Fusion OverLoader - A ModLoader for GTA IV

Fusion OverLoader is a ModLoader for GTA IV, and it makes modding GTA IV extremely easy, especially once you know what you're doing. So let's go over it and learn all there is to know!

NOTES/UPDATES:
- Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the IMG limit at the time of making this video. But just to note, GTA IV has an IMG limit of 255, and the IMG archives in Fusion OverLoader, will count towards that limit. I believe the game uses around 200 IMG archives by default, allowing you to add 50 or so to Fusion OverLoader, so it should be more than enough.

- I mention FusionFix only supports the Complete Edition of GTA IV. However white I was working on this video, the mod received support for 1.0.7.0 and 1.0.8.0.

You'll also need to install xLivelessAddon, I'll link it below.

Keep in mind though, it doesn't work with ZolikaPatch by default. You'll have to disable options in ZolikaPatch that interfere with Fusion Fix.

However, installation is slightly different. You need to rename the Ultimate ASI Loader .dll from "dinput8.dll" to "xlive.dll".

You'll also need to install xLivelessAddon, I'll link it below.

seriously man you're a godsend for making these videos, not only helping those who wish to mod this game for the first time but also sharing info that makes the process easier, gta4 moding videos are hard to come by with this level of detail so thank you a million

[JoseDeFreitasB]

This is very helpful. Thank you a lot. And that was a great explanation, it's also good to know how things work. ✌

[MulekeTrairao]

Great video as always, TJ! Just like with GTA SA, I'm following your videos to have a good modded setup to play older GTA titles. Can't wait for what's next!

[tyguy]

Been playing IV the past couple weeks, first time since February. Man idk what rockstar did but the new social club/launcher updates have made the game run noticeably worse on both my PC and steam deck. Appreciate the vid!

[clinicallyarsonistic]

wow I'm so glad there's a mod loader now. I remember losing my mind over installing the New York city mod lol

[ahandlebar]

TJGM is a true godsend! Appreciate your hard work.

[JohnBart]

Many thanks for this crash course and covering all possible mod installation scenarios! This is an absolutely handy guide that should help all new and returning mod users in getting started! :3

[diesmile]

You are so clutch Open IV was about to drive me crazy 😭

[TylerBonenfant]

im glad i saw this, gta iv is still my favorite game in the series

[thesomewhatfantasticmrfox]

After using GTA V's DLC/Mods folder in OpenIV for years, this is definitely a breath of fresh air for GTA IV, definitely coming back to check it out.

[somestoleit]

Than you for taking the time to make this, it's very comprehensive and covers every situation you can run into. GTA IV has been the first GTA game I've been able to make my own custom modpack, it was so frustrating for III, VC, and SA I said screw it and downloaded someone elses and tweaked.

[dmitry]

Ура, это произошло! Спасибо, пойду устанавливать GTA IV.

[renanrodrigues]

Do you plan to do an ultimate modding guide playlist for GTA 4 just like you did for GTA SA?

It would help a lot beginners and perhaps take advantage of GTA 6 hype that is going on now

[beerisvictory]

Thanks for the Video. 👌 I am completely new to gta 4 modding and will try to make these mods work 😅 Liberty Rush, Potential Grim, brake lights, project birds, project thunder

[shawnznumber]

Great vid. Could you make another showcasing your top 10 favorite fusion overloader mods with their respective installation instructions? Finally not afraid to mod with this modloader.

[psychoyuri]

so if I understand correctly "Fusion Overloader" is actually "FusionFix" ?

Good video btw so much better then using the old tedious way of OpenIV

[robert]

Regarding mods that are not built for the update folder, how are files that are meant to go in the games directory dealt with? Do they just go loose in the update folder, or should they be in their own folder?

[mowenreal]

I have 2 questions:
1. What would I do with addon versions of carcols, handling, vehOff, and vehicles.ide if I were adding addon vehicles
2. Would addon vehicles work this way or would I have to stick to the original method for addon vehicles
I am a little slow so maybe it's obvious or maybe it isn't but, I do want to be careful and make sure I do everything correctly

[ngybrid]

Aw shucks! If only FusionFix not needed for Fusion Overloader. I'm not using it due to performance issue. FPS dropped to 20s to 30FPS. Combined this with DXVK made my FPS lower lol. Before that it's 35+ FPS constant.
