I'm sure other people would care to see this get an update to support CE, FusionFix makes it so much better and mods like IV Released Liberty Tweaks would be nice on CE, if SDK Dot Net supported CE.

Description:

Launching GTA IV through Steam results in a game freeze, while direct launching using PlayGTAIV.exe proceeds without issue. The preference for Steam launch is to utilize the achievement functionality, particularly utilizing Zolika's steam achievements mod, which purportedly operates exclusively when the game is initiated via Steam.

Should there be an alternative to retain achievement functionality without a Steam launch, any guidance would be highly valued! (Without cheating 😉)

Dependencies installed on my machine:

• .NET Framework 4.8.1

Attempted Resolutions:

1. Version Update:
   • Upgraded from ZolikaPatch v6.9.8.2 to ZolikaPatch v7.35
   • Outcome: No change
2. Configuration Adjustment:
   • Modified IVSDKDotNet/config.ini "PauseExecutionWhenNotInFocus" to "False"
   • Outcome: Marginally prolonged time prior to freezing, with enough time to click on the "GTA IV Play" button
3. Reinstallation:
   • Reinstalled using Downgrader v1.7
   • Outcome: No change
4. Windowed Borderless Mode Activation:
   • ZolikaPatch.ini: "BorderlessWindowed=1"
   • commandline.txt: "-windowed"
   • Outcome: Successful; recognized as a potential solution.

Steps to Avoid the Issue:

• Employing the following steps to run the game in windowed mode appears to mitigate the freezing:
  • Insert "-windowed" in commandline.txt
  • Define "BorderlessWindowed=1" in ZolikaPatch.ini
  • Applicable for both ZolikaPatch v6.9.8.2 and ZolikaPatch v7.35

Steps to Reproduce the Issue:

1. Install a new instance of GTA IV Complete Edition
2. Utilize Downgrader for downgrade:
   • Adopt default or advised settings
   • Options: 1.0.8.0, excluding GFWL, with Radio Sneed, Old Vladivostok, xliveless + ZolikaPatch v6.9.8.2, and Recommended Commandline (without optional -windowed)
3. Install IVSDKDotNet 0.9.2
4. Initiate the game through Steam:
   • On initial launch, potential game freeze at the game selection screen; freeze timing may differ, occasionally allowing for the initiation of a new game or proceeding to the first cinematic's loading.
5. Direct launching using PlayGTAIV.exe functions correctly.

The script gets aborted by loading.

So I recently installed the mod to make some scripts but everytime I try to run the game I get this error : Unable to load IVSDKDotNet.asi : Error 126. Do you know what causes it ?

After running the game for a few minutes with the mod enabled, my game starts rapidly stuttering. opening the console with f4 fixes it temporarily, but after a few minutes it starts stuttering again.

running version 1.0.8.0

I did some research about this native function and i got in to those conclusions:

CREATE_CHECKPOINT(int type (https://gtamods.com/wiki/Checkpoints_(GTA_IV))
                                    , float x, float y, float z, 
                                      float point_x, 
                                      float point_y, 
                                      float point_z, 
                                      float size);

point_x, point_y, point_z - are the coordinate where you want the arrow, if you use the arrows type to point to.
size - is the size of the check point. probably the radius.

Ok, i promise this is the last one, really, so i've made the mod that I wanted to make, but the only problem is that i'm looking for a way to display a text just like in the missions (screenshot below). Thank you in advance.

Hello there, i wanted to create a car with specific ped inside the car. I tried create_char_inside_car native and even _task_warp_char_into_car_as_driver but both makes the game crash. So can you guide any way to do this? Or can you upload an example related to car spawning and warping peds inside it?

nevermind, there's releases tab

Hey, I know I made a post not too long ago and I truly apologize for the time I take from you but I'm trying to spawn a car a bit far away from the player so I tried the GET_NEAREST_ROAD() native but I can figure out what the other overloads are for. can you help me ?

Hey it's me again, so this is a bit more urgent than my previous posts, it seems like C# automatically registers integer numbers over a certain number as unsigned ints so it's the case with the taxi model that can't spawn and automatically makes the game crash no matter how hard I try to convert its hash to an int. I don't have this problem with other models. Thank you in advance.

Hello, my friend showed me this library and I think that this is really awesome, but i saw an issue that he made about spawning the taxi so i tested the solutions that you made but it seems like they don't work either. Could you test them and maybe share a line that i could try ?
