Read the OP post better; the image just broke. But here:

 

RGSC/Steam to v1

1) Download

2) extract to GTA directory

3) run install.bat and wait untill window disappears

4) It's recommended to install SilentPatch to get rid of compatibility issues like mouse not working.

5) Launch via GTA-sa.exe and not RGSC launcher, or via Steam

Download LINK

 

v2 to v1 (not exactly tested :O )

1) Download

2) extract to GTA directory

3) run install.bat and wait untill window disappears

4) It's recommended to install SilentPatch to get rid of compatibility issues like mouse not working.

5) Launch via GTA-sa.exe

I only ever owned GTA IV and EFLC on steam. Before the update that combined them into one game came out, it worked like this: When I launched GTA IV, it only included the original soundtrack and radio stations with none of the stuff from EFLC, whereas launching EFLC would have all of the new radio stations as well as the new two-part program on Vladivostok. I know reverting to this state isn't what your downgrader does. What I want to ask is, is it possible to revert the game to this state and if so, are there any mods or patches that do it?

[Open Source] DownpatchIV - Downgrade the Steam Complete Edition to 1.0.0.0/1.1.0.0 - Other - GTAForums

 

you gotta patch it to patch 1.7/8 and 1.1.1.2/3 and get official securom nocd exes and xlive i guess.

Well, kudos to Rockstar for shoving Bahama Mamas's songs into an already-existing radio station, ruining its essence in the progress, rather than just creating a new station for it.

 

Are you sure there isn't a way to change the audio file to the original Vladivostok, then change it to the EFLC one when I play EFLC? Manually, I mean. Couldn't I do that?

If you want to play without the additions to vladivostok, the only way is to tell the game to not play any of the TBOGT music on the radio (but they will still play in interiors, k109 additions in hercules, vladivostok additions in bahama mamas)

 

Go into your setup2.xml in the TBOGT folder in Complete Edition and remove the highlighted section here, then save.

I have the exact same problem but only when I'm trying to load my previous saves (before downgrade). When I start a new game everything works fine. Is there any way to fix those saves?

this iv downgrader only readds cut songs. no version change, for downgrading to 1.0.0.0 use [Open Source] DownpatchIV - Downgrade the Steam Complete Edition to 1.0.0.0/1.1.0.0 - Other - GTAForums

@Sneed Installed the downgrade for GTA IV (I did follow the steps btw), but RGL still wants to update the game's files. What to do?

That's exactly what I did at my first attempt to make the mod work. On the 2nd attempt, I did the same thing. Oh, and btw, I forgot to mention that I play on the 1.2.0.43 version of GTA IV: Complete Edition.

Yeah. I literally bought it a second time on steam when it was on sale because the RGL file reverification was pissing me off so much. And even then, even though i can avoid it 99% of the time, steam once forcibly updated the game for me even when using the desktop shortcut to launch, which is supposed to avoid it. It's such ass.

Musisz uruchomić RGL w trybie offline. Najlepiej jest zrobić drugi skrót do launchera i dodać we właściwościach skrótu w linii "Element docelowy" komendę -scofflineonly za cudzysłowiem po spacji. Potem musisz odpalać grę tylko i wyłączenie przez ten skrót.

for those that are confused on how to use the downgrader for GTA San Andreas, There's a part on this video that helps explain how to use it for GTA SA.

Just started thinking about this— @Sneed, at the top post in the credits, you refer to a GTAIV audio tool by Parik? What is that?

I was thinking about the combined old & new Vladivostok FM, even though I don't use it— how was that achieved? Could it clue us in into how to add new songs to stations on our own?? 😳

it's yet an unreleased tool (i myself didnt have it too :D, Parik did the conversion) which allows to convert dat15 dat16 and other audio data to editable format and back to format game uses. I only copied data missing songs from precut patch to the new CE's data, but it should be possible to add new songs once the tool is released.
