I installed the game fine, try to run the game and… screen flashes between full screen and normal sized, then error message DD3D30. So you say restarting works, well not for me, I restarted my computer more yesterday than I could imagine. Is this a driver conflict, possibly, I’m yet to find out.
this is a nightmare to install, I dont care how good the game maybe at the end of it, Its going back to the store!!!!!!!!
Possible solution to D3D errors. D3D or direct 3D errors might be fixed by adjusting graphics settings (duh). Read the post on this link, http://www.emutalk.net/archive/index.php/t-18647.html. If this helps than let people know, if not it may help others or I’m just wrong.
*Addition to post number 3*. Yeah this may be old info but try changing direct 3D settings to see if it helps.
One new solution and one new problem
1) Crash to desktop with Resc10 error
This happens after you’ve been playing for a little while and then press Esc to go to the menu. The cause is apparently a video memory leak. It can be prevented by lowering your texture resolution by one notch. I started out at high and moved to medium, which resolved it.
2) Game completely freezes, with looping juddering sound. Cannot alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del - only hard reboot.
This total freeze appears to happen randomly from a minute to twenty minutes of gameplay. I have never experienced a crash like this in Vista that actually breaks the O/S and requires a hard reboot. No error message, so no idea how to fix. Help?
My specs are:
Vista 64 SP1
Intel Core 2 Quad 2.83ghz
ATI 4870×2
4GB DDR3 RAM
Asus P53E Wifi @N Mobo
I am having problem #8: “Grand Theft Auto IV Has Stopped Working” error but unfortunately the thing you said is not working for me. My drivers’ are all up to date and also installed .NET framework 3.5
Am runnin on vista 32bit, 8800GT, Core 2 Duo 2.4ghz, 4GB ram
Hope they are releasin a patch any soon.
@ #5/paul : try disabling crossfire mode if you have it enabled. everyone who are in X2 (crossfore, SLi) configurations should disable them because they are not fully supported in GTA IV
@bijil : Windows XP users should upgrade to SP3, assuming you are on WinXP. To the Vista users who also get that problem — they have no choice but wait for the patch
I had it working last night - multiplayer and everything, but this morning when i try to play it says “the application is missing..” , even after reboot, anyone else getting this?
tried several nvidia drivers
came freezes o crashes frequently
i cant even rotate the camera around the player without freezing my pc
When I try to install this game, it installs disks 1&2 just great. But when it tells that i should put the disk number one back, it doesn’t regognize it?!?!? It just says that: “Setup could not find the file on the specified path or disk. Please check that the proper disk is inserted or specify a new path.” And I have the disk 1 inserted!!! And this happens in the end, where the setup is almost done.
I’m getting a Fatal Error: WS10 which doesn’t seem to be listed on R*:s own document of error codes
I’m trying to reinstall the dot net 3.5 again
I speack spanish..! and little of bad english…!
But I just want to say Fu(K y0(_) Rockstar .l._(oO)_.l.
they just put the attention on the SecuRom..! And they just make a nightmare to all the Pc gamers…! this game have like 1000000000000 errors and crash..! Please release again but to 3 DEC. 2010…! and 13 GB of application crash and errors…! buuuu..! -.- ZZzzzz once again FOK U.
I have the same problem as “Angry Gta fan” (Comment #11)
Didnt get passed the Second “disc 1 insertion”, it failed to regonize dics 1 again, so I cancelled it, and when I try to reinstall it again, the installation runs for about 10 sec, and then I get:
Feature transfer error
GTAIV_dynamic
F:\GTAIV_data2.cab
Data error (cyclic redundancy check)
And it really pisses me off!!
man this thing is crap.. ws10 error on gta iv..
when i try to play i get “Fatal error ws10″ i have xp sp3 and net frame 3.5 sp 1
I had a few problems after I installed it. I have the steam version, btw. I kept getting the “rmn40″ error message, but I had windows vista 64 bit, which didn’t make sense to me. I rebooted my computer, and then I kept getting the “mma10″ error, which I solved that by logging out of the social club thing, and then I could finally play the game.
Now I’m stuck, but it will probably need a patch. I am at the mission “Clean Getaway.” I’ve looked up this problem, and apparently the people with the ps3 and xbox versions had the same problem with this mission attempting to load, but it just sits there. When I ctrl alt delete the game, it is not responding. Any ideas?
I have a NVIDIA 7950GT and i’ve a lot of bugs!! It’s everything transparent!

pd sorry for repit comment
my laptop meets the minimum requirements (even the recommanded requirements except for my processor, Intel Core 2 Duo 1,83ghz wich is the minimum required processort) but the game runs really slow on my system, the gameplay is very choppy… is my laptop just not fast enough or could it be another problem?

i downloaded GTA IV from thepiratebay and i can’t run the game after i install it. it says i need to activate it first. there is no crack included in the iso, anyone kind enough to point me to the right direction?
At number 24.
Yeah, ill point u in the right direction.
GO TO THE FUCKING SHOP AND BUY IT FAGGET
Its because of dickwads like you that PC gaming is falling.
Hope you die you dirty mother fucker
My problem is the same as #5 for retail pc version. Starting the Rockstar Games Social Club shortcut (or direct file) doesn’t do anything. Starting GTA IV shortcut (or direct file) prompts a DOS screen for about 30 seconds and leaves after that. All without any error message.
I installed XP SP3, .net Framework 3.5 SP1 and updated my Geforce 7900 GS (which should have nothing to do with simply opening up RGSC.exe). Doesn’t change anything. Hope to hear a solution soon!
@ #24
here, i’ll point you to the right direction… just follow the arrow

@ #25.
yea…sure…
i guess your too stupid to know that console games are pirated just as much as pc games, if not more.
if ‘pc gameing is failing’ its not due to piracy. its due to it being harder to code for.
you tell me, which is easier?
-making your software compatible with hundreds of drivers and pieces of hardware? with a computer you have to account for the thousands of hardware setups possible.
-or making it work for one piece of hardware? with a console, you know that every player will be able to play it since everybody has the same console.
Hi guys.
I have a problem with starting the game.
I bought original game and installed it.
Everytime,when I try to run it, an error window shows up, that says : In RGSC came to problem and it have to be terminated…..
I don’t know what to do with that…and the game wasn’t cheap either.
Please help somebody, enybody
Thanks, mumble
I think I may have found an addition fix for Error MMA10 that will allow you to play online, try this;
- Start GTA IV up and skip logging into Social Club.
- When the game is up and running, log into Games for windows (may not have to do that part tho).
- MINIMISE the game using Alt+Tab.
- Attempt to login to Social Network, retry until you have successfully logged in.
- MAXIMISE the game, start gameplay, bring up the mobile phone, select multiplayer and off you go.
Worked for me and a few others. Good luck.

Problem report: Game requires windows live update. Link dosent want to open correctly. Is there an alternate url where people can get an update?
So, I rushed to the store today. Was actually pretty happy to see there were 2 copies left on the shelf. Grabbed one, rushed home. Installed it, and after all the downloading/updating/authentication of the software, started to get ready for one hell of a ride.
Instead, I was greeted with a “NO INPUT SUPPORTED” or something like that on my screen.
Video monitor: Acer 1916
GFX Card : Radeon X1900gt (have a HD 4870 but need a power supply upgrade)
Problem #11 happened with me too and I was downloading in from direct2drive, so I literally don’t have ANY discs.
????????
When I get to the setup i press accept and then a box comesup saying ‘youre system is incompatible with %P.’ yes percent sign and P. It says to follow the link below but there is no friggin link!
Problem: No Input Supported
Possible Fix: using -windowed and possibly adjusting the window to any size you find suitable for you
Note: Initially, I wasn’t getting any video support, I am not sure if it’s part to my video card being at the bottom of the food chain (Radeon X1900gt), but until then, I guess, I can at least get to see the start menu.
Similar to many PC gamers, I was greatly anticipating GTA IV, PC version. After rushing out to get it at the store today, I went home and tried to install it. Woe and behold, I encountered a similar problem to when I tried installing UT3 the other time, some error related to the .cab files popped out.
So I tried using my UT3 fix: Copy the damn files on the DVD over to the HDD and start installing from there.
Know what? 0.5 seconds later, this error pop up saying there’s not enough disk space to copy the files over, when my HDD has 500 friggin’ GB of space. With 200+GB left.
Same sentiments as all the disgruntled PC gamers up there, what the f**k’s wrong with pc game studios these days?
Why must they make installing games (which is SUPPOSED to be a DAMN BREEZE) such a pain in the assss for us?!

would that affect the gameplay?
so…no one knows anything about this error? An error (-5001 : Oxffffec75) has occured while running the setup…
GTAAAAAAAAAAA - If you are running in SLi, disable SLi, the game don’t support it properly yet.
I come across this problem when I use to run in SLi, just a possibility.
no…i’m not running in SLi….any other ideas?
I’ve been installing quite a few times now and it accepts disc 1 then it’s installing.. Half way there it asks for disc 2 but then it says: ‘Setup could not find a file on the specified path or disk’ before when I had this problem I downloaded disc 2 again and it worked untill it asked for disc 1 again and then it again says: ‘Setup could not find a file on the specified path or disk’ In the beginning it does accept disc 1 and at the end it doesn’t. Anyone got a solution?
Please someone help with problem number 58, that’s the same I have… :/
To 59:
Try installing in Windows (Safe Mode)? I attempted it a while back just now, and my GTA IV finally installed, albeit ignoring 2 errors along the way, which I seriously wonder whether or not would affect the gameplay.
So, I was happy for awhile, then came all the Social Club + Windows Live bullshit. Now, I have the same problem with some above, in which when I double-click on the game icon, the game appears as though it is going to start, but it doesn’t.
Urgh, what a huge waste of time today have been.
..I heard if you use a crack on IV it fixes performance errors…someone with a 7300GT, P4HT 3.0GHZ and 1gb ram had it running smooth…
Ah i fixed the problem.
If you have Nvidia gForce SE and you got the error: FATAL ERROR RESC10 then you must download and run the newest driver for nvidia Gforce
FIX for ” FATAL ERROR WS10″ (it’s about the xlive program) u have to manually install the xlive redis from the dvd u browse and u go to GTA IV folder then to the Redistributable folder and u install the “xliveredist ” program afther that u copy the 3 files that start with the name xlive from (Windows - System 32 ) into the folder where GTA IV is installed and restart the comp then start the game (mine started) i have a low end comp amd x2 4000+(2,1ghz) 2 gb ram 667 and a 8500 gt 512 ddr 2 (oc by myself) and the game runs preaty good in low setting !! hope that this can help u guys !!!

