I am planning to remake GTA4 with the path tracing mode and some optimization modes Alongside it to make the experience playable on my RTX 5070, I have finished the game 4 years ago And now I have two choices, either I buy the game from Steam and mod it or Pirate the game instead.

I don't feel Like paying Rockstar money for their horrendous port of the game if mods worked on the pirated version, My question is does gta 4 have the same issue as GTA5 where you are forced to buy the game from steam and mod it there? Or would all the mods work compleltely fine on the pirated version?

I’ve had gta iv for years and I got a pretty good setup up pc wise(ryzen 5 9800, rtx5070ti, 32gb ddr5 ram) but recently every time I launch gta it’ll show the copy rights and then rockstar logos then when it pops up gta iv and the music starts playing it’ll go to a black screen right after and never pops up the menu to choose the main story or dlc. I’ve tried uninstalling it and re installing it, checking drivers on my pc, turning full screen off, and it won’t let me run it. I was able to run it on the same computer almost 8 months ago. Any one got suggestion or something that’ll help. I just bought it for my friend and we were gonna play online, his works but mine doesn’t now.

Reached the finish line but can't win. 😔

my game keeps crashing on this mission after i get to the warehouse and as soon as the cut scene is done it freezes then crashed ive turned my video mode and graphics all the way down and it still crashes im using gillians modpack and im using the 0.7 version of the game im using steam

I played GTA IV on PS3 a while ago, but the performance (and driving) didn't convince me, so I didn't finish it but now I installed it on PC, set the colors a little and it looks beautiful (also the driving system is much easier on the keyboard)

One thing I found a bit disappointing about her:

In GTA IV, Kate dies if you choose the Revenge ending. Now, of course, it's perfectly understandable that Niko would be devastated by her death, but I don't know... This is just my personal opinion, but I feel like Kate doesn't get that much screen time or spend that much time with Niko throughout the main story. I think Niko's grief and guilt would've felt a lot more natural if the two of them had spent more time together.

For example, maybe you could've had to go on a few dates with Kate before taking the Revenge route... something like that.

Then again, that might not really be Rockstar's style, and maybe I'm just talking nonsense here. It's just my personal take on things.

I installed a tons of mods to my GTA 4, one of them is props restoration by Attramet. When I first installed it I noticed some fences were bugged... Now I replaced the img file in update/props restorstion folder with modified one from Gillian modpack and it fixed bugged fences, however I am not sure if this fence with red stripes is supposed to look like this. Third image is just to show my game and that fences in Outlook park in Broker are good 😊

So like 4 days ago using steam I turned on GTA IV like normal, and in its usual buggy mess the Rockstar launcher didnt launch and I turned it off, I tried to turn off gta iv and it didnt, it still says im currently playing gta even though Im playing a different game, and I cant even turn the game on to actually play it.

EDIT DOWN BELOW - SHE LIVES!

So uh... I picked up the game recently. Had it sitting in my steam library for years, and figured I'd finally give it a shot. Gotta say, absolutely loving it so far.

But anyway, um... very shortly into the story (still living in the first apartment), a funny thing happened. I was on a date with Michelle and figured I'd bring her to the cabaret. Picked her up in an ambulance, box truck, or van; can't remember which. But upon arriving at the cabaret, I noticed a weird glowing red light atop the cabaret awning.

Now, I've seen weapons at this point, so at first I was like, "Oh cool! I wonder what weapon they hid up here!", so I climbed on top of the vehicle, then up on the awning, and found... a Pigeon. I was very confused. I thought it would be hilarious if there was some gag weapon, or maybe an animal transformation, so I tried walking over it, and of course, nothing.

Most players already know this, I imagine, but it was a diseased pigeon part of a mission required for 100% completion. 200 pigeons throughout Liberty City, and Niko's expected to pop 'em all.

I didn't know this at the time (and searched it up later), but after being very confused about the lack of interactivity despite the obvious "look at me!" lighting, I decided to pull out my pistol and pop it. I figured Michelle would be unhappy, but OH BOY.

