Doing this for GTA IV causes the game to crash when selecting Independence FM.

 

Using Steam Complete Edition.

The GTA 3 downgrader only works for the RGL version I believe. Just grab a 1.0 exe. There's one for GTA 3 on the steam forums (just search up gta 3 1.0 exe steam and it should be the first link) and there's a 1.0 exe for vice city on the pcgamingwiki.

RGSC/Steam to v1

Recommended mods for these 3 games:

 

 

 

Grand Theft Auto IV: Accomplishments

1) Download

2) extract to GTA directory where GTAIV.EXE is located (except " with new vladivostok" and " without new vladivostok" folders)

3) run install.bat and wait until window disappears

4) copy "pc" folder from " with new vladivostok" (if you want old and new songs combined) or from " without new vladivostok" (if you only want pre-cut songs) to GTA folder

5) If you have the game on Rockstar Games Launcher TM go to "Settings" -> installed games "Grand Theft Auto IV" and paste "-scOfflineOnly" into Launch Arguments (Note: you must run game at least once from RGL completely unmodded), also disable automatic updates

6) Launch via Steam or Rockstar Games Launcher

(Launching from GTAIV.exe will cause game to redownload modified files on RGL!)

Note1: Since merging DLCs (TLAD and TBoGT) with main game, all songs are now combined. This was the case even before The Complete Edition, if you have bought these DLCs via GFWL marketplace. There is no way to disable TBoGT Vladivostok songs on IV and vice versa without any additional modifications!

GTA3/VC steam downgrader?
Just get 1.0 exe :D

 

Hey man, after downgrading 1.01, there's 2 .exe's in my directory : gta_sa and gta-sa.

Which one I should run the game with? 

I'm not sure if I'm using steam or Rockstar Games Launcher (I got it from CD) 

Edit ; Game crashes in the middle of loading !

why do you need to downgrade 1.1 version? Just install clean version from cd and dont patch it.

Are the radio stations in GTA IV worth downgrading anymore? 

I can't start the game on rgl with the downgraded ones as it forces me to redownload modified files. 

I don't know if the same happens on Steam.

Same thing does *not* happen on steam as long as you launch with your desktop shortcut of GTA IV, 99% of the time it wont bother your mods. But yeah, RGL is a nightmare. I literally bought it on steam when it was on sale a month or so into owning it because i couldnt emotionally deal with RGL anymore lmao

I actually had it on my physical edition, Disc 1 started to rot because of its terrible latin american packaging and now I can't install it anymore.

it would be nice if rockstar supported modded games on rgl especially when they are SP only. You cant do much about it, maybe find some workaround, get steam version or pray for OpenIV team to add same mods folder support for IV like they did for V (althought i wouldnt count on this as they have full hands with getting RPF modification running on RDR2)

I used it and it works as it should be. Thank you. I'm keeping this version. It cost me 1300 ARS converted to USD...

What happens if you use the steam launcher?

desktop shortcut should just be same as launching game from steam

 

technically there shouldnt be any issues with steam version, unless rockstar decides to update the game, which i doubt now :D

When I try SkyGFX, it doesn't work correctly. the PS2 color filter isn't there. should i rename my gta-sa.exe to gta_sa.exe to make it work or something? (FYI, I downgraded the Steam version incase that helps.)

I use Slient's ASI Loader. It was recommended to me by someone in the SkyGFX forums. Should I use Ultimate ASI Loader instead? I used SkyGFX via Modloader and since they told me it was fully compatible with modloader.  I use it like that.  I don't know how to post a picture of my folder structure sadly, but I can tell you the mods I use. Both Cleo and Modloader, just in case that can help

 

The Mods I have:

SlientPatch

13AG Widescreen Fix

Remastered GUI

CLEO

Cleo Cheat Menu (I know, I'm a noob, don't judge me)

Car Immunities (Again, I'm a noob)

GInput

Project 2DFX

Cutscene Characters

Enterable Hidden Interiors  

Draw Distance Mod (from the GTA Series Videos GTA SA Full Game video)

HD Weapon Icons

Fixed Facial Animations 

HQ SA Map

Lively Peds

Map Textures Fix

Mobile Hands

SA Beta Weapons

i prefer ual over silent's asi loader as ual should be derivation from silents work thus improved

as for folder structure, just open your game folder with any explorer, then press alt + printscreen, go to imgur.com and do ctrl + v there (aka pasting it) and then link the picture here :)

does any other mod you installed work correctly? if yes, why not just try moving skygfx out of modloader folder to where exe is like other asi mods

Yes, All the other mods work. SlientPatch, Widescreen Fix, Project 2DFX,Cleo, and Ginput are where the exe is located. Car Immunities and Cheat Menu are in the cleo folder. the rest of the mods are in modloader. i did put SkyGFX in both Modloader and where the gta-sa.exe is located but the ps2 sky/color filter isn't working. am I'm doing something wrong? or do i need to config something with SkyGFX? I don't have a PS2 timecycle file/mod so maybe I need that, but I don't know why it doesn't look like the PS2 version. 

 

This is how the mod looks to me: http://gta.rockstarvision.com/skygfx/screenshots/sa/none_radiosity2.png

I got it working. Turns out I needed a PS2 timecyc.dat file and when I put it into the SkyGFX folder with Modloader, it works fine now. Thank you for your help though.

Calm down, motherf*cker! What game are you trying to downgrade? Did you installed any mods before downgrading? Are you sure, that you did everything right? If you aren't sure and game is GTA SA, then try again with this tutorial

Is this way of downgrading legal if you already own the steam version (for gta sa)?

Any idea how to get this to work with SA-MP? It requires gta_sa.exe but I only have gta-sa.exe and gta-sa-steam.exe . Should I make a copy of gta-sa.exe and rename it?