@ Angry Gta fan, #11: I had the same problem, fixed it by installing DirectX from the 1st DVD: GTAIV > Redistributable > DirectX_jun2008 and run dxsetup.exe
Restarted, re-installed and no longer had that error when installing.
I have texture problems, no texture exactly …
I try everyone but with out solution :S
My specs:
Athlon 64 X2 +4400
MSI Geforce 8600GT OC EDITION
1GB DDR2 800MHZ
WINDOWS XP SP3 + NET 3.5

If the game is crashing during the starting and benchmark load screen, and you are running windows xp, try the following:
Create a shortcut to “LaunchGTAIV.exe” ,
Right click on the shortcut,
Click “properties”
Select the compatibility tab,
Check the box which says “run this program in compatibility mode for:” then select Windows 2000 from the drop down menu beneath it.
Finally check the box “Disable visual themes”.
Voila, run the game using the shortcut you have just created and you should be in business.properties, no guarantees it will work for everyone but it worked for me…
I should point out that I have an average system and after performing the above solution i am not experiencing any crashes, even in game. Try the solution in the post above if you are getting intermittent crashes and lock ups in game.
I have just spent hours downloading the game off the steam. After fixing an RMN40 error with SP3 the game launches. However, when I press start it lunches the screen that shows different people and then it crashes to the descktop without any error messages.
I have installed SP3, latest Nvidia drivers , Framework 3.5 and latest directX. I tried to run it with different setting nothing helps and it really pisses me off.
MY PC specs :
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ dual core. 2G of RAM, 512 MB GeForse 8800 GT.
I installed the game the day it came out and it was ok… although the game would lag no matter what, I even tested it out with putting the res down to 800×600 and all the setting on the lowest options and it lagged the same as it did on 1680×1050 with medium settings ???
anyway a played for 4 days with no problems untill the game crashed and I got an error: ZLIB20 and after that whenever i tried to play the game it would crash in about 10 seconds of loading the game OR it would loose all the textures and I would have to shut it down. So i looked it up and apparently I had to reinstall the game to get it working again. So I uninstalled the game and when I tried to reinstall I got the BSOD, so when it rebooted I tried to reinstall again and I kept getting errors: “The file xxxxxx is different to the one in the setup’s .cab file” so I tried rebooting but got the same problem. I had the option to Ignore so i did… then again and again all the way through disk 1 and 2 about 30 times until the setup finaly completed. So I tried running the game again and now it gets to the point where it tries to load the saved game but then the game becomes unresponsive and just sits there doing nothing.
This game is fucking killing me….
Hi, I ran this game and almost all the models are invisible and the game is unplayable. I get no error codes at all just a really bad video experience. Any help would be great and btw I am using a cracked torrent download so I may have got a bad torrent. None the less I downloaded it to make sure it worked ok before I went out and buy it. Any help with this video issue will be great though. Thanks -Sam
seeing my own problem and all others in here and over the net, no god does not hate you, we just need to wait for the new patch from r* (which is with MS already for apprv.) or wait for Nvidia’s newest drivers (not the one as on nzone.com, 180.xx)…only a couple of days :-))
R* you did it, the year’s most poorly programmed game!! well done, why you not stick to your mickey mouse console games thats where you good at…cheerio
So my problem is Social Club related, it doesn’t start at all. I see it on process list of task manager for a second then it disappears from there and doesn’t start. I’m messing with Frameworks now but ffs I can’t make it working, ISO: HELP.
Great, I am finally able to get it up and running now, thanks to manually installing the WindowsLive thingy.
But now, I am facing YET another problem. -.- (Why am I not getting surprised about this now?)
I chose not to log into Windows Live since it just gives me endless prompts and problems, and proceeded to start on the game. However, I am stuck at the loading screen of the first mission. It just shows the animated logo of “Loading…”, but nothing loads at all after a very long time.
Anyone know what to do about this?
Hey I have a problem which is not listed I believe…
I cannot install the game, at around 3 blocks of the first DVD (copying CNT.bik) the installation stop and I get this message:

@XSA-RAD. Tried to install directX from the disk 1, still the same. The problem appears when i put the disk 1 again, and i press OK. It seems like its continuing for a second, put then the auto-start screen pops up, and it starts to complain :/ oh and I have the normal 32vista.
guys who are having 7 series card try this one, it works now (use latest driver from nzone.com too):
http://www.m3fe.com/content/xinput
just download the xinput9_1_0.dll and put into your game folder!
problem solved, just need to make it faster now!
41 and 64 !!!!!
all what you got to do is update of windows it will take about 1hr to install it but is woth it
I have had the same problem and now I play this amazing game
hope it will be allright now.
Good luck
I’ve got it working. I couldn’t start the game. It only tried to run and then crashed. Asus’s GAMER OSD had to be removed and reinstalling nvidia drivers did it.
the trick with the fake SP3
if someone wants to play gta 4 on win XP sp1 just like me
use the following trick
go to start Run and type regedit
then search for key local machine/system/currentcontrolset/control/windows
hope this helps solve the STUPID have to use sp3 fix
at windows you see csd version 00000100
for sp1 or 0000200 for sp2 change it to 300 and restart your machine you should now have sp3 installed it worked for me
To 59 All what you have to do is: Dont open the cd files just put it and mount it but dont open it it will be solved
Like me!
Fix for those who have their game crash as soon as the GTA logo appears (after the initial copyright stuff)
go HERE: http://www.m3fe.com/content/xinput
download xinput9_1_0.zip
extract to your Windows\system32 folder.
that should fix it, if not, extract it to the GTA IV folder as well.
Can anyone help me out?
The loading of GTA IV and everything works fine up til the point when the first mission is loading. My game just freezes at the “Loading…” part.
Does it have something to do with the Nvidia drivers? I’m using a Nvidia 8500 GT.
Hey Guys!
I have the problem #6 (exits to desktop with no error msg..) but with Vista32 Ultimate SP1… can anybody help me? I have not found any solutions..
Thanks,

The God damn GTA IV installer freezes when copying some files, and when I kill it with the Task Manager, it won’t close, so I’m never able to install that crap…
to 25
Geez Alex, before u freak out get to know that R* fuking b1tches didn’t launched the game for the World, they only launched it for USA and Europe, so get used to hear ppl talking about pirat GTA IV versions, if they dont launch it global, they ask for piracy… sorry…
Hey i tried to uninstall gta 4 from my computer.
i was lazy so i though ill delete it first and then uninstall from control panel, usually works, but this time i try uninstalling gta it says that securom can’t undo license or something like that any idea how to fix it?
I have all that do ask the game rightly and when I go to make installation gta it shows me a message “? youre system is incompatible with %P”? what it should I make?
SOLUTION FOR #11!!!
Dear all with installation problems (like #11).
I had the same problem. Now successfully solved.
Take a note, that when installer asks to put DISC1 for the second time (at the end of installation) and doesn’t accept it there is (just for a short moment of time after clicking OK on the window) a writing visible. That writing says something about LIVE. Apparently the installer should start installation of LIVE then and it can’t and in effect GTAIV cannot be installed properly.
That is becouse VISTA has known issue with file associations. Some time ago i’ve lost file associations for *.exe files and many others. I’ve managed to repair that. What I didn’t repair is *.MSI association. And LIVE on GTAIV is installed via *.MSI file…
That’s why it can’t be installed.
Please visit http://www.dougknox.com/xp/file_assoc.htm
and download fix for *.MSI - add the key to registry and install again. Enjoy the game (or anticipate other errors :P)
This time it wasn’t Rockstar fault but MS
Happy now :)))
bye
maciek, poland
And as for %P error on Vista you have to install SP1…
i have installed before half hour and nothing
i downloaded the game and i got 2 iso’s. Whenever i mount the first iso a message like this appears ” CRC error: the file grand theft auto iv/pc/data/maps/east/brook_2n.img doesnt match the file in the set up’s.cab file. The medium from which you are running the set up may be corrupted.” I don’t know what that means and i need help, any solutions i will thank u kindly.
My game crashes after the first “legal screen” (once in three or four attempts the game launches and i played more than 20 missions)usually to the desktop but lately afters one or two chrashes instead of launching the game after the screnn or crashing it just reboots my system.
I have Windows XP SP3
.NET Framework 3.5 SP1

