Never. Let's crank that saturation all the way up.
1.25 and 1.35 to some extend used a 'washed out' filter setting that he didn't include in the config, believe it's in the iceshader.fx

How much vram does it use if you max out everything? I'm not able to tell with my 1GB.

Agreed. This thing is my white whale.

Ya I am seeing some different stuff in a couple locations. But I am super happy with what I have now.
Then when I jump to the episodes I guess I will upgrade and try to see what I can do with 2.1
The config is a great tool that takes care of a couple things for people. Allows some tweaking so that the real questions revolve around some of the more detailed bits than the other stuff that can be asked.
Don't bother with texture packs. They are all basically just standard textures that has gone through the Photoshop sharpening and darkening process - None of them are truly quality. There's SOME packs out there with some high-quality textures but they cause severe game memory problems which causes textures not to load, eventually turning the game into a big grey blob until you restart.

I think so. Why wouldn't it work?

I also would love a new OP. Not sure how this things works or which version is the preferred one.... 1.35 or 2.1?
Did I understand that you already have a guide, Sethos? Cause basically I want my game to look exactly like your screens.
Edit: Is that even possible with an:
i5 2500k 3.3 Ghz stock
8 GB RAM
ATI 6970 2 gig
Res: 1920 x 1080
60 fps is no requirement, as long as it's in the 35-45 range.

I have the same setup as you except I have a 6870. I can run in 1080p with very high settings, my fps is probably around 25-35 range but I can live with that. This is for the 1.35 version, it seems its taking more resources than 2.1
Wich version of icenhancer you like is a matter of taste. You like colors go for 2.1, I'm using 1.35 and its like real life at night when I'm on Times Square lol.

Oh hey. That warning about the .dll driver causing Nvidia cards to run hot...looks like they meant it hahahahaha.
We had 105 F weather on Saturday and our AC couldn't keep up with the load. My 570GTX is dead
Had only played like 5 minutes and my card, when I looked at it was at 90C+ with fans on max. Usually stays around 65C when playing other games hardcoreOrdered a 580GTX.
Is there another .DLL that doesn't have that issue?
That looks insane with that funky camera style! Very movie style, kinda reminds me of Terminator 3 style filming with the chase scene iirc even though different cars diff setting.
Sethos, sorry to bother you as you seem the go to guy in this thread. Yet to install GTAIV but installed the EFLC not sure what updated version they are through steam. Can I apply your settings easily on the EFLC version without GTAIV installed?
Really appreciate your help, many thanks in advance. : - )
Rocking a single gigy 670gtx & only game @ 1080p so guessing (hoping) for a solid 30fps coupled with your config. What performance do you get on SLI 680?
awwww.

Nice, are you covering car mods too?
There will be an EFLC "guide" to get the ENB working but it's with the big disclaimer that it's basic support, as EFLC / 1.0.7.0 isn't supported.
Wiggle, my setting is strictly 1.0.4.0. For EFLC, in the iCEnhancer 2.1 there's a folder named 1.0.7.0 / EFLC. My settings or any settings for that matter can be applied as the overall structure is the same but the result will probably be horrible as the different versions doesn't share colours, structure or anything.
Karak, sorry to hear that man You can try the 81 SORA ( Still has issues I think ) or the 79 SORA ( Which I believe is the "Best" version for not overheating ) http://enbdev.com/download_mod_gta4.htm however you will lose ENB effects with those and some support.
Yeah
My guide is already spanning 6 Word document pages and far from done. It looks like the manual to a new car People will fall asleep before the reach the halfway point.

I just did the same thing last night, installed GTA4 on Steam and wanted to try this.
first thing you should do (and seriously consider this) make a copy of your GTA 4 Folder inside of the steamapps/common folder. You don't want to have to reinstall GTA4 in case you mess up the install, copying the backup is MUCH faster than redownoading 16GB.
Then go here and follow instructions:

Only thing I would like to know (seriously) is how to disable the DoF in your modified 1.1 version that you uploaded at the top of the page (can you even discribe how to manually remove only that?), can i use the iceHancer Config tool to disable it?There will be an EFLC "guide" to get the ENB working but it's with the big disclaimer that it's basic support, as EFLC / 1.0.7.0 isn't supported.

I ask because when I tried the other version that you uploaded without the DoF it looks way different and itsn't compatible with the iCeHancer Config Tool (causes unhandled exceptions).

You must downgrade your Steam version. I tried icenhancer with Steam(patch 7) and it looked horrible.

Thats teh thing, I've already done that. followed the instructions in the link on my last post.

Asking again cause the thread is moving so fast. Does 2.1 use the dll that overheats Nvidia as well?
Yes, most configs do unless stated otherwise or because they are old / outdated configs.
Karak

Thanks. I was worried about that. Well hopefully this 580 has a better fan setup. It has duels instead of the normal single some have and m 570 had. I will be keeping a close damn eye on temps.
I must admit, you are the first case I've heard of where the GPU actually has overheated. I will make sure to include the warning notice for the overheating at the bottom of my thread, tell them about the other .dlls if that's a big concern.
Karak

Yep its totally fine. I saw it in other tech threads on websites, not a ton but a couple. Mine was purely very bad timing(day was super hot), AC that died or was weak in that room, and a somewhat hot card anyway
All that sort of came together uniquely.I consider it nothing more than random fate really and hey I get to upgrade

Well, I'm just trying to use your exact setting without the DoF is all. Any way to manually disable it? I've been trying to figure this out on my own but to no avail...
I've been comparing files with your 1.1 at the top of the last page with the stock 2.1 and there's not many differences except for these two files:
iceconfig.ini
iceshader.fx
and the addition of:
xlive.dll
xlive_.dll
injector.ini
am i right? Should i be looking in the iceconfig.txt to disable the DoF?
The 1.1 release doesn't have any DoF, the DoF is under Optional Extras. Only the 1.0 release had default DoF.
And DoF is in the iceshader

theres got to be a difference in your iceshader and ini because they arent compatible with the config tool somehow. I wonder if you could edit the files to make them compatible. Or edit the stock config tool versions of those 2 files to imitate your look in the 1.1 release from last page? so we can have you look with an easy tool to edit away!
edit: just tested it, your .ini is fine, but the iceshader of yours is what's not compatible with the config tool (causes unhandled exceptions) anything you can do to remedy that?

You guys need to post more screenshots, as I can't get enough at how amazing GTA4 can look with this mod.
can you take a screenshot?

Lower your graphical settings?

Yeah, I did of course, but then I got to such low settings that it wasn't really worth playing. Too bad though, it looked great, but I don't want to play with 20 fps all the time lol.
Here are some screens. Note: This is just the standard ICEnhancer 2.1 verrsion. No custom settings.
I actually like this look, especially the colours, so I don't think I'll change it a lot.
