IV Released FusionFix

[lolleroz]

did anyone come across a bug where vehicle crash sounds dont play anymore on TLAD?  on complete edition. Any ideas why/whats causing it?

[MiesThies]

@lolleroz

I have the exact same problem, but I don't know how to fix it. I'm on TLAD Complete Edition as well, no other mods than fusion fix. Sometimes the vehicle has no sound, but after a few minutes of driving the engine sound returns out of nowhere.

for me reloading a save seems to 'fix' missing vehicle sounds  but my crashing sounds (like when you drive into another car) dont play at all.

 

could you confirm if vehicle crashing sounds are playing for you? I just loaded my IV save and they play fine when playing IV... it doesnt bother me that much in TLAD but it'd be a disaster if it also happens in TBOGT, have yet to test

I played through all 3 episodes on complete edition and did not notice this.

 

Although, I was using an older version of FusionFix that didn't have RIL.Budgeted included. Try disabling that by setting the values in the ini to 0. It really shouldn't be enabled by default in the first place, the silent vehicle bug is really annoying.

[lolleroz]

Just tested that, sadly no difference still. Gonna remove the asi and see if its fusionfix causing it at all cause I feel like its a Complete edition issue.

 

edit: yep looks like its a complete edition issue, only happens in TLAD, IV and TBOGT are fine.

oh ye, it's ril.budgeted,

ThirteenAG already "updated" ini to comment out ril.budgeted.

just comment it out like pic related in blue selection

[lolleroz]

The issue persists for me even on new game with fusionfix asi disabled.... weird

I think this bug came with Complete Edition and i had it too. 

 

Lets hope rockstar brings another update to fix the things they broke recently (for example VRAM-bug and TBoGT-menu-music)

More like they would update TLAD and screw its pause menu music too.

Thank You @ThirteenAG, @nkjellman, @El Dorado, and countless others I didn't mention, for the fixes. True Champs!! And also @GTAVI(CE) for compiling it all under one roof.

All of you gave some time of yours doing all this work so the community could save theirs. Personally made me very happy. I got only words but still, a Big Thanks. Niko might not approve but y'all my Cajin

BTW, did you know that you can delete 1.813 unused files in your GTA IV installation directory?

 

In the past Rockstar integrated all "carrec***.rrr" files with an patch in data/cdimages/carrec.img but forgot(?) to remove all unpacked files. 

 

@GTAVI(CE) Is this safe? You make good sense but a confirmation would be appreciated.

Also, do you still recommend not to use 'ColAccel'? I have an Nvidia GPU and could test it out for the Green Team , if you could point out specific areas in the city where you experienced bugs. Cheers.

[zanesix]

@dovaahkiin why dont you just try it until it causes problems and then remove it instead of asking some random person who made a modpack? It's just an asi mod, all you have to do is delete it and its gone. chances are its just his problem.

Yes it's safe 100%. If files would be missing, the game wouldn't start.

 

Here you can see screenshots where ColAccel caused problems for me:

First, can you tell us what's your gta  IV version? Which version of fusion fix that you use?

1.0.8.0, Disc Version

Latest Fusion Version

[zanesix]

@MauriceGS Latest version isn't compatible with patch 8 because its stupid, use the old version.

Deleting those files didn't cause a problem. Damn 1,813 of useless files in a R* product, Devs got my respect for all they do but this oversight is real amusing XD

Game's working like butter thanx to all those fixes. I tested ColAccel on my Nvidia rig and everything works perfect no texture glitch or graphical bug, even in your mentioned locations. So I guess it's an AMD problem, maybe.

ColAccel saved me around 5-7 seconds on SSD. Not much but combined with the intro n menu skip, it made an already quick load, almost instant

I created an all-in-one bugfix package!

 

V1.4.2 - this package includes:

 

- FusionFix by El Dorado
- Graphical Bug Fixes v1.2 + EFLC PC Quality Texture Update v0.1 by nkjellman
- IV Fixes & Improvements v3.0 by Zolika1351
- Fixed water shaders for AMD-Radeon users
- Extend Vid Mem by colistro123
- Rancher Collision Model Fix by Phenom FX
- Karin Sultan Trunk Fix by jacell-

- optimized stream.ini, mirror-fix, more visible rain-drop-textures by me

Bonus:

- Colored Weapon HUD, Colored Radio HUD & Nicer HUD/Blips

 

Just drag & drop to your GTAIV-folder

 

GTA IV VanillaFixes - V1.4.2

 

If you don't mind me asking, are you also going to include:

• Grand Theft Auto IV and Episode Form Liberty City: Characters Fixes by TheYoshiPunch
• Player Outfit Texture Fixes by B-Dawg (just for the NOOSE officers)
• TBoGT APC Light Fix by Phenom FX
• Left Shift Sprint Fix by luluco250
• Fixed Combat Shotgun Icon by DavSte
• GTA IV Complete Edition Radio Downgrader (RGL/Steam) by Sam Lake

And maybe include 6135's Luis's Bag Texture, Helmet Reflections, and Johnny's Shoe Texture Fixes as an option?

 

Also, considering that modpacks aren't allowed in this forum, perhaps you can promote your modpack over at the Steam community guides, as users over there will eat that stuff up just to patch their games quickly.

[zanesix]

or... he could just stop because one update to any of those mods would just invalidate the entire modpack and its probably easier to find everything seperately at this point.

 

I mean, look at the stuff he has in there already... Sultan trunk fix? Really? hes already gotten carried away imo.

[GTAVI(CE)]

Could you please stop speculating?

 

if there is an update, i will update the pack too.

 

Nobody forces you to use it - you can still download all fixes seperately and include the single textures-fixes in all the .img-files by yourself (in the right order) which is quite a bit of work.

 

@ICameForTheMods APC light mod is already included in FusionFix i think

 

See on page 1 post 1 „DLC car lights fix“

@GTAVI(CE) I moved from version 1.4 to 1.4.2 and now I have the yellow taxi bug, did something change?

Edited May 6, 2020 by ceaton88

[zanesix]

^ this is exactly my point. If people installed mods separately, they would be able to better troubleshoot why and not harass devs as much, lol.

@zanesix what is the harm in asking what changes there were from 1.4 to 1.4.2 hahaha you're so miserable!

[zanesix]

When did I ever say you were the problem? he's not a dev.

 

also fyi, the taxi bug is a random occurrence that can happen even on a clean game. The only way to get rid of it for sure is to use RIL.Budgeted (included in the newest version of FusionFix, you just have to enable it), but that has it's own issues (missing vehicles sounds).

Thats helpful thank you. Interestingly the budget commands were changed in the last 2 weeks, I wonder if it has anything to do with it

[zanesix]

@ceaton88 no, it doesn't (unless if big super sultan trunk fix +more pack used an older fusionfix version). All that they did was comment out RIL.Budgeted by default because of that bug I mentioned. 

Edited May 6, 2020 by zanesix

[ceaton88]

Oh ok, so they have decided to remove the taxi bug fix in favour of vehicle sounds, thanks for explaining, I'll keep an eye out for further developments

[GTAVI(CE)]

Are you using stock vehicles.img or modded one?

 

i dont have taxi bug.

 

@zanesix

 

Stop making silly comments about people that created bugfixes. Like the trunk fix.

 

Also small fixes are worth it and better than nothing.
