You should totally make an "ultimate modding guide" series for GTA IV
@Fearsomebeast1311 ай бұрын
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 All guides I've seen either are outdated, convoluted, or force/show only how to use the downgrader to do any modding.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.
@kaycred336110 ай бұрын
@@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.

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.

@@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.

@TaxistGeviskonАй бұрын
@@alistairmscott it basically switches the API from directx to vulkan, which gives you additional free 20-30 FPS. No, it doubt that it was the reason. Generally because the mods he mentions don't dramatically change the game. They are essential mods that help you with optimisation and stuttering. I installed DXVK alongside with Fusion Fix. I no longer experience FPS drops. The game looks almost the same, however I suggest playing around with gamma (and saturation) settings. Turn off bloom in video settings (not graphics), and set the filter you like (IV, TBoGT, TLaD, off).

@TaxistGeviskonАй бұрын
@@alistairmscott No problem. Sometimes with old games it's rather about optimization than the PC. Or you need to have some NASA computer. I wish they remastered IV already, not for the graphics but at least for the PC optimization. I have a laptop as well. GPU: RTX 2060. I had been playing with everything ultra until I got tired of 40-60 FPS. I reduced all the distance settings from 100 to 1. Sometimes the game looks weird and some minor objects become visible only when you're really close. But generally I got 100+ FPS on average. Maybe that'll help you, if you don't mind the minor visual consequences.

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.
@dudebroguymate10 ай бұрын
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)

My game just runs like absolute garbage with dxvk, it started running better after benchmark (still worse than vanilla) and then went back to like 20 fps constantly Update: Reinstalled the game and downloaded dxvk before any other mod and it worked great, i have now heavily modded my game and it still runs nice on highest settings + VisualIV

can someone tell me why he only moves d3d9.dll to the game directory? I saw somewhere that you had to move dxgi too.

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!

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...
@RequiemDream7 ай бұрын
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.
@dangernoodle43057 ай бұрын
@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

For anyone that has an issue with the fps suddenly going down to something like 51 fps with stutter after 5 minutes,if you play the game on steam, turn on steam overlay. Not sure what causes it but it fixed the problem.

Can the steam overlay feature work on non steam games?

Ultra wide problems. everything has been working great, except for after installing dxvk, i cant get the game to launch. i even downloaded the dxvk.conf file and set my aspect ratio to 21:9 (3440x1440) and it just black screens and then closes after launching. help? EDIT: fixed it, if running ultrawide 3440x1440 set aspect ratio in dxvk.conf to 43:18.

It runs BUTTERY SMOOTH for about 5 minutes, or until a cutscene and then becomes a choppy mess. Strangely, I can "reset" it back to being smooth, by enabling and disabling vsync or change the resolution back and forth. This will make it run perfect again for a while until the mentioned above. Any clue, what's the issue here? Followed all steps dxvk2.3 RTX 3080 R7 5800X

I finally fixed the stuttering issue on my computer. Turns out I had to enable the Steam Overlay for GTA 4. For whatever reason, this stopped the stutter. Right-click on GTA 4 in Steam, go to Properties. Then look for the "Enable Steam Overlay in-game", turn on this switch. The stuttering should now be fixed!

unfortunately this doesn't work as well as it probably should ironically dxwrapper seems to give it better performance despite the fact that my gpu supports vulkan. and yes I did make sure it wasn't just the shader cache being built or something. Several minutes of waiting told me that clearly wasn't the case. even with dxwrapper though, my frames suffer a bit when it comes to fire or rain which i was hoping dxvk would fix. oh well
@mochamadghozysaturpanama11 ай бұрын
I still having a lot of issues even using DXVK.. stutter still happen A LOT! but I found a temporary solution for decreasing the stutter and make it more enjoyable (yeah the stutter still happen but just a fewer times). Just try to cap the FPS to 30 FPS by Nvidia control panel, and it's good as I remembered in PS3 era. (I'm using the last DXVK 2.3 versions). the setting is all maxed out with 1620P resolution. My specifications of my laptop is Intel core i5 12450H, 32gb ram and RTX3050.

I have installed DXVK. When I load into the game, runs perfectly fine for about 5 minutes and then my FPS drops by 10 and I get stutters/choppy visuals. GPU is an RTX 2070S with a Ryzen 7 5800x3D. EDIT: Found a fix on the game's Steam forms, enable Steam overlay and SOMEHOW, it fixes the issue. All OK.
@retro_ed7468 ай бұрын
Steam Deck and Linux users do not have to install anything because DXVK is already baked in to system. GTA4 runs 2560x1440 default settings 30fps locked on Steam Deck. With 25 watt power draw. edit: 40..... 30fps

Again, thanks a lot, dude! This is a brilliant explanation of the whole process. I was so grateful to learn so much. If I may, I'd like to ask for a particular issue: How can I fix Volumetric Lights/Shadows effect?; I'm using the Steam CE with FusionFix (+ vehicules pack, trees and I guess/hope grass of the console visuals mod, Various Fixes mod and NCP enhancements for the cops and FIB mainly), besides the radio restore and DXVK mods. 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!
