Q: My game is crashing. A: Delete hints.dat from the GTAIV folder, or install "dinput8.dll" and place it on the game's root folder. Q: My anti-virus/web browser marks this file as a virus, what do I do? A: It's normal for anti-viruses or browsers to mark certain system files as viruses and since "dinput8.dll" is a system file which gets loaded by the game, most anti-viruses will detect it as such since it's not signed, hence why the source code was provided if you want to read the code and compile this yourself. Q: What does this do? A: It returns the max available video ram in GTA IV and modifies it to return something else. A hook was also created for Direct3DCreate9 to get the D3D device the host application creates and figure out the amount of available VRAM by creating a dummy DXGI adapter. Q: How do I run this on Proton/Linux? A: To run on Proton/Linux simply add WINEDLLOVERRIDES="dinput8=n,b" %command% as a launch option. Thanks to @Managor |
