Modifications
The Footpath & Road Mod is a popular mod created by ModDB user Don Mafioso, designed to produce higher resolution roads and footpaths. The mod can be installed using:
The user must then extract the maps
folder to C:\Program Files\Mafia
- Enable unlimited draw distance (farther than that of the 'cumdal' cheat), for a vastly improved atmosphere
Custom Cars
User created vehicles are a popular addition to Mafia. ModDB is a popular host for these creations.
Video settings
Template:Video settings
Mafia offers a number of widescreen resolutions accessible through Setup.exe
located in game's folder, however some users may be unable to obtain these.
The game can be adjusted to an extent to support Multi-monitor setups such as ATI/AMD Eyefinity.
Input 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.

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.
