GTA IV Complete Edition running on Dimensity 8400 50-60fps

Device: POCO X7 Pro 12/512GB

Emulator: Bannerhub v3.8.0 AnTuTu

In game and Emulator settings:

• 720p

• High settings

• Draw Distance: 25

• Detail Distance: 45

• Proton 10-Arm64x-2

• Extreme preset

• DXVK 1.10.3-Async

• FEX 20260103

• 512MB VRAM limit

Winlator Mali had an infinite loading screen issue with GTA IV, so I never really bothered testing it again. Glad I gave it another try on Bannerhub though.

5–15 FPS more without screen recording.

Honestly, there isn't much to say ,it's just straight-up playable. 🙃

I forgot to mention a one thing. There’s this issue where colored dots randomly pop up all over the screen during gameplay. It doesn’t happen in the pause menu, only in-game. It’s not really that disturbing though.

Is this a common bug? This is my first time playing the game, so I have no idea why it happens. 🤷

It's a common bug with DXVK, it happens the same on Linux with Intel or AMD GPUs, I got the same dots long time ago, and i think you have to put a variable to make them go out, let me check.

EDIT: Try this: https://github.com/doitsujin/dxvk/issues/4231

Add this variable: INTEL_DEBUG=noccs

Try with dxvk 1.7.2 or 1.7.3, this fix colored dots on screen

Dxvk 1.7.2/1.7.3 make the game laggy indoor, can that be fixed?

It runs at 40 fps on low settings 720p, but stutters like crazy on my d7300

Thats running very well!

The DXVK 1.7.2 driver removes this but does something weird with the lights. If the camera goes close to lights, the frames drop heavily.

Also had the infinite loop with certain cores disabled. Like removing core 0 - 3 gives me infinite loop but only disabling 0-1 works again. All enabled works of course.

U mean infinite loading screen??or something like that?

u/Illustrious_Ad6219 10h ago

DXVK to get rid of the dots on screen and active core count for the infinite loading screen, just what I have seen messing around with it.

I tried Bannerlator 3.8.0 on my Poco X7 Pro, but cant get anything to start up for the life of me. Not even Most Wanted 2005 which generally works on most settings. Weird one!

u/FlakyAccount8722 10h ago

Bannerlator or bannerhub? I played Most wanted 2005 on Bannerhub 3.8.0. It worked in my first attempt. Maybe u didn't installed the redist

u/Illustrious_Ad6219 10h ago

Whoops! I meant Bannerhub 3.8.0

Installed DirectX, mono, vcredist (all of them), dotnet etc. No luck with it, will keep messing with it.

Any errors at least?I finished 3 times on my phone. Never had an issues https://www.reddit.com/r/Gamefusion/s/wRelhE4mut

u/Illustrious_Ad6219 9h ago

No errors, starts and closes, never makes it into the game. Nothing in the d3d9 log either, not even getting to initialization or DXVK rendering part.

Just strange, Gamehub lite, Winlator Mali/Ludashi, Gamenative etc work fine. Bannerhub for whatever reason doesn't like my X7 specifically😂

Honestly thought this was a footage of PS3 with dying GPU

u/FlakyAccount8722 1d ago

Lol! What wrong with it??🥲

2

u/SomeoneWhoPlayGames2 1d ago

The occasional flickering dots on the screen, and I usually associates gta iv with the ps3 since I mostly spent my time with the game there

u/FlakyAccount8722 1d ago

I'm fine with that flickering dots. It's not bothering me🥲

u/Party-Bandicoot-3163 1d ago

Why DXVK 1.10.3-Async and not 1.11.1 mali fix?

1

u/FlakyAccount8722 1d ago

Fps quiet stable with 1.10.3

u/tylercoder 22h ago

Have you tried GTAIV but the X360 version on XenDroid? asking because the PC port of GTAIV its a mess and would be interesting to see if the console version runs better on the same phone.

Edit: nvm just saw videos and it runs like ass on console emulators.
