GTA4 + iCEnhancer mod. Holy mother of god.

Last time I tried getting this to work, I kept getting that stupid red-colored sky at night. I couldn't find out a way to fix it, so I gave up.

To bad it never looks like that on my machine. This is when it actually worked. Now everytime I try and start it up my GTA 4 crashes on start up :(

Make sure you don't have any recording software running, FPS viewers etc. ( MSI Afterburner and the likes ) as that'll crash the game. FRAPS is the only thing working.

This might be enough to finally get me to replay the game. I remember the road textures but are there any other enhancements that I pretty much need? Is there an easy car pack to install? I remember that being pretty hard the first time I tried it.

I wish i had a better PC.

Then again, i didn't really like GTA 4 that much. But i guess the mods on PC opens up a ton of new gameplay stuff.

Couple of questions, what are the system requirements? and, does it work with the standalone episodes?

EDIT: It seems that they are not that high compared to previous versions and it is compatible with the episodes, Nice!

I like the fact that he went on about how perfect this release should be, considering it's his last. Postponed the release for over 2 months, kept talking about how much work he put into it. He just released it and then ... It's 'only' for 1.0.4.0 yet with no real configuration, doesn't have his installer that he postponed the release a week for nor his tweak tool. Just a simple RAR as always and a game that looks worse than ever - It's even worse than his 2.0 release.

The guy peaked at 1.35 and now he's just a big ass primadonna, swimming around in his tiny internet fame. His releases are so bad, that they basically look like default ENB with a few sliders tweaked here and there.
 
Why Rockstar hasn't hired this guy yet is beyond me.

I'd love to see you do better. Or anything at all.

Oh god, here we go.

Are you people even half-aware what ENB is? He didn't create ENB, that was made by a guy called Boris Vorontsov. What this guy does is, like the 300 other ENB settings available for GTA IV is take it and tweak it - That's it. Now, he did a nice job up to his 1.35 release but then it all went to shit. He kept mucking about, lost focus and his releases have gone downhill from there quality wise. The game looked far nicer in his old releases, more realistic.

He's got a bit of internet 'fame' because he made a mainstream ENB setting and suddenly he deserves a job at one of the biggest game development companies? For what, for tweaking another guy's work? If anything, Boris should get the job. I respected the guy and the reason I call him a primadonna is because over the past few months, he just treats some of his fanbase like shit, remove ANY critical comment, afraid of releasing on GTA4-Mods because of the comments and his constant bait tactics to get attention, especially on his Facebook page is just a laugh. Just look at the videos of other 'work' he is uploading, the jewellery video is a good example; NO information, NO nothing so everything can sit there and go "Oh what is this, oh oh!" instead of just providing some information - It's like a small cry for free comments on his video.

People should go check out some of the other popular ENBs available, so many really good ones by talented people but apparently this guy is just a golden egg, which I don't understand considering his releases get progressively worse. Ever since 1.35 I had to spend hours sometimes to tweak his releases to remove all his light ray muck, tweak the brightness, touch up on the performance just to get a somewhat respectable experience.

As an artist, you are only as good as your last release ...
 
I agree with Sethos that the dude is a primmadonna who seriously thinks he's the most important thing to grace the internet. Also, the mod looks worse now.

Good point. Not to rain on this guys parade but it takes a lot of the impact away since he's been tweaking something he didn't create for a while now.

Fuck editors, all they do is work off other peoples work! Also with that artist comment its so wrong, many artist go out with shit in the end but they will always be remembered for the good shit they did.

But yeah I do agree with you how it was all down hill after 1.35.

I just got GTAIV on Steam as well. Is there an up-to-date guide on how to get it looking like those iCenhancer vids?

You might wanna wait a bit, the newest version just came out today but the download link (for steam version) isn't up yet. Check here for the eventual download.

What do you mean? Cause i don't want to read it the wrong way, but it seems a bit of an extreme statement to me.

I don't understand; if his releases are terrible and there are a bunch of other guys doing better ones, why are you spending hours on each new release of his?

Hmm. Mine won't even downgrade to 1.4 (Steam). Everything copied and verified correctly copied but it gets to the second loading screen plays the music and stops at 455 megs loaded and never moves after that. Works at 1.7 with both a full new reinstall from today and the original worked fine but no downgrade works. Strange.
Hmm ya verified using another persons file structure to make sure something isn't in the wrong place. Fucking odd.

Anyone willing to make a new noob guide, or does anyone have a link to it? I'm considering replaying the game, and although it'd be nice to have it look better, i don't want to be tweaking it more than i am playing it.

Someone please answer, others have asked before as well:

Which version is the best one then so far, if his latest releases are skewed up? 1.35? Does 1.35 look better then the OP screenshot cause I prefer that look or should I stick with the OP screenshot version 1.2?

He's had one bad release, well now two. I only spent that amount of time on 2.0N after he released the excellent 1.35. So it's not a concious decision of tweaking his crap, it was in hope of making 2.0N more like 1.35 with his improved lighting settings - I won't be spending any time tweaking his 2.1
