Please, can you update pre-ivce to include the mouse fix when you are not aiming, like in this commit, but for 1.0.8.0 version?

There are still people who use version 1.0.8.0 to get rid of the new RGSC Launcher and we want to enjoy these small improvements as well! Thank you

Hello,

I've installed GTA IV and Fusionfix to test the deadzone fix (which works) but before installing fusionfix i had the sensitivity in the settings at its lowest and the sensitivity was manageable.

After using Fusionfix, the sensitivity skyrocketed even though it's still unchanged in the settings. Disabling mousefix, gives back the low sensitivity.

It's a pity because now it's either "you get crazy sensitivity but proper aim without deadzone" OR "good sensitivity but deadzone when aiming"

Is there any solution to this ?
I would appreciate any infos, thanks.

The mod works fine, until, I go to that location where I marked in the map, the game just constantly crashes, no errors, no nothing, just takes me straight to desktop. I don't know why is that happening, but maybe you know how to deal with this?

Here's the location where I marked it:

While the mouse fix works great on foot and only while aiming down sights, it doesn't work while moving the camera on foot (without aiming), nor does it work while aiming in a vehicle, which makes shooting out drivers almost impossible.

Is this expected or is there something broken? Using the latest RGSL Complete Edition.

;VehicleBudget=120000000
;PedBudget=150000000

Trying to make sure I'm not overloading my cpu in case these values are set too high.

Hi,

I downloaded and followed the install instruction, but it seem to have done nothing. When I extracted the fusion fix, I had it replace any existing files. This was a fresh/first install of the game, through stream and so through the Rock* launcher, with no back version mods or work arounds. When I click on the Fusion fix disc image in the common folder it says it is corrupted and appear to come that way from the Download. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you
David

Maybe Fusion Fix uses the same way to conduct, i really want this problem solved.

Hey,

I must be missing something really obvious, but RGL just overwrites the files from this mod the next time I open it to launch the game. How do I stop that from happening? Version 1.2.0.43

I have set the aim zoom fix option to 1. It works correctly until I zoom in once, that it always zooms in by default even if I have stopped aiming unzommed

There is a piece of a building on the rails near hove beach that shouldn't be there

The only mods that I got installed are:
-Asi loader
-Fusion fix
-ColAccel
-Custom Timecyc (CleanIV)

Let's start with the more simple request, I'd like to have the game keep running in the background even if I'm alt+tabbed while in borderless windowed.

As for the more advanced request;
For a while now, I've been wanting to re-enable multiplayer and to create my own sort of "unofficial social club backend" that would deal with multiplayer storage data, such as lobby data, ranked data and player data. The more I worked on this, the more I realized that Rockstar actually did seem to attempt to officially enable multiplayer, on their own social club services. There are so many strings in the game that show evidence of this, as well as having pretty much full Social Club integration to the game where even my in-game name (when launching into a MP game via LAN) will be my Social Club name. Seeing as Rockstar didn't proceed with this development and just removing the multiplayer options from the phone entirely, I decided I'd try and make my own data server. However, due to my lack of networking skills, I might not be able to properly fulfill this task.

So I'm here, to ask the professionals instead. Would you be interested in re-enabling multiplayer, as well as to create a backend server to deal with the networking and data required to get multiplayer to work again? I firmly believe there are a lot of people wanting this, and making use of the already existing Social Club integration would be neat and seamless, as if it was official. It'd also prevent pirates from playing multiplayer as you'd need to have a SC account, as well as owning the game in order to access Multiplayer.

While I'm aware that this request may seem crazy, I'm willing to ask either way, for the community.

The Booth tunnel lacks shadows for objects (e.g. cars, pedestrians)

No matter what I tried, no matter what I did (I lowered the settings and turned on the NVIDIA frame limiter, but damn) I will never be able to pass the last mission of Elizabeth Torres because of this fix.

If someone have other fix, thank you.

INI is sort of a dying standard, and switching to JSON or TOML would be much preferable.

I would be more than happy to make a PR if all contributors are for the idea.

Hey, I just tried your fix on Complete Edition but whether I change "MouseFix" option between 1 or 0 it doesn't do anything. Other settings works perfectly though.

So the deadzone fix works exclusively when moving my mouse down or to the right, left or up however stay exactly the same as no fix and aim doesn't budge if I move the mouse slowly. This is frustrating to the point of making the game almost unplayable.

For some reason, the cutscene FPS gets limited to around 20fps even when CutsceneFpsLimit is set higher.

Hi, I'm looking to improve GTA4's pixelated shadows.
This isn't exactly an issue here, but something I'd like to fix in GTA4 that I haven't found a solution anywhere and I need help from someone who knows about GTA4 and/or wrapper for d3d9.
I analyzed all shaders looking for how to activate the linear filter for the shadow, but I didn't find anything about TEXTURE SAMPLE STATE, so I believe that shader effects were not used and SAMPLE STATE was assigned via code in the executable itself.
I'm looking for some way to create a wraper to see all the SAMPLE STATE calls for the game's textures and see which one doesn't assign LINEAR as a filter and can replace it with linear.
I'm not entirely sure that the problem with pixelated shadows is just SAMPLE STATE assigned as NEAREST or POINT, but from my experience with OpenGL I believe that's just the problem.

