and it's done.

Finally %100 GTA4 on PC. Now I just need to do the episodes from liberty city and finish up the rest of the achievements.
@LukeAlmighty You don't really get anything for doing it except an achievement. I'm kind of an achievement junkie so it was worth it for me. I already did it years ago on the Xbox 360 but I never did the MP achievements because the MP for GTA 4 was a hack fest and the games framterate on console made the game not fun to play.

With that said the PC port is a pain in the ass to set up had to use DXVK .dll convertor files and use a bunch of launch flags to get the game to use the full 4GB of system memory it needs (32-bit app) and lock the frame rate to 45FPS since the engine becomes unstable and has game breaking bugs if it exceeds 48FPS.
@LukeAlmighty The only reason it has those serious issue is because the developers designed it with consoles in mind and tied the physics to the frame rate, and R* is too lazy to fix the issues that plague GTA 4's PC port because they want tweens to buy GTA5 and shark cards instead >_<.It's a shame too because imo GTA 4 has a definitively better story and the rag doll physics are better to.

I thought, it was because of the 10 different DRMs layered on each other :blob_thumb:

@LukeAlmighty

Well they did finally remove GFWL (Games for Windows Live) DRM but it still had Steamworks and Social Club ( Trust me GTA 4 having social club is retarded because it's a single player game ). They re-released 2020 port on Steam removed all MP functions from the game because it no longer worked ( tied to GFWL ).
