[Silent 14,819]

These games are surely great, nonetheless they have some issues. This modification attempts to fix some of them.

Featured fixes:

GTA SA: (last update: 09.03.2019)

 

• 14ms frame delay has been removed. As a result, game now locks properly on 30 FPS instead of 25 FPS
• More precise frame limiter, reducing lag spikes a bit when playing with Frame Limiter on
• Game timers now tick in a more accurate manner, making them not freeze if framerate exceeds 1000 frames per second; in other words, this fixes occasional freezes on fadeouts if playing with Frame Limiter off
• Mouse should not lock up randomly when exiting the menu on newer systems anymore
• Mouse vertical axis sensitivity now matches horizontal axis sensitivity
• Mouse vertical axis does not lock during camera fadeins now
• NUM5 is now bindable (like in 1.01)
• 16:9 resolutions are now selectable (like in 1.01)

• DirectPlay dependency has been removed - this should improve compatibility with Windows 8 and newer
• Path to the GTA San Andreas User Files directory is now obtained differently, increasing compatibility and future-proofing the games more
• A heap corruption in one place is now fixed (did not affect gameplay but could potentially make the game crash)

• Fixed an issue introducing graphical artifacts from ped animations with high RAM usage - so called "streaming memory bug"
• Fixed a bug causing cheat-spawned melee weapons to be forcibly replaced by other melee weapons upon walking into a pickup

• Lights now get casted on vehicles and peds properly - previously, they'd dissapear under some conditions
• In addition, when playing on Visual FX Quality higher than low, the game will now cast up to 6 lights on each model both indoors and outdoors (on Low details, game's stock behaviour has been kept - allowing up to 4 lights per model outdoors and 6 indoors)
• Muzzle flash looks better now
• Muzzle flash will now show up when firing the last bullet from the clip
• Coronas' don't have a Z test forced all the time now - as a result, sunglare now matches original PS2 version

• Colliding with another car will now damage proper parts on both cars - previously, both cars got damaged the same way
• Fixed a crash on car explosions - most likely to happen when playing with a multimonitor setup

Non-GTA SilentPatches:

Colin McRae Rally 2.0: (last update: 08.08.2015)

 

Featured fixes:

 

 

• The game now handles ALL aspect ratios properly. That means the game will not be horribly scretched when playing in widescreen anymore.
• The game now defaults to borderless windowed mode. This change gets rid of a DirectDraw bug on Windows 8 and newer, which would make the game run in a window even if fullscreen is requested, also affecting performance negatively. Fullscreen borderless windowed mode does not have any of these issues, and looks identical to real fullscreen. Both windowed and borderless can be toggled via SPCMR2.ini file.
• When playing in windowed mode (borderless or not), the game can handle Alt+Tab properly now.
• All dependencies on registry keys have been removed. This makes the game fully portable and also fixes an occasional issue, where the game would not launch without Administrator privileges (due to an incorrect way the game was reading registry keys).
• Logging has been removed for good (since it would never log anything anyway). The game used to create a log file in C:\ which would often make the game require Administrator privileges to run.
• Regions can now be switched via the INI file. Depending on the game version, it has different region directories included in CountrySpecific directory. Now, if you have more than one region installed, you can easily switch between them.
• Field of View can now be adjusted via the INI file. You can select any value in 30.0 - 150.0 range.
• Support for non-Full installation methods has been removed. On the plus side, the game will never ask for a CD now.

The Godfather: The Game: (last update: 01.03.2018)

 

Featured fixes:

 

CRASH AND BUG FIXES:

• Movie player has been rewritten to work on any operating system
• Game has been disallowed from writing registry keys to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE - those writes were relayed to VirtualStore, potentially creating hard to troubleshoot crashes

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS:

• In addition to making movie player usable, it now can be configured to preserve aspect ratio of displayed movies instead of stretching them. Refer to SilentPatchGF INI file for more details
• An option to skip intro movies has been added to SilentPatchGF INI file
• An option to change FPS cap has been added to SilentPatchGF INI file (game defaults to 30FPS, but it appears like using 60FPS does not cause any major issues)
• Log file has been relocated to main game directory - so game does not attempt to write to C:\ when it crashes
• Game is now fully portable - dependency on installation path in registry has been removed
• Game now defaults to desktop resolution on the first launch - so it will not default to 800x600 anymore

• Collision loading has been improved, fixing occasional crashes on initial game load
• Fixed game's objects pool usage, fixing possible crashes
• Fixed an occasional crash when starting Nutcrackin' or Music Class
• Frame Limiter has been made much more precise, so the game should lock at exactly 30FPS now (as opposed to stock limiter being prone to dropping frames a lot)

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS:

• An option to change FPS cap has been added to SilentPatchBully.ini file (game defaults to 30FPS)
• FILE_FLAG_NO_BUFFERING flag has been removed from IMG reading functions - potentially speeding up streaming

Far Cry: (last update: 06.07.2018)

 

Featured fixes:

 

CRASH AND BUG FIXES:

• Water reflections now work as expected on modern Windows versions
• Vertical Sync option now works as expected - it used to be ignored by the game completely, defaulting to VSync off
• Fixed a crash occuring when using a mouse scroll wheel during loading screens
• Fixed a crash/freeze on exit when using a 64-bit executable

QUALITY OF LIFE IMPROVEMENTS:

• -64bit commandline option has been added - when it's used, the game will always attempt to launch using a 64-bit executable. This is useful for getting a 64-bit version of the game to work via Steam, as previously it was required to swap files around.

