What should I do? Plus, the game is there. Please note that I took the patch (https://www.rockstargames.com/downloads/collection/9) from the Rockstar Games site (https://www.rockstargames.com/).
"C:\Users\Surena\Desktop\iv-title_update_8-en_us.exe" /f "D:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto: IV"The code above is an EXAMPLE for what it should look like.pretty sure ivmp doesnt work with patch 1.0.8.0 which means you gotta downgrade to 1.0.7.0

i don't think he is trying to install the patch to play on IVMP, anyway the issue is not related to launching IVMP client, he is trying to install the patch while the game is running on background...Well, not really... I just want to see what performance enhancements it would bring. But, since
Installing patch 1.0.8.0 (http://updates.rockstargames.com/patches/gtaiv/GTA_IV_EFIGS_PATCH_8.exe) disables your ability to play IV:MP again, that needs a reinstall of Patch 1.0.7.0 (http://updates.rockstargames.com/patches/gtaiv/title_update_7_EN.zip)again.I will have to just give up installing the 1.0.8.0 patch until Neproify completes a IV:MP version for 1.0.8.0, or, for GTA IV 10 Year Anniversary to come and for me to move to the official Social Club multiplayer. But, my question is: Has anyone tried the newest patch to confirm if it is true or not? I would like some screenshots, as well.
Well, not really...
On your background there is IV:MP client running windowed, you still have to quit the game if you want to install the latest patch, i thought that was obvious, wasn't it?Man, I tried installing it without the game in the background earlier today with the same result.

IV:MP does NOT work with 1.0.8.0. You will get the error; "IV:MP can only run on patch 1.0.7.0" error.
i tried the patch on my old laptop, i had huge lag spikes for no reason while on 1.0.7.0 everything was just "fine", as we're used to with IVMP in general.Well, I think it is because of my own GTA IV, probably because it is "exposed" to Rockstar Games us uneligible. ;) In rest, I don't think I did anything to them when I installed my GTA IV single player. But, a question would be: Why did they come with a patch 6 years after the last patch they came with?(1.0.8.0 came in November 2016)
I haven't tried it yet on this one and i have no intention to since it's time wasted behind a bad ported game.
Anyway you should extract the exe and run it again, if that doesn't work maybe it's because you either changed installation path or something i'm not aware of :cry:
