Save Games

[Matt Murdock]

I wanted to re install my GTA 4 lately, since it works in only admin mod now. and also I got problems with IV:MP due to some mods, Just wanted to know where does the save games go? Since They aren't in My Documents folder.

I know the question is kinda noobish but I'm trying to finish single player and everything is on auto save.  :roll:

In my opinion here isnt any "noobish" questions, just normal questions

If you mean running it as an administrator in Windows Vista/7, that is actually normal. Many games require that these days in order to access extra files or sections of the OS they need to correctly run. A simple workaround to avoid the right-click method is right-clicking on the shortcut or actual executable itself, going to Properties, and under the Compatibility tab, set it to Run As Administrator. Click Apply and OK, and it should always run it as an administrator from that point on, unless you aren't on an administratively-privileged account.

Thanks Yoske, And Sugar, It started to happen only after I got that ELM like mod for GTA 4, I think ELS or something. And that mod still doesn't work So. And I have already done that, But why keep something and go an extra step each time when that thing doesn't even work or is not useful anymore?

The extra step may be required just because of Windows Vista/7 anyway, depending on your system. ELS itself, however, is very buggy. Make sure you don't use it with IV:MP either, because like earlier versions of ELM for GTA:SA, it repairs your vehicle, and that can get you banned.

I have 7, And removed ELS, It was only ever since I installed that into directory that it started to give a write error, so I tried running as admin and GTA IV Worked, however the extra step can be annoying at times seeing I have to run ENB Injector too before the game.

That may be your issue then

MFW I have been using ELS for ages and have never once noticed this issue.

It's kinda iffy. I can confirm that it is not safe for IV:MP, though.
