Title: Multiple problems with GTA IV
Post by: CharlieKasper on December 09, 2014, 07:52:10 pm
Okay so I installed my legit copy of GTA IV which I bought in 2009, entered the cd key, it verfied and all good.

When I launched GTA IV it said GTA IV has stopped working. When I created a commandline.txt and downloaded a xlive.dll file, that problem was solved, GTA IV launched.

New problems - I can't change the graphic settings, they change for some miliseconds and go back to original.

Also, on starting the game, it gets stuck at the characters loading screen endlessly.

Help pls.

PS - Downloading patch 1.0.7 as I write this topic

Also - i7 somethingM quad core
8 gigs of RAM
Intel HD 4000 (I know damn well it will run at low settings)

Intel is made mostly for programing computers this may cause the problem as in my other laptop my intel graphic card i am unable to see the HP of the other people in SAMP.

Try this: right click on GTA4, select properties, then select launch options

Command line along with the latest patch fixed it. What's the latest ivmp version that argonath uses? :D

...No.

Intel HD 4000 and 3000 are pretty standard on commonplace laptops, next to the Nvidia M brand and generic AMD Radeon M brand.

I had the same problem as OP with my old Toshiba Satellite laptop, with my settings automatically resetting back to a default option set, with the render distance set permanently to the longest range and everything on medium-high even though I had a quarter of a gigabyte of video memory and on the settings it was going over by about a gigabyte.

So I accidentally deleted the launchgtaiv.exe file from the folder while finding a no dvd exe. Now I cant go through the re installing process again and installing the 7 patch didn't fix it either so if anyone could be awesome enough to upload their launchgtaiv.exe file for me, it would be awesome.

Thanks.

I use the Steam version of LaunchGTAIV, even though I don't have it in Steam.

Advantages? No need to have the GTA IV DVD inserted in the computer :D

Keep in mind that this is not a crack, it still requires a legit CD key. (And you will be able to play the original multiplayer) You just don't need to have the DVD inserted all time :)
