GTA IV Downgrader
This tool allows users to easily revert their Grand Theft Auto IV installation (versions 1.2.0.30 and up) from Steam or Rockstar Games Launcher to earlier versions such as 1.0.8.0, 1.0.7.0, or 1.0.4.0.
 
🤝 Requirements
.NET Framework 4.8 - Should be installed on every Windows 11/10 machine. Windows 11, 10, 8.1, 8 or 7 - Tested on Windows 11, 10 and 7. Internet Connection - Only if you dont plan on using the offline mode Be in a country which isn't that crappy - Find out why in the "🗒️ Notes" section.  
⬇️ Download most recent version

Other downloads
Downgrading files for manual downgrade  
 
 
⁉️ How to use
Download the Downgrader. Extract the downloaded zip somewhere on your PC but NOT in your GTA IV folder! Run the IVDowngrader.exe file (Preferably as an administrator). 🔎 Now carefully follow all the steps. That's it!  
 
🗒️ Some notes
⚠️ The downgrader downloads stuff, such as mods and data, from GitHub and Dropbox. Some countries such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea or Syria block these services. So if that's the case for you, you will need to perform a manual downgrade instead. The downgrader will NOT delete any of your save files. You can savely press "Next" on the "Analysing your GTA IV directory" step if a warning occured. Make sure to read what the warning says tho. If an error occurs while the downgrader is trying to download the required downgrading files, you can download them manually here. You can then drag the files you downloaded into the "Data -> Temp" folder of the Downgrader and you can try to redowngrade.  
 
🌐 How to use the downgrader's offline mode (⚠️ Only for Version 2.0 and above of the Downgrader ⚠️)
Download the downgrading files you need from here. For example: If you want to downgrade to 1080, and want to use the Legacy Radio Downgrader, you download these 2 files. Place the downloaded files inside the Data -> Temp (If Temp folder doesn't exists, you can just create it) folder of the GTA IV Downgrader. Do not extract the files! Just copy & paste them in there. Run the downgrader using the "LaunchInOfflineMode.exe". The downgrader will now run in offline mode and does not download any file drom the internet. It will only use the files you've put inside the Data > Temp folder.

GTA IV Launcher
With this launcher you can add different GTA IV directories and instantly run them through this launcher, so you don't always have to navigate to that directory first to start it from there.
So with this launcher, you will always have your GTA IV installations in one place! You can also connect to any currently opened GTA Connected server using this launcher! Just go to the Multiplayer tab,
double click on any server, and you will join this specific server! GTA Connected needs to be installed tho. Without it you can't even play GTA Connected.
This launcher can be used with steam! So you hit play, select a GTA IV installation, and that specific installation get's started! Of course you can also use all steam functions like the overlay without a problem!
(Tutorial on how to use the launcher with steam below)
 
Requirements
.NET Framework 4.7.2 (Should be installed on every Windows 10 machine) Windows 11, Windows 10, 8.1, 8 or 7. Works best on Windows 10.  
Downloads
GTA IV Launcher Version 1.6 (180MB unzipped)  
How to use the launcher with steam
If you want to use the launcher with steam, navigate to the folder where your steam games are located (Where are my steam games located?) navigate to Grand Theft Auto IV>GTAIV and drag & drop everything from the downloaded
folder into the GTAIV folder. Now, rename the already existing PlayGTAIV.exe to something else (When you hit Play in steam, steam is gonna launch the PlayGTAIV.exe) now rename the GTAIVLauncher.exe to PlayGTAIV.exe and GTAIVLauncher.exe.config to PlayGTAIV.exe.config.
And that should be it... Now when you click Play in steam it should run the launcher instead of GTA IV (Or the R* launcher if you haven't downgraded yet)!

Notes
- If you want to use this mod, you will need ScriptHookDotNet.
- If you want to use the GTA V Style Radar, you need the ZolikaMenu and GTA IV Version 1.0.0.0 - 1.0.8.0 (ZolikaMenu does not work with the 2020 Complete Edition. Waypoint Distance VStyle does work with the 2020 CE).

Version History / Changelog
Version 1.5 The text is now more flat. You can decide if you want the text to have a shadow behind it. And you can set the size of the shadow too. You can decide if the text should be bold. "UseAutoPosition" added. This option automatically adapts the text to the current screen resolution so you dont have to type in the values manually if you dont have a 1920x1080 monitor. You can use those 2 values: TextPosX and TextPosY as an offset for the text (Only works if you set "UseAutoPosition" to true.). If you set "UseAutoPosition" to false, those 2 values become the position of the text. UseAutoPosition is set to true by default. Added support for Zolika's Menu V Radar(s)! "AutoEnableWhenZMenuIsInstalled" added. This option will check if you have the ZolikaMenu installed. If you have it installed, the text will change its position to fit the V Radar. "EnableDisableKey" added. This will let you change from V Radar text style to default text style. Default key: F8 "RadarStyle" added. In the ZolikaMenu you have 3 options for the V Radar: Beta, LG and NG. If you want to use "LG", then you need to set the value of this option to "LG", this also applies for the 2 other styles. Default value: NG Version 1.2 You can now choose a custom font for the text. You can now choose the font size for the text. You can enable "UseEpisodeTextColor" to enable the current episode color for the text. (See images for an example) The position of the text can now be changed. Version 1.1 The text will now hide if the hud is disabled in the options. Version 1.0 Release
