Fully works on the latest patch. IIRC the shadows are softer on 1.0.4.0, but it's not broken on the latest patch anymore.
I thought that he wasn't going to make ice support for GTAV.
Yes
Nice! Time to reinstall GTA4.
Hell yeah. Gonna wait till the easy all in one installer goes up though. Looking forward to this.
Really? that would be a bummer.
And character animations.

This held me back from the previous version, i even downgraded and it never work...
How demanding is this? I was considering replaying all of the 3D GTA games to get prepare for the updated release of GTA V, and I was considering to purchase GTA IV on PC. One of the things I disliked even when it launched on 360 was that horrible dithering, which this mod seems to have removed.
Also, on an unrelated note but slightly related, did the PC versions of GTA III and VC ever get camera mods for the vehicles? It's such a pain to play them compared to SA, LCS, and VCS..I'd rebuy those too if there was something.
EDIT: Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaas, they did. Probably gonna get the GTA Collection on Steam.

Just grabbed the GTA complete bundle for PC I'll have to give this a look when I get home.
It'll work now that Dax fixed it. Performance might be better with 1.0.4.0, but it works. If you want to use 1.0.4.0 but have reservations about downgrading, he's releasing a full installer later.
I guess whether or not iCE will happen for GTAV depends on if 1) it really needs it and 2) Rockstar will provide DX9 support since there is no ENBSeries für DX10/11 yet afaik.
Enhanced lighting, colour correction, and better textures are a good thing. The blurriness and softness is the choice of the modder and is fully optional.

Just installed it....not changed anything in the .ini file, but nice smooth performance with everything maxed out in the GTAIV config screen:
1.040 (Steam downgrade) (also installed the high res road textures): getting a nice solid 30fps (with V-sync).
Will have to play with the colour settings, get a bit more saturation in there..

iCEnhancer never looked that good imo, there are better configs

You can't. Even on a 4770k there are places where it struggle and drops a lot.
It's not hardware issue, it's a shit engine.
It's also full of glitches like flickering textures on many textures, some of which even show in the video that is made to minimize these things and focus on the cool-looking stuff.
EDIT: and when I say it runs like shit I mean the vanilla version, unmodded.
By the way, 1.0.4.0 has much worse shadows than the most recent version, and in my tests it didn't perform any better either.

yeah..but ENB runs like dogshit as soon as you turn on the nice stuff, it's great for 'screenshots' but actually playing the game isn't really on unless you can tolerate 15-20fps on even the most powerful PC.

Well we first have to convince Mr. Boris Vorontsov to create an ENB binary for GTAV first. After all, iCEnhancer is just a custom preset for ENB.
I remember that Borris got so frustrated with GTA IV that he stopped developing updates for it, which is why you typically need to roll back your version of GTA IV before you can properly use ENB. Hopefully won't deter him from the sequel though.
Well... there's that too. Makes sense, seeing as he's only ever done ENB for DX9 games.

this was mind blowing a few years back, but now it can't even hold a candle to the games we're seeing now. its not about the graphics anymore, just look at the animations and geometry.
I know people like to rile on Watch Dogs, but the posted screenshots don't look that much better than the PC version of Watch Dogs w/ the recently released "TheWorse" mod w/ Maldo textures.
I mean I guess it helps I'm playing at 1440p for Watch Dogs, but even still..
I can't take anyone seriously who says this looks bad. (Screenshot I took from my computer)

GTA needs VR support so badly.

Did they fix the nighttime lighting? I remember in the last iCEnhancer driving at night was like being blind, every light source only lasted a short ways

This is a godsend to me, I never could get the mod to work previously even with downgrading my copy on Steam.
Should tide me over until GTAV gets a release date.

I'm tempted to reinstall Episodes from Libery City (I already have an ENB installed and of course I was too lazy to back up the original files) for this.
On a slightly related note, has anyone else noticed that (vanilla) EFLC has worst performance than (vanilla) GTA4? I used to be able to run (fully updated) GTA4 at max settings and keep 45-60 fps. With EFLC, I can barely maintain 30 at max settings.
I've said that several times after seeing some mods.
However, each time I realize that even the prettiest mods can't make that GTA4 fun for more than a couple of hours. I did try a zombie apocalypse mod that was kind of novel, though.

Played the game for 15 min before being bored to death again. I'm so done with this game. I still like to see what modders can come up with though
Not using any mods besides Ice3.0. Those trees :/
I like the lighting though, "natural" and hazy, good job