Turning off definition adds motion blur and depth of field. This can help with flickering objects which are far away, but makes the game rather unsharp on lower resolutions. Turning this setting to on makes the game sharper. You can toggle this setting on and off in-game by pressing P, too.

Вопрос, есть ли некая возможность добавить конфигурацию для данного эффекта.?
Например уменьшить влияние эффект замыливания картинки при низком разрешении, при этом оставив размытие на скорости и вдали.

Сейчас чтобы достигнуть чего-то похожего, нужно рендерить игру в 4К на 1080р мониторе, в результате с Definition Off, ты получаешь четкую картинку, ровные линии, и эффекты размытия на скорости и вдали.

This is purely for nostalgia sake - would this be hard to implement?

On consoles, when you popped the disc in and launched the game, the game would play the loading screen song immediately during the R* intro sequence.

On PC, this was changed so that there is a little short version of that song, a jingle that plays before the main menu is shown (absent on consoles).

Seeing how the Fusion Fix implements an option to skip the main menu and go straight to the game, it would be amazing if there was also an option that makes the game play the loading song straight away INSTEAD of the little PC exclusive jingle.

It is minor, but it would add to the experience if you were a seasoned console player and you'd like the startup sequence to be similar to how it was on the consoles.

Hello ThirteenAG,

I have a very frustrating problem with FusionFix: when I use it, I always experience random freezes during gameplay. No matter the version or the platform I install it on (Steam, Rockstar Launcher, downgraded/latest patch), the sequence is the same: the game just freezes with the the sound still playing in the background. I then have to alt-tab and sign out of the system to regain control of my computer (the freeze is that bad). There's no error message or notification at all. If it helps, it almost always happens while I'm driving. Just several minutes ago it occurred with the FusionFix for the Patch 1.0.8.0: https://github.com/ThirteenAG/GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix/releases/tag/v1.10

I cannot play with FusionFix at all because of this bug and only put it into the game folder to complete the final mission in GTA 4 (as the helicopter QTE is impossible without FusionFix).

I've looked through Windows Event Viewer, and at the time of this freeze it wrote the following:

Using FusionFix the sensitivity using a gamepad becomes way too high while inside vehicles. Shouldn't be affected at all. Unsure if it's altered on foot.

This is with GTAIV version 1.0.8 with XLiveLess installed in order to utilize FusionFix.

Unless I set my desktop to 4K beforehand. Probably unable to go beyond the desktop resolution. 1.0.7.0 does not have this issue.

Hello, MouseFix is working well for aiming with guns, but may be required too in other situations as aiming in a car and moving the camera slowly in freeview

I did a fresh steam install of GTA 4 complete edition with patch 1.2.0.43 and installed FusionFix. I had expected it to work as the installation guide says 'Install Grand Theft Auto IV Complete Edition (v1.2.0.30 and above required)' but FusionFix wasn't working at all so I was pretty confused. I had to downgrade to 1.0.7.0 using this guide
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2438808634
To get FusionFix to work. I think the installation guide should be changed given this.

Since i installed this mod i cant open the phone arrow up does nothing.

even tried reassigning a different key but to no avail.

i tried loading another save and that worked
so now im not sure if this is because fusionfix
maybe just the newer whiz wireless phone isnt working and the old 1 is but im not sure.

I'm playing on Complete Edition, 1.2.0.43.
Without FusionFix or with HandbrakeCamFix disabled, the automatic camera movement when driving is too slow. It takes forever for the camera to pan towards the direction I'm driving.
With HandbrakeCamFix enabled it doesn't actually fix the handbrake cam (it's been noted that it won't when playing with controller) but it does fix the slow camera movement.
But also, moving the camera with the right stick is now way too sensitive. It makes aiming or just looking around difficult.
Is there a way we could have the best of both worlds? Speed up the automatic camera movement, but keep the right stick camera sensitivity the same way it is in the base game?

Despite the mouse fix, it only fixes the aiming. First person views on vehicles, binoculars, etc. (except sniper scopes) still has the deadzone bug for the mouse.

Would it be possible to add a fix for this issue?

For this mission:

Freezing the frames at 30fps when you need to press space seems to work as a fix

I'm on 1.0.8.0 game version and tried to use this
https://github.com/ThirteenAG/GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix/releases/tag/v1.10
Game doesn't show up on screen, only in Windows Task Manager.
This happens only when .asi and .ini files are inside Plugin folder.

