Improved support for the GTA IV: Complete Edition, including fixed animation viewing for the "Episodes" (TLAD and TBoGT).

Happy modding!

Although OpenIV was later reinstated and updated to version 4.1 (and beyond), many modders still search for for several reasons:

One of the most celebrated features introduced in the 4.0 branch and maintained in 4.0.1 is the ability to remove the encryption from game archives. Previously, to view or edit certain files, users had to jump through hoops to decrypt them. OpenIV streamlined this, allowing for easier access to the deepest levels of the game’s code, provided the user accepts the disclaimer regarding Terms of Service.
