Zer0w5 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Is patch 6 going to mess with handling files in the way EFLC does, ie not editable with notepad ? Well even if it does, as long as you'd backup the files before the update, everything should be fine... this is GTA, we know that someone will find a way to get your old mods working again Yeah, but to be honest, if this is the way R will deter cheaters (by locking up the game, even SP modding) then I don't think I will bother. It seems the new way of doing things won't even let you replace or add cars. I guess we'll just have to wait and see... but I'm still pretty sure that someone will make those files moddable again in a matter of weeks Yeah +1 I love keeping plusses because im awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gr, another reason I hate region restrictions now... there's no way I can get EFLC within the next few days to look into it. I hope the patch will also bring the change, so I can get at least a tiny look at it. Could you post a screenshot of the file in a hex editor? I'm wondering if it's AES or just binary.

Smiler-Online Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I would imagine that the Latest patch will encrypt the IV installs files (such as handling.dat) aswell then since you can buy EFLC over gfwl and add that to the IV install (I think) but I'm still sure someone will make a workaround!

NTAuthority Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Why the language versions were separated again? Likely due to a last-minute change of EFLC plans, but we'll only know for sure if the new patch comes in separate 'EFIGS' versions again. However, the three different version numbers do sound like that. Inactive in GTA/R* title modification indefinitely pursuant to a court order obtained by TTWO. Good job acting against modding!

ObsessedWithGTA4 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) I can confirm that EFLC PC does have a Antistropic Filter option up to 16x. However R* ruined this f*cking game. They encrypted all the files which now makes modding ANYTHING as much as a handling line IMPOSSIBLE. If you are into modding don't buy this game. It don't run any better then IV, actually I think it runs worse and its vanilla vs my heavily modded IV install which runs better. I suspect this patch 6 will do the same and encrypt all the files thus RUINING this ALREADY RUINED game. We can't even mod in Single Player now. RUN TWO INSTALLS EVERYONE. 1.4 or 1.5 for single player and 1.6 for MP (Since you are forced to). Shame on you Rockstar!!!!

WHO WANTS EFLC IF THE PATCH THAT COMES OUT WITH IT RUINS IV ITSELF?!?! BTW. None of the EFLC XBOX text files are encrypted, so we can get all the data from there. I have 12 of the TBOGT vehicles with proper colors and handing in there working perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vinnie Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Wow there's some nice mature discussion going on in this thread.... I'll wait for this patch to see if they really have fixed GTA IV (and not lagging because that was never a problem in the first place for me) just the bug fixes such as shadows etc. If this patch really does bring the game to a good standard I'll be more than happy to purchase TLaD and TBoGT from GFWL. If not then I'll just leave it, as much as I appreciate Rockstar having an employee posting on a public forum I'm still not all that pleased with the way the PC version of GTA IV has been handled, if this is the "fix all" patch then it's taken them over a year which is definitely unacceptable. Anyway I'll post back once the update has been released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gforce Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 woohoo it looks like it's "Game On" time. if anyone in here has got EFLC installed can you jump onto the IV Modding irc channel and throw me a copy of the gta.dat file please ? @anyone who cares about file copyright etc, i'll be buying EFLC on the 16th anyway so you'll only be prolonging the agony by complaining Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsessedWithGTA4 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 PM me for any files you need. If I can assist in any modding to get this game to mod I will help. gta.dat is gibberish encryption though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpTheImps Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Stop arguing. We WILL crack this game, Be pleased for the amazing patch and EFLC and the AA x16! Since when was GTAIV ruined, I know it has it's short commings but so does every game and this new patch will sort most of it out! "Let's go, let's bounce baby! An' When I say bounce I don't mean bouncing literally I just mean..." "I know what it means Yusuf." "It's a term from the street meaning you have to walk, but if you don't get that it's a bit like rolling. You have to roll, not like a fat man rolling, it means actually just walk." "Can we just go?"

James_Earl_Cash Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Well, I'll be pleased if the patch is released in the next five hours, and I'll be pleased if it isn't. I'm out of download quota, but it gets reset in five hours. I'd like the patch ASAP though, so I'll do with a slow download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObsessedWithGTA4 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I do have to admit that the new AA and night shadow filters make this game look INCREDIBLE, even without gfx mods. Sorry for the rage post a few posts up, but Rockstar is a hot mess right now and I seriously doubt I will support them like I have been.

Johnix1 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 • Provide in-game support to purchase "The Lost and Damned" and "The Ballad of Gay Tony" (Not available in Russian/Japanese Versions) what does this means? R* told in it's twitter that russian version will be available at March 30, but that was before delay, I thought it will be available with european release (April 16) but... what the hell? and this modding protection, probably it was made because of cheaters in MP, but I like modding and that's sad =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler-Online Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 If it has Anti Aliasing support then I gather that it has DX10/10.1 or DX11 support if they have added support for DX10/10.1 or DX11 I hope that they have added a x64 exe to enable the game to take full advantage of my RAM too!

UltimateGTR Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Thank you Rockstar Games, I appreciate a lot for still making patch for a game which released on 2008!

ObsessedWithGTA4 Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 If you want EFLC now just have someone steam gift if from the USA. I did it for (Indi) and he was downloading it on the 12th, 10 minutes before official launch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
