Guys, please do yourself a favor and download Dxvk plugin for this game. It's a Vulkan translation layer that has the potential to double your framerate. Yes, a program meant for Linux-to-Vulkan api makes GTA IV, a non-Vulkan game, run better on Windows - that's what a disaster this games coding is. You simply download dxvk, go into the x32 folder located in the zip file and then cut/copy d3d9.dll and dxgi.dll and...

The game is still on Steam, but the ability to purchase it has been removed. A spokesperson from Rockstar explains why: "Grand Theft Auto 4 was originally created for the Games For Windows Live platform. With Microsoft no longer supporting Games For Windows Live, it is no longer possible to generate the additional keys needed to continue selling the current version of the game," a Rockstar representative said. "We...

GTA IV holds a special place among open-world games. Its story is deep, the characters are compelling, and Liberty City’s atmosphere is amazing. I definitely recommend buying and playing it! I started this year on my Steam Deck, and it runs really well with no FPS issues. I just finished the story for the first time in 2025, and even though the game is quite old, it’s still incredible.

“The American Dream comes with a body count.” This is Rockstar’s most mature, most honest game. There’s no Vinewood, no satire. Just Liberty City, dark and cold, pulsing with corruption and concrete. Niko Bellic isn’t flashy. He’s haunted. A war veteran trying to wash off blood with more blood. The story is heavy, the weight of consequence never lets up. Choices sting. Death has meaning. You feel the loneliness in...

Hi... I am writing this review after playing for over 100 hours, and I can confidently say that GTA IV has the best story in the entire GTA franchise. I loved the game so much that I grinded out 100% of the Steam achievements. Everyone should play this masterpiece at least once to see what Rockstar cooked up before GTA V. However, if you are playing on a modern PC, there are a few things you need to know: 1....

This is Rockstar's Magnum Opus. A highly underrated and gritty entry in the GTA series. If you're going to play it then be sure to download the following. 1. DXVK 2. FusionFix 3. Lossless Scaling (£5 on Steam - introduces Frame Generation to squeeze out some FPS stability) 4. Radio Restorer for the original music

I was unsure if I should get the GTA 4 again on PC after seeing all the issues users were having on steam. I saw people saying that had too download all these various files and thought it too much of a hassle. Plus the games for windows that seemed to have everyone up in arms. I run a windows 10 machine which can easily run GTA 5 so no hardware issues. However I thought I'd give it a shot. I knew this was an older...

Don't be fooled by everybody stating that it's a bad port and you shouldn't buy it. It is an awful port, but there is a mod called Fusion Fix that's really easy to instal. After that, it's a perfect experience on modern hardware. Solid 60/120 FPS experience (there are 2 missions that can only be played on 30fps), ultrawide support on my Odyssey G9 screen and decent mod support via nexus (Liberty Rush, Project...
