How to:Get Physical Car Damage on low ATi chipsets

[grandtheftauto1233]

Hello, if you a low end ATI video card user... and if you play gta iv.. and relized you don't have ANY physical vehicle damage...

 

I FOUND A SOLUTION!!

 

BEFORE YOU START... BACK-UP YOUR SHADER FOLDER IN YOUR GTA IV\COMMON\SHADERS FOLDER

 

First:

Open up the common\shaders\win32_30 folder (note.. you can use any other shader folder if you want... i tested the NV folders also)

 

Second:

Copy all (you can use ctrl to select all of these files at once) shaders that start with gta_vehicle*****

 

NOTE * is replaced by the names of shaders

 

Third:

After selecting all these files... press Ctrl+C to copy the files to the clipboard

 

Forth:

Next you would open up your common\shaders\win32_30_low_ati folder and paste the files in by right click and clicking paste (or press Ctrl+V) and if it asks for overwrite.. click yes to all.

 

Fifth:

Start up GTA IV and enjoy..

 

 

 

 

btw: this is my first IV tutorial... if it needs any changes... please notify me

 

 

I tested this with patch 2.. 3.. and 4..

 

 

 

 

how did this work for you guys? reply below

No physical damage? Is this a well known ATI issue? Because I haven't come across any ATI user with such a weird issue.

In commandline write: -forcer2vb and we have a damage in car. Tested on my old PC with ATI Radeon x1650Pro