Using Fusion Fix with GTAIV_ExtendVidMem is not possible because the file responsible for loading .asi files overwrites it. Maybe GTAIV_ExtendVidMem could be implemented in Fusion Fix?

I am working on portable GTA IV 2020 Complete Edition. While on older game versions it is possible with your excellent XLivelessAddon , unfortunately it does not work on 2020CE.
I already managed to redirect savegames into local SAVE\GTA IV\0F74F4C4 subfolder using local_save.txt feature of Goldberg RGSC emu but I have trouble with settings folder redirection in 2020CE. Is it possible to implement CustomSettingsPath in FusionFix?

Enabling Borderless Windowed Mode does nothing using XLivelessAddon configuration file. The game seems to still run in full screen. Can anyone please look into this issue? I know this issue could be fixed in the latest version of FusionFix, but I still run the old CD version of the game. I hope that this can be fixed for the old version too.

Another example I encountered. Slow-mo frame by frame.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qPXSQzSMLE

When FusionFix is removed, such problem is no more presented.
In first sample it looks like there is almost consistent delay between each occurrence.
With regular GTAIV 1.0.7.0 could not reproduce such issue.

Any suggestion which option I can play more, maybe to get some additional info for this case? Like VSYNC, framerate limits...

I have my game files from before the Steam update to The Complete Edition, so I still play on GFWL and such. I would seriously appreciate it if you could backport the mouse deadzone fix to the other branch of FusionFix compatible with 1.0.8.0.

Sorry if this is not the correct place to ask, thank you for your time.

For me cutscenes stutter at 60fps.
I tried using 50 fps but nothing really worked.
Will the framerate be better for this fix?

Clean install of the game... put the files in the root directory of the game but nothing changed... Am I doing something wrong ? I'm confused. After the install I'm supposed to run the game as normal right ?

There are misplaced building models in Alderney without collisions. I have resintalled my game 3 times and installed only Ultimate asi loader and Fusion fix. I believe that it's the issue with Fusion fix
1st Location I found:



2nd Location:

Started using the fix sometime earlier this year without issues (thank you for the mod!) but updated later with a crash loading in-between different saves.

1.) Let game load normally, letting mod skip intro (SkipIntro = 1) & menu (SkipMenu = 1).
2.) Pause -> Game -> Load (or New) -> Play in any other DLC or IV.
3.) Game will crash after a few seconds.

Workarounds:
1.) Applying EmissiveShaderFix to 0.

...or...

2.) Applying SkipMenu to 0 and loading the game you want after.

Latest Steam, The Complete Edition.

When starting the game, it'll skip the intros and load into GTA IV instantly. I cant load into TBOGT.

I just bought GTA 4 Complete Edition in Steam on a sale and decided to install this mod. Unfortunately, it breaks the "Complete Edition" part of the game.

Without FusionFix, the game loads normally - shows two legal notices, the logos and the choice between running GTA 4 and EFLC. However, with FusionFix the game briefly shows the second notice, then briefly the "You are currently not logged in" warning (during which the logo jingle plays, even though the logos aren't shown) and jumps straight to GTA 4.

There is a missing LOD near Roman's Cab Depot


The only mods that I got installed are:
-Asi loader
-Fusion fix
-ColAccel
-Custom Timecyc (CleanIV)

Using this mod, there's a random chance for the next pigeon / stunt jump that loads to crash the game if at least one other pigeon / stunt jump has already been exterminated / completed in a given session. They can happen consistently, though a different order can help prevent crashing. For example, if pigeons around have been exterminated in a specific order before reaching the pigeon on the bridge above Acter, approaching it crashes the game.
Not to be confused with the bug that crashes the game where exterminating a pigeon may randomly crash the game. Disabling the mod solved the issue.

Hello ThirteenAG,

I noticed a problem during the mission "Easy As Can Be" given by Brucie Kibbutz. After you reached the car you are supposed to steal, an in-game cutscene of Niko entering the car starts and the game freezes.

Up until now, I thought that the problem was isolated to me and related to other mods. However, I published a Steam guide called How to make GTA IV: The Complete Edition perfectly playable in 2020 a few months ago (featuring FusionFix and Col.Accel among other fixes). This guide gained moderate popularity on Steam and I frequently have to answer comments and troubleshoot. One such comment described the exact same problem with "Easy As Can Be" that I've experienced. As a result, it seems like this freeze is a direct result of the FusionFix. The only way around it is to move the FusionFix out of the GTA IV directory, play the mission, save, and then reinsert the FusionFix afterwards.

I replayed the whole GTA IV story with your fix and "Easy As Can Be" is the only mission where it caused a game-breaking problem.

Thank you very much for your efforts and your great fixes - they bring joy to many of us GTA players, including myself! ;)

As you can see in the following screenshots, Windowed Borderless is enabled on the ini file but the game window still has a border (black bar on the left and part of the IV logo from the executable is visible on the top-left).

I'm using 1.2.0.32 from Steam.
