SPECIAL NOTICE

Be advised, that this new version v1.2.0.43 is not as good as Rockstar says. While it removed dependencies from GFWL, also many tracks for different radio stations have been removed and most mods, designed for old game versions, stopped working. For that reason I didn’t remove links to my older repack.

Discussion and (possible) future updates on CS.RIN.RU thread

Game Description

This standalone retail title spans three distinct stories, interwoven to create one of the most unique and engaging single-player experiences of this generation.

This definitive Grand Theft Auto bundle boasts hundreds of hours of single-player gameplay; a full suite of open-world multiplayer game types limited only by players’ creativity; dozens of eclectic radio stations with hours of music and original dialogue.

Music Stations

Due to copyright expiration issue Rockstar removed many old and popular tracks from radio station sets. But if you want to experience the original taste, use downgraded audio options, included in this repack.

By default this repack installs current/modern tracks set.

You can switch from current/modern 10th Anniversary radio stations set to the original one, with much better fitting soundtrack.

Use the following BAT-files in game folder to make those switches.

“Downgraded Stations with Old Vladivostok FM.bat” enables original stations set, and “Vladivostok FM” has old tracks instead of new/current ones.

“Downgraded Stations with New Vladivostok FM.bat” enables original stations set, but “Vladivostok FM” has new tracks instead of old/original ones.

“Modern Stations with Old Vladivostok FM.bat” enables modern stations set, but “Vladivostok FM” has old tracks instead of new/current ones.

“Modern Stations with New Vladivostok FM.bat” enables modern stations set, and “Vladivostok FM” has new tracks instead of old/original ones.

“Disable EFLC Tracks in original GTA4.bat” disables stupid dancing tracks on “Vladivostok FM” in original GTA4, leaving them only in EFLC.

“Enable EFLC Tracks in original GTA4.bat” enables stupid dancing tracks on “Vladivostok FM” in original GTA4.

After you settle down with a music set you want to play with, you may delete “_Stations” folder to save 7 GB of disk space.

For fixing the broken ingame-mirrors add “-forcehighqualitymirrors” to commandline.txt for Non-Steam version. Please use draw distance 21 or 42 and detail distance 80, because the game was developed with these values which leads to less z-fighting.
