Zolika1351 950 Posted May 22 (edited) 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 Disable remote teleporting and remote weapon removal in MP Make SuperLOD usable as a ped model Remove GFWL savegame CRC check Fix kickbug because of PCIDs matching Fixed Group Hack and Freeze Gun crashes Fixed Blackscreen crash (one of the ones that Modna has) Removed signature check from .sco files Increase PtrNode limit to prevent random crashing with a lot of objects spawned Fixed scratches and bullet holes not appearing on certain TBoGT or modded cars Fixed standing still animation for bikes during a phone call (patch 5 and up only) Removed limit of 4 liveries for cars Support for all APC features, explosive shotgun and explosive sniper for IV and TLAD Removed gradual light intensity change for lampposts and building windows, instead instantly toggling along with their actual light source at 6:45 and 19:15 Added a vehicles.ide flag for Hakumai's popup headlights (+popuplights) Added customizable popup headlight open angle Fixed random crash when flying planes Increase car models limit from 205 to 1024 Fix certain instances of SMPA60 Option to remove IV's error messages so one can get actual crash dumps instead (or have the game continue running if it was a non-fatal error) Fixed crash message/crash character crash method (one of the ones that Modna has) Re-enable car shadows in Booth Tunnel, helicopter spotlights and lampposts Fixed reverse lights being cast in the middle of the car's hood Fixed some objects (e.g. bollards) not casting shadows Option to force all lights to cast shadows (e.g. hotdog stands, some of the Booth Tunnel lights) Remove static car shadows from all cars Enable night shadows for buildings and other static objects Remove the draw distance from static vehicle shadows Make both car headlights have individual lights instead of one combined one More accurate MP sync when players are far away Fix crash when another player switches off Niko Potential performance boost by removing leftover nonfunctional debug code (patch 4, 7 & 8 only) TLAD-exclusive foot position fix for chopper bikes added for all episodes (patch 5+) Reflections reflecting all map objects at full quality (including objects such as benches, street lamps, etc.) Fade-in for buildings when they change LOD in 1.0.6.0+ (patches below that already had it) Fixed game speeding up over 300FPS Fixed bikes sliding more easily above ~80FPS Fixed crash when another player switches to a non-ped playermodel Fixed crash when another player spawns a car with a different than normal vehicle type 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 (V4.7) Edited November 27 by Zolika1351 added v4.7 40 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zolika1351 950 Posted May 29 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). 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fierelier 21 Posted July 29 thanks again, this is amazing, especially because of the fixed mouse acceleration and because it works with 1.0.4.0, which is my favorite version to play. you deserve a medal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marsi4eg 384 Posted August 6 (edited) 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 Edited August 6 by Marsi4eg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Edited August 6 by Marsi4eg Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
