Like for example, whenever playing Deathmatch, Team Deathmatch or Busted the game always crashes. I have no idea what could be causing this issue.

This crash doesn’t happen in Single Player though. I have tested that out. Only happens in Multiplayer.

Same thing for Races & GTA Races. They sometimes crash my game, whereas in Single Player once again, this never happens.

Hey! I also experience random crashes both in single and multiplayer modes. If it happens, it's usually just at the end of a loading screen.

It might be a bit drastic, but when the game starts messing up too frequently, I sometimes just reinstall everything from scratch.

Backup your saves (if you have any) in AppData/Local
Uninstall the game completely + delete the entire GTA IV installation folder
Uninstall GFWL components (LIVE Redistributable + Marketplace)
Uninstall (if applicable) Rockstar Games Launcher + Social Club (if installed)
Be careful not to tick the boxes to avoid losing your saves in games with the Rockstar Games Launcher (if you have any, of course)
Once the game and all the above components are properly uninstalled (including the complete removal of the GTA IV directory), do restart your PC

Then you're ready to redownload the game and start the downgrade procedure.

Personally, I followed this tutorial which works pretty well: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2827422884

The game runs relatively well in both solo and multiplayer for me.

You can also try enabling compatibility mode for older versions of Windows, like Windows 7.

The game is quite notorious for being unstable on many systems. Sometimes patience is required, what works for others might not necessarily work for you. You'll find a multitude of tutorials online to try and improve game stability.

So for example you're on Races but you switch to Deathmatch

#

Or in the middle of it

#

reading your message again I think you mean in the middle of it

#

create a crashlogs folder and send the crash log to Gillian if you crash

#

it could help him improve the patch from mods

#

so the crashing can stop for you

I’m damn sure, it’s one of the mods that’s causing a conflict with some other.

its fusionfix

#

why though i dont know

wary oracle
#

Using the stock renderer.

#

Just checked I’m on an older version of Fusion Fix.

#

v2.5.5

#

I most likely also borked Fusion Fix.

#

‘Cause I used a Patch for v2.5.6 whilst I’m on v2.5.5.

#

Lemme troubleshoot even further.
