Grand Theft Auto IV - DXVK v.2.2 - Game mod - Download

DXVK is an open-source tool by doitsujin.

It’s a Vulkan-based implementation of D3D9, D3D10 and D3D11 for Linux / Wine. It can also be used to improve performance of older games on Windows and that’s exactly what it does for GTA 4.

Instructions:

1.Make sure your GPU is Vulkan-capable and you have installed latest release or beta drivers for it!

2. Download DXVK. Extract the archive. Put d3d9.dll from dxvk-{version}\x32 subfolder to GTA IV folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV). File dxgi.dll from DXVK is optional on Windows as game will work without it and it may cause problems with DXVK 1.8.1 and above.

Add to commandline.txt line -availablevidmem {N} where N should be a little less than actual VRAM size e.g. for 2Gb GPU specify 1983 and not 2048 here.

Disable Vulkan shader caching in the Steam options (the tip contributed by user MiesThies). DXVK must be able to read/write to its state cache file and it is crucial for removing stutters, see "State cache"
