Cant force 4K resolution with AMD VSR

[vlad_8011]

In adrenaline panel i enabled VSR.
In game settings i see all resolutions above native (2560 x 1440) but only with max refresh rate (144hz) and when selecting 4K and clicking apply, its back to native. Anyone had it?

I would like to help you but I can't seem to play the game right now, Social Club won't let me log in.

On cyberprank it works properly, so I believe there is something with directX9.

Reason why you can't launch game is enough for me to use fitgirl repack, even while I have steam release. This game loses with every update, so I have enough. I had exactly the same problem as you 2 years ago, and it lasted year (!) Yes - I couldn't access my r* games for year. I contacted my internet provider to change my address, and it didn't worked. Some regions of the world are randomly blocked and you can to anything - even access r* page.

I installed Steam version and figured out why this is all hapening.

First of all i had one goal - set any antitaliasing or 4K resolution. It wasnt possible with vanilla game exe.

It is possible with DXVK ( 1.7.3 - otherwise you get visual artifacts) or DX wrapper. Then all what i set in avideo driver actually work - so did virtual super resolution.

However there are issues with all thos wrappers - game heavily stutter on DXVK no matter what i do - tried possible fixed - no luck. With DX wrapper everything runs ok, but only for 15 minutes (around). Then frameskipping stating and physix weirdness.

So i guess i have to use lower game resolution and upscale it to native via RSR - i'll get antialiasing.

the game is a pc port of a console game before modern features were widely used, the basic reason for why stuff like this needs a smooth workaround over vanilla. why 4k gta 4 anyways? 1080p is ok for a game this ancient

Why 4k? Because complete lack of antyaliasing. It look absolutely awful. You can try to apply bigger resolution than your monitor and you will see. It completely fixes aliasing.

Are you using more than one monitor?
Sometime I get this issue when using DSR. but switching to one monitor only solves the issue.

[vlad_8011]

I use single monitor.

it doesn't look much different on my screens, just gives off a sharper image when 4k or upscaled

[vlad_8011]

I have no jagged aliasing edges on objects with 4k.

[vlad_8011]

OK, not sure what fixed it, but since AMD preview drivers (alongside with AMD Fluid Motion Frames) and 23.10.1 VSR is working. Game also received some update. I'm happy im able to use 4K resolution with no problems.

100 % agree.
Even on Steam Deck 800p this game looks awful without proper antialiasing.
Luckily Deck has option to set rendering resolution (up to 4K) higher so with this method game is using SSAA.
Of course 4K is too demanding for Deck but 2560x1440 (30fps) gives good visuals and playability.
