Hello Guys! Long time since I've posted...

( Not sure if this is the correct place for GTA IV Help topics, Feel free to move it :P )

Anyway, I've been playing around more and more with GTA IV, and becomming more and more sad over it's performance and graphical "hiccups", I've also tried installing it on my desktop, Weaker graphics card but much stronger CPU to not much help...

Getting jealous when I'm at my friends house seeing him playing on max out with no lag..lolz..

Anyway after playing around, I found out I can run GTA IV maxed out, But only with patch 1.0.4.0.

Updating the game, Renders it "unplayable".

I know LCPDFR most likely won't run on patch 1.0.4.0 but I know some older scrips do, But I'm having problems finding the correct "tools" to load scripts, I can only find new ones that my version of the game is too old to support...

Can anyone one help? :/

Also, Is it possible to run LCPDFR on patch 1.0.4.0. I have a Norwegian friend on the other side of the country who does it, But he is to....non computer smart to explain me where he found those things. I've tried google and such.

and yes I understand LCPDFR on Patch 1.0.4.0 will act like a trouble child on crack, But I wanna try if it's at ALL possible. I've seen it but...Yeah...

Help? :)

Thanks in advance!

By old tools do you mean older scripthooks?

Won't work, LCPD:FR uses the new features in the ScriptHook, so it'll just crash.

And I really doubt you can play it maxed on a laptop, or a desktop with a worse GPU.

It can run on max, I mean not View Distance but...All settings at high and view about 50... It runs smooth 20-30 FPS, I can make a vid if you want xD

Updating to 1.0.7.0 however means the game have problems even running on low-med settings.

The desktop however had problems due too it's weak GPU. The laptop however has an Ati Radeon HD 5650 with 1 GB Vram, The system also have 8 Gigs Ram and a Intel Core i5 5.52 Ghz 5.52 Ghz

From version 1.0.0.0 to 1.0.5.0. runs good on systems that's within it's spec, I don't have a weak laptop so it runs smooth, Just not the new patch due to shadows updating and so on.

and yeah, By older I mean stuff that loads scripts for older version such as 1.0.4.0, Like...a car spawner etc...I can't find the scripthook and dsound thingy for that era.

Thanks for the help! ^^

Well unless you find a mod meant for 1.0.4.0 you're probably out of luck. Most websites with a scripthook on their server update it over time so finding an old one might take a lot of time and effort.

And you must love having -31 rep.

I had -34 a while ago, Lol... At least I'm not fired, I just won't make Sergant....I have some scripts designed and some says Works with 1.0.4.0. The only issue is I cannot find a scripthook that's old enough :/ So if you stumble accross one tell me?

Thanks! :3

Has Google brought you to any magical sites with older scripthooks? Or have you not gotten around to searching yet. Some mods include a scripthook.

edit: what about this? www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=392325

Just don't use old stuff for LCPDFR. I am only helping you since I assume you are trying to use older mods.

Thanks! I'll try it out when I get home. :3

Does anyone know what patches Traffic Flow works with? Doesnt really say. I assume 1.0.7.0. tho or maybe I'm wrong?

Thanks again.

TrafficFlow works with 1.0.7.0
