Project2DFX: LOD lights make the city appear more alive at night https://thirteenag.github.io/p2dfx

Project2DFX (Images speak for themselves. Comes with a configuration file. Highly recommend changing some stuff. Here is a tutorial for it.)

Combine 2DFX then now the graphics age well for a 2005 game

For graphics mods, use 2DFXand SkyGFX

For higher res and better visuals and audio than console, the quickest way to get the PC version working with minimal modding is the current Steam version, FusionFix, GTA IV music downgrader — this downgrader only restores cut music and doesn't downgrade the .exe version — and Project2DFX to give the city distant LOD lights like in GTAV.

ColAccel: HEAVILY reduces GTA IV loading times by (If I remember correctly, that is) combining all the meshes (https://github.com/ThirteenAG/IV.EFLC.ColAccel/releases).

As Clonk said, ZolikaPatch crashes with or without this process killer, and yeah it's probably due to these specific addresses you're talking about, it's why FusionFix, ColAccel, pretty much any of the ASI mods out there require new versions for 12043

Another mod you might wanna take a look at is ’ColAccel’, what it does is it reduces load times by a lot. Though if you’re on a SSD, i don’t think there’s too much difference. https://github.com/ThirteenAG/IV.EFLC.ColAccel/releases