I have the WS10 error. I tried reinstalling, problem fixed. Then, I tried playing, GTA4Launcher.exe crashes. Then WS10 has come back OMG.
@ Comment 102 - Buy the fucking game, bitch!
SOLUTION FOR FATAL ERROR RESC10!!!
(IT HAS REALLY WORKED FOR ME)
I was getting this annoying resc10 error and crash, and i was never ever able to enter the game (couldn’t even see the rockstar logo at the beginning). But at last i have fixed it. Firstly delete game and be sure nothing remained about its registry junk. Use an old registry cleaner software (but be careful). Reboot your PC, Then you must download and update your video card driver (Don’t forget to delete old one, and it’s registry files =use “driver cleaner pro” for it. i’m using geforce 8800gt, and downloaded nvidia driver version 180.48) Finally you can load the game, and try playing. It was a tight problem, but i solved it by this way. Inform with your comments if it works for you too.
Ok first of all, I understand you all are mad at Rockstar, but as one dude said before. It’s hard making something that is compatible on a million diffrent devices instead of making a game for a console. Give them some slack aaight? they’re working hard fixing all of your problems.
My problem is the missing texture thing. I can start with no problem. Play with no/some lag but, I don’t see a surrounding area (except sometimes when pause the game for a couple of minutes and play, it then loaded the surrounding area). Imma try the solution to that tomorow listed all the way above here. I think it can help, BUT AT LEAST I’M PATIENT ENOUGH TO WAIT UNTIL THE UPDATE/PATCH FROM ROCKSTAR COMES OUT AND DONT START GETTING MAD AT ROCKSTAR AND LOSING FAITH IN THEM! They’ve put extra features and better graphics in the pc-version, and I simply know that GTA IV is a killer game! it will make me cum.

@ #97
I got help from one guy at the nforce forums for our problem:
“Sounds pretty simple to me, delete the game folder manually, use CCleaner or a similar utility and delete the program from the uninstall list.
Run regedit and delete any information about the game.
(HKey_Local_Machine/Software/RockstarGames/Grand Theft Auto IV/ )
This is optional but will get rid of the last couple of files, delete the information in the “Documents and Settings” or “User” folder about the game.
(On XP it should be - “C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV” and “C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Rockstar Games” )
Should be all.”
It helped me.
Greetings to all ppl who help fix probs.

Hey bud, i have the same problem. What I assume to be the very first mission is stuck on the “Loading…” page. And yeah, no sound or anything is playing, ‘cept for that dumb animated logo. Also, when I checked task manager, GTA IV is still loading. I’ve tried many possible solutions and fixes already, can anyone help us out here?
*GTA IV is still running
Everything is super DARK! The sky is jet black, everything looks like its midnight. The Mini-map is mising, except for a few blips, pressing escape does not bring up the menu. Oh dear…I think I’ve been robbed by Direct2Drive and Rockstar!
I have this kind of problem: when i put the dvd in nothing happens when i go to my computer and click that dvd explorer crashes and sometimes cames install program with boxes and no words nothing happens in it
lol all the peoples who post here and say hey look i cracked the game but i cant run it, How can u have it cracked when you cant run it? actually i know how to fix that and i also know how to have acces to the computers in that Logging On Mission
people who cant do that is because you have the cracked game..hehe i got the cracked game but i got a fake launcher witch bypasses securom :O so no triggers at all i play the game just like i bought it.
pz all the shitties who are asking help on how to crack games.
find out by urself
oh and btw, does anybody know if we can run GTAIV in Directx8?
if yes whats the command because my command line does work
When I try to launch LaunchGTAIV.exe that small DOS screen shows up and then it crashes. Error window appears and says that (translation from finnish not 100% same as in english XP) “Grand Theft Auto IV has noticed an error and product must be closed. If you were handling information, that information might have lost.” Exiting thing is that when I click on technical infromation it says, under “System information”, that I had Windows NT 5.1 Build 2600, but I have XP SP3.? I don’t know does that matter but I found it kind of weird. What how to solve this?
Nasse, i guess you ve got the same problam than me.
ive gotten gta iv yesterday for pc and when i install it it gets to 10 percent and an send error report comes up and exits out of the whole thing. it happened last night and this morning. it gets pretty freaking annoying….

@Prince hell 4 me:
That’s your graphics card. My friend had the exact same issue and he tried everything, the only thing that solved it was changing the graphics card.
I hope that helps.
@Shadori: Make sure you install the latest version of the ENB Series mode. I do believe that it can make GTA SA look even better then the GTA IV.
@AngryGTAfan: Make sure you don’t have too many stuff working in the background. Hardware-wise, I’d only suspect that everything could be slightly bottlenecking with your CPU, although its a pretty decent CPU.
the game starts fine and when im starting to play my screen up and down like left up right down regularly does anyone know this problem email me or write the answer as above

Hi..
I have some problems intalling GTA IV. in the end, it says that it’s intalling visual c++ components…AND IT NEVER ENDS..
PLS, HELP!
Hi there.
The new drivers released as a leaked version of the nvidia beta seem to fix a common missing texture problem on 7 series graphic cards. Just search for 180.84_geforce_winvista_32bit_english_beta. Worked for me! The support team recommended at my own trial a go of these and it seemed to have fixed my issue.

Hey there! I bought GTA few days ago, Installion went perfectly and I ran the game and it worked! But the problem is when I’ve playing randomly 2-40 minutes the game freezes for like 10 seconds and continues with HUGE lag. Like 1 fps.
My specs are :
AMD Athlon(tm) 64 X2 Dual Core processor 5000+ @ 2.60GHz
3071mb of RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8600GS (512mb) Newest drivers
Some soundcard (Sounds work in game)
I have all the requirements to run GTA IV on my pc, and the install runs smoothly until the last step when it says please insert disc 1 (the 2nd time). Disc one loads, but it takes about 30 minutes just to install the language readme.txt files. This should only take a few seconds.
When it is done installing, it says “please insert disc 1″ but disc 1 is already inserted!! I click OK and it cycles through the last part of the install again and then comes up with the same message again when it’s done (it’s a vicious cycle).
I would really appreciate if someone can help me because all i want to do is play the game already!
Thanks
the story so far:
as in post 147
went to my friend yesterday - he’s got vaio laptop with blueray dvd and installed GTA. I thought if he can play it i can copy my dvd’s onto some external hdd and bring it back home.
Tried to install and what ??
Again CRC ERROR - this time on weazel.bik and some .rpf sound file.
Managed to start it and see intro this time tho but than it gave vistas bsod and thats about it
Uninstalled it and installed again through dvd-rom - got loads of errors but 2 files above didnt gave any - so copied it onto earlier made copy of the game but didnt work (apparently even if U’ve got whole game made of two installs it still wont run)
Will install it again from hdd, than copy missing files from shadow copy of installed game and post what the outcome is.
If anyone got some solution to it (as customer support seems to know less then me in this matter) PLS let me know, i thought that coping it on other machine will help but didnt.
OK i try everything, but every time i try to install some error popup, and i chose ignore, and after install i run it. its work, but after 20min, sometimes 1h game crash, i see that error popup on files like radio and sound, and maybe when game try to run it, than it crash. if anyone have some kind of solution, help me/us. i see other people have same problem, and i ask them, did you try to run it on other machine, did you check your memory with memtest, or other programs, and what kind of os and with sp you have.
TNX and sorry for my eng

Plays best on an Alienware 7500 my arse…
I have an alienware 7500, the PC in the game manual.
Let me put it this way…if this game runs best on my system, I can only imagine the hell the rest of you are going through.
Alienware 7500
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8500 @ 3.16GHz
3Gig Patriot DDR2 Memory
GeForce GTX 280 1gig Video Ram
Still get crashes to desktop over and over every 5-10min playing. FPS drops dramatically even during the opening credits movie…especially with the “car on the lift” scene.
And this is the computer the game manual says that the game plays best on.
Wow, after such a long delay, it still runs like garbage. Lets face it, the console version is much better due to the fact that it is actually playable.
my game is freezing before i can see the logo from rockstar and i must give my pc forced restart. i even format my pc and after that i played 6 hours and it start again… some one can help me ?
When I try to start the game it says error:RMN40.I went to the microsoft update site I pressed the update button and it seems it was updated..I tried to start the game but it said the same thing.Where can I manually download the Server Pack 3 for Windows XP???
i have problem installing GTA 4 when i am on 75 procent this error popup:
Feature transfer error
GTAIV_dynamic
F:\GTAIV_data2.cab
Data error (cyclic redundancy check)
help!?
its not letting me change the display options
it just reverts to what it was before
anybody got an idea as to why or how i could fix it?
IV doesnt even run. error comes when run gtaiv.exe/gtaivlauncher.exe/socialclub-> play.
For all the people who get the message “your system is incompatible with xp” or something like that..
First go to my computer (disk 1 must be in pc!)
open the file of the dvd
search for the .exe file to install
right click and go to properties
then select compatible or something
thick off the little box and select in de box that will be available windows xp sp2 (or something like that)
apply
and try to run it again…
problem should be fixed!
for problems with incompatible with %p problems
not my work but it works so enjoy gaming
Hi guys!
I also had such problem a few minutes ago, but i found the solution..)))
I just wanted to help u loosers, that is why i regestred here So:
1) You don’t need XP… just use Vista!
2) Go to the options of the setup.exe on your GTA disc.
3) Choose rhe compatibility options there.
4) You need to tick the field with Windows XP (SP2) and accept changes
it worked fine for hours but now whenever i run it it will load for a bit then restart my computer randomly. i had this problem with the shortcut on my desktop and i solved it by running the actuall launcher but now that has the same problem.
–SOLUTION FOR COMMENT 175–
Hello, I’ve had that very same problem, but I managed to fix it without re-install or anything!
Okay, all you have to do is,
1. Goto c:\Documents and Settings\(your username)\
2. Click on ‘tools’ (on the toolbar) then on ‘folder options’.
3. Select the ‘view’ tab.
4. Now, click on ’show hidden files and folders’
5. Unselect ‘hide protected operating system files’ and ignore the message that pops up
6. Click ‘ok’/'apply’ now goto: E:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games\GTA IV
7. Delete the ’settings’ folder
It should work now, but you’ll have to reset all your settings
Let me now if works!

