The latest version is v1.2.^{[Note 2]} Digital distributions are up-to-date.

Multi-monitor		Use Mafia Widescreen Fix.^[8]
Ultra-widescreen		Native Hor+ support on digital distribution version (strange because 16:9 is Vert-). HUD is correct but FMVs are 4:3 and aligned on left of screen. Use Mafia Widescreen Fix to correct.^[8]
4K Ultra HD		Vert- on digital distribution version. HUD is stretched. Use Mafia Widescreen Fix.^[8]

High dynamic range display (HDR)

High frame rate

Use Mafia Widescreen Fix

Install Mafia Widescreen Fix.
Set desired FPS Limit in Mafia.WidescreenFix.ini.

Notes

High FPS causes several issues.

Cars have unusually good traction, this results in much relaxed steering than intended.

It can be almost impossible to fully park car at mission marker without turning its engine off (game still thinks it's moving).

NPCs can get stuck on any elevated surfaces e.g. sidewalks, stairs, this can break any mission with NPC companions and cause Trams to stay in one place waiting for passenger indefinitely.

Analog control when using SteamInput

By default, using SteamInput disables the game's native analog controller support by mapping joysticks using XInput.^{[citation needed]}

Xidi translates XInput calls back to DirectInput, restoring analog functionality.

The fix is pre-configured to have D3D8to9 enabled.^[18] May not help in all cases though.^[19]

Use DirectX 8 to DirectX 9 translation layer^[20]
Download d3d8to9. Place `d3d8.dll` into `<path-to-game>`.

Modifications

Mafia Water Shader Mod (updated) - Makes water reflect and refract on the city; there is also a simplified Fresnel effect.

Xbox Rain Droplets - Basic implementation of Xbox rain droplets from SkyGFX for other games.

Footpath & Road Mod - Changes roads, sidewalks and parking textures to be better and more realistic. Requires MafiaDataXtractor to extract maps folder to Mafia folder.

Mafia Community Modpack - Collection of carefully chosen graphic mods improving the game visuals, maintaining the game atmosphere.

Mafia Retextured - Changes textures to the higher quality counterparts, remade from the scratch, but retain the atmosphere of the original ones.

Busy Mod - More traffic, more pedestrians and therefore a more crowded city. Vehicles can now have passengers inside.

High quality characters mod - There are two types of character models in the game. Detailed, which we see in all cutscenes and the ordinary ones that we have the opportunity to admire during normal gameplay. The modification replaces those visible during the game with those visible in cutscenes.

Interface renovation - The modification improves the quality of fonts and the arrangement of some menu items. Polish language version of the game required (although it is possible that it also works with English) and patch 1.2

Updated interface - Interface textures created from scratch in high quality.

+{{--}} High FPS causes several issues.
+{{ii}} Cars have unusually good traction, this results in much relaxed steering than intended.
+{{ii}} It can be almost impossible to fully park car at mission marker without turning its engine off (game still thinks it's moving).
+{{ii}} NPCs can get stuck on any elevated surfaces e.g. sidewalks, stairs, this can break any mission with NPC companions and cause Trams to stay in one place waiting for passenger indefinitely.
