Messed up physics?

[olzhas1one]

I have played GTA 4 since it's release in 2008, and something that I've found weird are the car physics. It seems cars are lighter now and break easier? It takes no effort to flip a car in almost anything, even a slow minivan. From what I recall this isn't how they should work. The cars also seem to break down faster. Is just me or has anyone else noticed this?

I don't think it's all that different.

Anyways i would say install the Realistic Driving & Flying mod. Way more fun than vanilla driving. Works on all versions.

As to them "being lighter", it's a well-known issue with high FPS that the cars and doubly bikes spin out constantly. I.e., you may be experiencing an FPS effect also; try capping.

High FPS never affected cars, only motorcycles.

I can certainly tell that cars are far lighter now, it's very easy to turn them over both yourselves and for NPCs

You are undoubtedly a more experienced player than I am, but still, both from watching "let's plays" on for the game very new hardware and through own experience, I still got the feeling that also cars were more prone to spinning out while turning with high FPS. Yes, I may be mistaken; it's at the very least not a big issue with cars.

Just posted that someone should sticky a post about these FPS issues:
