GTA IV Patch 7/EFLC Patch 2

[Blissco]

I thought Fernando was a Spanish name!

[Tyrael8765]

so they've fixed that FPS drop in the "Sexy Time" mission... it's the highest FPS drop i've ever experienced in the whole GTA4/EFLC, even if my PC is quite old now.

[Blissco]

^^^ Yeh, but now theres an average 3 - 5 FPS drop in the whole game

[Simulated-AI]

 

Please R* just provide an optional patch for people who want the game to run like it used to before patch 6; you'd make a lot of people very happy.

Now that's what I'm talking about, thats all i want.

 

NO "fancy" shadows.

NO "memory optimyzations".

NO "Moon".

Etc.

 

I JUST WANT THE GAME TO BE LIKE PATCH 4 & 5!

 

@ Rockstar.

 

How can you add this stuff, and ruin the game???

I simply dont get it! This is probably on TOP 10 worlds most stupid/useless patches.

 

You got a prize now, but its not a good one. First you make a brilliant game, then you make it even better.

But NOW you totally ruined it, OMFG, how is this possible???

 

Give me the contacts on people who tested patch 6!

Guess i wont have that, since NO ONE tested it!

 

LOL

 

PS: Oh yes, ofcourse I'm mad, I paid for a product I thought was AT LEAST the same as GTA 4 Patch 5. But no no no, you had to ruin it!

What i don't understand with these people is why they don't just apply Patch 5. There, stop crying.

[Blissco]

^^^ Because of the sh*t shadows.

They did a great job by making TBOGT.I think it is even better than the main GTA IV.It is very entertaining.The game has it all like:luxury life and great characters like:yusof amir and luis himself.specially yusof amir(یوسف امیر in arabic).I truly love him.They greatly cloned an arabic naughty boy.As he said in the game:لا شيء هو أفضل من أ الولد الشقي العربية .It means nothing is better than an arabic bad boy.

Btw im still waiting for the direct link of this patch.

[TheAdmiester]

I just want to throw this out there -

 

IF you have Simple Trainer 5.9, and you have patched, the game WILL NOT LOAD. The game gave me basically the same error posted a few posts back. Removing the trainer files will also work.

 

You can download the new scripthook.dll from HERE.

 

Replace the ones in EFLC AND IV and you should be good to go.

(Yes, late, I know)

Ahh, thanks for that. Me and a friend had updated to 1.0.0.7 (?) and I told him I'd be a few minutes because my game wasn't loading. Turns out it was the ScriptHook. Now I'll be able to customize and spawn my beloved cars online again

[alooper21]

why r u saying "we" when it's only u who wants that. i also want to have Danish subtitles for IV/EFLC but i don't say it and if i did so i will say "i" instead of "we"

 

"WE" want Turkish subtitles, and thanks Rockstar.

 

"I want LATIN subtitles, there is wide community of LATIN speaking gamers."

 

Thanks for update Rockstar!

hey, i want elmer food's language, so R*, PLEASEEEEE!!!

No multiplayer since GFWL won't let you sign in until you apply the most recent patches.

[DRMetzger]

Thanks for continuing to support the game Rockstar Toronto but I have to ask, will we ever get recoil/bullet deviation on the guns? It almost seems like it was tweaked a little on the patch but a full magazine fully auto from an AR or SMG(only 2 I've checked so far, in IVanilla) will still make it into the same 1-2 bullet holes. This can't be the way it is intended as the reticule gets larger to show the varied spread that should be there and the gun shakes like crazy in your hand.

Any word back on this would be great, it really makes competitive MP not so fun and makes every other person seem to think everyone else is cheating.

[Cr!minal]

I really doubt R* will make any gameplay mechaninc changes, fixing bugs is rather more important.

[Gangstarapper]

where can I see that I´m using 1.0.0.7 ?

[TruXter]

where can I see that I´m using 1.0.0.7 ?

