IV:MP - Developers Answer: Post your examples!

This is awesome! I'm glad it's coming, although, too bad my computer is having trouble handling GTA:SA so... I doubt it will run smoothly on GTA:IV...

Does IV:MP require a 'legal' version of the game?
I have GTA IV Lost and Damned and Ballad of the Gay Tony, will IV:MP work on those or do I need IV:MP original version?

I wonder how i should be able to join the server.. I'v installed the client, i can see random servers when i click on refresh.. I cannot join to any of those servers and i cannot join the Argonath RPG Test server either when i try to connect "Quick".

How i do to get this working?

You have the good patch? 1.0.4 if I am right. Otherwise you cannot join . Try to re-install it, and patch it until 1.0.4.

You need the normal version if I am right. But you still can episodes of Liberty City. May it will work.

I think you can use the Illegal version of the normal GTA, But The other 2 games are not Supported true IV:MP.

Thanks for you answer.


Typo: true -> trough.   *winkwink*

You can . But you need config it good, otherwise the security systems of GTA IV will be activated.

Hello,
 I've installed GTA IV and IV:MP.
Here's my problem, I have typed the server IP address in that is in the IV:MP server list.
I click on it, and it just shows a little loading thing with my mouse.
So I looked around on the internet to see if you had to patch it like with SA:MP, and I came across a 1.0.0.4 patch 5. So I installed it, and ASI loader, says I need to put them in this 'dir' folder.
Where can I find it in C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV??
I've looked in every folder, I just don't know how to work GTA IV:MP. Something I've wanted to do since January when I first got IV:MP. Has anyone got a full guide from installation to installing this patch to make servers load?

Thanks.

Perhaps they mean dir. as in directory. ASI loaders are supposed to be installed in the game installation folder. (such as the Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV).

I've dug around the Internet and it seems that you're unable to start the IV:MP at all if you have any other version of IV than 1.0.0.4.
Although there also has been said that support for the latest patch is on it's way... which I'm waiting for too.

Ah, ok so dir is directory, thanks. 
So just drag the 1.0.0.4 patch and ASI into the GTA IV rockstars folder?

[Bilbo]

Is the patch an .exe (executable) file or just bunch of different files?
If first, install it. If second, then yes just drag them into the IV folder.

No. You should only use a legal copy of the game. We do not support piracy.

Ok about the GTA IV patches, I've got ASI files, they are binkhooked.dll and binkw32.dll.
Now I'm trying to find the 1.0.0.4 patch, I downloaded something and the file is called FileCheckFix.asi.
Then I closed everything clicked on IV:MP, I clicked on a random server to test it and it comes up with "Unknown game version detected. IV:MP only supports version 1.0.0.4".
The FileCheckFix.asl thing I downloaded was called 1.0.0.4, was this the wrong thing??
I'm so confused by this. SA:MP was simple to downlaod with the patch.....  :roll:
Please help.

Thanks.

Will the IV:MP server be called Argonath too?
