its literally what its says
Shadermodel 3.0 is currently unsupported

GTA IV isn't going to be working anytime soon.

Remix works mostly on a fixed function pipeline, and games after 2005-2006 mostly moved to shader-based rendering (like your Shader Model 3.0 error).

Remix is spoofing your graphics card to not support Shader Model 3.0 even though it does, by default it is set to spoof Shader Model 1.4.

You can check out bridge.conf and see the command:
client.shaderVersion = 1.4

This is what causing your error.

You can put client.shaderVersion = 3.0 to get by that error, but the game is not going to work regardless.