Lol I thought the exact same thing. I saw a live update but no R* update. Then I saw the game play was a steady 51 fps. I'm good with iit .

 

 

Lol

 

Proof enough for me.

[SWEETSAPRIK]

I would really like to know what I have to do to get the game to be playable for more than 5-20 minutes.

 

I run the game at 2048x1152 with all settings maxed, besides anisotropic filtering, which is set at x4. For the first 5-20 minutes I can play fine with no problems. I can fly a buzzard and spam rockets, I can get in a boat and drive around on the water, I can get into a shootout in Star Junction in rain, fog, or clear weather. None of the places you'd consider "resource intensive" give me any problems. Then at some point 5-20 minutes after playing I get random slowdowns no matter what I'm doing. I can't do anything, even stand on foot and change weapons anywhere in the game without suffering slowdown.

 

I've changed the settings to what the autoconfig uses, I've lowered it from there, I've lowered the resolution and set everything to medium, or off, I even tried setting everything to low. Nothing stops me from getting the slowdowns after 5-20 minutes. Multiplayer is a complete no-go because when the inevitable slowdowns start I get kicked with a "your computer is running too slow" error.

 

The game isn't using all of my resources, my machine isn't being taxed beyond what it can handle, the game is just crapping itself after a few minutes. I've gone from being able to play at 2048x1152 with all settings maxed to not being able to play at all on any settings for more than 20 minutes, usually more like 10.

 

What's more, sometimes pressing R3 and looking backwards stops the slowdowns for a few seconds. Sometimes pressing O and entering cinematic view makes them go away for a few seconds. Sometimes pausing it, waiting a second, then unpausing it makes the slowdowns go away for a few seconds. Other times nothing makes the game run at normal speed. And no changes in my settings stop this from happening.

 

I have been a diehard GTA fan for more than a decade. Not just GTA, but Rockstar in general. I've bought games that I otherwise wouldn't have simply because they had the Rockstar logo on them. Just in terms of GTA:IV, I have four copies of IV in my house, three for PS3 and one for PC. I have three copies of EFLC, two for PS3 and one for PC. Because of these last two patches the PC versions are useful for nothing more than really ugly coasters. The purpose of this last paragraph is just to really drive home the point that if you don't do something (and soon) to make this game playable for me for more than 5-20 minutes at a time, these will be the last games with a Rockstar logo on them that I shell out so much as a penny for.

 

I don't know what you've done in these last two patches to f*ck this game up, but I'd really appreciate it if you'd unf*ck it, sooner rather than later.

where can I see that I´m using 1.0.0.7 ?

Right click on the GTAIV.exe file and hit the details tab. It should name the version.

<Snip>

First of all, I can't really believe you run the game in the settings you say, unless you have -- lets say -- a Geforce 400 series SLi system with an i7-980x and 12GB DDR3-Tri channel ram.

 

I can see from your profile that you aren't likely to be lying, so you must have one beast of a rig. If that's the case, then you must be having one of the notorious GTA IV memory leaks. From what I've seen, there is a command like argument that can cap the memory resources that should help your issue.

Where's the manual patch download?

That means no multiplayer!

 

And EFLC comes with settings=patch 6!

 

So PLEASE explain how I can apply Patch 5 settings to EFLC?

 

Start thinking or I WILL cry over your stupid comments!

[SgtRiggs90]

 

R*, will there be Russian EFLC patch?

[XTREME0235]

Wow, the link that was provided for the patches a few pages back.

When you download it, you need the freaking password to unlock the files, this is bullsh*t.

 

XTREME0235.

[UltimateGTR]

@XTREME0235: Is http://www.rockstargames.com/support/IV/PC/patch/ the page you mentioned or another one? If it is another one, would you like to provide the URL, thank you!

Yep you do and that's why they posted the password underneath their link in the same post that they made.

[PaLi]

Can I get a DL link of the patch? GFWL makes me troubles getting patches installed.

[LooooP]

What is the site for I download from R*'s site? I can't download in the Live -.-'
