- While this method hides the intro cinematic, it essentially just displays a black screen instead of it. The game itself allows you to skip to the main menu a few seconds into the cinematic, whether it's the original cinematic or just a black screen. As the button prompt is in the original video file, with this method the prompt is not shown and you're stuck on a black screen until you press a button, after the game unlocks skipping and the prompt would have appeared. It's not clear when the game starts reading input, so it's suggested to start bashing the X or Start button or the Spacebar after the car logos disappear.
ZPatch
- Removes the FPS cap and crash cams.
- Fixes the input delay and collision detection.
- Has an optional feature that unlocks all cars without having to level up and replaces the default driving camera with one similar to GTA San Andreas.

Use the 1080p FMV cutscenes instead of the 4K ones
Delete this folder[citation needed] |
---|
On less capable systems, these 4K FMV's will struggle to play smoothly. By deleting this folder, the game will fall back to using the 1080p ones stored under \UI\MOVIES instead. In addition, this frees up space on your drive. |