Hi, I really need the help of you guys here who managed to install GTA IV successfully, for something small
My GTA IV installation ran into a CRC error and didn’t copy over the whole nj_liberty.img file. Could you kind saints post a download of it up for me somewhere?
Thank you. (:
I was getting an error right after the legal screen but since reinstalling GTA IV it has gone. Now my problem is the video freezing right at the start. The sound keeps going but the video freezes. It is a reset button only solution and has now made my OS unstable.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Here’s what I did to get the game to run. First of all I’m running Vista, so I right clicked on the desktop, went to personalize, went to themes, then selected “Windows Classic Theme”. The fucking game ran with no problem, before I didn’t even see it boot. Someone explain this to me…
Oh and one more thing, when I switch back to Vista Theme, I get the DD3D30 error message again but switch back to classic, its gone runs fine. Its something to do with the Vista theme.
Well when I start my game it crashes instantly.
It doesnt even try and go into the game
Im running on vista.

Believe me I had tried anything and I wasn’t hoping for it to fix anything but it actually helped and I could play GTA IV without any problems besides some memory lag spikes but that is to be fixed with the official patch.

Nobody knows how to run this game?!

It doesnt even try and go into the game
Im running on vista.
i’m runnig on xp,and i works for a few minutes,and then freezes…it’s becoming REEEEAAAALLLYYYY anoying…hope the patch will be released soon!
When I start my game, it would load till the GTA IV logo and then it will crash to the desktop saying GTA IV stopped working or something. I am running on Vista…
For people who has 8800GTS on vista 64x
Every time a start the game it doesnt even start and crashes to desktop with an error message saying that the GTIV.exe has stopped working. I tried everything and the i just changed the wideocard. It worked and i restarted the pc to try again and suddenly it didnt work no more. Then i put my own 8800gts back in and it did start. This made me suspect that there is a problem with drivers and now i found out that everytime before i start the game i have to uninstal the drivers for video car, restart pc, let it find the video card and install drivers automaticaly and the the game will start for one time. I know it is not really a fix but that will let you play this buggware until they sort it out. peace..

Same issue as a few above one exactly the same but here it is…
Game completely freezes, with looping juddering sound. Cannot alt-tab or
ctrl-alt-del - only hard reboot. seems to happen soon as i get to an area where the textures look weird..
This total freeze appears to happen randomly from a minute to twenty minutes
of game play. I have never experienced a crash like this in Vista that
actually breaks the O/S and requires a hard reboot. No error message, so no
idea how to fix. Help?

Hi all !!! my prob is too simple
i don’t use alcohols but this man and its camera always in that mode ! camera moving like heavy used alcohol persons ! from start to end ! 8(
plz help me mates …..
sorry for poor language
In response to number 217 this is because your are using a pirated copy of the game you downloaded off the internet.. the one that rockstar put out there themselves just for the fun of it.. they made it so your screen would give the drunk effect the entire time you are playing.. this is a true story..
In response to number 218 , i know some of my friends get this game like me but they haven’t this problem !
they using pirated versions like me !
@219 : sorry DJMD… no support for game-pirating users >:[

Wow the patch does shit all to my game
WHY AM STILL GETTING DIRECTX 9 VIDEO CARD ERROR? I GOT DIRECTX 9 INSTALLED AND I HAVE A ATI RAEDEON 9250 card
to number 223 your video card is not supported
an ATI Radeo 9250 is WAY to old to support the latest DirectX version
even you CAN install the latest DirectX software DOES NOT mean your video card fully support it.
so in your case i would buy a new graphic card.
and if the rest of your pc is out-dated . i’d probably just buy a new one because this game is asking much of your system resources.
with regards.
jimbo
I don’t see the point in pirating the game. You miss out on a lot of extras (like multilayer and the poster sized map that game with the game) Plus it seems to have more value in it
I wonder if ANYONE is actually playing this game by the looks of it. So many errors, this must be hell for the game programmers in R*. I am experiencing the DD3D50 “DirectX 9″ error, when actually i have DX10 on my computer with my updated ATI 256mb, pentium 4. Maybe I should re-install? I’m trying to tone down all my graphics as much as I can! Please someone give me some advice. This game was $50!
for some reason my computer is saying incompatible with %P what does that mean?
When it says: ur pc is incompatible with %p
you need to:
Right click on it –> compatibilities, tick the box and choose Xp Service pack 2.
Still not working?
Run the setup as a administrator,
Right click –> Run as Administrator
? downloaded the razor version of the game(two times). And extracted the iso files. an mounted the two dvd. and i started the setup. When the first dvd install finished there was a message
“Setup requires a disc change,
please insert disc 2 that contains the file data3.cab.”
ok that’s it i choose the second dvd that i mounted but setup said that;
”
setup could not find a file on the specified path or disk.
please check that the proper disk is inserted or specify a new path.”
that’s the problem. how can i solve it? i downloaded the game 2 times. but setup couldnt find the data3.cab file both. but the file was there.
Just a small tip, Install gta on the primary hard drive not on the secondary.
Don’t know why but this seemed to fix my problems and gta has not crashed since.
After installing the windows live update and downloading the nvidia driver (vista 32-bit) I click play on the Social Club menu, the game begins to load but then nothing happens, it’s just blank. Grrrr! Can anyone help me?
I’ve got a soultion for you comment 229: DON’T PIRATE GAMES
There, problem solved
To comment 231
When you mean it’s blank, do you mean nothing happens at all, or the screen gose black and nothing happens? If so try deleting or moving the GTA IV folder that contains your saved games and stuff (in c:\Documents and Settings\(Your Username\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games in XP, but it might be different in Vista) It worked for me!
The last 2 weeks have been very bad for GTA Iv Fans , First of all it took me almost 2 hours just 2 install the game , after a few hours play the game crashes and the game locks up. Total reboot needed !!! Now i’n trying to download the patch from windows live , cant even log in after 20 tries. Please need advice how to get the game running without crashes. This secure rom crap sucks !!! to much trouble to get a original game working. Rockstar did not think about this. !!! PLEASE WAKE UP ROCKSTAR !!
GTA FREEZES !!!!! *)&)*& !!!!! I have updated the game , updated nvidia to version 180.48 still freezes after about 2 minutes into the game. Any Help PLEASE !! ? I’m scared to unistall and reinstall the game because the first install was a nightmare to regester en update. Please any one with a solution to my problem. THANX …

to comment 236: What graphics card do you have? You might need to update your drivers.
Starting the Rockstar Games Social Club shortcut (or direct file) doesn’t do anything. Starting GTA IV shortcut (or direct file) prompts a DOS screen for about 30 seconds and leaves after that. No Error message.

/Daniel Hanson
THIS IS A COPY OF AN EMAIL I HAVE SENT TO ROCKSTAR SUPPORT.
Hope it can solve some peoples problems…..
Hi, I have been trying to get GTA IV working on my system today, and the good news is I have solved my particular error, and so I am relaying this information to you.
I have a dual-boot system XP/Vista…GTA IV for me worked with no problems at all within Vista, however I mainly use Xp so I wanted to install it there.
Installation on XP was fine, and initial game loading was also fine, however after installing the patch from within the game, then problems occured, every time I tried to load GTA IV I would get a crash to desktop, with just the standard ‘program has an error and need to close etc etc’ message.
Now the really good news is that I traced the error message back to a file named ’s3dwrapperd3d9.dll’
You’ll be pleased to know that this file has nothing at all to do with the GTA IV installation it is a dll ‘wrapper’ hook used by a Stereo 3d driver/app called IZ3D.
What a surprise, i uninstall IZ3D and removed the directory it leaves behind (some files remain upon uninstallation only used by IZ3D) and GTA IV now runs flawlessly on my XP system too.
I would hazard a guess that many people at some point have tried out IZ3D, at least 3 other people I know could not get GTA IV working on their XP installations, and now they have confirmed to me that they can now play the game after deleting the above mentioned files/program
Indeed Nvidia has a stereo driver program and driver package also, but I cannot confirm that s3dwrapperd3d9.dll is used in that scenario, but I guess it could be a possibility.
Im particulary pleased with finding this out because the standard error message is about as vague as vague can be.
Hope this information can help even just 1 other person.
Good luck with the PC itteration of GTA IV
Regards Leigh Foster

hi
I bought the game yesterday… when i insert then disc 1 on the DVD drive… it won’t work…. the autorun doesen’t start!!! i tryed it in two diferent computers…. and it got problems in both… any solutions!?
i have
xp sp3
4gb ram
radeon x1900 512ram
core due 2 2.63ghz
Error: Could not run GTAIV.exe
can somebody help me?
@ANDRES
simply insert disc 1 and navigate to…..
F:\GTAIV then double click on setup.exe
(Replace F: with the name of your dvd drive)
That is to install GTA IV however you will have to install RGSC also which is at F:\RGSC then double click setup.exe
(Once again replace F: with your dvd drive letter)
@ RALPHIE N
Sounds like a bad disc, either get it replaced or maybe try making a virtual image of the disc and try installing it that way with daemon tools or similar.

