Essential improvements
Patches
- Latest version is Patch 1.3.
- Note that some sources, including the above, list this patch as V1.2. After downloading it you will see that it is in fact V1.3! I'm not sure why there is this discrepancy.
Modifications

maps

Template:Video settings
- The game supports multiple aspect ratios and arbitrary resolutions, but has stretched HUD elements outside 4:3.
- 21:9 resolutions have HUD issues, misplaced subtitles and left aligned cutscenes by default.[1]
Input settings
In-game control settings.
In-game key map settings.
Template:Input settings
Some users have reported success with using an Xbox 360 Controller but there are often issues with the use of the thumb-sticks.[2] This can be fixed by using a program such as XPadder to rebind controls, using the D-Pad to steer, and disabling the thumb-sticks.

Issues fixed
In-game settings are not saved correctly in Windows 10
- In Windows 10 settings are loaded from
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Illusion Softworks\Mafia
The config launcher correctly saves in this location but the in-game settings are stored in: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Illusion Softworks\Mafia
Red Blocks/Black Lines On Screen
Settings Bug (Non-English Steam versions)
- Non-English versions of the game have a bugged Settings launcher whereby adjusting options has no effect, with Mafia always running with default values. In some cases, this has also led to Mafia not running.
Error 4205 Generic
Error 4214 Unsupported
Error 8815 Generic
Exploding Celeste frame rate bug
- The Free Ride Extreme mission Exploding Celeste is impossible to complete if the game's frame rate is too high, which causes the bombs to explode earlier than usual.
No fullscreen mode on Windows 10
Game doesn't launch, only opens setup
- On 64-bit systems, the game writes the configuration in the wrong path of the registry
