Ive noticed since the 2.0 mod my fans on my PC run loud all the time now while playing. Last night my roomate was on it for about 3 hours. The game crashed abruptly to a black screen,(this game never has crashed before) Then I just tried to put on a video and the colors were all weird like the GPU was tweaked. I turned off PC for the night.
Right now video is playing fine. Haven't played a game yet but honestly afraid to play GTA with 2.0. Might revert to original.
v1.04 I installed the d3d9 in file that says "6. I'm afraid of overheating"
I have the Mid-End settings installed. (yes mid with a 570) Mods are car pack from RealizmIV 6.2 and DKT70 Road-textures
EVGA 570 GTX AMD Phenom II X4 980 Black Edition Deneb 3.7GHz 16GB ram G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 650w OCZ PSU windows 7 64 bit

Try running kombustor. The fact that you got some artifacting (the weirds colors you mentioned) might point towards possible overheating or GPU failure. Also check your cpu/video card's temperatures when running games.

yeah, being the fan blasts while playing this with 2.0 leads me to believe it is overheating my GPU.....this is a great looking game with or without this mod. Actually the mod adds too much enhanced colors and lighting effect for my taste, that makes it a little unreal.
I'm done with this mod. You guys have fun. I paid $375 for my video card and dont want to blow it up for a little bit of graphic adjustment, so you guys have fun with it. I like to play my games 1920x1080 and max out settings so I'll be good.
Thanx for the hard work on this mod icelaglace, was fun while it lasted.

Lol, you don't know much about graphics then though. Icenhancer 2.0 isn't really to my likin' 'cause I prefer over the top stuff. But Icenhancer 2.0 is really realistic, unmodded GTA IV is the ugliest game in the world...

"GTA IV is the ugliest game in the world" (do you realise what forum you are on)
That is actually kinda funny......do you realise this game came out 4 years ago, and was absolutelly amazing at the time. This game was way ahead of it's time. PC's and consoles were not fast enough to keep up with it. If you were to put this game on the xbo the game would hurt your eyes. But the pc can runs @ 1920 and the game looks amazing with or without mods....This game recieved a 10 on Gamespot in '08

Well customgtp I actually got a hard reset, and a blue screen running 2.0 yesterday. And in 1.0.4.0, not even EFLC!!! So i've decided to take a break from the mod for now. Went back to vanilla with forced AA from the driver level. Catalyst control center actually impressed me! I get my performance back and the stock game looks A LOT better malphas, lot less jaggies especially for vehicles and objects like fences, posts/poles, and buildings. Obviously not icenhancer quality but its still noticeably better. Catch is it doesn't show up on screen shots for some reason(well with FRAPS at least)it looks like the plain and very aliased original unmodded game...im guessing its because its done through drivers and not directly in-game.
I wouldn't call the original ugly but using this mod as comparison the difference is too much. I mean my simple 'solution' is enough to show just how much AA would have made the game look better from the get go. Bah its a shame I really like what 2.0 did for the game...

You have the BSOD code? You can look for it by going to the Control Panel, then to System and Security, then to the Action Center, then click View Reliability History. It should show you what BSOD code caused the crash. I can try to let you know more of why it crashed if you let me know.

sure foruman. It was SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION with mentions of atikmdag.sys. Which leads me to believe that the game made my display driver crash and caused the blue screen. Thanks in advance for your input.

I didn't think of adjusting my control panel. I have Nvidia so I'm going to try this..... Resolution is 1920x1080.
Forced (Overridden the application settings) AA through Nvidia Inspector (16x CSAA) as well as Supersampling (8x). Anisotropic Filtering is at x16, View Distance is 45, Detail Distance is 60, Vehicle Density is 60, Definition is On, Texture Quality is High, everything else is Very High.
I have upgraded texture roads only. I'll be fine. Good luck!!

Thanks in advance for your input. No problem; just trying to help out. But, what I am interested in is the code, not the type. For example, a BSOD code of 0x124 usually means the CPU isn't receiving enough voltage during high usage, and so on. If you can tell me the code, I may be able to diagnose it a bit more, but from your post, I'd say you know pretty much the cause of the crash already.

No, I stay with what I said, unmodded GTA IV is really ugly. There's barely any color in the game, it's all so dull lookin', sky is hideous. Even with Icenhancer 2.0 I find it dull at some times, but luckily 'cause of great lightin' and the enhanced colors I can live with it. The reason you think it's good is 'cause it has nice textures, which is why this game changes so much by modding it. Making every building look so realistic, but unmodded GTA IV is ugly, greyish looking and just simply dull..

Yeah exactly, they did an ok job with GTA IV, but some dumb things just made the game look really ugly for me. What's up with their trees anyways? Most of their stuff is so nice, but the trees omg..
