GTA IV downgrader doesn't work. After I applied the Downgrade, i want to start the game via Rockstar Launcher as explained but then it want to make an update first. Automatic updates are disabled and I added -scOfflineOnly to start parameters as well.

this downgrader doesnt contain a single file from any gta game, it makes all files based on binary difference from steam/rgl files

This downgrader refuses to work with samp. Everytime I open, it instantly crashes. I already renamed it to gta_sa, tried using ultimate asi loader and silents asi loader, even tried it without any modifications at all. I have literally tried every basic possibility. I have SA on steam already as well. Anyone got an idea on how to get samp to work? This is the error code I receive:

I'm having a bit of an issue with IV and I feel like this is the most fitting place to post. Personally, I'm totally fine with Complete Edition, except for the soundtrack, so I always restore it by taking the audio folders from IV 1.0.7.0 and EFLC 1.1.2.0 and putting them into the CE folder for the base game and the episodes, and it always worked wonders. Recently I felt like replaying the story and came across an issue where the game cannot load it's own saves. Like, it saves seemingly successfully, the save shows up on the list, last mission name and all, but it always fails loading. If I download a save from the internet, it loads properly, and if I restore the cut audio, the game starts saving properly too. Tested and confirmed on two PCs running Windows 7 and 10. Basically, is there a way to restore the soundtrack on CE 1.2.0.43? Even if it means losing EFLC-exclusive stations, I don't really care about them anyway. I thought that maybe going back to 1.2.0.32, which was before R* readded Ram Jam FM, Self-Actualization FM, and Vice City FM, might solve the issue, but then the game cannot log into Social Club and therefore save.

 

Terribly sorry, it appears that the downgrade in the opening post actually restores the radio and not downgrade the whole game? Gonna try it out. Maybe I shouldn't have written that wall of text.

Hey there,

 

first of all Thank u so much for this Downgrader for GTAIV. I just have a lil Problem i tried using this on my GTA IV CD Copy to have the old and new Vladivostok songs but now my game crashes when changing the radio station. What could be the cause?

this is not meant for dvd copy. having eflc songs and new vladivostok songs combined with old one would require a new mod for a DVD copy

Hey I installed this for San Andreas on RGL and it doesn't work for me. I opened the install.bat file, the windows pops up for a few seconds, closes itself and nothing changes. no gta-sa.exe appears. Just the gta_sa.exe remains and the .bat file also stays

How'd you fix it? I seem to have the same problem and I don't know what causes it, I've ran it as admin, re-downloaded the game and still nothing

Right Click your GTA SA Folder, click 'Properties', go on the 'Security' tab, click 'Edit...' , tick 'Full Control', click 'Apply' then 'OK'. After that it should work.

Hi, can anyone post a no radio commercials mod for gta 4 complete edition, before and after downgrading

so we don't have to do it ourselves. It took me more than a hour or something to remove commercials.

I no longer have the blank audio file to use, deleted 3 months ago.

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!

For LCHC (EFLC), one song is missing: Drive By Audio - Jailbait.

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

Download LINK

Firstly I want to thank you very much for these downgraders, they worked wonders for my Steam and retail copy of San Andreas, and second I can also confirm that it does work with the v2 retail releases of the game. I have the original Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy compilation of the game which used the Second Edition of San Andreas and the v2 to v1 Downgrader worked on it.

I'd really appreciate if you added download links to the OP for the 1.0 exe's if we had to downgrade a Steam copy, i've been going crazy trying to find a download for a gta 3 1.0 exe just to find only google drive links that suddenly need me to ask for permission to download (this has been a pain in the ass when I tried to patch other games as well) so i'd really appreciate you uploading it to Mega. I apologize if there has been a download link somewhere in the thread.

The 1.0 exes aren't included because it's against forum rules to upload straight game files.
