Fusion OverLoader - A ModLoader for GTA IV
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 чер 2024
- Fusion OverLoader is a ModLoader for GTA IV, and it makes modding GTA IV extremely easy, especially once you know what you're doing. So let's go over it and learn all there is to know!
Special thanks to @ash735 for helping with this video.
-----
NOTES/UPDATES:
- Unfortunately I wasn't aware of the IMG limit at the time of making this video. But just to note, GTA IV has an IMG limit of 255, and the IMG archives in Fusion OverLoader, will count towards that limit. I believe the game uses around 200 IMG archives by default, allowing you to add 50 or so to Fusion OverLoader, so it should be more than enough.
- I mention FusionFix only supports the Complete Edition of GTA IV. However white I was working on this video, the mod received support for 1.0.7.0 and 1.0.8.0.
However, installation is slightly different. You need to rename the Ultimate ASI Loader .dll from "dinput8.dll" to "xlive.dll".
You'll also need to install xLivelessAddon, I'll link it below.
github.com/gtamodding/xlivele...
Keep in mind though, it doesn't work with ZolikaPatch by default. You'll have to disable options in ZolikaPatch that interfere with Fusion Fix.

Well..
That means is not possible to Use APC in Gta IV base?
Correction; they still can run together on patch 8. You just have to disable specific options on ZP's .ini file that has the exact functionality that FF also uses, such as BorderlessWindowed, etc.
@@Meesmoth Thank you! Noted.
@@Meesmoth @TJGM how do I do that?
What options? I need the specific ones. @@Meesmoth
Man, this just makes modding gta iv so much easier, in-fact this is on-par with the likes of modding gta v. Instead of a folder named "mods" it's called "update" for gta iv. Great Video TJGM, I've being modding gta iv for the last few months now, using vehicle mods as it seems that gta v is kinda broken when installing vehicles mods. I'll most definitely be using this method of modding gta iv from now on. Thanks for taking the time to show us how it's done. PS keep up the good work!!! :)
The only thing I hate about installing mods in gta 5 is that you need to copy the whole directory of files to the mods folder. So if you are installing a lot of car mods that will make the game weight 200 gigabytes instead of 100 gigabytes even though the car mods combined can only weight like 25 gigabytes. Installing is pretty easy though using the openiv, don’t have any problems with that.
@@sivachenko true, however if said user was to install other mods like weapons, sounds, graphics, etc then it's best to mirror the gta 5 files into "mods" folder for ease, that way if installing a mod you won't be subject to missing dependant files that are needed by such mod to function properly.
seriously man you're a godsend for making these videos, not only helping those who wish to mod this game for the first time but also sharing info that makes the process easier, gta4 moding videos are hard to come by with this level of detail so thank you a million
This is very helpful. Thank you a lot. And that was a great explanation, it's also good to know how things work. ✌
no way 2 euros? W
Great video as always, TJ! Just like with GTA SA, I'm following your videos to have a good modded setup to play older GTA titles. Can't wait for what's next!
TJGM is a true godsend! Appreciate your hard work.
wow I'm so glad there's a mod loader now. I remember losing my mind over installing the New York city mod lol
Many thanks for this crash course and covering all possible mod installation scenarios! This is an absolutely handy guide that should help all new and returning mod users in getting started! :3
im glad i saw this, gta iv is still my favorite game in the series
Been playing IV the past couple weeks, first time since February. Man idk what rockstar did but the new social club/launcher updates have made the game run noticeably worse on both my PC and steam deck. Appreciate the vid!
Another great video!
Thanks a lot, btw if i just install fusion overloader, does it have all things i need for my pc version look like the ps one?
Do you plan to do an ultimate modding guide playlist for GTA 4 just like you did for GTA SA?
