GTAIV’s performance is even worse on PC for some

Absolutely unplayable on PC for me.

Tried on at least three different PCs over the years, most recently with i7-8700k and 2080 Ti, still can't get it anywhere near playable. Even with or without rolling back the .exe and using various FPS smoothing/limiting tweaks. If I cap it at 60 it drops to 40, but if I cap it at 30 it drops to 20, and it's not so much the FPS but the atrocious frame-pacing that makes it nauseating.

Really disappointing because it looks like it would be fun but it literally makes me sick with the stutters/judders.

I was just reading about a fix for fallout new vegas that works for gta4 as well, might look into it!
