Do you happen to have TeamViewer? but if you feel discomforted, I can write here as best as I can.
So, i followed the installation guide and all.
I don't like this sentence.
It is crucial that you follow every single step.
1) First, ensure you have a legal copy of GTA ( As said above, no piracy talk.You can play pirated or legal but you'll have to find out yourself how)
2) Second, here is the needed patch to start the game: GTA IV Patch 7 (http://games.softpedia.com/get/Patch/Grand-Theft-Auto-IV-Patch.shtml)

3) After you install it, go here: Latest Client (http://files.iv-multiplayer.co.uk/beta/downloads.php?f=IVMP-0.1-Beta-1-R2-2.zip) and download

4) The process of installation is very simple, run the executable from the unpacked ".rar" file and install to your directory( There will be your launcher)

5) here is the server IP, currently supporting 32 players.IP: 178.63.52.144:9999 (No password) ( Remember: If you get an error "Failed to connect to ...." it means the server is full! )
6) Run "LaunchIVMP.exe" file located in your GTA IV directory. it will execute the game and take you to an In game server browser.
7) PROTIP: You have to have the IP address "copied in your click" ( means that you need to copy the IP before entering the "LaunchIVMP.exe")
8) There is a tab below when you enter the game named "Quick Launch". Press it and then two fields will appear, just CTRL+V in the first one and press OK.
If you happen to have an illegal GTA IV copy, send me a PM. Do not discuss it in this thread.