Silent, this is everything I've always wanted for III PC. Thank you so much.

[TJGM 5,813]

Looks great, now if I could only figure out why my Vice City is crashing I'd be able to use it. (not caused by this mod btw)

 

Also, I noticed you didn't include an ini and this also fixes the rain reflections, I was wondering if you could add the ini to enable rain reflections even when its not raining too like the original fix.

[Silent 14,819]

I haven't added it as I wanted this plugin only to patch stuff, not add any new features. You can still use RefFix to force reflections to show all the time and plugins will not collide with each other. Same goes for increased probability of Rosie's line to play in VC (standalone fix increases it, this one keeps it at the original value).

Great work,as always.

He would be the first person to actually do something useful and right there!

 

That's a step foward fixing R*!

Put him on the "last minute fixes" department. The amount of bugs would be cut by half.

It has a small issue on GTA LC. The shadows behind the stars shouldn't be there. It looks weird whenever you don't have a wanted level.

I knew you'll point it out.

 

1. Headlight fix - I'm pretty sure DK22 made it first. Besides, your scripts are workarounds and have issues like this

while my fix does exactly the same as Steam EXE code.

 

2. Glows under pickups - well, I knew about your mod too. Check the dates though. I first published a screen from III with this fix at 22nd December:

http://gtaforums.com/topic/460954-grand-theft-auto-iii-chain-game-lounge/?p=1064358636

And your mod was uploaded on libertycity.ru 4 days later. So technically I was the first to make it

 

3. Missing props - in all honesty, didn't know about this one.

 

 

 

It has a small issue on GTA LC. The shadows behind the stars shouldn't be there. It looks weird whenever you don't have a wanted level.

Pretty sure this shadow was in III too.

 

 

 

So, now I can delete reffix.asi ans rosiefix.asi right?

and what if I'm using Vice Cry?

Just don't replace IPLs which they already changed. I believe they restored these props too anyway. Edited December 29, 2013 by SilentPL

Just a quick question though: Is it possible to include a widescreen fix too with this mod?

[Fireburns 7]

Hi SilentPL

 

Thanks for providing this patch! Shadows behind the icons and glows under the pickups are really nice. However, I'm experiencing one problem: The font when repainting a car is now way too big. https://www.dropbox.com/s/dcectsx4bf4qh0n/11.jpg

 

Two questions:

Is there a chance you could fix the lights shining through garage doors? This issue has been around since GTAIII came out, so it has actually nothing to do with your mod. But since you are fixing R*'s bugs, this could be an easy one for you too. https://www.dropbox.com/s/v7rg9v3biyes9aa/22.jpg

 

When using ENB series, all the highlighted areas when playing mission (which should be blue btw) become more transparent. Are you aware of a workaround regarding this issue as well?https://www.dropbox.com/s/tz39esow1jkde3x/33.bmp

Not sure if it's worth making another widescreen fix. TG13's looks just fine.

It's not, it's just widescreen fix not rescaling it. But now it's the size R* intended it to be

No clue what causes it, but I may try to fix it. No promises though.

Nope.

Not sure if it's worth making another widescreen fix. TG13's looks just fine.

 

I was just asking this because it would be in one single .asi and people wouldn't have to have seperate ones. But okay.

[Dani5ooo 36]

The colors are for better explanation.

Blue: PlayStation 2 original
Yellow: PC original
Brown: PC original with SilentPatch. Shadow from the font is looking like in the PS2 version.
Cyan: ThirteenAG's widescreen fix. A bit more shadow than on the yellow one.
Purple: ThirteenAG's widescreen fix with SilentPatch. With ThirteenAG's widescreen fix

and SilentPatch there is too much shadow behind the font, if you compare it with the brown one.

Same problem with Vice City.

@SilentPL, can you release an extra version for ThirteenAG's widescreen fix?

I think that's actually up to widescreen fix and not me, I did not change internal shadows size (just corrected the code).

That's why all in one fixes are bad. I guess i'll have to release a fix for a fix, to make it work with widescreen fix? I'll see what i can do, but no idea when.

AIO fixes by the same author are great, because he/she will make sure they are compatible before release more than likely

 

Happy New Year to all.

Yo' dawg, I've heard you like fixes, so we put a fix in your fixed fix.

Awesome patch, I'm going to try it out as soon as I can. And by the way, glows under pickups were featured in Xbox mod since update 2 which was released more than a year ago
