I have been working on a little program in Visual Basic 6.0 that automatically deletes the default controls in GTA IV thus allows the player to use the controls they define. I have also added code to keep the fps in-game to 25 hopefully making the last mission easier and able to be completed first try. I have also added command line input. Just play the "commandline.txt" in the GTA IV game directory and run the game.

Change log: version 2.5.1

'Update 30/12/2011 Added a check to make sure the saves are already in the new location if so it disables the copy function
'Update 01/01/2012 Fixed bug allowing the newer save games games to stay in the new location rather than being overwritten by the older files

To install just put the "Xassist.exe" and "Xassist.dll" in the GTA IV game folder and create a desktop shortcut for the program then run it.
