[WIP] IV:SA³ 'World Enhancement'

[cl55684]

Remember this mod that makes gta sa god style with better graphics.

[MATAM]

I have a downgraded Steam version of GTA IV (downgraded to 1.0.7.0) with the DLCs. I downgraded it with this guide: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AyFKKu1L_Y. During setup, only XLiveLess was checked during custom setup. When the setup reached the patching stage, the gps.rpf, resident.rpf, speech.rpf and STREAMED_VEHICLES.rpf files couldn't be patched. After setup when I try to lauch IV San Andreas from the launcher it complains that the launcher couldn't find the EXE to be launched, preventing me to launch the game.

 I just recently installed this mod but there seems to be a problem with launcher. I wanted the pedestrians addon which is available from in-net launcher but it displays error 500 which means that the server is not active or available . Sad I can't see peds in San andreas

Give it another try - online services are working at the moment. There were some legacy code issues that I fixed a few months back. While the mod might be dead, I'd like to keep it operational for a long as possible for historical purposes.

Bit late to the party with this one, but it doesn't look like the downgrader downgrades all files. Your best bets would be to find and purchase an old retail copy, 'acquire' an older full copy, or own the game on Steam and use Steam DepotDownloader to download the old 1.0.0.7 manifest. Here's how I was able to get the game running with a legit Steam license:

1. Download Steam DepotDownloader
2. Extract Steam DepotDownloader.
3. Within the folder, hold down shift and right-click in a blank space within the folder - select the Open PowerShell Window Here option.
4. Run the following command in PowerShell:  

   Quote

   .\DepotDownloader.exe -app 12210 -depot 12211 -manifest 164691614299318355 -username YOUR_STEAM_USERNAME -password YOUR_STEAM_PASSWORD

5. Once finished, you'll have a complete copy of GTAIV 1.0.0.7 in the /depots/12211/6494866/ folder. If you kept your product key before Rockstar removed them from Steam (even from those that had purchased it before the removal of GfWL) - great you can install IVSA now!
   If not, you'll need to download the IV & DLC Downgrade pack (you'll have to find it because I can't link due to it containing 'warez' . Ain't it great corporations like T2/Rockstar can break and 'steal'/remove things from your copy of the game without consequence, but files to restore your legal copy to working and original order are considered legally questionable? Modern copyrights!) for some files and do the next steps.
6. Extract the downgrader files.
7. In the /files_for_bat/shared/install/ folder from the downgrader, copy the following into your GTAIV folder: lang.ini, logo-paul.bmp, paul.dll, play.dll, PlayGTAIV.exe
8. In your GTAIV folder, rename/delete LaunchGTAIV.exe and rename the PlayGTAIV.exe file you just copied to LaunchGTAIV.exe
9. Install IVSA with xliveless selected.

Where did you download the mod from?

 

Judging by the file name it detected, it may be a false positive. For what it's worth I re-installed the mod last year using the download on the main site with Windows Defender running and had no detections.

I have the same exact problem. I literally bought this game just for this mod, which I never have made it work in the past with cracked versions and different PCs (over the years I would try to install it from time to time).

 

My suspicions were that it was because I had a cracked copy of GTA IV, but now with a fresh legit Steam version, downgraded to 1.0.7.0 (I also tried 1.0.4.0 but same thing), I get the same error as you... It doesn't work.

[RyderNibba69]

I installed the mod on a clean copy of 1.0.4.0 (real 1.0.4.0 not downgraded). This mod just quits after EAX screen when launching with LaunchGTAIV.exe, but when going straight to GTAIV.exe it gets to the NVIDIA screen, then black screen for a while and then error. I installed it in a VM first and copied to my main PC so that I don't need to run the patcher as it's really sketchy looking https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/29eb2a540220a54df5c491cbdfb9d97c8c51dade3ae1ab5babfbf3dabd1db14b

 

The launcher ain't much better https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/44194ece62e50699168727022491e41e89308ea843c1e7213f2628d15d045d4c

 

Before you say I got a sketchy version from some random site, I download from the official site and even did both the MD5 and SHA1 hash checks, and the VM in which it was installed was freshly installed and clean.

 

Here's the error:

[SomeRandomModder500]

im having the same problem whenever i launch the thing it says missing the exe

[SomeRandomModder500]

Okay so for the past i've been having these issues alot and i cannot seem to find a fix anyway this is a clean installation of gta 4 and this is patch 1.0.7.0 and i've tried other patches they don't work either but this doesn't work too.

I was able to find a version of gta 4 that was optimized,  tested it out and now the game doesn't crash every 5-10 mins also fixed some texture disapearing issues literally been playing it for hours...  But still could crash here n there it but its way less likely now and more reliable then ever before 

Can you tell me which version? Because I too have crashes every 10 minutes.

[AndreiDoru]

Where is the install???

 

[rrrrr]

1) In BETA 3 I'm get Admiral and car can not drive on roadside - collisions do not work properly.

2) GTA 4 "bicycle script mod" released:

https://www.gtainside.com/en/gta4/mods/63194-bicycle-script-mod/

It will be good, if this mod will be implemented in GTA 4 SA mod.

Find the file IVSALauncher.exe. Folder, contain this file is the install folder.

[Yumiko]

Hi, just wondering if anyone could help me, i installed the mod just now to try it, and when i install everything it say that the Exe file to be launched could not be found, in the GTA IV San andreas launcher, please someone help me

[Boostified]

This conversion mod will not work if you downgrade current Steam or RGSC version down, you specifically need original 1.1.2.0 build or under for it to work. As to why it is like that, my best guess is that versions following after that one were modified in a such a way that when installing the mod it is just running into some sort of file integrity issues or something, I am not sure.

 

And on the other topic, does anyone know how to prevent the mod from crashing game after 10 - 15 minutes of it running? I have tried applying large address aware patch on the executable but it didn't help it in any way.

 

EDIT: I got my hands on original GTA IV cd pc installers, after applying patches up to 1.0.7.0 and then this conversion mod my game no longer is crashing as often as it did previously.
