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).
Always run a virus scan on any downloaded .asi or .dll file. Happy tuning, and enjoy the neon glow. Have you successfully set up the Nipi Mod? Share your tuning preset settings in the comments below (on the original forum post).
