OpenPreCEPatch#

Compatibility

This mod is compatible with all downgraded versions, but not Complete Edition. Skip this mod if you do not intend to downgrade - the improvements are negligible if you do not play the multiplayer.

This project improves core multiplayer experience, adds DLC support to PreCE patches and is considered essential for downgraded versions. You can read the changelog here.

Installation

  1. Go to the Releases page.
  2. Download the latest release.
  3. Extract OpenPreCEPatch.zip into the game folder.
ZolikaPatch

OpenPreCEPatch is an experimental open source successor to ZolikaPatch that already includes all of its' meaningful features. It already includes FusionFix compatibility and patches to existing issues of ZolikaPatch.

If you desire to install specifically ZolikaPatch for whatever purposes, however, instructions are available below:

  1. Go to Zolika1351's Zone.
  2. Scroll to the bottom of the page and download the latest version.
  3. Extract ZolikaPatch_vx_x.zip into the game folder.
    • An open-source compilation of the mod is available here - it's behaviorally the same.
    • Consider re-running the Setup Utility if you used it on the Optimization or Additional Setup pages.
    • Do NOT extract PlayGTAIV.exe or IVMenuAPI.asi. Remove the latter if you already did.

If using FusionFix...
