You know what I love about your videos? It's how clear you are and the ammount of useful info they contain. You don't just tell people "move this file here" and be done with it, you make an effort to make sure that a mod works for as many people as possible.

Stellar work, man! Cheers!

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

[jbnetosilva]

Thanks, man. A few months back, I attempted to set up DXVK, but couldn't get it to work. I eventually gave up. However, I randomly came across this video, and by following all the steps, it worked flawlessly—much simpler than other tutorials I had seen.

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!

that rain effect looks absolutely gorgeous, I didn't think it was possible to make it look that stunning.

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.

Thank you bro, your first video didnt work because i couldnt do the video memory thing, but using the steam launch options you provided in this video its now working and i can actually play the game with minimal stutters.

[carlwheezerstan]

Thanks bro, making sure that I installed the DXVK file too and putting the command arguements on regular GTAIV instead of the non-steam game option worked for me. 100+ FPS, great vid!

[lshxggyl]

you, my friend, are an absolute godsend. thank you for keeping the IV community alive. <3

[AChillGummy]

I had those resolution issues from doing your last guide and this fixed it. The game is using dxvk now. Thank you for making an updated version

[dannysummers]

this was the real game changer for me. I followed your other mod guide, and I had choppy FPS, but with this I can get a much smoother and consistent experience

[Unimaginable]

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

[auryy]

thank you so much buddy almost regretting that i bought this game and have to face these d3d errors saved my game dude!! earned a sub!

[MrRandomnumbergenerator]

u are doing an amazing job at bringing back this peace of art!

DXVK is a universal tool, not a GTA4 specific mod, that's why you don't need to drag all the files, but choose what you exactly need, for those who are confused.

edit: Don't forget to drag dxgi.dll file, the channel owner seemed to forget it

[suryaselva]

Been looking for this fix... Thank you so much...🙏 I wondered how GTA 4 isn't compatible with my 3070ti... Thank you for this fix... It's my first time playing GTA 4🎉❤

[ahfdee]

For anyone whose game crashes after installing dxvk try updating the graphics drivers, it solved the issue of game crashing and I did not have to specify the video memory it just worked

[eziosniper]

THANK YOU!!! Finally I can enjoy GTA 4 again and NOT have to worry about the damn game crashing every time I want to Alt + Tab out of it. Though I wish GTA 4 supported borderless fullscreen, but this is the next best thing. Thanks again for you're clear and concise guide on how to get GTA 4 running flawlessly now :)
