      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 All guides I've seen either are outdated, convoluted, or force/show only how to use the downgrader to do any modding.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.

      ⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@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

    I was intimidated at first, but after doing this as well as the graphic improvements in your other video, it turned out to be really easy! I have a RTX 4090 and even after the DXVK I still do have some chop, but it’s an improvement from how the game was without it.
    Your videos are amazing man, I appreciate the well in-depth tutorials. I promise it will pay off if it hasn’t already. Time to go play now

    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.

      @TheRealSpeedWolf 9 месяцев назад +15

      @@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.

    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
      @dudebroguymate 7 месяцев назад +2

      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)

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!

    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...

    • @RequiemDream
      @RequiemDream 5 месяцев назад

      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
      @dangernoodle4305 5 месяцев назад

      @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

    I'd like to thank the people who created the DXVK cause I can finally enjoy GTA IV.
    and it used to be a game I never liked and could never get into even though my friends love it to deth
    but now I get it.. not only do I get it.. but I consider it to be a masterpiece now
    and I wholeheartedly believe it to be the best GTA game ever made.
    and all it took was a lil dll file to make the game smooth as butter so I can finally sit and enjoy the game without constantly being taken out of the immersion because of a bad port behavior.
    so again.. thank you!~

Massive respect to you, and thank you!!! I just hope the game stays this way so I can enjoy it for a long time. Thank you man.
