JeffersonCJ Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 As the title said. It's bad optimized and after seven patches it's still not close to be a good game. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763488-is-gta-iv-for-pc-abandoned/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEWhite Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Yup. They don't even patch it for consoles anymore (apart from that PS3 patch last year). Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763488-is-gta-iv-for-pc-abandoned/#findComment-1066873909 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naroon Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yep it's abandoned. Even the PS3 patch was only to move the multiplayer servers from Gamespy (defunct) to PSN's servers.

NTAuthority Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 ... why would patches massively change the game at all? Even more so, what would still need patching? The game works fine, and the 'optimization' can not be changed without completely remaking the world or using Mantle/D3D12/NV_command_list.

Naroon Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 I wouldn't expect any patches to do much (besides patching bugs that still never got patched), but the patch that they'd actually be given kudos for doing is replacing Ebola For Windows Live with RGSC or something for the multiplayer servers. Sure everyone would have to start over on their characters, but it's not like you actually unlock anything besides new clothing options anyway. EFWL is an abysmal, broken mess of a system.

gunziness Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 The game doest need any fixes or patches IMO, it works well (at least for me). the last fixes it needed (including EFLC) were all sorted out in the last update. lol232 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/763488-is-gta-iv-for-pc-abandoned/#findComment-1066878466 Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just means that we don't care about the issues you're/others are experiencing, tough sh*t. The game works fine for me, I would say the game needs that one last patch, but it's alright.

marmoo Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Game is now old and has been patched to the hilt.

Ah, so since the game works fine for you, that means no one else experiencing issues is relevant.Well what can I tell you, like I said, the game works fine for me (could be better optimized though but I believe that couldnt be fixed with just a patch). I cant speak for the rest of the people because I dont know how the game works for the majority of them, no one does, so doing it would be selfish on my part, hence I said 'IMO'.

turbocharger Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 IV is 7 years old. Would you also expect patches for SA? Maybe GTA II as well. Hey, GTA 2 is awesome. The only patch it ever needed was Windows 7/Vista/XP fix, so you can play it on newer systems.

Vice City criminal Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 (edited) Not-technically speaking you could say it's a good game if you have the right PC to play it. but going by the other side of the spectrum it is really a bad port that R* never gave a proper optimization or maybe really never cared much about.

A silly question: It is possible to disable GTA4's physics engine and if disable it will have any difference in game performance? You can disable euphoria, however it does not give any FPS boost at all. I think it's a matter of how the objects/map is loaded, because if you mod your game with some lower quality map (such as San Andreas map) the FPS is ridiculously higher.
