GTA IV Patch 7/EFLC Patch 2

[jnzooger 4]

Question: If I gona install the game, I need to install all the other patches or I just need to install Patch 7 ?!

Patch 7 contains all the relevant parts of the old patches, so just patch 7 is needed.

Thank you for the info jnzooger; helped me a lot.

They could be working on a PC version of Red Dead Redemption in secret    

If Rockstar Toronto is doing that, it would explain the new bunch of job openings on their site. They weren't there when

I checked a few months ago.

Hmm maybe they are trying to remake the engine. That is a great opportunity for advanced scripters like aru or Alexander Blade, well they may not be advanced but still enough good to work on something like Rockstar Toronto imo.

I'll say. I was actually hoping for one of our experienced modelers to infiltrate R* Toronto and figure out they make models and such, but that would require, "Prior experience coding on a commercially released game title."

 

Ah, damn it all.

Let me say that knowing a bunch of my machinima friends who got hired by BioWare a couple of years ago, this is NOT a stringent requirement for most. If you have a good portfolio, and can show good motivation and teamwork skills, AND can do lots of work in a short time, they'll take a serious look at you.

Or directly install 1.0.0.7 from 1.0.3.0?

Please, mate, read.

 

Patch 7 contains all the relevant parts of the old patches, so just patch 7 is needed.

[Anasterian 726]

I wonder if R* is actually working on patch 8 or did they give us up.

strange patch. before it I may play at settings "All Very High". now possible to play only if the quality of shadows is on "high" (same performance as previous "very high"), but with this setting shadows look disgusting. shadow under the main character (or vehicle) is partially cut off, and all the shadows on buildings and other objects appear at stepping distances. this is just ugly and cheap. optimisation? this is lol, not optimisation.

The new shadows were placed in patch 6. The quality is better imo, but needs more perfomance from GPU and maybe CPU, R* said it lowers the usage of video memory, this might be right since the shadows appear not from far distance. These shadows totally suck, the old shadows were better, i could use high shadows with decent frames, but now i have to turn shadows off completely for smooth perfomance.

There are many threads and many posts of this problem, and people always seem to have the same answer which you could start looking for now instead of asking before using google.

Classy R* releases more and more classy patches.

 

I'm willing to bet that if they ever release RDR on PC, it'll be just as classy.

 

Stay classy R*, I'm happy for the fact that you actually save me money... shame I didn't read this forum more before I actually bought IV, but eh.

 

Maybe, for once, you could try and rework the engine, optimise it so people can actually play it, instead of seeing the game go down the drain patch after patch.

 

Just a thought, though...

And what of these fixes helps with shadows? 180.84 drivers are too old for GTX 275. Atleast it says so when i try to install it.

[Marcin6 17]

They should fix this memory leaks problems

Wow ! nice R* you f*cked up ballad of gay tony , some missions are loading for ever

Sorry if this question seems 'noobish', but does patch v.1.0.7.0 prevent mods working? I'm aware that the original version required a 'magic.bat' to allow mods/bypass security checks; is anything like this still required for the latest update? Many thanks in advance for any help!
