Configuration File

Introduction#

Fusion Fix provides a configuration file that gives you access to more advanced options and fine-tuning customization. You can edit this configuration file by opening GTAIV.EFLC.FusionFix.ini with any text editor.

Below you can find a description of each option.

Other sections of the Fusion Fix Wiki.

[MAIN]#

This section contains general settings which changes the behaviour of some Fusion Fix improvements.

RecoilFix#

Description:

On console, guns would increasingly become less accurate the longer you held the trigger, which made burst firing/single firing necessary to gun fights and made each weapon unique to certain situations. But on PC, guns will always shoot exactly where your crosshair is no matter what gun you're using and no matter how long you hold the trigger, simplyfying gameplay and allowing you to use weapons like an SMG at long distances with no downsides.

Comparisons:

TODO

Values:

RecoilFix = 0 - Use PC behaviour
RecoilFix = 1 - Use console behaviour (Fusion Fix default)

AimingZoomFix#

TODO

Values:

[CAMERASENSITIVITY]#

This section contains settings which change the behaviour of the improved camera sensitivity sliders added by Fusion Fix.

MouseLookSensitivityRange#

Description:

Sets what the minimum (slowest) and maximum (fastest) sensitive is for the mouse look sensitivty slider. This slider is only for mouse input and it doesn't affect the sensitivty when aiming with weapons.

Values:

Values for this setting can be whatever you like. Left value is the minimum, right is the maximum.

MouseLookSensitivityRange = 0.1, 2.0 - (Fusion Fix Default)

GamepadLookSensitivityRange#

Description:

Sets what the minimum (slowest) and maximum (fastest) sensitive is for the gamepad look sensitivty slider. This slider is only for gamepad input and it doesn't affect the sensitivty when aiming with weapons.

Values:

Values for this setting can be whatever you like. Left value is the minimum, right is the maximum.

GamepadLookSensitivityRange = 0.1, 2.0 - (Fusion Fix Default)

MouseAimSensitivityRange#

Description:

Sets what the minimum (slowest) and maximum (fastest) sensitive is for the mouse aim sensitivty slider. This slider is only for mouse input and it only affects the sensitivty when aiming with weapons.

Values:

Values for this setting can be whatever you like. Left value is the minimum, right is the maximum.

MouseAimSensitivityRange = 0.1, 2.0 - (Fusion Fix Default)

GamepadAimSensitivityRange#

Description:

Sets what the minimum (slowest) and maximum (fastest) sensitive is for the gamepad aim sensitivty slider. This slider is only for gamepad input and it only affects the sensitivty when aiming with weapons.

GamepadAimSensitivityRange = 0.1, 2.0 - (Fusion Fix Default)

[SHADOWS]#

This section contains settings related to the games shadows.

ExtraDynamicShadows#

Description:

Several objects don't cast shadows in GTA IV. This setting enables a flag which allows them to cast shadows.

Comparisons:

TODO

Values:

ExtraDynamicShadows = 1 - More vegetation models cast shadows
ExtraDynamicShadows = 2 - Certain fences, walls, roads, grates and even more vegetation models cast shadows (Fusion Fix default)

CascadeBlendSize#

Description:

Cascaded shadows use higher-resolution shadow maps close to the player and lower-resolution shadow maps further away. This setting controls the size of the transition area where these shadow cascades blend together.

Comparisons:

TODO

Values:

This option can range from 0.0 to 1.0.

CascadeBlendSize = 0.1 - (Fusion Fix default)

HighResolutionShadows#

Description:

Doubles the cascaded shadow map resolution. So if the shadow resolution near the player was 1024x1024, it now becomes 2048x2048. This doubling of shadow resolution also applies to lower-resolution shadow maps further away.

Comparisons:

TODO

Values:

HighResolutionShadows = 0 - Disabled (Fusion Fix default)
HighResolutionShadows = 1 - Doubles shadow resolution, almost no benefit and very performance heavy.

ForceShadowFilter#

Description:

Forces a specific shadow filter instead of it being tied to Fusion Fix's reworked definition option, I'd recommend reading about that if you want to understand what this really does.

This setting is not related to the shadow filter option added by Fusion Fix, which are seperate effects.

Comparisons:

TODO

Values:

ForceShadowFilter = 0 - Filter quality tied to the definition option
ForceShadowFilter = 1 - Uses the low quality shadow filter seen on Xbox 360

[FRAMELIMIT]#

This section contains settings which change the behaviour of Fusion Fix's frame limiter.

FrameLimitType#

Description:

Changes how Fusion Fix's frame rate limiter limits your frame rate.

Comparisons:

PERFORMANCE IMAGE HERE

Values:

FrameLimitType = 1 - Thread-lock. This can technically provide more stable frame pacing and lower input latency, but it uses more CPU resources
FrameLimitType = 2 - Sleep-yield. This can technically have less stable frame pacing, but it uses signifcantly less CPU resources (Fusion Fix default)

FpsLimit#

Description:

Sets the frame rate used when the FPS limiter option is set to "Custom".

Values:

Any numerical value can be used for this setting. Negative values make the "Custom" option default to your refresh rate.

FpsLimit = -2 (Fusion Fix default)

CutsceneFpsLimit#

Description:

Limits the frame rate during the games cutscenes to a certain value. Cutscenes had some major issues above 30FPS, but Fusion Fix fixes most of them, so this isn't really necessary to set.

Values:

Any numerical value can be used for this setting.

CutsceneFpsLimit = 0 (Fusion Fix default)

LoadingFpsLimit#

Description:

Limits the frame rate during the games loading sections (black screen with text in the bottom right) to a certain value. The FPS often spikes into the hundreds/thousands when the game is loading, this causes an increase in GPU usage and it can sometimes soft lock the game.

Values:

Any numerical value can be used for this setting.

LoadingFpsLimit = 30 (Fusion Fix default)

UnlockFramerateDuringLoadscreens#

Description:

Unlocks the frame rate when the game is loading a save/new game (when the loading screen art is on-screen) which reduces loading times.

Values:

UnlockFramerateDuringLoadscreens = 1 - Unlocked frame rate (Fusion Fix default)
UnlockFramerateDuringLoadscreens = 0 - Frame rate remains locked to the FPS limit during load screens

MinigamesFpsLimit#

Description:

Sets a specific FPS limit for the minigames listed in MinigamesList, as these often break at higher frame rates.

Values:

Any numerical value can be used for this setting.

MinigamesFpsLimit = 30 (Fusion Fix default)

MinigamesList#

Description:

Selects which minigames will be affected by the MinigamesFpsLimit.

Values:

Entries for this setting should be seperated by a comma. For example, if you only want air hockey and arm wrestling for this setting, it should look like MinigamesList = air_hockey, arm_wrestling

MinigamesList = pool_game (Fusion Fix default)
MinigamesList = air_hockey (Fusion Fix default)
MinigamesList = arm_wrestling (Fusion Fix default)
MinigamesList = tenpinbowl (Fusion Fix default)
MinigamesList = darts (Fusion Fix default)
MinigamesList = drinking (Fusion Fix default)

[MISC]#

DefaultCameraAngleInTLaD = 0 - Disabled

PedDeathAnimFixFromTBoGT#

Description:

There's an additional death animation that NPCs do after you use a counter attack in hand-to-hand combat in the base game and The Lost and Damned, this looks quite strange and could be considered a bug. The Ballad of Gay Tony fixes this issue and thie setting enables that fix in the base game and The Lost and Damned.
