GTA IV: Always been on patch 1.0.4.0 - Any benefits patching to 1.0.7.0?

OcUk can you advise please

Ive been on GTAIV patched to 1.4, games runnin nice and smooth. But cant help noticing Patch 1.7

Is there any benefit to that one? Or does it break mods and cause other kinds of mayhem? :confused:

I get v mixed messages so thats why Im on here, hope to hear from the GTAIV gamers...

Does 1.7 give more options or something? More control over the game?

Or should I just not mess with something thats not broken?

Thanks

Thanks trickycurve - I think I'll stick with 1.4 then

1.0.7.0 has the advantage of breaking every single mod in existence. other than that it doesnt do a lot

Patch v1.0.4.0 is more system friendly fps wise, especially with older gen gfx cards.

Most decent mods now work fine with v1.0.7.0 and EFLC v1.1.2.0, with powerful current gen setup you should not have any problems running v1.0.7.0 smoothly.

Hmm thats interesting m8, thanks. I have imaged my HD and Im gonna clone it once I get another internal HD. Maybe after that I can experiment with 1.7

But yea for now 1.4 is staying, game is running really well and looks awesome thanks to ENB.

Is ICenhancer just a tweaked ENB config file?

You can't downgrade - AFAIK if you install a patch you dont like you have to do a complete reinstall

How does the Steam version differ from the retail DVD version?
