All unofficial patches like Zolika, Fusion Fix, IVTweaker are designed either for the new game engine from version 1.20.43+ (STEAM&RGL) or for a clean disc version of GTA4. These may cause crashes and/or other issues. None of the so-called "fixes" are from modders Thirtheen_AG or Zolika.
Theoretically, they can be installed, but 95% of the features won't work and may create even more problems.
You should either wait for a Fusion fix from Thirtheen_AG himself, exclusive to VCNE 1.0.7.0, or install the official/unofficial VCNE patches, which are 100% compatible with GTA VCNE. Do not expect patches from Zolika, as he has long ceased mod development.
Currently, there is only one official patch available: Vehicles Patch.
This page will host official patches from a team of enthusiasts who have ABSOLUTELY NO affiliation with RevTeam.
