wonkemonke Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) As you can see Niko casts a shadow but vehicle does not. Same thing in tunnels. Tested on different systems. Retail version has those vehicle shadows, they disapear with 1.0.3.0 patch. Wondering if anyone has figured out how to enable them? Thanks.

M0rk Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Use patch 1.0.2.0, There's car shadows and better shadows and the performance is good, imo. wonkemonke 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonkemonke Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 I've also noticed that performance is a bit better on older patches. Also would be great to enable those shadows in EFLC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rk Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 (edited) Yup, Patch 1.0.7.0 is a complete disaster No car shadows, graphical issues, bad performance,etc.. I'm hoping for some one who can fix the damn patch. Edited December 15, 2014 by Markyevansy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonkemonke Posted December 16, 2014 Author Share Posted December 16, 2014 To make it clearer, here's a video with 1.0.2.0 patch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfxjxBrQZ9U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rk Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Street lights also casts car shadows, not all of them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazlowsucksiloveslutS Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Check Graphics settings. If you have shadow quality on low or off, then of course you won't see sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86DX Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 How the hell do you downgrade to 1.0.2.0? I can only find a 1.0.4.0 downgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rk Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 (edited) http://www.gta-downloads.com/en/gta4/patches/9081-gta4-pc-official-patch-2-version-1020.html You can download the patch in the link above. If you have patch 1.0.3.0+ installed, reinstall the game and install the patch (Retail version) If you have the steam version, then you're screwed.

86DX Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 I ain't reinstalling my game just for some shadow FX. What files does it patch? Would it be possible to upload them in a .zip? Or hex edit whatever controls those shadow FX so you can re-enable them on 1.0.7.0? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rk Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) It patches the shader file and some files on common/data i think. You should backup the files first. Edited December 18, 2014 by MarkyEvansy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86DX Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 It patches the shader file and some files on common/data i think. You should backup the files first. Alright, will do. Can you zip those files up and PM me them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rk Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Which files the 1.0.7.0 one or the 1.0.2.0 one? BTW there's a chance that your game will crash at startup because the files might not be compatible or smth.

86DX Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 (edited) Nah, the 1.0.2.0 one. I backed my stuff up just in case it crashes. Edited December 18, 2014 by RM76 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M0rk Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 Dammit, I have patch 1.0.4.0 installed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wonkemonke Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 I don't recommend downgrading 1.0.7.0 version. There's been a lot of changes. And replacing shaders won't do much. It's all about executable. I tried to memory-hack some values but game just crashes. I think it's impossible to found the right data through hex.
