How come the GTA IV keeps updating ?

[Chon the Monk]

Every day for the last couple of weeks i get a 5.4k update for this game when starting Steam. Is this a bug in the system or what ?

I've noticed the same issue and am also trying to figure out why....
Please post if you find anything.

Those were Steam store related updates, the game itself didn't change.

I think it did. There's trucks now in the traffic. I haven't noticed them before. Ever.

Linus Tech Tips said there was a new graphics mod for GTA 4 that was out, but my understanding was you had to install it yourself. Maybe he was in error and it was a update instead.

Downgrade to 1.0.7.0 and you won't have this problem anymore.

Here's a guide for optimally setting up GTA 4:

If you are talking about Linus's "The BEST Thing About PC Gaming" GTA 4 segment, mind you he never said it's a "New" mod, he used "GTA 4 Beautification Project" in that video and I would assess that he never plays GTA 4 in his spare time since he didn't mention dxvk or any other interesting and helpful tools (like FusionFix or ZolikaPatch) to improve your gaming experience with this game. Mind you he could have used Clean IV which removes the dirty look of the original game and is pretty nice.
Personally I use DayL's Natural Timecycle because the perfomance isn't affected like with ENB's/Reshade.

Doesn't surprise me. I noticed some of his content about Linux is incorrect. He says he is going to switch to Linux at his home because of the new Steam Deck. Maybe he will learn something if he actually does do what he says.

Hey Chon, get anything figured out yet? I just checked and there was another small update.

I haven't been playing GTA 4 - I just noticed it updating everyday.

Same here. Noticed the constant updates and wondering... No mods or anything.
Just going to uninstall and possibly revisit in the future.
Cheers.

I mean look at the update's size. Only a few kb, so it can't be anything game changing.

If that is all you have to add then why even comment? Look mommy... I are smart...
