Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

MODERATORS
Unless they're poorly written, native games will always run better. The GTA IV PC port is fine.
The reason this is being asked is because the PC port for GTA IV was notoriously broken. There is a popular set of patches and mods that will improve that and I know they come bundled in the fit girl repack but it's one of the ones that won't play nice with WINE during installation.
It runs fine on the Deck. I suspect Proton is the difference, as it's much better tuned for gaming vs. stock Wine.
It's not an FPS problem, it's a visual fidelity problem stemming from a bad port.
