General:

Fixed weather blending when using Numos
Updated Numos weather presets
Fixed dark rain particles
Emissive surfaces now use vertex colors by default which now properly tint / dimm building lights and other emissive surfaces
Changed on/off time for night time emissives to match game lights
Updated DLSS + FG to 310.7.0 and tweaked bridge.conf
Fixed invisible player / world on first spawn

Set GTAIV.exe to high priority on start
Deleted unnecessary, loose Fusion Fix fork files
Updated readme and credits

Installation:

Install using the installer:

Download GTAIV-Remix-CompatibilityMod-1.4.2.zip
Download GTAIV-Remix-CompMod-Installer.exe
Place both files in the same folder (no need to copy them to your game folder) and run GTAIV-Remix-CompMod-Installer.exe
Use the File Dialog to select your GTAIV.exe which is located in your GTAIV install folder
If this is your first time installing, the installer will ask if you want to install a custom Fork of FusionFix
- Press YES - If you already have FusionFix installed, it's definitely recommended to install this because the original, unmodified version has a few incompatibilities with RTX Remix. If you do not have FusionFix installed, you are free to choose. It's not a requirement but highly recommended.
The installer will ask you if you want to download the required base-remix-mod.
- Press YES - The CompMod will not function correctly without it - so make sure to install it.
- Use the GIT install method (recommended) because its easier and faster to update to new versions (and uses less bandwidth)
The installer will ask you if you want to download the optional gta4-autopbr-mod.
- This mod converts a bunch of game materials to approximated PBR-materials and makes the game less plasticy. It is entirely optional.
Make sure that you remove all custom launch arguments for GTAIV in Steam (if you have any set and use Steam to run the game)

Tip

You can re-run the installer at any time and choose to only check for remix-base-mod or AutoPBR updates.
If you've used the GIT installation method, it will do delta updates and pull the latest changes. The base mod is getting constant updates which are not coupled to Compatibility Mod releases.

OR Install manually (no need to do this if you've used the installer):

Download GTAIV-Remix-CompatibilityMod-1.4.2.zip
Open the zip and extract all files contained inside the GTAIV-Remix-CompatibilityMod folder into your GTAIV directory (next to the GTAIV.exe). Overwrite all when prompted.
If you want to use FusionFix or have it installed already, it's definitely recommended to install rtx-remix fork of it.
You can find the files inside _installer_options/FusionFix_RTXRemixFork. Extract the plugins & update into your GTAIV directory and override any existing files.
Download gta4-rtx-base-mod
Extract the mods folder (inside of gta4-rtx-base-mod-master) into your rtx-remix folder so that the folder structure looks like this:

Changelog

Remix Runtime:

Rebased remix runtime to near top of tree (latest changes)
Pulled all of the new tonemappers from Remix Plus (by https://github.com/TheGreatHMMMM) into the stable branch

Anti Culling:

Implemented a new anti culling system which renders map sectors outside the players view frustum with their lowest LOD.
This fixes most of the long distance shadows popping in and out of existence.
Adjusted other anti culling settings to regain some performance
Added a new system which forces high LOD objects - that are really close to the player - outside of the view frustum.
This prevents lights from turning off when they are no longer in view, as some are only attached to high LOD objects.

Installer:

Added standalone git cloning for remix mods. Users can now choose to create a local git repo or continue to use the zip download. Using git will make incremental remix mod updating much, much faster because only changed files are getting pulled.

General:

Added weather and clock settings to the utility tab
Fixed #87 fbi buffalo sirens + improved siren spotlights
Updated the FusionFix fork to force-disable more settings that caused issues + changed the d3d9 string to rtx remix
Fixed overly bright bowling interior and underground lights in centralpark via light tweaks (rtx_comp\light_tweaks\z_comp-mod.toml)
Incorporated the local tonemapper changes into rtx.conf (and removed the addon settings file)
Fixed an issue where the comp_settings.toml was overwritten with settings from addon setting files
Removed expensive rain collision setting because its no longer supported
Fix vehicle light z-fighting

Updates to the remix base mod:

Tweaked raindrop visuals
Started replacing alpha tested / blended chainlink fences with fully modeled fences all around the map to improve performance (because less OMM building)

Physical Atmosphere Branch:

Sparkles made a bunch of performance improvements and visually overhauled many aspects of the cloud rendering
Many other issues were fixed
All related settings can be found in the Alt+X menu, second tab under the sky section

The installer will ask you if you want to download the required base-remix-mod.
You can install this via a standard zip download or choose git, which will create a local repository that makes incremental updating easier and faster.
Make sure that you remove all custom launch arguments for GTAIV in Steam (if you have any set)

Usage and general Info

Run the game like normal or use the provided batch files (mentioned in the Wiki further down) if you notice heavy stuttering.
It's recommended to adjust distance and quality sliders in the GTA4 graphic options (higher values => earlier CPU bottleneck).
Try 30 for view distance and 40 for quality and adjust from there. The first launch might cause problems, simply re-try a second time.

Release 1.3.1

github-actions released this 06 Jun 07:46

v1.3.1

c016d17

Important - this release comes in two flavors

The default one (stable) which contains a few small bug fixes / improvements over 1.3.0 and should generally be used
A version that contains a more up-to-date version of the remix runtime
with the addition of a physical atmosphere, volumetric clouds + weather system and new tonemappers (Remix Plus) by

⚠️ The second version is not ready for a full release as it has a bunch of issues (more on that further down below) ⚠️

If you want to test it:

Install the compatibility by following the Installation guide further down below.
Afterwards, download GTAIV-AtmosTestAssets-1.3.1.zip and extract its contents into your GTA4 folder (where GTAIV.exe is located) and replace all files when prompted

If you need support or have questions about this version, please ask on discord and refrain from creating an Issue on GitHub.

Changelog 1.3.1

Changed DLSS RayReconstruction model to Model D which should get rid of reflection noise
Slightly tweaked the new tonemapper settings that were introduced in 1.3.0 (made nights a little brighter)
General code cleanup
Fixed vertex color usage on vehicle livery which incorrectly tinted livery on 1.3.0

Physical Atmosphere Branch:

Wired in-game weather to the atmosphere-weather system
Modified atmosphere weather presets to fit IV's weather
Rebased Remix-Plus onto a newer version of the remix runtime (dxvk-remix fork that comes with this release)
- includes fixes and improvements for the atmosphere system
- includes new Shadow Terminator fix that should smooth out hard shadow edges on lower poly meshes
- DLFG 6x
- volumetric/particle fixes
- includes a very recent feature called Preserve path that improves the CPU bottleneck a little

⚠️ Issues with this branch due to recent remix changes / the atmosphere system ⚠️

Clouds that come with the atmosphere system are performance intensive. You may need to disable cloud rendering or the physical atmosphere all together (more on that further down below)
Alpha tested meshes like chainlink fences are unexpectedly rebuilding OMM's (micro triangles) and induce visual instability
Surfaces with per surface tweaks (eg. wetness, emissive strength, dirt etc.) might not update as expected due to the new Preserve path feature (my dxvk-remix modifications that allow for per surface tweaks are not yet adjusted for that feature)
Rain particle system is no longer visible
General instability
Loading into the game might result in missing meshes which can be fixed by entering and leaving the game menu via ESC

Changelog 1.3.0

Settings: disabled color temperature setting + decrease desaturation influence
Switched from global to the local tonemapper
Fixed lights turning off when game is paused
Fixed dlc phone bug #104
Reduced default fog intensity
Fixed black horizon fog #113
Settings: fixed incorrect default values for rear lights on cars
Settings: fixed timecycle_bloom_enabled read/write issue (could not be disabled)
Rebased remix-fusion-fix fork onto 5.0
Settings: added an option to force vertex color usage on vehicles (on by default) which properly colors wheels and other parts
Direct input: forward middle mouse to ImGui
General ImGui fixes + logic to reset comp-settings to their defaults by using the Middle Mouse Button
Silenced pattern scan on release builds - only print errors
Installer: added ability to skip base mod download if it was installed manually
Added a workaround (hack) to fix Nicos invisible head after spawning (entering and leaving the menu via ESC also fixes the head)

Changes to CompSettings (and Remix settings)

CompSettings: now tracking a version per setting so that the comp mod no longer resets every comp-setting after an update. It will only reset settings that have drastically changed default settings due to logic changes under the hood.
Added Addon .conf and .toml file loading (rtx_comp/addon_settings/)
- Files in 'addon_settings' are automatically loaded on game start and are applied in inverse alphabetical order (lower to higher priority).
- Community modders should use the addon_settings system to modify comp-mod / remix settings instead of directly editing the comp_settings.toml / rtx.conf files.
- Files in addon_settings/presets are listed in a listbox inside the [Setting Presets] section in the Comp Settings tab of the F4 menu
  and can be manually applied in-game by the user to quickly change the appearance of the game.

Fixed UV of the Dirt layer that is generated when the vehicle uses liveries
The material types GTA_EMISSIVESTRONG and GTA_EMISSIVESTRONG_ALPHA have been added to be rendered with global UV animations, and GTA_HAIR_SORTED_ALPHA has also been added to work with the NPC hair alpha testing option

Usage and general Info

Run the game like normal or use the provided batch files (mentioned in the Wiki further down) if you notice heavy stuttering.
It's recommended to adjust distance and quality sliders in the GTA4 graphic options (higher values => earlier CPU bottleneck).
Try 30 for view distance and 40 for quality and adjust from there. The first launch might cause problems, simply re-try a second time.

Release 1.2.1

github-actions released this 10 Feb 16:45

v1.2.1

511c0a5

Changelog 1.2.1

I've pulled 1.2.0 because some of the new logic wasn't working as intended - fixed now.

Comp Mod / Misc

Fixed phone backgrounds completely - no more smearing

Spotlight cone and softness calculations were calculated incorrectly in prior versions which has now been fixed. Spotlight cones now properly resemble the original spotlight cones

Fixed an issue that caused the web browser to render nothing (caused by earlier changes to phone rendering code)
Disabled snow cheats on FF fork because they would result in a crash when they were used
Fixed missing moon lighting on a certain part of the map by tweaking bxwnomoon (timecyclemodifier)
Global intensity of lights has been increased to better match the lights of the original game

Added logic which decreases Sunlight and increases the Skylight for "bad weather" (rain, lightning, cloudy) to get more of an overcast look. Impact can be adjusted via the gui / settings.

Base Remix Mod / AutoPBR

Removed a bunch of simple overrides on the base mod in favor of AutoPBR overrides with proper textures
AutoPBR V2 with a bunch of new materials from various cutscenes and DLC's (~16k replacements / 24k texture files)

Older Changelogs:

Changelog 1.1.9

Comp Mod

Fixed phone smearing issue on all phones / themes (Background is still black tho)
Slight phone aspect ratio fixes
Backported a few things from AutoPBR branch
Installer now uses the highest version zip it finds instead of the first one (when multiple comp-mod zips are in the downloads folder)
Installer can now download and install the AutoPBR pack (optional)

Runtime

Update runtime to latest commit
Fixed puddle roughness issues
Puddles now clear normal info of materials below (noticed after AutoPBR)

Changelog 1.1.8

Enabled remix' horizon based fog and added logic to increase the horizon height based on camera fog
(to prevent a hard edge after a certain height)

Refactored light override and marker logic. Multiple .toml files with light overrides / markers can now be loaded from rtx_comp/light_tweaks / rtx_comp/markers. A-Z priority with earlier letters having higher priority.
Added the ability to add additional lights to an existing game light

Fixed the phone screen smearing issue and reduced fov impact on phone size

Enabled rtx.isShaderExecutionReorderingSupported in the rtx.conf to enable SER on supported systems
Blocked keyboard input to the game when imgui wants text input
The installer now creates a backup of the existing rtx.conf and comp_settings.toml

Changelog 1.1.7

Comp Mod

Fixed unbreakable sirens
Bar shaped sirens now have actual lights
Firetruck sirens now have actual lights (+ made firetruck sirens translucent)
Fixed a crashing issues on certain missions (see #49)
Added a tweaked timecyclemodifiers.dat to enable moon light everywhere
Added a setting to tweak intensity of the moonlight
Updated FF fork to re-enable fps counter + timecycle info
Updated Remix Runtime and fixed issues with per draw-call modifiers (instance issues - emissive flicker)
Fixed installer issues and added remix-mod downloading logic
Added code to prevent radar background flicker that could occur sometimes

Remix Mod

Added a PBR material for one type of sidewalk and corner variants (broker)
Added some road PBR materials (mostly generic asphalt) w/o albedo and a few damaged variants
Removed remix-mod files from the Compatibility Repo and put them here

Changelog (1.1.5 / 1.1.6)

Comp Mod

Disabled a game function that renders projected light coronas (because they are broken) and unhid the corona texture.
Doing this fixed things like:

Console now logs to a file (rtx_comp/logfile.txt)
Tagged more decal textures (thanks Thundery_Dan)
Fixed an issue that could make emissives flicker (not completely fixed everywhere)
Fixed disable raindrop option on translucent vehicle windows
Increased default sun volumetric influence to 2
Added an option to clamp the minimum bloom intensity at night
Ignored an original rain particle texture which was causing visual issues
ImGui layout improvements

Added an option (F4) to enable/disable expensive rain collision testing (disabled by default)

Added an option (F4) to enable wetness occlusion checks and mask smoothing

Note

Disable Wetness Occlusion Smoothing if you don't use DLSS-RR!
Performance impact of occlusion testing is expensive, disable it if you notice major slowdowns and report back!

Added a feature that creates a secondary set of lights (sphere lights) on sirens to slightly illuminate the sirens themselves.
Still not looking perfect. Remix translucent objects are hard to work with.
Modified police, police2 and ambulance game meshes to separate siren texture from other meshes (requires FusionFix)
This allows proper remix overwrites and they now look like this:

Remix Mod

Shortened asset paths to fix issues with installer
Fixed an issue where taxi's appeared too metallic
Rain particle tweaks
Multiple mesh and glass fixes (not a complete list, only a few examples - thanks CriticalHit_NL for reporting a bunch)

Bergen wood texture (because why not)

Runtime

Fixed particle system TLAS collision code
Added per-drawcall support for an emissive scalar on translucent materials

Installation:

Install using the installer (same when updating from prior versions):

Download GTAIV-Remix-CompatibilityMod-1.2.1.zip
Download GTAIV-Remix-CompMod-Installer.exe
Place both files in the same folder (no need to copy them to your game folder) and run GTAIV-Remix-CompMod-Installer.exe
Use the File Dialog to select your GTAIV.exe which is located in your GTAIV install folder
If this is your first time installing, the installer will ask if you want to install a custom Fork of FusionFix
If you already have FusionFix installed, it's definitely recommended to install this because the original, unmodified version has a few incompatibilities with RTX Remix. If you do not have FusionFix installed, you are free to choose. It's not a requirement...
