Fusion Fix is a full mod for Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition. It tries to fix a lot of technical problems, bugs, and limitations that the official updates didn't fix. This project is a community-led effort to bring back and make better the Grand Theft Auto IV experience on newer systems.
NOTE. The main focus of this project is The Complete Edition. Any issues in other game versions will have lower priority.
NOTE. Please report any issues directly on GitHub.
“We are very excited to be releasing the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “The whole team is dedicated to bringing an amazing gaming experience to PC, and the game looks and plays beautifully. We cannot wait for people to play it.”