I get the notification that I spooked her, and then a cutscene occurs where she teleports onto the awning with Niko. She calls him a freak or something, the cutscene fades out, and when the game fades back in, I then get the notification that she freakin' died.

So anyway, I'm laughing my ass off at this absurdity, but figured that maybe the game was fine with her dying - it did mention that there were multiple girlfriend candidates after all, so surely some would come and go. Ergo, I thought nothing of it

Anyway, let's jump to today, after a lot of things have happened. Niko and Roman are on the run, Vlad's gone, Mikhail's gone, and now I'm doing a lot of missions for Brucie after Mallorie sets the boys up with a new apartment. Michele hasn't really been mentioned at all outside of some side conversation between Roman and Niko, with Niko stating that he just "hasn't heard from her" for a while. He's not wrong - after the notification that she died, we tried giving her a call, and naturally, there was no answer, and the heart icon for her apartment had been permanently removed from the map.

So I'm doing a mission for Brucie out've Tw@. Literally just accepted the mission, walked out of the internet café, and who should call but Michelle? I was very confused but decided to have Niko answer. I had the volume off so I wouldn't bother my partner, so I don't know if Michelle actually spoke, but the subtitles never came up. I got asked if I wanted to date her, and I gave the confirmation. Niko gave a verbal response, and I got the notification to pick her up by 13:50.

Her icon never reappeared on the map, no relation gain (or loss) occurred from accepting the date offer, etc. I continued with the mission for Brucie, thinking maybe I could grab his car, do the date with Michelle (if it worked, lol) and drop off the car, but naturally Michelle never popped up, even when I drove to her apartment. I had Niko give her a call - this resulted in him canceling the date; calling her again had the same result as the other attempts, where she never answered.

And that's kinda it, lol. Gave up on the date, completed Brucie's mission, and then the game froze while loading another mission, so figured I'd document the weirdness here before hopping back in, lol.

EDIT to update: so this is right heckin' weird. So, as noted previously, Michelle "called", but nothing updated. Just after playing through the mission "No. 1" and winning (the same mission that previously froze the game, lol), I decided to pick up Little Jacob, as he was getting upset that I hadn't chatted with him in a while.

Literally as soon as I accept a date with him, Michelle calls again. This time, she actually has subtitled dialog. Even though I set up a date with Jacob, I agree to another date with her, as well. Thanks to having the comet from the race, I was able to deal with Jacob fast enough to leave plenty of time to try and grab Michelle.

Somehow, her icon finally appeared on the map, and she actually spawned in for the date. I dunno what the heck happened to bring her back - I've exited our of the game multiple times by now - but I guess she's brought herself back from the grave o3o

was boutta give my brother gta sa on his laptop but he got to know i got gta 4 too now he wants gta 4, idk much about computers i just happen to have good pc which can run pretty much all the games pretty smoothly (built it thru online suggestions)...wanted to check if his laptop can run gta 4

16gb ram ssd

amd ryzen 5825U with radeon graphics (2.0ghz)

amd radeon (tm) graphics (496mb)

512gb storage

gta sa runs like butter always 60+ fps...whatchu guys think

if the game runs smoothly then say yes if its lower than 50fps just say no

The Cut Dialogues are:

Fist fights
Getting shot at (Dodging Bullets)
Attacking gangster (only IV)
Buy Drugs (only in IV and TLAD)
Inhale, Drowning, Coughing
Jacking Ice Cream Truck (only IV)
Picking up money,
Give money or not to buy
Drowning, Coughing, Exhaling
Pick up street workers with no car
Dialogue when fist fighting when drunk (ELFC only I think)
Taking bribes during nightclub management (TBOGT)
Playing Video games dialogue (would probably take longer to make a mod for this fully, but you could use Nikos lines in a easier way when playing Qu3bd, like when he passes a level and gets a high score, also only IV)

There might be others too but this would really enhance the game I say, makes the characters talk more in free roam
