Released v1.2, I've grouped all the previously auto applied fixes to an ini option called MiscFixes and vastly improved a shader-related function that had a YandereDev level of string compares in it (changed it from 53 string compares to 3 char compares, this'll impact stutters and loading times).

This plugin has been floating around for a while now but I never actually properly released it, it aims to fix & improve various things in GTA IV, such as removing the mod-only lobby seperation from 1.0.7.0, fixing VRAM issues on patch 7 and below, and removing the requirement to log into Social Club to play Multiplayer.

The name totally not a ripoff of silentpatch that I have wanted to change already but couldn't come up with anything better

 

Changes/options:

Remove Social Club login requirement so you can play MP even if you skip login on patch 4 and below, or use Play Offline on patch 7

Ability to use a (non-SecuROM as that checks the name outside of IV) launcher renamed to PlayGTAIV so you can launch patch 7 or 8 through Steam

Remove mod checks from 1.0.7.0 to allow you to see and join 1.0.8.0 lobbies

Remove mod checks from 1.0.4.0 to allow you to access Multiplayer

Remove sleep calls from loading to potentially decrease load times

Skip intro & menu

Fix mouse deadzone

Remove pausing if the game window's not in focus

Borderless windowed mode

Fix for VRAM issues above 2GB on patch 7 and below

Remove "update or sign out of LIVE" popup for GFWL when running patch 5 and below, making Multiplayer possible on all pre-patch 6 versions

Reduced loading times and stuttering (might not be too noticeable though)

Fixed VSync locking to a lower FPS than your refresh rate on Patch 7 and below

 

Supported versions:

1.0.8.0 (both downgraded from Steam and the original depot)

1.0.7.0

1.0.4.0

1.0.0.0

Other patches aren't fully supported but most features should work (Except on Steam/RGL CE. Nothing works on Steam/RGL CE.)

 

 

DOWNLOAD HERE (V1.3)

this is supposed to go into the root folder right ?

Released v2.2 to fix even more crashing with lots of objects spawned (e.g. my previous fix still wasn't enough for High Flier to work)

I've recently downgraded from patch 8 - 1.0.8.0 (equal to 1.0.7.1 rus) to patch 4 - 1.0.4.0 (equal to 1.0.3.1 rus) and noticed great performance boost even on high-end pc.

Biggest problems of 1.0.8.0 were stuttering while rotating camera (probably new shadows not loading as quick as they should) and some lighting bugs that were mentioned in FusionFix.

1.0.4.0 is completely smooth, no any stuttering there.

 

I also use this great plugin to disable necessary SC login and to disable forced GFWL update to have access to MP.

Everything is fine but there's an odd thing with achievements list. 1.0.4.0 doesn't have support for EFLC achievements, so the game v 1.0.4.0 shows only 50 achievements in the list.

While I have unlocked 63, it shows me like "63 of 50 unlocked". I'm going to complete that two achievements using 1.0.4.0 but I'm afraid if the game won't handle them properly.

 

@Zolika1351 maybe you could fix achievements list for 1.0.4.0 with this plugin so it could show full list of 65? Thx

It's probably just a purely visual issue, also you can't play with patch 6+ players if you're using patch 4 so I'd recommend upgrading or keeping a patch 6, 7 or 8 copy if you actually want to find people

I'm still afraid if those new achievements won't be properly uploaded to Live profile/will break local profile files. Who knows how it can behave when it tries to save 64th achievement of 50. Especially the multiplayer ones that depend on global stats.

But anyway thanks for the answer. I have patch 8 folder stored too.

Just curious, is it possible to force main menu page to show online Social Club status in 1.0.4.0 (SC logo "plugged in")?

I changed textures, and it says now logged. I did this for 1.0.8.0 but you can try on older version aswell.

Original post:

Spoiler

New version doesn't work on an XLiveless game, old version link.

 

I made a mistake

 

Do not use options NewMemorySystem and SkipIntro as they can cause instability. As an alternative to SkipIntro, use this:
