Edit 29.11.2025:
- Slightly updated the installer to hopefully prevent false positives
Installation:
Install using the installer:
-
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.exewith Admin Rights if your game folder is in some way protected -
Use the File Dialog to select your
GTAIV.exewhich is located in your GTAIV install folder -
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. -
Make sure that you remove all custom launch arguments for GTAIV in Steam (if you have any set)
Install manually:
-
Open the zip and extract all files contained inside the
GTAIV-Remix-CompatibilityModfolder into your GTAIV directory (next to theGTAIV.exe). Overwrite all when prompted. -
If you want to use FusionFix or have it installed already, it's definitely recommended to install my custom fork of FusionFix because the original, unmodified version has a few incompatibilities with RTX Remix.
You can find the files inside_installer_options/FusionFix_RTXRemixFork. Extract theplugins&updateinto your GTAIV directory and override any existing files.
Usage and general Info
Run the game like normal or use the provided batch files (mentioned 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 50 for view distance and 30 for quality and adjust from there. The first launch might cause problems, simply re-try a second time.
Press Alt + X to open the Remix menu
Press F4 to open the Compatibility Mod menu
Troubleshooting / Tips
-
Running Windowed
Open thecommandline.txtin the main game folder and add-windowed
If using FF: Adjust the Borderless setting in the game options to your liking
(plugins/GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix.cfg->BorderlessWindowed = 0/1) -
Forcing a Resolution (if something goes wrong with resolution selection)
Either go to your GTAIV folder and openrtx_comp/game_settings.toml(after running the game once)- Set
manual_game_resolution_enabledtotrue - Adjust the resolution using
manual_game_resolution = [ .. ]
OR Open the
commandline.txtin the main game folder and add-width 1920and-height 1080(adjust for your resolution) - Set
Issues / Performance / Tweaks
-
Stuttering
If you notice heavy stuttering, launch the game with the included_LaunchWithProcessorAffinity_2Cores_GTA4.bat
Doing this will assign 2 cores to GTA4 and the rest to Remix.
If you want a 50/50 split, use_LaunchWithProcessorAffinity_Half_GTA4__Half_Remix.bat -
Lower Pathtracing settings
Open the Remix menu by pressingAlt + Xand useGraphics Settings Menuat the top.
Switch to theGraphicstab and adjust theGraphics Presetdropdown to adjust various quality settings -
Alpha Settings for Trees
Open the CompMod menu by pressingF4and open theRendering Related Settingscontainer under theGame Settingstab.
Increasing theTree Alpha Cutout Valuevalue will improve performance but will make leafs look more blocky.