It would help a lot beginners and perhaps take advantage of GTA 6 hype that is going on now
I have 2 questions:
1. What would I do with addon versions of carcols, handling, vehOff, and vehicles.ide if I were adding addon vehicles
2. Would addon vehicles work this way or would I have to stick to the original method for addon vehicles
I am a little slow so maybe it's obvious or maybe it isn't but, I do want to be careful and make sure I do everything correctly
Great question although he said imgs
Zolika left the chat
Xolika left gta modding long ago, also his mods dont support with complete edition.
Xolika?
I'm talking about "zolika1351"
Btw you're right, his mods don't support CE.
@@Sibil_talathey actually do support the CE I own it and use his mod menu and patch and I have 0 issues and I've run them both on the normal steam version and downgraded versions
@@theunhingedgamer3762why using zolikapatch on CE when it fixes stuff that's only in 1040-1080 like multiplayer gfwl related? Btw i don't like all the personal drama between modders, community has to join up and deliver the best gta iv experience.
@@Sibil_tala That was a typo.
Great vid. Could you make another showcasing your top 10 favorite fusion overloader mods with their respective installation instructions? Finally not afraid to mod with this modloader.
Thanks for the Video. 👌 I am completely new to gta 4 modding and will try to make these mods work 😅 Liberty Rush, Potential Grim, brake lights, project birds, project thunder
TJGM, excellent video as always, very detailed, very well explained, very helpful 👍🏽
Question: Do you happen to know if the GTA IV Radio Downgrader includes the *latest* version of Fusion Fix which you can install along with it if you tick the corresponding box?
Kind regards.
Thank you!
It comes with Fusion Fix, but it's likely going to be outdated regularly due to Fusion Fix getting updates fairly often, so I'd recommend just downloading Fusion Fix on its own from GitHub.
@@TJGM Thanks a lot, tbh I thought so, I just wanted to be sure. And please keep it up, bye.
@@TJGMit wont get outdated, it downloads the latest version of fusionfix instead of being bundled with it
@@Sum_YousahApologies, I'm actually wrong about that. 😅
Radio restoration pulls the latest release of Fusion Fix from GitHub, so it's always updated.
@@TJGM That's cool, makes things easier, thx!
Ура, это произошло! Спасибо, пойду устанавливать GTA IV.
With FusionFix 2.2, Higher Definition Vehicle Pack 2.0 and the "Project2DFXv4.5" mod that I added (long-range headlights like in GTA 5!), the game looks very nice with only three mods and without installing OpenIV.
Regarding mods that are not built for the update folder, how are files that are meant to go in the games directory dealt with? Do they just go loose in the update folder, or should they be in their own folder?
That's exacly my question, i want to install Farnsworth's Business Mod, Robbery mod and real_recoil mod - but i have no idea how to make them work...
@@TheCobraman22 bro did you solved it? I placed the buisness mod in data folder like he showed in video, and it started a new game for me
This is excellent, I remember spending hours just trying to install some mods because I had no idea how modding worked for GTA IV.
One question, do the mods Liberty Rush, Potential Grim, VPA, and Responsive Plus work on this? Thank you so much.
I was wondering the same thing
every possible mod should work with the overloader, just make sure the directories are properly set for all the files
@@ces1827 Well yeh but those mods require a ton of tinkering to get them to work, was wondering if I could just drag n drop the files like in SA modloader
@@dra-dragonix1406 nah u cant and mods like those are very tedious to get working on ur game anyway, it's best to stick to graphic mods, texture mods, anim mods, sound mods and trainers, these big "overhaul" ones are really buggy and especially if u have the steam version of the game like me, u wont be able to even install them because of fastmanlimitadjuster which requires a diff version, just dont install those mods as good as they are, even on SA it can crash ur game unknowingly
Very nice and informative, id like to know, for single car mods that come with custom handling, colors and sounds i have to create a new handling mirror archive with all of the stock information and add in the mod's handling code or it can be just for that mod?
Wow that’s cool
it is so amazing
I really want to keep using the complete edition, because im getting better fps. But 1.7 has the ability to run the first person mod, and so far no one has made one for complete edition.
