Mafia - Fan-made Mod Pack Fixes Game's Biggest Problems

On the occasion of the release of the full version of Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven on Steam for free, a modder has prepared a package of the most important fixes and improvements to this title.

On the occasion of the 20th birthday of Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven, the full version of this classic game can be picked up for free from Steam. Over the two decades that have passed since its release, fans have created a number of mods to improve this title. However, there are many of them and installing all of them would be time-consuming. Therefore, it is worth taking interest in the recently released modification called b0ys Essential Fixes.

The project collects the most important mods improving the first Mafia into one easy-to-install package . They were selected with Windows 10 and 11 in mind .. They do not significantly change the atmosphere of the game, but only fix the most serious problems.

Among other things, the mod makes the engine render objects at further distances.

Here are the features of the mod.

  1. Fixes flickering shadows.
  2. Improves the appearance of blood and textures.
  3. Makes the game render objects at longer distances.
  4. Fixes FoV (field of view) and performance issues.
  5. Fixes eye animation and restores scratches on car bodies. Interestingly, this was achieved by rolling back many elements of the game to version 1.0, as these problems only appeared after the updates.
  6. Restores the missing music, which was removed by the fact that finished license agreements were not renewed.

Recall that offer to get the game Mafia: The City of Lost Heaven for free will remain valid only until tomorrow. If you add the game to your Steam library before that date, it will remain there forever.
