GTA IV doesn't loads

[saberman]

Okay, before I do the patch of 1.0.7.0 the game works fine. But after I do that, I load the game, when I start it, a few pictures come with the different characters. I wait until the music ends. After it does, I press enter again and again and nothing happens. The game just simply does nothing. Keep on loading characters instead of the game. Mostly, when the music ends, I press enter and it loads. But it doesn't. I re-installed the game two times. Still doesn't works. Help would be appreciated.

 :ps: I never had such problem before

Just Waaaiiiiiiit.

Don't click anything, see what it does, then report back here, on my new PC which is way higher than the recommended, it takes agggges to load.

Is it pirated version or legal?

[saberman]

Uhh... Not to talk about any piracy but... pirated.. but it worked before IIRC....

Thanks for the suggestion, will consider it.

I know I shouldn't talk about piracy, but you aren't supposed to update it with the official update.  :roll:

You updated it yourself, problem solved. Can't do that.

The first time I re-installed. I didn't do the 'run for first time without patch' but now I did that... Still nothing.. Also, the "IV:MP 0.1 T3 some date & time" are frozen. I'll get fraps and post a video about this.

I'm going to uninstall Gamer OSD and see if it is the problem or not.

NOTE: I only drove the car a bit. Didn't save the game before the patch or anything. Is that by any mean the cause of this problem?

Alright, delete and uninstall all related to GTA IV and IVMP.

Install it as I say:
1. Install GTA IV
2. Install 1.0.7.0
3. Install IV:MP 0.1 T3
4. run GTA IV single player and close the game
5. Install xliveless.dll
6. Restart your computer
7. Try play the game.