I've read the Xliveless plugins won't work with Ultimate ASI loader plugins. This is a problem since I would like to install Project2DFX, but it says that it requires Xliveless. But Xliveless says I must remove ASI loaders first.
good stuff, btw really need to ask about asi and cs mods, can they work with only fusion overloader and if so how to do so?
so if I understand correctly "Fusion Overloader" is actually "FusionFix" ?
Good video btw so much better then using the old tedious way of OpenIV
Im.just about to start modding gta 4 i cant wait
question, so lets say I am downloading potential grim (which has various plug ins) im just replicating the file set up in my update folder?
genial amigo, saludos desde argentina
So do you still recommend playing the ce or the 10.7.0 now that they have support with fusionfix
I have Fusion Fix and ultimate asi loader installed, when I boot the game up it shows the in game startup EULA messages and plays the gta 4 load screen music, then instantly crashes. Anytips to resolve?
can you give us a mod tutorial on how to download the GTA Mixed and GTA V HUD mod on your GTA San Andreas modding series.... as I added the essentials but the game crashed.
u gonna make a modlist thats supportig fusion ?
Man, even so, even with Fusion Fx installed, only taxis appear and a random vehicle model that repeats
and the police car
only 3 cars in the game, how to solve this?
Can the update folder be used for add real cars?
Hoping you can help... How would one go about installing script mods via fusion loader? I'm trying to install Liberty's Legacy trainer, and it requires script hook. How can I make these compatible with one another? Normally you would drag scripthook and the Liberty Legacy files to the root, but I'm not sure how to get these two to work together, as my game will not launch with both installed.
I am wondering about this as well. Hope anyone can help us
i've installed the vehicle pack from the description and the game now has an absurd amount of taxis everywhere. i'm on the complete edition and i'd just like some vehicle variety
Check the FusionFix configuration file and change the vehicle budget to the example shown in the configuration file.
@@TJGM that fixed it thanks
@@william8853 how did you do it? I am having the same problem
X:\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\plugins
then set VehicleBudget = 260000000
@@william8853 it worked. thanks man
Hi! Hopefully someone reads this comment. I've been trying to make zolika's trainer work with this but it seems like an impossible task. I even tried downgrading the game and it just blew up straight away, had to reinstall everything. You do say in this vid that with the fusion overloader method you don't have to downgrade the game, but I don't think any mod I've tried except for fusionfix itself works with the game's current steam version. Any solutions? I'm completely new to modding, it has been a frustrating experience to say the least.
🗽GTA 4 TOP 🙂
hi the last version of today still working for 1070 and 1080?
just rename dimput8 to xlive?
I have the ash's hi-res vehicles pack but I want to add a modded car, do I modify the vehicles pack (eg. me putting the add-on car in the .img) or is there any other way? (another question, I have a realistic handling mod installed, again, do I modify it to add data lines of the add-on car?) Great video, as always
It's up to you, you CAN throw the other mods vehicle into my IMG and it'll load, but you can also use the priority method by throwing the vehicle inside its own IMG and have that load before my pack instead, that way it'll be easier to remove or swap out in future if you want to change things up.
@@ash735 The man himself, thank you for the answer and making a great mod
Also, I just now rewatched the video and I already understand of where to put the data lines included with the mod
@@ash735 Great job Ash! Your mod is very beautiful. Thank you so much !
How do I know when a mod support Fusion Overload?
Had a problem with launching the game
It keeps saying I'm running backwards compatibility on FusionFix mod, I already have the most recent ASI Loader and xliveless addon but it still gives the same message
when i installed fussion fix the game doesn't save data ? can solve ?
super usefull mods, thank you! just have a problem that when I minimize the game I cant go back, it all appears black, any solution?
does the last part of the video applies to graphics mods also?! please help my game doesn't want to start
so i downloaded fusion overloader and put the files into my game files, i changed the dll from dinput 8 to xlive and installed xliveless and it still doesnt work.
i dont want to change the graphics of the game, i just want cutscenes that work above 30 fps
So how does this work for something like the car shop mod?
