Thanks to Helix for the original DLL.
Summary
This is a helixmod DX9 fix, of the old favourite GTA4. I fixed the latest edition available on Steam that has both the EFLC DLC, but it should work on earlier versions.
Fixed:
- Shadows
- Lights
- Reflections
- Water Haloing
- HUD / Cross hair at depth on Right Mouse Button
- Disabled water drops on screen
- Disabled (for now) Bloom
- Presets for Separation and Convergence on "0" key
Notes:
- I used driver 425.31, which specifies "no profile" in Nvidia Inspector, so it wont remember S and C settings. Open Nvidia Inspector, pick GTA4 in the game drop-down, find the entry "StereoProfile" and set it to "yes" or "1".
- The game a few quirks in Stereo (with no fix installed), for example when you start the game, or alt tab out and back in, the game stutters for about 10-20s as you spin around looking at stuff. I guess that loading the world/textures is happening, but after a while that stops. It deos not happen in 2D though.
- Even in 2D, some of the shadows and lights turn on and off depending on viewing angle. This is not a stereo, or fix, issue.

- Unzip it into the directory where the GTAIV.exe file is.
