of the game. I'm going to test all versions and update here, if anyone else is having this problem (stutters or tearing), any help would be great! Thanks!

I'm using 2.3 version, facing the same issue. stutters when roaming around. I'll try the 2.0 version.

[@edgardhenrique4113]

Tried every version and got the stuttering in all of them :(

[@pitonlpz]

@@edgardhenrique4113 what are your pc specs?

[@jorge097.1]

@RicardoLNedel thankssssssss for the sharing mann, i was struggling with 2.3 version (crazy fps drops), switched to 2.0 and now game seems real smooth🙏🙏

[@pitonlpz]

the sttuters happend to me, but it was because i have in game Vsync, the solution was to turn it off and set RivaTuner Statistics set to limit the game at 60fps, worked like a charm.

[@cristianudrea2747]

Thank you so much!

[@peterlarkin762]

Thanks for the tutorial. I tried the latest DXVK (2.3)... game crashes on launch. Tried version 2.2, runs fine!

[@mrdabrow]

if you don't own the game on any of these platforms you can just create a shortcut and add these parameters to the file path

[@TJGM]

​@@MarioTainakaWhich was recommended in the last video, and didn't work for a lot of people.

[@MarioTainaka]

@@TJGM right. i actually forgot about that. In that case prams via shortcut do work

[@balazshajdu4612]

Hya, love the vids, the explanation, the simplicity, and the effort made to make these tutorials! I have only one question installed the DXVK, (GPU should support Vulkan Geforce 3060 TI) and it even works! perfectly solid 60 FPS for 1-2 minutes, then something happens, could not pinpoint what triggers it, but a slight drop occures with stutter and FPS drops to 54-57 FPS , very annoying, have anyone encountered the same? am I doing something incorrectly? Any input is appreciated! Thanks again for your help and effort to make this great game playable on PC with such amazing performance! cheers!

Can you please upload a gameplay video with all these mods

[@Jessyyxxl]

time to play gta iv again :p

[@chimaerayt3077]

IT WORKED!!!

[@iGotShivers]

Hello, Sir. May I ask if this is merely natural on my end that it is a bit lagging/stuttering at the start of my game but it gradually smoothens as I continue playing? Is this normal for DXVK to function? By the way, my graphics card is a GT 730, a processor of Core 2 Duo E8400, and my PC is equipped with 8GB ram (and yes I'm not afraid to tell you my low-end specs 🙂)

[@z4mur073]

for some reason in my hd 530 (i5 6500 igpu, which has vulkan 1.3) DXVK 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 nor the latest 2.3 work. it did with 1.10.3 somehow, just to let yall know

[@mohamedhamam3153]

Hello, When installing both DXVK and Fusion Fix, it crash at the opening of the game

[@roger23-]

thanks champ

[@Skazzy3YT]

Even with DXVK 2.3 I still have the VRAM 512MB issue, so it seems that I had to follow the steps in the video to get it to see 8GB.

[@TJGM]

Oh well that's good, the video isn't irrelevant already 😅 Thanks for the confirmation.

[@prodvytorla]

It still happens to me, though i dont have steam version or rockstar games version@@TJGM

[@BboyCorrosive]

Hey guys, if you have a 21:9 aspect, don't use the dxvk conf file, just put -height yourresolution and -width yourreseolution into your steam launch options like you do for the memfix

[@user-nw2mh3in7r]

hey thanks, its works. But may i can put REFRESH RATE 165 hz? Because in game only 60 hz

[@emirhanaytekin516]

How many FPS do you get? Even though I have a RTX 4070, I get 45 FPS (without using the conf file)

[@indutkarshgamer1256]

Bro will it work with hd 46000(i5 4570) ?

[@VikingDudee]

Works great on my 3090ti and 5900x system, nearly 400fps at 3440x1440 which is crazy to me, I use to be happy with 30fps lol

[@Molix1981]

One BIG problem, in open world games, is the pop up textures on the horizon, for me is a immense immersion braking, and this game is notorious in that...

[@Itzcorbin]

Good video but unable to set 4k resolution

[@SergioCorona960919]

I have a 2070 and i installed dxvk as in the previous video and trying again with this one but still im stuck at 70 fps