Where it has .ini files and a .dll file?
why isnt the mod archive showing up?
Aw shucks! If only FusionFix not needed for Fusion Overloader. I'm not using it due to performance issue. FPS dropped to 20s to 30FPS. Combined this with DXVK made my FPS lower lol. Before that it's 35+ FPS constant.
after installing some mods, how should i launch the game? Through steam or the GTAIV.exe file?
Is there any way to use liberty's legacy or any other mod menu with fusion?
Where do you get IMG mods though? I'm looking at car mods and none of them are IMG files. Very confused.
Hello friend, if possible, could you make a tutorial on how to install Farnsworth Business Mod?
Very unlikely, I've already got so much to do. But you never know 😅
How do you install weapon skins? I tried mirroring the files and placed the two files to change the M4 skin, but it didn't do anyhting. I stll have the stock M4 model, any ideas or help please?
Brother, do you know of any trainer that works with this? Thanks!!
can you make a video of installing icenhancer becuase whenever i do so, it doesnt work and the specs on my pc is compatible
i dont get it, so fusion fix is fusion overloader or what am i missing?
i’m not sure how to drag the mods into gta iv. when i go to “my pc” it doesn’t show gta there
Hey, you said that FusionFix supports 1070 and 1080 now, but in the latest release version, it still only supports the complete edition. Any insight on that? thanks
Sorry, I was waiting on some additional information. I've updated the pinned comment with more details on how to get it working.
@@TJGMthank you
I tried and during each attempt, it crashes during loading screen. @@TJGM
Nice Is this Linux compatible? (New to pc gaming)
turn to windows.. if you not work with Linux.
Try it out... WINE supports a mass of old games, 99,99% it supports GTAIV, and this mod isn't changing the game radically.
That is fucking terrible advice@@marcosvieira6149
i have fusionfix working on my steam deck. just add "WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command%" (no quotes) to your steam launch options line for GTA IV
@@marcosvieira6149 don't listen to this guy
Wow finally, Gta sa with mod loader was so easy to work now they got it for Iv too. Sadly Gta v is still pain in the ass to mod.
Would this work with ELS V8.5.1?
Just installed the game, I’m using FusionFix and the cutscenes are still capped at 30 FPS and look choppy, is this normal or am I doing something wrong? gameplay runs at solid 60FPS. Can I fix it?
You have to modify the config to change cutscene fps
Why when I try to put something in update does the game just not start?
if the mod that i have its only 1 file and it need to be place inside .img where the original .img has multiple files inside, can i just create the .img with that single file and fusion will load this single file inside .img i create and the rest of the files from the original and will work? or should i make a copy of the original and placed it in fusion and add the file there?
Hey, I installed openIV how do I create the update.img?
@@HeinzenHistory to create .img u need the software OpenIV
You can just create an IMG archive with the one file, you don't need all the other files, they'll still get loaded from their original IMG archive.
The IMG archive inside Fusion OverLoader can also be named whatever you want for better organisation, it doesn't have to have the same name as the original.
You can add multiple files from different IMG archives into one IMG archive inside Fusion OverLoader and it'll work perfectly too.
@@DomEscalante34 so I’m in the update folder with the software I am right clicking and it still doesn’t show create button
I already installed fusion overloaded does that already have an img?
When I mod complete edition it just load the base game everytime I run the game. I am unable to play expansions it have.
Pause the game, go to the game section in the pause menu.
I don't really want to turn your comment section into this but do you know of a speedometer or cheat menu I just got GTA IV complete edition on Steam because the Xbox 360 versions you can no longer save as of the 2nd of April and the first thing I want to do with this PC version is quality of life or mode menu.
Does fusion overloader work for script mods on CE? Thanks for all you do!!
