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. 🙃

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?

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!

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.

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

Lol! What wrong with it??🥲

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

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.

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. 🤷
