Grand Theft Auto Grieving Thread - Yep, I've been drinkin' again...

[The Last Stand]

Two things though:
-nu-R* bringing back Phil should be considered as VI being non-canon.

That reminds me. Remember in GTA IV where that homeless tramp, Jerry, ended up finding the $2 million diamonds after The Ballad of Gay Tony? A news report said that he would take his new found wealth to Vice City to open a gun shop and liquor store. What if the Phil we saw from the second trailer turns out to be a character of Jerry's making? When I say character, I mean like a mascot of sorts for his gun shop. I would hope that we'd see Jerry back in GTA VI.

Anyone here have any experience with getting GTA IV to run smoothly on a modern machine? I'm running Fusion fix with dxvk and I'm experiencing micro-stutters and substantial fps drops when zooming down the highway, with drops all the way down to 30 fps.

What are your specs? GTAIV is notoriously bad with performance, but 30fps with dxvk doesn't sound right.

Ryzen 5 3600X, RTX 3070 (4gb vram), 16 gigs of RAM and I'm running the thing off of an SSD

A toaster by all means, but I get better performance in V than I do in IV...

You've got a better PC than this guy and he seems to be able to hit 60+ no problems. Have you tried limiting fps to 60?

well now you run into the problem of gta 4 tying physics and animations to the framerate and how that'll start really fucking shit up during certain parts of the game because it wasnt meant to be played at over 30 fps

GTAIV runs fine at 60fps.

480p so Null doesn't hunt me down

The whole thing just feels off

edit: playing around with the view distance / detail sliders yielded much better results.

Do you have any weird nvidia driver settings on? Tried updating drivers and resetting settings to default? I'd try Vsync off too and see if that changes anything.
You're gonna have to troubleshoot it unfortunately.

Eh, it could just be him in an alternate universe. He has his arm unlike in GTA III.

Sadly, no. I gave up when I got the same thing, where I got less performance with DXVK for some reason.

FusionFix fixes that if you're on 1.0.8.0 and earlier, and the Complete Edition has it fixed too. The only version that doesn't have it fixed now is the Xbox One/Series release.

What excites me is how much Rockstar nailed South Florida. It’s a Florida man/woman simulator and can’t wait to feed a bunch of troons to some gators.

IF those kind of NPCs are even in the game. If not, well, you got a diverse cast to use for gator food. (Fun fact, Mafia III allowed you to feed people to the gators.) If you can do that in VI, that'd be cool as hell.

there is no way in hell you are going to be able to do that

I'd like rampages to return in GTA VI. It's basically a series staple that only IV did not have for whatever reason.

Yeah, me too.

Don't get me wrong. I think it looks very nice, and I'm not gonna downplay the work that went into making it that, but I'm not blown away by it because we've seen these kind of hyper-realistic graphics for almost a decade now.

The high fidelity didn’t do much for me. But just how smooth and lifelike the animations were is awesome. Plus the scenery looks amazing and oozes South Florida.

 

[jje100010001]

Definitely so that the graphic fidelity has risen across the industry but to me, the overall package (lighting, cohesion between elements, art direction) and world simulation systems will be more interesting IMO.

 

[Jace on ice]

Those faces in the trailer look photorealistic. I can achieve something similar on Cyberpunk if I run it on ultra settings with ray tracing on + mods but it makes my PC sound like a jet engine and so hot to the touch it causes burns.

There is absolutely no way the released product doesn't get severely downgraded, something that looks like this can't run on consoles or the vast majority of PCs.

The closest thing talk radio akin to Chatterbox FM from GTA 3 today would be podcasts. I listen to Lazlow (and radio hosts) talk about ad space for radio airspace. That would definitely fit in with today's monetized world with content creation, MORE SO now than then from experience.
