Why the GTA5 source code leak is a GOOD THING!

In this video I talk about the possible positive repercussions about the Rockstar games Grand theft auto 5 source code leak.
The source code as well as early alpha footage of Grand theft auto 6 was leaked back in September of 2022 where a hacker known as TeapotUberhacker managed to steal gigabytes worth of valuable data from Rockstar games.

[@tacokoneko]

HALF LIFE 2 , INCLUDING: episode 1 and 2, portal 1, deathmatch, counter strike source, day of defeat source and half life source has received this treatment. the success depends strongly on the company not copy striking the project. the valve source engine leak is technically illegal but for some reason valve never copy strikes anything ever, in a huge contrast with other companies. that allows the open source half life 2 to be public on github with no license. the exposure of the project to large amounts of developers to fix bugs depends on how aggressively the company copy strikes the code. leaked code does not come from decompilation like reverse engineered code does, so the copyright holder has a stronger attack if they choose to use it. this is all the quintessential perfect example of why US copyright law is both useless and destructive in the modern world and should be abolished

[@retabera]

The mod you were thinking of for GTA IV is called DXVK. DXVK already works for GTA V (This is how playing it under Linux is possible). All it does it swap DirectX for Vulkan and because GTA V DirectX is already optimised, there is no performance benefit for V. For IV, there is because their old version/implementation of DirectX 9 is atrocious. If you are going to play GTA IV again I'd suggest FusionFix, Fusion Overloader, DXVK, Console Visuals mod, Various Fixes mod, Radio Restoration mod.

The issue you're having is that the hitching happens because of the engine limitations. I would advise you to limit it around 120 FPS in your main pc and see what happens

[@Pyrerealmgaming]

Yeah I thought about that too, unfortunately the problem with that is that I run a monitor that goes up to 240fps on my main PC as I play alot of shooter games and like the instant response, if I set a low max refresh on GTA5 Il have an unplayable amount of input lag lol.

[@cutizuki]

@@Pyrerealmgaming Use msi afterburner to lock your fps, the most reliable fps I found was 144fps. 188fps is the absolute engine limit, it can't go over that and thats where the stuttering starts.

I've been slowly working on bringing EVERY update into SP through modding, tricky process trying to recreate them 100 percent. Honestly, the source code will help with this SOOO MUCH, this game will live after GTA6 is released for these reasons.

[@flamingscar5263]

on the topic of Vulkan and performance, Vulkan is better than the old DirectX 11 GTA V uses, but not better then DirectX as a whole, the debate between DirectX 12 vs Vulkan has gone on for eons, so a port to DirectX12 could also be seen, which would bring other benefits like true raytracing

[@deereverdeen]

"Vulkan is better than the old DirectX 11 GTA V uses, but not better then DirectX as a whole" that is so cap junior Vulkan is open source and DirectX isnt. For me that is a dealbreaker. Not only that but although DirectX to Vulkan technology is better some games require additional setup when running them through Wine on Linux(granted GTA V doesnt have this issue but GTA V is also 10 fucking years old so.) All in all, Vulkan is better in the ways that actually matter. (now i wait for the angry "but muh windows runs it better" argument)

The performance of the game also sucks, like big time. I'm not talking about the game's fps being capped by your cpu's single core performance. It's possible to optimize gta V to run a lot better on lower end hardware like your average vega 8 integrated gpu on ryzen 4000/5000 should be able to run it much better than it does now. Optimization is just poor.

[@Loupirade]

You need to increase your MSAA/resolution on your RTX 4090 PC to stay under 180fps and reduce CPU limitation. Also, on both of your setups your CPU is insufficient compared to your GPU for GTA Online. (4790k could be enough for other games but not for GTA Online)

[@SlurpyPie]

One thing I would've liked was if we got the source code of Max Payne 3. It's gunplay is something that I wish Rockstar would use and improve upon in future titles or at least so other devs could use and improve for their own titles instead.

[@rollschuh2282]

if you check the source code, you can see that R* actually planned for it back then for PC. there are headtracking files, oculus references. control stuff i think. all is just not compiled in. so by recompiling someone could attempt to enable that code and check how it works. probably got scrapped for a reason, but the beginning is there

[@Loomeh]

Couple of things to point out with this video - DirectX is not the "old rendering API" that Vulkan is made to replace. Most games are still targeting DirectX and even the most intensive games run comfortably in DirectX12. The main benefits of Vulkan are it being open-source and cross-platform which is what makes projects like DXVK possible. - DXVK for GTA 5 already exists. Infact, DXVK can be used for pretty much any game. It's made to be a drop-in replacement that translates D3D calls to Vulkan calls in real-time. It doesn't have to be specifically made and configured for each game.

[@Johnstone_Studios]

I think it will be amazing to see what this does to the modding and game dev community.

I am interested if we can artifically add more ZoneTypes and bypass even more limits in dispatch.meta Vanilla doesn't let you do much, and Cpast's combat tweaks does help with allowing other vehicles to spawn and remove the need for law enforcement flag for vehicles by sacrificing their despawning thing but your still mostly limited Peds for example, you can ONLY have cops, swat or army to function. Speaking of that, i wonder if we can add more pedtypes aswell. Like imagine pedtypes with unique AI (idk if that can be done already)

[@andreasantaniello8318]

oh yes, you can even rewrite it fully. The leak contains the full rage source and the c++ (+sanscript gamescripts)

[@wedoalittletrolling723]

@@andreasantaniello8318 yeah but i prefer adding onto it, Rockstar does outstanding job even on the internal mechanics so why rewrite it? Just extend onto it, altrough you won't be able to share it unlike any other mod since it uses illegal source code but i'd reckon nothing bad happens just to show screenshots/gameplay footage that it is possible as long you don't show the source code or mention it. I for example want to see if it's possible to give regular peds (civilians in this case) some of the behaviors of police but without being part of the wanted system just like what R* did with the army peds, as they are half civilian pedtype but also share the same AI as police.

[@SeanOptimoa]

There is already a lot you can do in dispatch.meta, nearly changing EVERYTHING. There are like 15 locations where you can switch up and change the spawn points and peds.
