IV Song Removal Due to Licenses expiring.


Recommended Posts

EpsilonProgram

Again GTA IV and EFLC discs on an Xbox 360 console are not affected by this. I just tested both again and no update and soundtrack still the same. I assume PS3 discs are the same. I can't tell if Xbox 360 downloads or PSN downloads are affected, I assume no. Is probably new digital copies being sold as of today on these stores. A buddy of mine just tested his PC DVD and it was not updated either. So far the Xbox One version and Steam are the updated ones.

Untested downgrader (since my IV is broken, it black screened after logos even before update)

Over writes the updated gxts and dat files with the old one, binary patches the radio RPFs to old one. Doesnt touch the paul.dll (launcher?), since it should do much difference.

Just extract to your IV folder and run intall.bat

 

Please any feedback.

 

Finally got all GTAs to work, and checked the radio myself. It just works :D

IV radio "downgrader"

EFLC radio "downgrader"

 

Just unpack to your IV or EFLC root directory and run the install.bat, wait till the command line disappears and play!

 

ZIT works normally after downgrade?

yes. this rollbacks all files (excluding paul.dll and lang.ini) back to prepatch form

So many good songs gone :( I have both GTA IV & EFLC on disc(PS3) so I will definitely not update them whenever it shows up. Does the update applies to disc and digital? I did put in my GTA IV disc and nothing popped up.

Not my video: All rights goes to youtuber Gravarty

On my Xbox 360 disc nothing popped up while I was loading in, I still had the original soundtrack when I loaded in I was pretty happy. I’ve since disconnected my 360 from the internet to make sure that update never shows up!

You are doing god's work, thank you.

 

Seriously, they removed "Run To The Hills", "Heaven And Hell" and "Call From The Grave"? Yeah, no. I'm keeping those.

Thank god for you George,you're only family I have left.

This means you are lucky enough to save your 6 GB data instead of wasting them for 11 replaced songs, and a lovely addition of -1 to the Vladivostok FM.

So they removed lots of songs and couldn't even be bothered to make some big improvements or bug fixes to compensate for it? guess I'll keep on 1.0.7.

Oh, and good job Rockstar, you're officially worse than EA.

They removed the three best songs on there? What the hell?

The amount they replaced compared to what they removed is f*cking disgusting. Good to know they're putting that GTAonline money to good use.

 

I guess I'll just never play online on console again, I refuse to update my game and remove some of those songs.

I hope AlgonquinAssassin knows about this update. He hasn't been active lately and we all know his love for IV. This crap would probably hit him hard.

If GTA IV were on gog, none of this would matter

GTA 4 would've met the same fate/update as on Steam or would be pulled off completely. Look at Mafia on GOG which has ALL THE LICENSED SONGS removed. Or Mafia II which has some songs removed.

Or Codemasters games like GRID, CMR Rally 2005, TOCA 3 which were completely pulled off from GOG due to some licenses expirations.

Or Alan Wake got removed over the music you'd think was created specifically for the game.

Are the songs (specifically not heard on radio stations removed from the Strip Clubs during a private dance?

 

Rick James - "Come Into My Life"

Goldfrapp - "Ooh La La"

Mystikal - "Shake Ya Ass"

Not related to audio, but fwiw Rockstar added these strings too.

Strip Club Music is fine.

Still no graphical bug fixes or AMD water bug fix. These lazy idiots would just need to add the fixed files listed in the linked post below to their "patch".

Steam also still downloads the unnecessary 1.813 (!!!) "carrec*.rrr" files in paths folder. You can delete them since they are all included in "carrec.img" (since Patch 1 or so)

 

Game startup takes horribly long as others already mentioned. And what the heck is this? Wasn't before.

Seems they completely broke the text files. I did a comparison of the German text file - a ton of stuff got either added, removed, or changed.

 

They removed the strings for the Anisotropic Filtering options.

Also this weird change:

Is it me or have they copy pasted the console text files onto the PC version and called it a day?
