Good god the steering is awful.

[Taka]

Is there a way to make the cars not fly off the road into a building if I even dare try to turn my car?

[Voland]

try hold off acceleration sometimes. and brake is useful too

[V I D A L]

Git Gud.
This game has the best steering and physics of ANY game of this genre. Better than GTAV or Watch Dogs or any sandbox style game in which you can drive.

The game has much more realistic physics so the cars have real weight and momentum. You have to break ahead of the corners.

[DPAR]

Dont speed around corners lol

[B Dawg]

How do you end up flying off the road into a building?

[Hugobossman]

Practise like anything in life

wow you're helpful. I played the damned one and the motorcycle in the beginning was steering out of control from every little turn I made. "git gud" is such a trash reply.

So what help were you expecting exactly? Are you just ranting for the sake of it? Because yes. The only solution is to git gud.. Either that, or move on and play another game. Most fans will tell you that the driving in GTA IV is amazing and it's a shame Rockstar downgraded to better appeal to the casuals and made driving much easier in GTA V.

a setting in the options that I didn't find, or a mod, maybe...? cause I remember GTA IV had that setting, and it made it much more enjoyable for me?

I'm so sorry I can't be as hardcore as you in a single player game. I'm so sorry I am a "casual" for a single player game. for ♥♥♥♥ sake. If I am gonna be real, GTA 3 and vice city had the best driving hands down for me. I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about "realism" in a game where nothing makes sense.

do you listen to yourself? "casuals"? for a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ single player game? that's so cringe dude. I forgot who called it that, but it's a little something called "toxic positivity" where if you don't say anything but positivity about a game its just so negative, it's so toxic. you cannot say anything negative or have a problem with a game cause if you dare do that, you're whining. complaining. toxic.

I think you should calm your tits and go read a book instead. Enough video games for you today.

I think you should actually just post something useful instead of making worthless replies like "git gud" or "lol umad". touch grass.

thanks for the help. I tried that a little with the motorcycle in the opening and that thing was just going nuts when I tried to turn. I can't imagine how insane and hard it is to drive in a chase mission.
I do appreciate the help, though, I'll practice more. I coulda swore GTA IV had a setting for the physics, I was hoping this game had it too and I just couldn't find it.

They are modelled on the ‘yank tanks’ of the 70’s and 80’s. Have a look at the Dukes of Hazard on YouTube or ‘Dirty Harry’ car chases and you will see a perfect mirroring of the handling. Big wallowing soft suspension and lots of over and understeer.

Oh, you should have mentioned motorcycles in the OP. They break above 60 FPS, so cap your FPS to 60 (via V-Sync, Graphics Card Control Panel, Fusion Fix, or downgrade the game so you can use ZolikaPatch but I still don't recommend playing over 60 anyway).

this

and also, i wondering about control type. cus honestly with kb\m much harder handle cars there, than on gamepad tbh. i mean, you have some smoothness in controls with gamepad

[B Dawg]

Nah it's easy with KB/M as well, I play with it all the time.

I recommend a controller, but it can also be mastered on keyboard. Back in the days of GTAIV MP we did all sorts of crazy races around LC, without ever crashing, so believe others when they tell you, it's about practice.

Brake before turns. ESPECIALLY true for motorcycles.
Don't fully accelerate while in a turn and slowly increase the throttle when you get out of them.
Try to take the racing lane, so from the outside of the street, to the center point of the turn, back out to the outside: Requires less steering.
For those cars without or bad ABS, try to brake in short pulses or only brake slightly, early on. Combine strong braking with steering and you end up on the curb.

For motorcycles, try leaning back a bit when you accelerate out of the turn.

What it comes down to mainly is to SLOW down before you take sharp corners and don't hit the throttle until you passed the center of the turn. When you get better the handbrake can be very useful, but without a lot of hours into driving fast it will probably result you spinnig into trashcans.
