I installed the game a while back... and it worked for me. The first day it went very good at around 20-30FPS ( which was a surprise for me since I have "Intel(R) HD Graphics" for my graphics card.) The day after, the game started having a sh*tload of missing textures, to the level that all I could see was the car and Niko (+ some peds). I decided to install Patch 1.0.7.0, from then everything went downhill... the game started, and showed me an "out of video memory" error.. I restarted the comp, and tried again. This time, the game didn't even launch, it gave me an EFC20 Error (Invalid Resource Detected. Please Re-install the Game.". I downloaded Alexander Blade's EFC20 Fix. Result : I open LaunchGTAIV.exe - Nothing happens.. Can someone please help me out ?

EDIT : Forgot to mention what happens now...
GTA IV : Still gives me EFC20 Error
IV:MP : Gives me "GTA IV Fatal Error : Out of Video Memory"

PC Specs :
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 CPU 650 @ 3.20GHz
RAM : 4.00GB (3.37GB Usable)
Windows 7 (32-bit Operating System)
Intel(R) HD Graphics ( don't tell me it won't run it, i'm running most games on medium+ quality with around 30-35 FPS )

Had same issue. Reinstall fresh, patch the game, install IV:MP. The patch has a bad habit of corrupting the game easily.

Okay, I installed the game.. and now about the patch.. do I use UpdateTitle.exe or TitleUpdate.msi ?

EDIT : I tried TitleUpdate.msi .. it shows me a "Application failed to install. Use Setup to install" error or something...

UpdateTitle.exe works though.

Ya, it's a bit confusing. Originally when it corrupted my game, I used the Microsoft Installer and the executable was erroring. Now it's the other way around, and was successful. Go figure. Rockstar should really provide some documentation there, or atleast use a better naming scheme...

Hi Niko!

Sounds like you have a corrupted file inside of GTA4!
What I would suggest, (As it is what I have had to do to remove the error) Is...
Before you start, anything, uninstall GTA4 completely, including IVMP (As there is a new version of that now anyway)

Once you are GTA4 Free, make sure you restart your computer, this should clear any files left for the garbage collector on its way out.

When your all started up again. Make sure you get the latest drivers for both your PC (from the manufactures website, or motherboard manufactures website (this does really help!) Then Download and install the Newest graphics drivers for your system at either the Nvidia or ATI website.

Once you have done this, you better do another restart for the garbage collector, then go ahead and do this:

Install GTA4 but dont play it yet!
Install Patch 1.0.7.0 Still dont play it yet!
Install the Windows For Games Market place download that is required to play GTA4.

Alright, now before we try to install IVMP, make sure that the game works for you and it works the way you want it to! if you have followed my steps completely I'm sure it will be.

Next of course make your alterations in Graphics settings, do some tweaking such as turning off Vsync and turning down the shadows (personally i turn shadows off for a huge performance boost) After that find the place to turn the handbrake cam off along with the quick capture option and your good to install IVMP!.

Good Luck & Happy Gaming!
Regards,
DellStorm



When adding value gets you worse off than you were before, due to a hidden agenda against you, its time to quit. Then remember why you quit in the first place.

Vista SP2 and running as admin isn't needed. The Run As Administrator thing is only needed when installing. If you get weird errors that only that solves, just make it a Data Execution Prevention exception and the OS compatibility won't be needed.