I was getting CRC errors on install as well. The whole thing about not matching cab size and blah blah blah! Yes I bought the game, it was on disc from BB. So, that out of the way, I called Tech and spent HOURS working through a bunch of different hoops. It is some sort of write error to do with the hard drive I think. We tried to install from disc, from HD, to a back up drive, from a back up drive…etc. Finally I tried to install it on a different machine and it installed, no hickups. I then went back to the original machine, installed and ignored the errors. I wrote down the names of the files it was hanging on and copied them from the second computer. Wahlah! The game has worked without hickup! If you have access to another machine, give this a try. I have a feeling its something that can not be resolved easily. Trust me, tech tried a whole lot of stuff and even escalated me to level 2. That was the point I just said, let me try it my way and it seems to have worked for now.
For the problem of non responding computers at TW@ internet cafe:(usually in ‘final interview’)
This problem happens if you have neglected the missions Brucie sends you through the email. For me, an SMS reached my cell phone from brucie re-requesting to open my email inbox to see the jobs he wants me to do, the SMS popped on my way to final interview mission. I solved the problem by turning the sleep mode on in my cell phone before the sms could reach me (after loading a previous save game) and I completed the mission normally, after the mission I finished the first of Brucie’s jobs, the same SMS reached me though, but this time I can use the internet cafe with no problems….!!!

The problem is the same game dvd is working on other computers(like in your case), but it’s giving CRC errors after 90% installation in my PC…:(….YEah bad luck!
I am thinking of re-installing my OS, but after 1 month :p
I bought GTA 4 from a store, I have a vista and i got .NET Framework 3.5 installed. Da hole game is installed and i click on da LauchGTAIV.exe and this Black box comes up(i think itz called a command window) and nuthin happins, wheres da game??? all i see is da black box with no errors.
since i have upgraded my ram to 3GB when i launch GTA the loading screen with all the charqacters and the music repeats for like 10 times
@ fReaK
Ouch. That is way down the install too. My XP sp 3 install is not even a month old as well. Do you have any older GTA versions installed?
Well, if push comes to shove, copy and move the files if you really want to play or get ready for hour after hour of tech support trying a million different things. Or just shelve it for now. I do have to say though, now that the game is working, it was worth doing the copy thing for me. Hope it gets better for you!
@freak r U talking to me ?
Possible solution for Sapphire HD 4870 users experiencing in game unrecoverable crashes (Pixelation):
I just upgraded my video card from a 8800GTS to a 4870. GTA was working fine with no issues with the 8800GTS but when i slapped in the 4870 i was exposed to constant crashes. The game would start fine but 5-10mins of playing would result is strange pixelation on the screen and the system would require a hard reset, no other option.
Solution:
I went to my video card manufacturers website, in this case Sapphire and downloaded the latest VBIOS (Video BIOS, different to drivers and normal BIOS) Then tried using AtiWinflash to flash the new VBIOS. This failed as it needed to be in ‘Pure Dos’ mode. I then tried using ultimate bootcd
http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ to boot off a dvd image. Then selected bootable dos disk and chose one of the DOS bootdisk options, i was then able to change cd’s to the one i burnt earlier’ (T:drive)the one with the new VBIOS and program ‘flash.bat’. Once i updated the VBIOS and rebooted, launched GTA IV, no more crashes!!! WOOT. You can also use a bootable USB key but in my case i could not get the USB method working so i just used 2 cd’s (1x Ultimate boot cd & 1x VBIOS dos utility and updated bios file)
Hope this helps some1 else out there. If you find it helpful, please give credit where it’s due yo!!
**Note latest Ati Catylist Drivers were used & GTA IV Patch #1 also when experiencing this problem mentioned above.
I should also mention that people that are experiencing texture loss, if you are using the -nomemrestrict -norestrictions -novblank command line after the shortcut (This bypasses the memory restrictions in GTA IV)
If you only have 256MB or 320MB of video memory, your game will not run with high texture settings, it may not even run on medium, you will experience high texture loss/ transparency.
You might get away with it if you have more than 512mb of video memory though. I have a 512mb card and can crank it to High texture and highest render with no texture loss at all. (past the supposed ‘835mb’ of required memory)

Hi there is very disappointing with gta4!…
Ok heres my problem. I install gta 4 fine i get the sp2 error but i fixed that by dling sp3. I go to install net.framework 3.5 sp1 after 4 mins after installation the pc freezes. If i restart it freezes on the desktop at the same time.
i have service pack 2/geforce 9600gt/3gb ram/pentinum D./and NET.framework 2.0.
i realy need help
everytime i try to install the game he say at the start: your system is incompatible with %P. and he tells me to click on the link below it but nothing happens, can anyone help me?
hey there…
GTA 4 was working perfectly fine for about 3 days. tHE computer wanted to do some damn updates so i was getting annoyed by them so i just did them. After that my game hasnt worked. Dono if its the updates or what??
When I open the game a black box (like command prompt) opens and then goes into a full screen black mode and then the computer shows some blue screen with some text for about 1 second and then restarts the computer!!! help will be great!
I have uninstalled it a million times but nothing and even tried to start it in safe mode! Aaaaaaargh this game is irritating me!
Specs-
~GEFORCE 8400 512ram
~Core 2 Duo 2.2ghz
~1 gig ram

hey guys, just bought the game new,
when im almost done with installing its busy updating directX and then visual C++ components, and he freezes at that part, i looked it up on internet and it says it’s the graphic card to blame, but i have a Nvidia GeForce GTX 260, which is from the new serie of cards, so why has GTA no compatibility with my card? because i saw someone playing GTA with GTX 280
to those who are experiencing RGSC.exe error:
RGSC has encoutnered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
If you were in the middle of something, the information you were working on might be lost.
Solution:
install the required redistirbutables from the DVD in the RGSC folder..dont remember them exactly but guess they are flash related codecs that needs to be installed which are on the dvd.
please report if it worked
It seems I will be the first one to have a WS10 error problem…
You are not the first to have the WS10 problem. What I did was installed the 1.0.1.0 patch. Then, when the WS10 problem happened again, I re-installed the patch. That fixed it for me!
If it doesn’t work for you, reformat Windows and install a fresh copy. It took me 4 reformats =/.

can gta 4 run on GEFORCE 8400, DDR2 512??
I got multiple problems with the game:
First of all when I start the game after the loading screen I keep getting a loop of the intro sound.
This ends after a while and then my sound starts to fade out, eventually I only hear an irritating buzz and no other sounds…
The other problem is huge frame drop after a while, when I go check my core and memory speeds of graphics card: they are to low and I can’t get em up again unless I reboot
Hi I need help I just unlocked last Island but when I do anything the cops dont go after me they just walk around like peds , even when i shoot them they walk away like nothing happened.
hi. please help me. when i run lunchgtaiv it show me an error :
The application you are attepting to lunch fail to startt. this could be result of it being blocked by windows parental controls/ family safety. please make sure you have access to the application before trying to lunch it, or contact support at rockstargames/support
so i dont use win vista. i use xp sp3 and it doesnt any parental control.i used razor and fedor path but it doesnt work. what should i do for solve this problem.
I have a fix for the random freezing and crashing errors ! It may not work for all, but it did for me and now i can play no problems! IF you are running 3GB of RAM in XP, you need to remove 1GB so that you only have 2GB, as GTA IV has conflicts with using the extra 1GB properly thus resulting in crashes and freezes !
Hope this helps, Merry Christmas !!!!
@matsod (#83)
i had the same problem and you won’t get any fix from the web yet. i tried for at least 7-8 hrs. after that i went to the guy who got the original 7gb disks, made a new copy and now it is installed.got it working. for me the error was a broken copy of the installation disk.

