Tuning Fix: Open nipi.ini and set DisableSaveScreen = 1 . The save screen's rendering conflicts with the HD HUD. Q: Cars are floating above the road. Tuning Fix: This is a collision file issue. Reinstall the gta_vc.dat from the Nipi "tuning pack" included in the download. Ensure it overwrites the original. Q: I have the link, but the FPS is terrible (below 30). Tuning Fix: Lower ReflectionResolution to 512 and set SSAO = 0 . Also, right-click gta-vc.exe > Properties > Compatibility > Check "Disable fullscreen optimizations." Final Verdict: Is the Nipi Mod Worth It in 2025? Yes—provided you follow the tuning steps above. Without tuning, the mod is a buggy mess. With correct tuning, it rivals the GTA: The Definitive Edition (and many argue it looks better because it retains the original art style).
