I checked the dat files, and it could be possible to do, right now no such thing exists and the dat files need some learning to understand :D

Good to know, dude. I'm pretty ok with blended radio but it would be great to have a separated version as well.

Hello, i have a problem. I downloaded your gta iv radio downgrader to get the old songs back, but when i open the game, complete a few missions, save and reopen the game, it says that the save file is not working and i have to create a new one and start the story again. What am i doing wrong?

Are you playing with the Steam version or one bought on the Rockstar Games Launcher? If you did the latter, then RGL automatically restores modified files, I believe.

Big thank you to Sam Lake and everyone that helped to get the music back in for GTA IV.

 

Now I can finally continue my 4th attempt at finishing the story after switching from Xbox to PC, losing save files from windows reinstalls, and Rockstar breaking the game, then fixing the game, then breaking the game lol.

thats vanilla issue, happens at over 50 or maybe even 30 fps

only run to this with scripthook and simple native trainer or when switching some graphics settings (i think vsync) which again vanilla issue

 

Try fusion fix

https://github.com/ThirteenAG/GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix

Yeah, that solved my problem, runs much better, and cutscenes aren't zoomed in too much and laggy as well, thanks. But I was wondering, is there a way to get rid of IV radio stations, I mean the ones that are combined together like Vladivostok FM, LRR, K109 etc. I would like to play without them and have only EFLC replaced radio ,imo, IV radio stations don't fit right in EFLC. Well, I tried the simple way, by removing them and making them as a backup of course, that worked in IV, didn't get any crashes, but trying to play tlad or tbogt, that makes my game crash for some reason, without even having a loading screen. Does It require some scripting to fix this or is there another way?

well eflc radios are in dlc's rpfs, thus removing those whole rpfs you also lose all others sounds, not only radio

 

there could be ofc edit of the dat files to remove either that or that, but currently its still not finished enough for public release, i myself always only get converted stuff from Parik

Well, if you just used Sam Lake's radio downgrader to restore songs and nothing else, I don't know why your saves stop working since it's not the executable that's being messed with (like when you downgrade the actual game version).

 

Try just playing on a clean copy (play game for a few missions, save and restart game) and see if it might be an issue on your end.

i dont think so, but thats more of a coding issue. but Vladivostok iv songs came after tbogt one. new and old (someone reported that on non downgraded iv only tbogt Vladivostok plays)

Note2: Rockstar Game launcher doesn't allow booting game with modified files no matter what. There is lame workaround that you boot game in offline mode - aka you pull out internet cable/turn off wifi and then run game, after it launches, you can connect back in the internet cable/turn on wifi and enjoy game with original soundtrack and accomplishments. It is also recommended to disable automatic updates in Rockstar Game Launcher for GTA IV

Doesn't this line in Rockstar Launcher works?

it seems that the latest IV Downgrade doesnt work properly, Vladivostok has turned into a advertisement mess , all I can hear is Advertising and one song every 10 minutes , and so far I havent been able to listen to any of the "restored" songs in any radio station , and also the pause menu music for TBoGT is all muted now

Haven't played TBoGT yet, but Vladivostok is normal on my end. You did put the downgrader on a clean copy right? And made sure to put the DAT files in after?

I have the 1.0.7.0 patch and the game crashes at some missions without a radio downgrader. And isn't 1.0.7.0 better for modding?

I watched both of these videos from JoshuaFrameTV, and the second one linked this forum and a fix that is a radio downgrader. The only problem with that fix is that it only replaces with the original GTA IV songs and not with the EFLC ones. The 3 new radios are missing.

I think it would be to start over from clean version

First apply this radio downgrader

 

Then follow the first video

I am applying this downgrade on a clean copy of IV 2020 but it seems that the reason that it didnt worked before is because the files seems to be "Read Only" , I noticed when looking at some errors that are appearing on the .bat file right now , I will re-try the downgrade later after seeing if I can untoggle the Read Only atributes on the files

Okay now my game is stuck at the disclaimer screen , any way to fix this?

Do you have FusionFix installed?

Are you playing on a Steam copy or RGL copy? RGL hates modded files and always redownloads clean copies unless you do a work around.

 

Also, either way, have you tried to launch a clean version of the game at least once before applying downgrader?

Works like a charm on the latest version of GTA IV. Finally I can listen to Glukoza - Schweine in the intro scene again. Thanks for your hard work!

Do such modifications even exist? If they do, can someone please give me a link for it?

The only way you can do that for now is disable TBOGT radio entirely. (So you'll have to sacrifice the additions to K109 the studio </3) 

 

B Dawg told me how to do this here. I personally just do this to the TLAD setup2.xml. The thing is is that you also won't hear it while playing TLAD or TBOGT, except in the interiors where that music is present, like Hercules will still play all those disco songs.

 

But I suppose it wouldn't hurt just cutting out those Vladivostok FM additions one by one yourself in OpenIV?

 

Anyways this works PERFECTLY for me. Can't tell you how happy I am to have 1979 back :inlove: PLEASE add it to the top post!!!