i have a new CPU, amd x2 5600+ 2.8 ghz, 3 gb of ram, nvidia 9500 geforce GT, game freezes and only 20-30 min of playing before it starts to freeze like a bitch, i tried removing 1 gb of ram like n. 308, did not work for me though…. Rockstar sucks ass!!!!!!!!!!!@@@@@@
since i got GTA 4, i had problems, then i decided to upgrade my processor and motherboard, and finally a new vid card, well over minimum requirements, as my old specs were all minimum but it still ran GTA 4, but horribly, even with the new patch, and new nvidia drivers,… now that ive spend over 600$ to uprage my PC (just to play to gta 4) i find myself fucked both ways since the game did not improve in anyway!!! Thank you rockstar for ruining me finacially, and ruining my holidays!! THANK YOU AGAIN ROCKSTAR!!!
Maybe we should not blame it on Rockstar…Windows is just as guilty!!!!!!!!!!!
I have installed grand theft auto 4..i failed to connect to internet to perform (confirm the release date of software has passed),i know stupid me.When i try to do it now it won’t let me,it just says to launch rockstar social club…the only icon on desktop is for social club,there are no game icons.i tried to uninstall game from control panel(add or remove programs), comes with message( failed to release SecuROM licence).I am running vista home prem sp1.I tried rockstar fix (licence removal tool) with no success it tells me there is no licence to remove.Any help would be much appriciated
just like alot of people i bought gta 4 today. I installed it and everyting went fine until i got to the date check thing. I get an error that says i dont have an active internet connection. But i do have an acitve one which is running at the time. I serched around online and it said that port 433 or somthing like that needs to let it get the site. So i click on a button that says activate manually. The first time i clicked it it worked and i had to get all the numbers online from another site. So i did all that and when i went to go type all the info in the window was gone. Now when i click the activate manually button nothing shows up. What can i do to make it work? IS there a way to show that i have an active interet connection so it will do it automatically or is there a way to get that dang window to open?
thanks
Need help people… My game was running gr8 for the past 20 days but just today my game started crashing at one particular point in a mission.
In the mission ‘Three Leaf Clover’, after I rob the bank and try to cover my team mates.. My game crashes to the desktop giving a “GTA IV has stopped working” message. Every time I play the mission my game crashes at that exact same point.
I have come so far in the game and it has NEVER crashed even once till I reached this mission! And I have no other parallel missions to complete so I’m stuck in the game now!
This is so frustrating Rockstar. I hope You stop coming out with lame patches and come out with one BIG patch that fixes everything or at least fix the major game crashes!
Here’s my config:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5600+ 2.81 Ghz
4 x 1GB RAM
3 x 500GB HDD Space
1 x NVIDIA GEFORCE 8800GTX 768MB (Working the latest beta drivers 180.84 which fixed quite a lot of bugs)
Windows Vista Ultimate
GTA IV Retail Version (Applied all the updates)
i did problem one right at the top but hasnt worked
i have a problem with gta 4 fantel error rmn30 how to fix it can you tell me the solution.
I also hear that we can only revoke our license 4 times before the license runs out ?
Is that true ?
Using a Nvidia 7950 GT. I have the missing textures as well as a jacked up HUD (and when you hit esc to access menu, nothing really appears). I installed the beta patch (180.84), tried a variety of graphics setting permutations, and several other suggestions I’ve seen posted about to no avail. I’ve seen posts of other folks with the 7950 having similar issues, but haven’t seen any solutions posted other than the beta driver suggestion. Any ideas?
After installing gta I can play the game ONE time and then once I reboot after that one time the Windows login screen wont come up, it causes my windows to not load the login screen at all unless booted in safe mode. I have had to reinstall xp 2 times to remedy this problem. Is it something stupid I am overlooking that could be causing this? If not anyone wanna trade my gta for something else?
in my gta 4 when i start the game music is CRAZY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WHY!!!!?????????
I’ve been enjoying this game, even though it runs kind of choppy. I’m not sure why it does though because I have above minimum requirements:
2.4 Ghz AMD Athlon 64 4000+
Nvidia GeForce 8800 GT
2.5 GB RAM
Soundblaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio
So aside from choppiness that I don’t know the source of, I for some reason cannot quit GTA IV. The screen turns black and the game hangs when I click quit and accept. Also, when I try to load another save game, it does the same thing, only with the loading screen. Does anyone else have this problem?
Hi, Similar problem to ‘Angry GTA Fan’ but different. I bought GTA IV and I put disc 1 in and when it gets to the “Insert Disc 2″ e.t.c the disc wont eject. There is no fault with my PC and if I cancel the installation, I can eject the disc but thats stupid. (I have all minimum requirements and Windows XP with the service pack).
Please help :S
i tries to install it, but in the middle of CD1 an error message appears, catastrophic failure.

Quite often when a video sequence is about to start it sort of freezes, there is some moving animation, like smoke, fans and such like, but i have to force quit the game, its starting to piff me off. I got a C2D E8400 o/c @ 3.75Ghz, 680i Mobo, 8GB DDR2 800 and a 8800GTS 640MB, got the latest beta drivers from NVIDIA, which it recommends and im running VISTA x64.
Ive tried to install GTA IV but when i press acceptit says: Your system is imcompatible with %P
For those who have crappy systems. YOUR PC WILL NOT RUN THIS GAME! You must at least have a decent cpu, a dual core minimum, you must have a high end video card NO exceptions, you MUST have more than 1 gig of memory. GTA is a cpu and graphics card intensive game. So if you dont have a heavy duty gamming rig you main as well shelf this one guys or wait 5 years to play it.
Well, I have a quad core 2.2, 2gb 1066Mhz RAM, and 9600GT 1Gb.
A friend of mine has core duo 2.0, 1gb 800Mhz RAM, and a crappy 256Mb graphic card and still he can play it, I can’t because of stupid errors that have a Rockstar solution “reinstall the game”. After reinstalling the game 10 times you realize it’s just not worth it. I’ll wait for some miracle patches if they ever come out.

how do i lower texture resolution??? plz plz tell me so i can play this suposedly wicked awsome game that i had to wait an entire year to get plz tell me!!!
Alright. After struggling for 12+ hours, the game finally succumbed to human interference. Thank you everyone - this is the place where games come to work. In the hands of persistent fans.
My Solution:
Clean format -> no installations but essential windows sp3+net frame 3.0 + sp1.
Latest Nvidia 180.48 drivers -> override game settings -> set global settings to your likings.
@TODD 309. Removed the /3gb command in boot.ini -> immediate succes! Cheers, comrade.
Running max res+detail w/o any interference whotsoever.
This game rocks!
I have still a problem. GTA IV Fatal Error RMN40. So I downloaded the server pack 3. I Installed it. But still i got the GTA IV Fatal Error RMN40. Please can somebody help me?
And oh - my rig:

4 gb pc6400 (only running 2 per default in xp)
xfx gf8800 gtx 768mb
Cheers again to all of you!
Happy new year!
When im installing GTA about half way through a warning comes up saying:
the request could not be preformed because of the I/O
what does this mean?
@Soff
I/O usually has to do with either your HDD or Optical media connection. Bad sectors on the game itself or your HDD is off. Either way - that aint good..
Ok, so far, I haven’t seen anyone with my problem. I run setup for GTA IV, everything works out smoothly until I get to the last stage. It says “your system is incompatible with %P, please follow the link below for furthur information”. I turned the firewall off and everything. Has anyone else had this problem? How do I fix it? Thanks.
GTA IV Fatal Error WS10 … This was really annoying, but not anymore.
I got this fricking error every time I launched the game. EVERYTHING was installed properly. Latest Windows Live components, patch to XP for Live, patch to GTA IV, latest drivers, etc.
I took the advice of a post above this one, and ran the first patch for GTA4 AGAIN (dated 12/12/2008). WITH Rockstar Games Social Club Running.
No reboot, and the WS10 error went away.
Thanks guys,
Jim
RMN40 error means SP3 for XP is not installed. Check the OS details to make sure the SP3 patch installed properly.
Click Start/Run and type:
winmsd.exe
Press enter.
Version should show:
Version 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600
Here’s a list of error codes from RockStar:
http://www.rockstargames.com/support/gta4pc/GTAIV_Error_Codes_ALL_EN.html
Good Luck,
Jim
Also-
If you followed the tip from Post# 75 (create shortcut, enable compatibility mode for Windows 2000 to fix a freeze issue at start), GTA4 will think you’re running in Windows 2000 and produce a RMN40 error!
Disable app compatibility via the shortcut or by right-clicking on the EXE, going to properties, and selecting the “Compatibility” tab. Sometimes you need to change it directly on the EXE, even if you made the change against a shortcut.
Good Luck,
Jim
hello everyone

thanks for everyone who read :).
Fix for WS10 Error.
I had this problem and here is how I fixed it.
Uninstalled all “Microsoft games for windows live” in add/remove programs.
(should be 2 of those programs to remove,”Microsoft games for windows live” and “Microsoft games for windows live redistributable”)
Then uninstalled the game.
Ran CCleaner
Restarted PC
Reinstalled GTAIV, clicked play on the Social club and
Social club forced me to update Windows live with the latest “Microsoft games for windows live” and it provided a direct link, installed that.
Ran GTAIV… NO ERROR
HEAD SHOT!!!
Also just my opinion. PC’s worst port on release in history or the worst that I’ve encounterd. It really seems they pushed it out the door just in time for christmas shoppers.

h played gta iv for tow weeks but now i have a probles i dont know how can i fix it i try all but still , the error begin after i uninstalled windows live messenger 2009 beta i unistalled it by put this cod ( msiexec /x {5524A0D4-F826-4961-9B53-EFF6C615251B} ) in start - run but after that i cant open rockstar social club , gta iv and games for windows live whithot any error message , how can i fix it ??
I got a problem where I’ll be playing GTA IV and out of random, the game completely freezes and just stops working. Everything is frozen. I can CRTL ALT DEL my way out of it, but then the game isn’t saved and it just sucks! It seems to happen a lot when I’m in the main part of the city.
I’ve got a Core2Quad Q9450, ATi Radeon 4870 and 4GB of RAM.. any solutions?
#338 could still really use an answer please, thanks.
I have the same problem as 355, which a lot of others on this forum have been reporting. I have an HD4870 512mb and have Vista 64 on my hdd which the game would run on but randomly freeze (blocky screen, sound judder, then nothing)either in game or in a menu etc… Emailed Rockstar tech support, they said install latest Ati drivers, game patch, and for some reason Rivatuner v2.22. Anyway did all that and the game still freezes.
Reading some other forums i found Win Xp users seemed to be fairing quite well so yesterday i went and brought a second hdd and installed it with my old copy of XP and applied sp3 etc… The game seemed great at first i managed to do 1st mission and do a bit of multiplayer but then, all of a sudden, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!
So if there’s one thing i can clarify its that these problems are not solely related to the OS you are running, more likely related to hardware. I notice a lot of people with this freezing problem have 4870’s so i am now looking at what ‘Flasher’ in number 277 says and updating my VBIOS somehow, maybe that will finally relieve these problems.
Hope this helps everyone.

1) Crash to desktop with Resc10 error
This happens after I’ve been playing for a little while and then press Esc to go to the menu. The cause is apparently a video memory leak. It can be prevented by lowering your texture resolution by one notch. I started out at high and moved to medium, which resolved it.
2) Game completely freezes, with looping juddering sound. Cannot alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del - only hard reboot.
This total freeze appears to happen randomly from a minute to twenty minutes of gameplay. I have never experienced a crash like this in Vista that actually breaks the O/S and requires a hard reboot. No error message, so no idea how to fix. Help?

