GTA IV runs terribly on PC, however with DXVK, you can easily get the game running much better, greatly improving GTA IV's frame rate. #GTA #GrandTheftAuto #Mods

Looks like "Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition" (I'll never get over how stupid the name is), has some fixes on mobile as well as a "classic lighting" option to restore some atmosphere to the games, especially SA.

It looks like Rockstar have removed another song from the original version of San Andreas. The game is only available on the Rockstar Games Launcher now, and at some point recently, they updated it to remove "One Step Forward" by The Desert Rose Band. The file is empty now.

Another screenshot. Fog seems to be a bit denser, but I'm not sure if it's still just that awful 2D effect they added originally in a patch, which only appears at a height. Also you can really see them trying to recreate some of the PS2 colours here.

I just updated my downgrader to restore the old music, but the downgrader from Various Downgraders hasn't been updated yet. If you downgraded the RGL version of SA recently, K-Rose won't play any music, it'll just play ads. Downgrade again to fix this.

I mean, they supported an area of modding where major money was involved. They don't care about the modders who have been fixing their games on PC since they've released. They've even been hostiles towards modders who have done so.

Honestly it's shameful how Rockstar and Take-Two are treating these games, and it's shameful how they've left the Definitive Edition in the state it's in (yes they're playable, but they're still WELL below standard). These are the games that made them as big as they are today.

It’s frustrating when Admins and the site are openly praising Rockstar and doing promotion for them, when the mod community is the reason the original games have been kept alive so long.

I'm not sure exactly when they removed the song, but it must've been in the last few months. It wasn't this way in Summer 2023 when I last checked. The Definitive Edition also had K-Rose altered, so I assume it's only that song that's missing from DE K-Rose too.

First off, OG III/VC has an option for "trails", which adds motion blur and saturates the colours. I believe this has always been the way Rockstar intended these games to be played, so I'll be using this option in the comparisons. Left is trails off, right is trails on in OG VC.

You've likely heard downgrading this game is necessary too, but that's not the case for most users. Mod support for the Complete Edition has been growing rapidly and this version of the game can be the best version possible with just 2-3 essential mods.

@enemenemuh_kuh @tomwarren Agreed. Windows Insider has gotten so much worse in the last few years. The awful change from slow/fast insider rings, the complete lack of community, very few actual changes to Windows (10 to 11 was the biggest in like 3 years). The early Win10 and Win10 Mobile era was great.

Overall the classic lighting option in III/VC is definitely an improvement over the dullness of the PC/Console Definitive Edition, and the option doesn't have the same issues as it does in mobile SA DE. But it's still not that great and the fog effect really let's it down too.

If you don't know, classic lighting is an option in the mobile version of the DE release. It tries to restore the atmosphere of the OG games to the DE. It enhances the colours and adds a fog effect, which is completely missing in the PC/Console DE. Left is off, right is on.

The only issue I have really, is the fog just does not work well at all in the DE. The reduced farclip in the OG really makes the foggy weather work, as well as the 2D effects, but in mobile DE foggy weather looks no different to cloudy weather really. Foggy weather at 8AM.

I've just quickly tested San Andreas on a Pixel 6, it does not run well at all. Constant stutters even at lower resolutions, frame rate constantly dipping into the 20s and shadows for certain objects have extremely short draw distances. Might be different on other phones.

Don't get me wrong, it can look good at times (see below). But it's not nearly as dynamic as the fog (and farclip) in the original, which means it doesn't always work too well. Extrasunny weather at 6PM.

The OG games each had unique sun positions, I imagine Rockstar actually researched this and placed the sunrise/sunset in the correct spot for each location and their intended time of year. Weirdly though, the SA sun rises in the same position as the original, but sets elsewhere.
