G'day, trying to play GTA IV TLAD DLC in the Complete Edition with DXVK as the FPS is much much better, but i've noticed I can play the game fine for as long as I want but if I tab out of the game then return (in both windowed and fullscreen) and then enter a mission or reach a stage in a mission where the loading screen comes up (text in bottom right corner) it will load 'forever' until I tab out of the game and end the unresponsive process. Thanks for reading.

I can confirm the issue, dxvk does a miracle on fixing the infamous GTAIV port even on Windows, and this is the only issue encountered.

Having the same issue, @doitsujin anything I can do to help to debug this?

I can reproduce the issue but after trying all sorts of things, I have no idea what's going on.

I'm also having the resolution issue like the other recent GTA post. Not sure if they're somehow linked as tabbing out changes resolution/states

KK0bin maintainer 2020-12-19 github

The issue doesn't happen on Linux and Windows is not a supported platform because issues like that aren't exactly rare and are usually out of our control.

I also get the same problem when running the game with WineD3D on Windows.

I could be wrong but maybe #1753 can fix this?

If there is a chance, I'd be willing to try if you can sent a build

KK0bin maintainer 2020-12-20 github

Tried that, doesnt fix it.

Downgrading to 1.0.7.0 seems to work, but minimizing the game won't show the desktop, but the last frame of the game instead. (only with dxvk)

KK0bin maintainer 2020-12-24 github

You downgraded the game right?

The minimizing thing is a known issue.

Yes, from 1.2.0.43

MMonotek18 2021-03-05 github

Update about this: (on 1.0.7.0)

1.7.3: tabbing out doesn't work
1.8.0: tabbing out does work but crash when coming back to the game
1.8.1: tabbing out does work and doesn't seem to crash at all even when loading a mission

@TheNachoman180 if you are still using the Complete Edition version feel free to try, works perfectly for me now :)

Edit: cutscenes are still crashing, just like CE, loaded a quick mission instead of an actual cutscene when testing earlier

Does it crash or just never stop loading? When i tested it, it didn't crash but got stuck on the loading screen.

never stop loading, but crash/close if you spam-click. (and right before it closes you can see the last frame of the game from when you came back from tabbing out)

Same here, I have to play without alt+tabbing. Happens even with a new game. If I open GTA4 and alt+tab while in main game/DLCs selection menu, when commanded to start a fresh game it gets stuck on "Starting new game" forever.

You need to go to the gtaiv.exe file and then right click on it -> properties -> compatibility tab -> uncheck the box for run this program in certain windows compatibility mode. In short, do not apply any compatibility setting. uncheck everything on that page. And, most importantly!!!! Use the Windows key instead of Alt Tab to minimize GTA IV. Windows key lets you go back to the game and continue.

Hey guys I'm facing the exact same issue as well as not being able to use DXVK 1.9.1 and 1.9.2 on complete edition.

Xxcom169 2022-01-25 github

Hello Guys!
Please let me know. Is it still an issue?

KK0bin maintainer 2022-01-25 github

Yes it is. Still no clue what causes it.
