ikt Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 (edited) Hello. I completely reinstalled GTA IV yesterday because i hated how it looked with the new patch. Those few FPS extra are a nice thing, but i rather play online on my Xbox, so there is no need for me to play online at the PC. I just want to walk around in Liberty City enjoying the scenery. So, what patch is the most compatible one with the least amount of bugs? Patch 3/4/5 were all thge same to me. The only thing i liked about the fifth patch was the anility to freely look around in a chopper without having to press RMB. Oh, specs: Windows 7 64bit Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300 @ 2.5GHz (can't overclock due OEM bios) 4GB DDR2 RAM. Sapphire HD4830 512MB (equals the performance of a HD4850 with current OC) 1TB HDD, divided into 4 partitions: 2x not related 1x 60GB for Windows 1x 800GB for my stuff (games) Hard disk partitions always 100% defragmented. I use GameBooster for defragging game folders. Got 30 FPS with medium settings (auto config with highest shadows) Edited December 10, 2009 by ikt Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/435063-qbest-patch-modding-ability-and-the-least-bugs/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murcchachosa Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Patch 1 is the best...(for me) Patch 5 is the worse...(for me) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/435063-qbest-patch-modding-ability-and-the-least-bugs/?do=findComment&comment=1059679204 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hydro_PT Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 So, what patch is the most compatible one with the least amount of bugs? Patch 3/4/5 were all thge same to me. The only thing i liked about the fifth patch was the anility to freely look around in a chopper without having to press RMB. That's the answer, in your own post. If the last 3 patches are all the same for you, choose whichever you want. Seems like the 5th patch is the best for you because of the free look ability in the chopper. So, go for it. The best patch to me was the 5th, but I'm playing for 100% again with patch 4 because of some mods.

Murcchachosa Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 Patch 1 I think. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/435063-qbest-patch-modding-ability-and-the-least-bugs/?do=findComment&comment=1059679373 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hydro_PT Posted December 10, 2009 Share Posted December 10, 2009 So... which patch has the most mods for it? (I only care about asi/.net mods) All my .asi mods work great with patch 4, and as far as I know, most mods were already updated to work with patch 5. Just try it out.

WTFX Posted December 14, 2009 Share Posted December 14, 2009 1.0.3.0 definitely. least bugs and great performance. i'd say the same about 1.0.1.0 but it misses the newer additions like the lights at the bridge, working clock tower, street names.. and also some settings i think. also 1.0.4.0 was ok, but for me performance was a bit less than 1.0.3.0. i'll say 3 & 4 are worth trying, to see which one runs better on ur rig. 1.0.2.0 had missing objects, 1.0.0.4 has a sh*tload of graphical glitches. damn R*, this ain't the way to go.

jaak170 Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'd say patch 3 (or was it 2?), which added all those new options to mess around with in the options.

Lodis Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 I run patch 1.040 and patch 1.0.04. The latest gives me the best performance by far.