Just install script mods the same way as always, OverLoader is only for modified game files.
can i use this with the downgrade? i just want liberty rush with it
I need help. I have the complete edition on Rockstar games launcher, but the game won't start. If I delete the files, the game will launch
Any solutions?
if so , how can i install a mod menu then ? just the normal process
What about scripts mod for latest version of complete edition on steam ? Thanks
How could I pair this with scripts, specifically for 'scripthook'. Does FusionFix support that in any way? Am I misinterpreting something
It's only for game files, scripts still go where they've always gone.
i have the same issue, installing mod like Farnsworth's Business Mod, for some reason when i install scripthook and mods - it boots up the game and it works fine but mod doesn't load up.. @@TJGM
bro how to fix save game fail ? I'm using steam version and I can't save my progress...
i have the same problem... did you fix?
nope@@distortedxmemories
How can we add new vehicles instead of replace
Fusionfix latest wont let me save the game
This mod has a similar character to GTA5's Mods folder
I kinda wish there was something like this in GTA SA.🤔
doesn't work, rockstar version and downgraded to 10.7.0 but after putting the fusionfix files it doesn't run
has anyone tried installing graphics mod like iCenhancer 3.0 using fusion overloader?
1:45 Additional requirement: Decent laptop or PC specifications that were released in the last 5-6 years. Old iGPUs are not recommended. I cannot use the overloader feature because FusionFix's console-like effects and other graphical improvements cannot be disabled for stable framerate on a low-end laptop.
Better to save up money and buy a Vulkan-compatible GPU for the DXVK plugin, because that's what the authors of FF consider all users must be using, but does not mention it's required explicitly for other GPU-tensing graphical features. It's a pity essential features like these are pretty much indirectly locked because the graphical improvements featured, make the gaming experience a hell for gamers like me. :(
Fusion OverLoader will still work. Just delete the files in the update folder that come with Fusion Fix.
Fusion Overloader is made possible through the FusionFix plugin and Ultimate ASI Loader. Most of the graphical improvements are done through shaders, which you just have to remove yourself in the update folder.
@@TJGM Off-topic sorry but do you have a recommendation for a trainer that'll work with FF? I've tried Liberty Legacy trainer and it doesn't appear to work. I'd love to have a working trainer so I can easily cache as fast as possible
@@TJGM That's shocking. The last time I used the FF overloader with the whole shaders update out, it crashed my game every time. Now, it worked just fine.
fusion fix graphics options were NOT there no Depth of field or Anything
my fps is single digit now! how tf! please help!
what about script mods?
i got the taxi bug, what a headache
How do u know if a mod is supporting fusionovloader
It'll say in the mods installation instructions and you'll always know by the way the mod is packaged.
@@TJGM nice ok my mistake then i didn’t understood that
But if doesn't come as supported, either you put file structure of mods or create your own img file if it requires it.
This is literally how you mod gta v
Yes but now supports the janky ass GTA IV pc port? Isnt that great?
god damn this is a huge pain
does this work for ANY GTA 4 version?
I believe it only works for the complete edition
We need the same thing for GTA 5
@TJGM Make an update video please
What about script mods?
Excuse me can you make a vid for pirated gta iv
OpenIV link please?
Search in your browser, is easy
Sorry, forgot to add it to the description. It's there now. :)
@@TJGMNo worries and thanks for the tutorial!
i cant make a iso so im at a loss
Oh well, time to reinstall gta 4
FusionFix ain't work at all...
I did exactly everything said in this video.
I even tried what was said in the pinned comment and nothing works!!
I have gta iv the complete edition on steam and once I install Fusion fx, when starting the game it puts the Rockstar games launcher and then it closes and the game never launches.
I wanted to put back the old deleted music from GTA IV and man I thought it was going to be a simple drag and drop but it's SUPER complicated I'm fed up with this game.
have you verified your game files through steam? could be that something got replaced or corrupted
i got the exact same problem, everything works but when i add the 3 things for fusion fix the game wont start. if you got a solution for this please tell me
Issue I have here is game doesn't want to start or always crashes during loading screen. In that case, after adding xlivelessaddon, it asks me to launch through LaunchGTAIV.exe. I ended up being using Zolika with v.1.96
