After I downgraded my complete edition to 1.0.4.0 using the razor1911 crack the camera was farther away from Niko, before downgrading to 1.0.4.0 Niko would be closer to the camera.

Either try to downgrade again or download the offline version

So my original problem (1.0.7.0 download error, same as @Tavo G) solved itself, but the Downgrader just doesn't work on ANY version.

 

No matter which version i pick, no matter if i use the PlayGTA.exe or launch through Steam, no matter if i use the Online or Offline Downgrader, it always ends with a black screen on startup. It always gets stuck at around ~490mb of memory (in the Task Manager). I guess the game is just broken for now.

 

 

Update: lol i fixed it.

 

Set GTAIV.exe and PlayGTAIV.exe to run as administrator and disable fullscreen optimizations (under Right click -> Properties-> Compatibility) and in Change high DPI settings set performed by: Application. Now go to %APPDATA%\Local\Rockstar Games and delete the GTA IV folder (I think this is the step that actually fixed it, the folder contains your savegames, the games cache, and its settings). Just make sure not to alt-tab while the game is starting or it will crash and you can delete the AppData folder again, to fix this set DoNotPauseOnMinimize to 1 in ZolikaPatch.ini (located in the games plugins folder).

 

I sat here ALL DAY trying to figure this out and just fixed it by accident...

Hey, I tried to use the downgrader, but I get this error: System.Exception: An error occured while trying to retrieve downgrading info.
System.Net.WebException: The request was aborted: Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel.

I even tried it in Admin mode just for kicks and it showed the error

Is there any fix for downgraded FPS being cut in half? EDIT 04/16/2022: Testing, I found that the framerate drop in benchmark test was caused by FusionFix.ini default setting CutsceneFpsLimit = 60, setting to 0 disables it.

 

1.2.0.43 (RGL, no mods)

Switch to 1080

 

Turns out it was FusionFix.ini parameter CutsceneFpsLimit = 60 causing the benchmark framerate drop. Not happening if set to 0.

Hi! I have a problem. I have followed the steps, but when I start the game on steam and the loading screen ends to play, it takes me out of the game

Yesterday I used version 1.1 and it worked fine. I tried to downgrade to 1.0.7.0 today with 1.1.1 and it fails every time when it starts the radio downgrade

 

edit: Same issue when trying to use version 1.1 again

 

edit 2: Issue is SneedsRadioDowngrader.zip. I can't open it and neither can the downgrader

Fresh install from RGL, launched and loaded once completely vanilla, copy it all to a new folder, Online downgrader gives me a warning: MD5 hash of version 1.2.0.43 does not match the expected MD5 Hash. I tried continuing and it crashed on radio downgrade so I tried to start fresh again, skip radio downgrade, and now it fails on the downgrade itself.

Hey man, when I used the IV Downgrader, selected all the mods I wanted to install along with the Radio Downgrader (New Vladivostok + Old Vladivostok) along with the Commandline.txt and no other mods and plugins/scripts installed, it worked.

One problem though, when I clicked PlayGTAIV.exe or GTAIV.exe without any shortcuts, the game wouldn't start.

Any fix for this?

Edited by Half-Matthew 3 Confirmed
It includes the commandline also.

I'm also having issues. I've tried 3 fresh installs over the last few days and running out of patience :(

 

Followed the instructions from https://youtu.be/ObvIv5Q-8zU, used the latest offline downgrader to downgrade to 10.70. Selected all mods, ran the game in admin however as soon as the loading screen tries to load the second image it crashes.

I did as you said, but the game when clicking either PlayGTAIV.exe or GTAIV.exe will just show a black screen and then exits me out 2 seconds later to the same screen. I think there is some issues with the 1.0.4.0 Downgrader.

This is probably a long shot but since the Steam Deck also suffers from the issue of not being able to save offline is there a way we can downgrade the SteamOS version ?

I SOLVED THE ISSUE!

If you are downgrading to 1.0.4.0, DELETE THE PLUIGNS FOLDER! This will make your game work without it crashing.

After downgrading to either 1070 or 1080 version Night Shadows option doesn't work though it does decrease performance, how do I fix it? These night shadows work perfectly with vanilla Steam Complete Edition..

Spoiler

Might be worth mentioning after downgrading the game said I have 367 vmem avaliable and night shadows option was unavailable (grey) and only -availablevidmem 10 command line option helped to unlock the option and have 1968 mb avaliable (i actually have 8GB GPU)

Try setting night shadows to medium and see if a pedestrian casts shadows. You can set -availablevidmem to the actual MB of available video memory that you can look by running dxdiag or just put in 4096 since you probably can't even make this game use that much.

The online downgrader doesn't work at the moment, use the offline one.

I have to ask, does this mod make the GTA IV and EFLC soundtracks separate, and does it restore the songs that were cut from the game (like most of those on Vladivostok FM)?

It has more or less every option for restoring cut songs: choose to combine all radio stations in all three stories, choose whether to add the three exclusive stations from EFLC or not, choose which version of Vladivostok FM to have (or have all combined), and choose whether or not to apply a "no EFLC music in IV fix". I guess that "fix" keeps EFLC music out of IV but I don't know if it keeps IV music out of EFLC. I wouldn't call it a fix because Rockstar always intended for all the songs to be combined, it was only ever separate in EFLC because of licensing and DVD capacity and now it's all combined in the digital Complete Edition (except for the cut songs).
