Modder xoxor4d just pushed out a public version of their GTA 4 path-tracing mod with an actual installer that makes setup way less painful. The update kills off some wonky alpha blending issues, adds day-night cycles for emissive lights, and even throws in a freecam mode plus teleportation to map markers.
Performance is absolutely brutal, though, since even an RTX 5080 cannot hit 60fps without frame generation enabled. The modder suggests splitting CPU cores between the game and Remix using included batch files, or cranking down path-tracing quality through the Alt-X menu if stuttering gets bad. Tweaking vanilla draw distance and detail settings helps push back CPU bottlenecks.
This whole thing might keep GTA fans busy while they wait for GTA 6, which got delayed from May to November. Some rumors claim Rockstar might even port it to Switch 2 eventually, but that seems pretty far-fetched.
