Wow, it's like it got worse from the last build.ActionRemix
2.0 aims for a balance of performance and graphics. This is the most stable build of this mod yet. If you want to maximize GTA IV graphically while cutting performance down severely there are other ENB variants that do that.

Icenhancer uses ENB, and ENB is meant to be used on GTA IV v1.0.4.0 or v.1.0.0.4 (patch 4 or 5). I'd really recommend that at least for the base game you downgrade to those versions, and for EFLC, well, you're outta luck. Double check that you've installed the filecheck fix, are using xliveless, and have followed the instructions in the readme to the letter.princeofshapeir
That didn't even work.:?

What instructions, I just had to copy and paste the files, there really isn't much of a readme.

So they optimized this for a card weaker than GTX 470? Can I play GTA: Episodes from Flickery City on my laptop?

If you couldn't run Icenhancer before you probably won't be able to run it now. What I'm saying is that it tries to stabilize frame rates and stuttering while still looking pretty, and the increase in performance will be noticeable for those who could run previous versions moderately well.

It's looking pretty rough even though it used to look excellent. Even the GTA 5 trailer looks better.

I agree, but it's going to at least be playable instead of exist as screenshot eye candy for the majority of players.

Gotta love the way the creator markets his mod....using shots of modded cars and textures that arent part of his mod and making them like 90% of his screens, instead of showing what the mod itself does to the base game and how it improves it or alters, it's like he's showing off his shiny reflections on other people's car models.

There's beta footage of other effects, and previous versions show the other graphical improvements like improved flames and smoke and water and explosions

Fact is Piracy is far more rampant on consoles. Look at your used game section at your local gamestop. Fact is you consolites are bigger pirates than pc gamers.

HAHAHAHA!! keep telling yourself that.

Yes, I finally got this mod to work. Too bad at 1920x1200 it lowers my FPS like this pic, but at lower resolution I get higher FPS.

I had to mess with the files so it should look different if I screw around more.

Is it still a boring game? If so, I wouldn't call this an "improvement".

Is it just me, or did that look worse than the pics/vids I saw of the mod before (assuming the old stuff was version 1.0).

good luck running it at an acceptable framerate

aleuni

I guess I have good luck then. Playing at a framerate almost twice the console version while also at a resolution twice that of the console version... so yea... I got good luck I guess.

whats your spec?

i5 2500k (with a Cooler Master 212 Plus), EVGA 560ti 2Win, Asus Sabertooth mobo, and 8GB RAM all at stock speeds.

EDIT: I guess I should add that my settings are not at max, sorry if it came across like I had AA set to x16 or x32 or something like that since for me, anything beyond x8 is overkill and x4 is just fine.

Maybe at 720 and 30 frames per second, but at 1080 (or more) and beyond 30 fps I too doubt it.

If this is what we have to look forward to by the end of next gen...next gen will surely suck. ICE 1.5 and Crysis Extreme Immersion Mod blow this away.

It looks great but GTAIV doesn't need mods to stay alive, the game is good enough to have plenty of people still playing it.