I Got GTA IV on XP Sp3 after it loads Rockstar trade marks and grand theft auto Logo it just crashes showing windows error message i reinstalled service pack 3 and .net framework 3.5 but still same problem
N.B. : Tried patch
My PC Specs low but i know that it can run GTA IV on lowest settings:
Intel core2duo e6300 1.86GHz
nNvidia GeForce 8400 SE
2 GB Ram
any fix to this problem?
For those of you who are having the “Freeze” issue, as I was, have alook at the temperature of your Videocard.
I had just bought the EVGA Nvidia 9800GTX+(512) to replace me EVGA Nvidia 8600(256)and thought I was all set until the game kept freezing. I went to http://downloads.guru3d.com/ and downloaded/installed Rivatuner V2.22. On the main page of Rivatuner under “Driver Settings” there is a Tab called Customize, click on that, then on System Settings and make sure your Fan is turned up to atleast 75%(mine is turned up to 100%). I’m not sure why the setting was tunred down so low(35%)from the factory, however after making that adjustment the game runs great at 1600 x 1200 at medium/high settings.
I hope this helps somebody!
Following up to number 358, i have managed to update the VBIOS of my HD4870 graphics card with files from the manufacturer using the same method as described in number 277 (Thanks to ‘Flasher’ for that);-)
I also have the sapphire version so downloaded http://us.sapphiretech.com/driver/478.zip, and used UltimateBootCD to boot into DOS mode and apply the update.
The freeze issue i was getting virtually every time i ran the game seems to have been resolved, just tried it for about 30 mins after updating and the it ran without freezing even in places where it would definitley freeze before, so fingers crossed!
Can’t say if it will work for all other manufacturers but its definitley worth a go.
Hope this helps.
#338 skyking i got this problem as well randomly when starting the game, kept coming up with encountered error and needs to close, tryed reinstalling, & i got the exact same prob as you, i looked at disc and theres a very small scratch but visible on the inside ring, i dont know if it is that but i would take it back and get a new copy as thats what im doing.
GUYS IF YOU GET THIS THE DATACAB PROBLEMS!!!
Feature transfer error

It basically means your disc is screwed, try cleaners toothpaste whatever lol, im taking mine back to get a new copy, i tryed copying the disc and it got stuck on datacab2…..and guess what… cyclic redundancy check lol :P. Bu
#355 OwaisBoss76, i was getting this as well mate, what you have to do is uninstall .net framework 3.5sp1 if you have it and 3.0 after, restarting between each one, once done install the .net framework 3.5sp1 again the big file here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en
This download includes updates and after i installed and restarted i could run rockstar club just fine.
hope it works for you guys!!
#328 Danny, This choppiness you are on about, do you mean fps lag? this could be coz of intensive areas in the game that use several effects like car headlights, the more there are the more your cpu will be used, also this probaly happens because your processor is not dual core, & the game is meant to be played on dual cores. Your other problem could be a firewall stopping windows live etc saving loading etc etc. I had this when qutting C&C3 online, i had to open some ports on router and unblock the game and it was fine there after
unless i read wrong and you do have a dual core processor try overclocking it
alright. this is a screen shot of what my error looks like.

#370 lol im completely stumped about that problem then… maybe its something to do with net framework or some random settings in the computer, i just thought it was disc because i got same error when trying to copy it. Only other thing i can to confirm whether its the disc or your computer is try it on another computer
I have a problem and partial solution for some people experiencing the same situation. I have successfully installed GTA4 on my pc that has the following specs:
P4 quad-core q6600
Gefore 9800 gtx+
3 gigs of pc5300
Windows Vista SP1
When I open up the RSGS and click “play” it minimizes the menu launches the launchgtaiv.exe and never loads the game. It looks like its trying to and then it just brings up the RSGS menu again. I have been able to fix this problem by disabling my internet and running the game in offline mode. It then starts the game. However, if I go into the options for like a minute it crashes to desktop without any errors. Or it I start the game, right before it says the name of the first mission (right after the loading screen) it crashes to desktop. This is a legal, purchased version of GTA4. I can’t figure out how to fix the crashing part of even run the game in normal mode. If anyone has any suggestions or solutions please let me know. My computer should easily be able to handle this game.
When I put in disc 2 during the installation of gta 4 (when the notice tells me to)and press ok the intallation programs stops responding.
any solutions?
#372, have you got .Net Framework 3.5sp1 installed?
hello!!!, the city around me not load?? it takes forever. I run around in midair! Help will be great. I got all the minumim req. and have updated my drivers… you can see the buildings disappear right in front of me! its so irritating!!!
HELP!!
I am using NVIDIA GE force 7025. I have the “Missing textures problem”.
For People With DVD INSTALL PROBLEMS:
Since the error is occurring at the same place for everyone, I think the location is EXACTLY where the DVD layer-change occurs on the DVD. These discs are dual-layer, and it’s possible some DVD drives are having trouble with “layer change” on second disc.
If possible, please try a different DVD Drive (e.g. use an external DVD-Rom), or update your DVD drive’s firmware, or BOTH. BTW - your DVD Drive should be no more than about a 2 years old!
Here’s a GREAT site for DVD firmware updates. They provide links to the manufacturer for 1000’s of disc drives:
http://forum.rpc1.org/portal.php
Lastly - can people with install errors report the make/model/firmware of their DVD drive?
Good Luck,
Jim
hello to all,,,

@ SG
Check the temperature of your videocard with a program called Rivatuner 2.22. I had the same problem, but it stopped once I increased the Fan speed of my videocard to 100%, videocard was overheating.
->Ken
sorry, but your advice didn’t work,,, the temperature of the VGA was a solid 57°C during gameplay with the fan speed at 100%. . .
Game completely freezes, with looping juddering sound. Cannot alt-tab or ctrl-alt-del - only hard reboot.
This total freeze appears to happen randomly from a minute to twenty minutes of gameplay. I have never experienced a crash like this in Vista that actually breaks the O/S and requires a hard reboot. No error message, so no idea how to fix. Help?
I am having the same problem as #382.
Anyone have a solution?

Hello people, i´m spanish so i will write the best i know.
OK, i´ve downloaded GTA IV from the internet for PC & there where the data of the dvd´s butit was compressed each cd in a .iso document. I´ve extracted them whit no problem, but now, the problem is that when I start the Autorun.exe file there appears a problem that says:[...] an error has ocurred (-5001 : 0xffffec75)[...]. Now I don´t know what to do. Thank u with all your helps!!
Now I put the same in spanish if somebody in here understands it! thank you!!!
Hola gente, me he descargado de internet el GTA 4 para PC y venia en dos archivos (.iso). Se llaman GTA IV DVD 1 y GTA IV DVD 2.
Los he extraido y he intentado instalar. Alpinchar sobre el Autorun.exe aparece un cuadro de error que dice lo siguiente:
Se ha producido un error (-5001 : 0xffffec75)al ejecutar el programa de instalación.
También pone algo de cerrar todos los demás programas (que lo hago) y de esperar a que terminen otras instalaciones actuales, pero no tengo ninguna instalación funcionando a la vez que el instalador del GTA IV.
Estaría muy agradecido con vuestras ayudas!! Un saludo!!

Also having the same problem as matsod (post 83). Install freezes at about 1% of disc 1, on cnt.bik file. I’ve tried about 6 installs. Would appreciate any suggestions.
my pc specs are
3gb ram
2.26ghz core 2 duo
nvidia 9300gs 128mb
the game runs fine and smooth but when i start a mission the game keeps loading and loading and crashes
you know, i figured the cnt.bik issue was just my dvd drive taking literally a half hour per disc. That one file took me about 6 minutes. The install is crawling along right now. I’ll come back to the forum for support when I actually starting getting in-game errors
Same problem as 45 and 26 with doss screen then nothing happens no error message… I havent came accros a solution for this problem yet any help? If got the retailed game.

My pc specs are:
Core duo 2,66
4GB Ram

Replying to my own problem on post 393: The installation was going SO SLOW that I had to make an ISO file out of disc 2 because my DVD drive would stop reading after a few seconds. I got through disk 1 by just clicking “Explore disk” when it was in the drive, this would cause it to spool up and the install would continue working after freezing for a few minutes. Unfortunately this did not work on disc 2, and for some reason explorer.exe would stop working whenever I tried this spool method. Like I said, I had to create an ISO file so the install could read information off of my hard disk. Rockstar really Fubar’d this game on PC format.
jesus f’ing christ. don’t anyone pay money for this game. I’ve spent the last f’ing hour creating a rockstar social club account, creating a windows live account, creating a windows games account, creating a windows live.com e-mail, and then creating another windows game account because they wouldn’t link up. This game fucking sucks
I was paying GTA4 just fine tell I discover that the meddle island is missing (there is no ground or buildings in it ,when i get to it the player starts falling and never stop ) >> !!!
what is the problem ?

The game was working fine until recently due to unknown resan crashes to desktop as soon as it starts to load textures. Meaning that as soon as i get out of the safe house the performance slows down until eventually within 2 to 3 seconds crashes to the desktop.

I will not waste a half second to tell my disgusting experience with GTA IV. I’ve played Call of Duty 4, 5 with highest resolutions. I’ve played others games and all worked fine with me. The QUESTION here is not how fast your damn computer is. THis is not the question for GTA IV. All the problems take us to the source of GTA IV issues= the Rockstar Games! Solution? A great and complete PATCH! Not a damn patch!
WHAT CAN WE DO NOW= sit and wait! And try other games instead Gta iv.

