wow.gif  wow.gif  It looks horrible

I know... I couldn't see what's wrong with the files too...

You are the first who report such error

Any fix?

No, I don't really know sad.gif by the way do you really play GTA on that rig? 7300 gt is very weak card

Well, it'll have to do right now. I'm using my other PC for batch processing for work, and it won't be available till tomorrow...

 

But anyways. Thanks, I guess. tounge.gif

So try to run this tweak on your other PC, if it fails you are victim of misfortune.

This tweak is really good! I used the first one because it has all 3, I haven't really especially checked out the shadows, I mostly drove around because it's so much better now! Without the tweak you never feal like you're going fast at all, with this tweak, you do!

It's amazing! Thank you so much for making this!!

Hi, I liked the mod....

But I cant realy choose between tweak 1 and 3.. I like the Motion blur... but its a little to much.

 

Is there an way to edit your files so we can reduce the amount of motion blur?

 

I realy dont like that much blur.. A little less would be perfect.

 

I hope to get an reaction from you soon.

I used Tweak 7 and wow - it makes the graphics look brilliant and I can see further and I have smooth speed now and the shadows are better too and the skyline looks suberb and everything!

 

One thing it hasn't changed, and I still have a problem with, is the water. I have seen 360 water and seen the water in your '24 hours in Liberty City' and my water is nothing like it. No ripples, no textures, just flat and plastic grey with refelctions that wobble, making the water look like wobbly flat5 jelly! There are no refelctions, no waves to look at nothing at all like what I have seen in video's - anyone knows what gives?

Check these two threads : wink.gif

 

http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=395957 (it seems the problem was in multiple commands in commandline file)

Thanks Thales! Changed the 'Performance' to 'Quality' and the water became what I have seen in video's - and it looks fantastic! Best water i have seen since Oblivion and Morrowind with the MGE mod and a water shader that was done for it! You are a star M8!!!!

Lol, I was busy all day and now... I look here and it's crowded like never before smile.gif My youtube video got hundreds of views every hour and I noticed 200% more downloads of my tweak. Hell yeah smile.gif

 

Little off topic: My ram is 2x1GB ddr2 GEIL 800mhz modules with CL4 latency, today I was in store and just thought that it might be a good idea to buy more ram. But there weren't any GEIL modules and any CL4 modules. So I bought 2GB Kingston ddr2 800mhz cl6 module. Yeah, now I have three modules and 4GB of total RAM but I wonder if it's not bad to mess around with modules from different manufacturers. And Isn't BIOS going to slow down my cl4 RAM to cl6 just to equate latency? Leave this ram inside or get rid of it?

4GB is better than 2GB even if latency is lowered!

 

And your 24hour video is amazing. The first traffic light cross section scene, about 90 seconds in by the bustop, is almost photo-realistic!!!! And thanks for your tweak 3 and Thales advice as my game now looks/plays fantastically! smile.gif

hey guys, nice tweaks, i thought i'd share mine on the topic.

 

i put my swapfile on 3 striped HDD's, and the game on a seperate drive from the swap and system.

 

then used tweak5 from here. booya. 40 FPS rather than 19 on a palit 8800gs, 2gig ddr2 ram, dual 4200+ AM2 piece of crap.

 

anyone had problems with Ntune? lawl. i cant use it at all without horrific lockups

Aww. Tried it with my Q6600 3.2Ghz/GMI GTX280/4GB RAM.

 

Same results. I'll stick to the default [p] filter.

Well i think when you mix different speed and latencies, the mobo will use the lowest speed and the highest latencies for all the RAM sticks, but as uk_john said, its certainly better to have 4 Gb at a higher latency than 2 Gb of a lower latencies RAM. wink.gif

Nope. It's like everything becomes low res mipmaps, my FPS drops from 50 to 10 then everything blurs up. cryani.gif

Lol, your rigs are breeding ground for bugs wink.gif I must ask this...Are you sure you are doing everything as it's said in instruction?

Yeah... but GTAIV is the only buggy game for me. Oh, and Fallout 3. Damn that bugfest.

 

Anyways, I've been doing what it says in the instructions. replace visualsettings.dat and replage rage_postfx.fxc in the shader folders. Still the same. bored.gif

You know what? I've never encountered a single crash in GTA IV, or in Fallout 3...you must be a washout ;p

Is the only way to find framerates using the benchmark option? Or is there a console command or other way to see what framerate you're getting?

I want a share of all the wine and women  wink.gif

Yeah, when I saw today that my thread is all day crowded with at least 15 guests I started googling and found this "news" on http://www.pcgameshardware.com and few less popular sites. Charlie, you made this thread a sticky... so we can make a good deal. I give you girls and you give me an award lol.gif ;p

 

It's even funnier that my previous creation(24 Hours In Liberty City) also made it to main page of big gaming portal;) I even had an offer from a really big Polish news corporation. They wanted me to work as editor of their videos;)But I told them that I need time to consider this so it's still open smile.gif
