Totally agree tbh. I have just been assuming that others haven’t been experiencing the same crashes that I have. Sometimes I have 15 minutes of gameplay before it crashes, other times it can last an hour or so without crashing.

 

I’m going to test the game with traffic disabled as I have a suspicion that at least some of the crashes relates to the traffic paths. I wouldn’t consider modding something that’s already unstable with these patches and car mods. 

 

Don't waste your time on this, do yourself a favour

Holy $hit like this is so BAD

like ok, you got it on IV's engine, but wow, bsolutely 0 QA testing has done for this mod, and even if someone did test it, the job he did is really bad.

So many crashes like omg, how was this even allowed to be released. can't believe I waited for this.

Test your mod before releasing it, just unplayable if it crashes when absolutelythe game has no reason for it to crash, just did guardian angels and when the last van spawned it just crahsed, I died during Mall shootout and just crashed.

 

Guess I will not play it until another update comes out which hopefully fixes this problem.

Are you playing at high draw distance settings? Since I had crashes when both are set to 100 and lowering it down to 30-35 on both pretty much fixes my crashing issues since I have it set to 4k ultra and experiencing all sorts of crashes before hand.

Dude, its not supposed to be like that, why tf do I have to play at a low draw distance?

Does anyone know how to input cheats? I have only the mod installed, no other add ons. I tried doing the button inputs both while in game and paused but still nothing. 

I can't get the console open to type them either no matter which key i press

Amazing that people are still saying "this small group of modders did what Rockstar couldn't!" in light of the mountain of bugs, glitches and crashes (no disrespect to the Revolution team). People just have no idea how much work it actually is to rebuild a game like this, not to mention GSG was tasked with three games all at once. It's even funnier when you see those kind of comments on those Unreal engine models of Grove street where they have literally just created one street and some characters, with borrowed stock assets like cars and props.

 

The reason this mod is so ambitious is because it ports the storyline as well. Most other "better than the Trilogy" mods do not.

 

Hopefully this isn't another mod that gets 75% of the way there and never gets finished, like most ambitious mod projects. The "update" section of the launcher suggests they do intend to continue work on it if they aren't stopped by T2.

[finelog91]

This project is simply mind blowing. Porting like 95% of the game including missions, without developer tools, and as a 4 person team, FOR FREE... Unbelievable.

 

And there still are some ungrateful spoiled kids whining because they might have found some bug here and there.

Im in exact middle when it comes to 2 post above the mod is playable and you can say it is complete and thats very big, cause most mods are canceled before release and if that happen usualy die somwhere in beta 2.0 territory

 

I Feel GSG is overly hated as well, the mobile ports and Definitive edition despite flaws was more ambicious and interesting than a Simple wide screen and resolution patch most people would preffer

The project is excellent. They show that a group of enthusiasts of a few people can port a game over twenty years old to a completely different graphic engine, and this is not just a hack and slash. Cutscenes, scripting tasks, "playing with programs" like 3ds max, Blender, Maya. They devoted many hours, months to bring the project to the state it is in, and this is a huge step. There will always be envious people who will try to clip the wings of any modders, any games, in their envy. Usually, it is in the nature of such people to spit venom and stick needles.

Don't forget that GSG clearly used AI to make Definitive Editions, unlike Nextgen mod which was 100% a human-made project.

I have forked the fork of Fusionfix that allows it to work with GFWL, to disable any shader fixes and so on so it works with ENB (also widescreen fix cause it seemed to issues for me), don't think it still works that well cause it seems to crash right after cutscenes or at least the Demolition Man one https://github.com/Clippy95/GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix-GFWL-ENB, not sure if anyone would like to fix that but it crashes at 0xDF7C24 due to a null pointer

Hi, new user here. This works fine for the most part except:

1. New game crashes after the ambush scene. It seems to be RNG, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

2. The options in the Display tab don't do anything. Motion Blur for example is still enabled despite being off in the Display tab
I have enb enabled, btw.

 

EDIT: New Game crash issue persists when ENB is disabled.

EDIT2: Seems to be caused when using FusionFix fork with DXVK.

With all due respect to what has been achieved with the mod, some issues still prevent it from being a true definitive version of the game. Certain elements remain as leftovers from GTA IV, such as cold weather effects with visible exhaled air and animations suggesting that Tommy is cold. Some sounds are also taken from GTA IV. Additionally, driving requires a complete overhaul, and some missions don’t translate well into the new engine, making them either too easy or too difficult.

I now see that the Definitive Edition is actually closer to what the game should look like. I also understand what they were trying to achieve by updating NPC models and making them more varied, as the old ones look like something out of Minecraft in the new engine.

I hope all these issues and more will be addressed in future updates so this can truly become the definitive edition of the game.

 

 

Yea I noticed those weather effects but this obviously isn't complete and now it's even more difficult. the driving is horrible, but I added this realistic handling mod from gta 4's nexusmods page and it seems a little better.

I figured the driving would be one of the biggest priorities of the mod because of the huge difference, just having more speed and less skidding would be much better, I tried to edit the handling file but i have no idea what I'm doing lol.

of course the official definitive edition is closer but i think the characters in this have kept their same look but updated besides for the horrible body issues.

i personally think this el chango hd ped pack for vice city would be better to use because they were made like gta 4 but it would need to be converted over to gta 4.

Am I writing chinese? I cant be the only one with this huge pain in the ass issue that is clearly the mods fault? If you download a game and run the setup you expect to 1. Install it properly 2. To be able to run the game with the already checked settings from the launcher. You shouldnt turn off a huge setting from the launcher to be able to actually run the game so whoever made the installer did something wrong. When I download a game and install it and the game doesnt start than I always uninstall the damn game and delete the downloaded file. I have no time to waste. Funny how legit bought games from steam, epic, EA, ubisoft etc have zero issues it is always those warez games that give us headaches and problems There is always something wrong. And somehow it is always the user's fault when a game wont run, never the fault of the damn repacker and uploader

 

If you wanna release a game, how about first making sure there are 0 bugs? How about making sure that the game will actually start on all systems? How do these guys actually run tests? I really wonder. They figure if it runs on their system o well that it will run on all systems bugfree? Logic?

 

In this case ENB enabled is the issue that doesnt let you run the game. Surely those 4 russian developers must know whats wrong

i had enb activated automatically and it works and i took it off.

 this team of people weren't actually hired from rockstar, you're speaking like they were, and this is an official release.

something else must have happened with your game, at first i had to put my security options of my game folder to full control before it did work.

but that would give you a warning so I don't think it's that.

enb on gta 4 on my amd ryzen computer doesn't work ever no matter which one so except for this mod so maybe you have that issue.

There is no Direct-Download available, if that's what any of you are looking for.
 

 If you look back through the thread, (here) on page 35 towards the bottom, i posted the info-hash; you can use that to download via your preferred torrent client (eg. qbittorrent), just add the info hash as you would with any other torrent link.

Quote

Here is the info-hash, since the .torrent link was taken down:

15beb0146e7b74e17e585449f5cf514c2f4000f2

you could also cough "go back-in-time" to get the .torrent link that was originally posted here, either method has the same result
