Only problem is, my screen is flickering now :\

Oh great, I've just tried the car pack and I'm getting the TAXI bug! Nothing but Taxi's and one car type. :(

Any ideas for fixes?

You could try using TrafficFlow and TrafficControlSystem.

I use these two mods together, it makes the traffic quite random instead of all the same cars which is nice. It should also fix the taxi bug but I’m not sure as I don’t have that bug right now but you could give it ago.

TrafficFlow Description said:
TrafficFlow is a list of 20 vehicle models that comprise the 'vehicle pool' which Traffic Flow will randomly select 3 vehicles from every 15 seconds to load into the game's memory. Also makes Emergency services respond to calls throughout the city.

Although it only allows 20 models it seems to work quite nice, I've set mine up so it spawns various different types of cars which give the traffic a nice 'real' feeling. This should also hopefully fix your taxi issue.

TrafficControlSystem Description said:
This script adds AI based traffic with a random selection of vehicles. This does not “remove” the taxi bug but does make the traffic look proper. If you wish to lower taxi spawns lower your traffic density. This mod has been tested with LCPDFR and ELS of which are compatible. Please take in consideration that this will greatly raise your resource requirements when spawning a high density of traffic plus the AI cars if you experience lag lower your graphics settings.

Although the TrafficControlSystem doesn’t directly fix the taxi bug combining both these mods together should fix it. It’ll also make the traffic quite nice and random.

I've uploaded a pack with both mods including instructions on how to get this working.

Hopefully this will help you and fix that bug!

Dons - If it is against the rules posting this please remove this post!
 
Nice work Mayfair!!

Unfortunately something went pop and the game would crash on startup. I even tried deleting the modded version and copying over my vanilla backup. Didn't make any difference, every time it would crash immediately after the black screen with white text at the start.

I had to download the entire thing again and haven't touched it since. No idea what caused such a fatal error.

EDIT: Just had a quick bash on the vanilla version... all the characters are invisible now! How is this possible from only replacing the vehicles.iso and a few of the common files?!!?!

Interesting. I didn't delete anything and the lighting would turn from extremely high then right down to pitch black. It did that a few times before the crashing began. Keep your fingers crossed!
 
Right mine is all working with this and modded car pack my old save doesn't work with new car pack get a smpa60 fatal error, so starting a new game again but do have the taxi bug lol, So will try out the fix above :)

I just need to see if my puny 470 can have a little AA :p
 
I'm being lazy and don't want to trawl through this whole thread,
what is the nicest looking mod for a steam version of GTA, I'm playing the two DLC if it makes a difference.

If your using the scripthook and scripthookdotnet make sure you have .net 4 installed and also the c++ redistributable packages.

Also if you’re using the iCEnhancer mod, make sure you don’t have anything running that utilises d3d. MSI Afterburner , xfire , EVGA Precision , any OSD applications etc.

I found if you have any d3d applications running in the background while using iCEnhancer the game will crash at the first white text screen. Same also happened if you are using the wrong scriphook or don’t have .net 4 installed.

Make sure if you’re running patch 1.0.4.0 to use the supplied 1.0.4.0 scripthook, otherwise using the other version of scripthook I found it caused the game to crash at the first white text screen.

Hope this helps.

Have you checked to make sure the scripts are being loaded correctly?

If you go into your GTA IV folder, there should be a ScriptHookDotNet.log and ScriptHook.log check these files to make sure it’s getting loaded correctly without any errors.

Hope this helps.

Just been playing this icehancer mod and I must say it does make GTA4 look very impressive, much better than the original graphics. At some times during the day cycle, like in the afternoon, the lighting is spot on. Some scenes indoors dont look as good but when driving around the city it looks damn good, and at night, wow! Definately a recommended mod.

Seems to run fine on my rig, i5 2500k, 4 gig ram and 1gig GTX460, I havent run HW Monitor in the background to check temps but Im getting no artifacts etc. The gpu fan definately kicks in when playing but it does whenever I play any game, it is also quite hot indoors at the mo too.
 
iCEnhancer 1.25 has been released!

Linky

Unfortunately I'm not back home until the weekend - so if anyone can give this a try with the Steam version and report - that'll be great! :)
