I really wish the newest patch didn't break the mods. The ENB shots are absolutely gorgeous but they don't work for EFLC. Hopefully the modding community will come and save the day.

I just bought the Liberty City Episodes for PS3. Is it just me or it seems to run smoother than GTAIV itself?.
Anyway, I thought I wouldn't like the Lost and Damned pack because of all the fags (j/k, it's a south park joke..), but I'm enjoying it a lot. Only thing I don't like is that the heavy metal radio is on every time you take one of the members bikes, so I have to change it all the time :lol :lol

I can confirm that the ENB mod for EFLC (can't provide a link right this second) DOES work with the updated patch for GTA IV. In fact, even with ENB on, it runs much smoother than the plain vanilla pre-patch. I can't tell if its in a limited sense, and there is discussion about the shadows not work through ENB, but the game's updated shadows do still work fine.
You can find the mod on the GTA forums.

All the features of ENB? I've heard that only SSAA works. Everything else is borked.

What's the average performance hit with the ENB mod? Greater or less than 50%?
Kayhan said:
No because the AA they used looked like ass to me. Blurred up everything that I preferred to go without AA so I could see the textures clearly. I know the mod is at least partially enabled because I can 'Alt+F12' between modes to remove the shitty vanilla filter, improve the bloom, and improve on reflections.
Again, I'm using the ENB for EFLC so I'm not sure if some of the functionality is different, and I know the shadows are wonky so I stick with the game's vanilla post-patch shadows.

All depends on how you configure it. You can go small and have a minor hit with some decent gains or go large and take a sizable hit. There is a sweet spot, for sure, but I don't know the configs well enough for tweaking, so I'm relying on pre-done ones right now.

If it even partially works for EFLC, that's really good news. When I get home from work, I'll give it a try. Also, which copy of EFLC do you have? Apparently the exe for the GFWL/Retail and Steam are different.

I have Steam's version of GTA IV. I don't own EFLC.
Someone suggested using ENB for EFLC for the newly patched GTA IV and Steam auto-updates so I had no choice but to try it. Apparently the guy who modded ENB to work with it released a shader patch for the shadows, but I'll be damned if I can get the thing to work.

Even better...I've got the steam version of GTAIV as well..

Can you provide links or direct me to the right place to get ENB going? It'd be much appreciated as the GTAforums are really cumbersome to navigate through, especially when you don't know the lexicon.

Sorry about that. This topic covers everything so far for the ENB for EFLC, which works for GTA IV vanilla as well (or at least partially does).

Oh, I see now. ENB dosen't really work work with EFLC. It is an older version of the mod that has been modified to work to some extent.
You are not going to get the great graphical update that ENB brings without taking a big prformance hit. The SSAA, SSAO, reflections etc. are the whole point of ENB.
Good news that the First Person mod can be made to work with EFLC though.

I bought the episodes from GFWL when they came out. I've managed to play through Lost and Damned without any problem, but now when I download Gay Tony it looks like I get about 2/3rds downloaded and it says the entire thing is there, but when I try and play it crashes to desktop after the first cutscene. Fucking GFWL, should have just got them from Steam. I've tried deleting and redownloading but it does the same thing. Anyone know what's going on?

I finished GTAIV this morning and the entire last hour was like "okay, *now* I've killed everyone... guess not... how about *now? wrong again. *now?* nope." It really drags on. But when you're done you actually feel done.
I have a quick question regarding the expansions:
I am still playing the main story, but I would like to be able to use the Guns and Vehicles and whatnot that come with the expansions. If you buy the expansions are you able to use the additional items they added with Niko's story, or are they only available for those specific stories?
Thanks much.

After playing and enjoying Red Dead I really want to give GTA4 another chance. I had the game on PS3 but never really got into it sadly. I want to give it another try so I wonder if I should stick with PS3 or try PC version?
I have:
e8400 @ 3.9 Ghz
4GB RAM
5850 @ 920/1190
Windows 7
1680x1050 monitor.
No gamepad on PC though but I could buy some cheapo PS2 looking pad if need be

beat Gay Tony a few days ago... much better than Lost and Damned, imo. The characters are so over the top and it's as if Michael Bay directed a GTA game. :lol

My brother just got this for his PC.
Does anyone know which patch is optimal ?
It seems like many people are complaining about the latest patch (6th or 7th?) because it turned down some graphics to improve performance.
Is 1.0.4.0 patch any good ?
Is there a list anywhere that tells the differences ?

The Episodes (on disc) need a seperate install from the regular GTA IV? Why?

Because it's just DLC. It depends on the disc for the game engine.

But isn't the install just city assets? That should work fine with both games, as long as the DLC stuff is on the disc. If I was to download it from the Store, it would read the GTA IV install just fine.AnEternalEnigma said:

This is weird.I have GTA 4 on pc ( steam version) and the cops do absolutely nothing when I shoot at them! Is this a bug or something? I can't get any wanted stars.I even tried using the wanted stars cheat and that doesn't even work.
Has anyone else had this problem?
This game also needs an AA patch!

Why does the PS3 version of episodes from Liberty city use the same save file system as the original GTAIV? I believe GTAIV had a limit to the maximum number of save files and now I find that any Episodes from liberty city save files count towards that limit. Why would they do this if they are essentially different games?

What problems are you having with the controls and camera? Are you trying to play using a controller? Console gamers complained about the driving controls in GTA 4 from day 1 but the cars handled like a dream for me. I just assumed it was because they were driving with controllers instead of m/kb.
I <3 Memes said:
I don't like how the cars handle at all, not for this type of game anyway. It's so hard to simply turn and powerslide in this game, I'm crashing into everything. I'm not sure if it's trying to be realistic but I don't like it as it is.
Character controls feel unresponsive and laggy.
Camera snaps to the back of your character way too quickly after you look around with it, after being used to other, higher quality third-person action games this gen I can't deal with this. There's something about it I really dislike.
I have advanced very little but just based on controls itself I cannot believe this game got all those perfect scores.
I am using a controller though, but I couldn't imagine playing a GTA game with a keyb/m.
Running like total crap doesn't help either.
Be sure to download the latest patch v.1.070, it has a nice performance boost, without the patch it will run like crap, even if you have a decent rig. If you already have the patch applied, be sure to move the sliders/bars all the way to the left (the 3 green sliders/bars in the graphics option). I would set the first two sliders between 10-20 and the third one, car density to 40-50. Just check the framerate, move it up/down a little. And yeah, the cars are slippery as hell and hard to take a turn without hitting other cars, just how I remember them from the PS3 version. Try to use handbrake lol, the camera will follow your car from the side, it's horrible, no idea why they would implement it like that. And be sure to turn off auto-aiming.

I hope they adjust this in the next game. The turning arc is just to darn wide. People don't move like that and it made walking through doors a pain.