Heya im having trouble installing GTA 5 on my laptop. it keeps saying that my laptop is not compatable with %P but i can’t figure out what it’s talking about. Anyone lend me a hand?
I found a way about the freeze during game play problem.
My GTA IV Freeze about 1 or 2 min with gameplay and i need to restart Windows.
How i solve this problem.
Create a file named commandline.txt with this content:
-windowed
Put this file in the GTAIV.exe folder.
This will make GTA start in Windowed mode, and in this mode, it will not freeze. At least work for me.
There’s a lot of commands you can you in this file, included -safemod
If you want more details about this file i suggest google gta iv pc commandline.txt
or
gta iv pc memory leak
You’ll find some commandline.txt with a lot of commands, for download.
Best wishes for all.
GTA IV Doesn’t install on vista. :

GAME RUNS… BUT CRASH AFTER SOME MINUTES.. DAMN IT!
# 443 and all friends here which are in same situation like me= game crashing about 1 to 10 min of gameplay. Since I’ve installed ‘GTA IV’ I’ve seen some issues like textures artifacts and random game crash. So I’ve been waiting for a DAMN PATCH and when it comes to life, installed and nothing yet= game still crashing!!!…. Ok I’ve waiting for a NEW and HELPFUL patch… A second patch on the way= AGAIN! Game “STILL” crashing after some minutes.
There is one last breath for try to play= PLAY IT IN WINDOWED MODE.
Can it be a possible solution? I’ve not tested yet. Hope it works finally! I dont wanna sit here and begin to DEVELOP (by myself) a new and recoded compilation called GTA IV ver2.0.
LOL
Help…I start play gta 4,and after 1-2 minutes it crashs…Eror is resc10
Hello friends! Are you tired with so many Crashes in GTA IV? i’m too! But I discovered one solution that can solve the crashes. Before teste I were certified that i’ve using latest graphic drivers (catalyst 9.1 29-jan for my Radeon 4850) and patch for gta. Then I play and it crashed after some minuts…
To get ride of crahses I used a tip found on web= Play in WINDOWED mode. I
To get ride of crashes I used a tip found on web= Play in WINDOWED mode. Ok lets go= create a file called “commandline.txt”, then edit and type= -windowed; then save and launch GTA***launch.exe
Ensure that GTA IV will open in window then play and let me known your own experience after this tip. Bye and have fun!

Guys if you have the Datacab problems while installing GTA for example
Feature: Grand theft Auto IV
Component: GTAIV_Dynamic
File: E:/GTAIV/data2.cab
Error: Data error (cyclic reduncy check).
Do not bother trying to fix your computer, try updating your dvd drive, make sure its dual layer, if still doesnt work get a new one, i had this problem for weeks, tryed so many things, defragging, reinastalling xp, this worked for me straight away after installing a new dvd drive.
I have got an nvidia geforce 8400 gs 512mb graphics card.
GTA 4 is running slow when i configure it to maximum.
please help me , I want it to run in max settings without slowing down. I have a winXP sp3,2gb ram.
suggest a solution.
# 455, don’t be st**** man. Your graphic card is very slow to get GTA IV running stable (40 fps or more) in high settings. For a good play, go to graphic settings under game and then click on “auto-detect”. Even with my Sapphire HD 4850 i cant play on highest res @ 1680×1050.
As I figure out so far, problems related with this game are about crashes, not about performance. Rockstar games must keep an eye with crashes issues…
i’m having some trouble launching the game. everytime i want to start the game, it says “fatal error” without a code.
i have:
- ATI Radion Mobile HD1600 –> driver = X1950
- 2GB RAM
- 2x 1.66 GHz memory
plz reply soon, i’m kinda desperate… :s
I have a xfx geforce 8400 gs graphics card. I installed gta4 ,

I am having an odd problem with GTA IV the game will run fine until I get into a car as soon as I hit something with the car I get the error GTA IV has stopped working everytime I have done all the updates and have a q8200 quad core processor with 6.0 gigs of ram and ATI Radeon 4670 and running windows vista 64 I was running on windows vista 32 just fine anyone have any ideas
I got this error :
the application u r attempting to lunch failed to start. this could be the result of it being blocked by windows parental control/family safety . Plz make sure you have access to the application before trying to lunch it .
any one have any idea
I was having random lock-ups, which necessitated hard-resets each time. I tried Flasher’s suggestion above - flashing the Vbios, and it seems to have worked perfectly. Give it a go if you are getting freezes with a Radeon 4870 HD.
Thanks Flasher!

Hello everyone!
I see that people still have problems with the game. I had too. First time, I downloaded a rip (not the original one) but it didnt work. The game crashed to desktop with no error. I was really mad. I started to look for a solution and found alot too but guess what: None of them worked. Then I dled the original one, installed it, and it worked!! I was really happy to finally play the game. But a week ago, when I was about to play again, It crashed like the first time. I was really suprised, one day it works than tomorrow it crashes??!! I reinstalled the game, but it still crashed. I was furious, and uninstalled the game for sure. Now I decided to reinstall it today because I was getting bored with other games. So I gave it try and it worked!!! The game is running again… Dont know how dont know why.
I’m not joking, it’s really happened to me. With this I want to prove that it is almost impossible to indentify all the problems. I couldnt identify mine too.
# 462 - Sam : Looks like the same problem as mine. Maybe yours will start one day again.
my GTA 4 fake launcher by by fedor wouldn’t run. even i fixed all those errors.
When I hit the PLAY button in rock star social club thing the FEDOR thing pops up and i wait there for about 5 minutes.
nothing happens, no error or any sign it just stays there, and the game wouldn’t even launch.
I have this problam
http://i42.tinypic.com/289kg3k.jpg
i have vista
a 2 GB RAM
a C2D 2,0 GHz CPU
and a NVIDIA GF 8600 GT
CAN you help me
I installed my gta iv copy on vista (note this error happens in xp) i have the new patch installed when i play vlads mission clean getaway when niko gets into the car he does not call vlad and when i calll vlad he only has the answering machine i dont get it is R* trying to fuck with me or did somthing go wrong with the install go wrong also my spelling is fucked up because the site is so long and i guess it takes to much ram
Ok, I have been having a “Data Transfer Error” for a while and could not install GTA 4. When someone told me to check the CD for scratches I noticed several spots from water that had spilled onto the disk. I just wiped it off with a LCD screen cleaning cloth and it installed perfectly.
If you are having this problem I strongly suggest cleaning the disk with the softest material you can find.
[GTAIV] FILE CHECK FIX ERROR !
Sorry, but this version of gtaiv.exe is not supported .
Supported versions : 1.0.0 and 1.0.1
??? I get this when i try to start the game, I just downloaded this game yesterday. and kinda annoyed i cant play >_>
Anyone have some ideas?
i have problem with the mission : clean getaway
and i have problem with graphics. i have ge force 8400 with 512ram
Game frezzes every time I quit and every time I try to load my game again while playing, forcing me to reboot.
Please help me.
and i put the disk 1 in and there comes a window up. Right away there is a problem i cant see anything on it? there are some strange symbols on it and some numbers “89e07e1d100″ (probably some wrong programming) but there is also a small box and a large box. i pressed the small one because i thought it was NEXT but just closed down the window so i tried the large on and it started some instilation wizzard or some crap. after that there came a new windo but here Nico was on the backround and i could see evrything so i pressed next, next, next and finaly install. but i guess that’s not enough it took like 10 seconds and it went to next page and there it say “your system is INCOMPATIBLE with %P Follow the link below for more information” so i pressed the link but nothing happend. WHAT THE %&#! what is %P??? so can anyone help please??? thank you.
So i just bought the game (finaly)
IGNORE THE MESSAGE ABOVE!
i found out how to make it compatible by reading evry message in this page until i found someone with same problem. and i installed the game. took about 1 hour or so and i started the game! but ofcourse nothing can be to simple so there came a Error “GTA IV Fatal Error:RMN40″ so i tried starting it with Adminstrator but no… then i tried to make it Compatible with Windows XP SP 2 like i did with the installation when it diddent work, but no… so anyone know what i should do? i will continue reading all the messages on this page until i find someone with same problem and got it fixed… thank you
i wouldn’t ever come here if not a problem… here it is: i’ve deleted GTA IV and now i wanna reinstal it. But hell no ! I run it DeamonTools, press button which should start instaling (button called WS/WindowsShell/Manifest) and nothing happens. If anyone know the answer, e-mail me : marciusas@gmail.com
Or this forum of course.
Thanks for reading if u did ;D
i have a problem, when i’m playing teh mission “threes a crowd” or something like that, and at the end when i go to the clothe shop, and messages pop up like usual, then as long as i move, the whole screen start to go crazy, the pixels are messed up, even i quite the game, it still is messed up, and i had to restart the computer. any ideas?????
My problem is that, when I throw a grenade and it explodes my game freezes and then crashes with Windows saying that Grand Theft Auto IV has quit unexpectedly (I am using Vista with the latest drivers). The same thing also happens when the game has got to do a lot of rendering. I am using a Nvidia GTX 285 at 1900 x 1200 and medium/high settings.

Update to the latest service packs (SP1 for Vista, SP3 for XP).
As for my problem (post 288), GTA IV managed to run well without crashing for a bit, but now it’s going back. Occasional memory re-seats help (a bit) and I’m defragging again at the moment, but the game has been crashing on me all day long. It’s so annoying that I don’t run into any error messages to debug (even Event Viewer gives me a POS definition), yet my game runs completely smoothly (maxed out except for textures and view distance).
459, I too am having the same problem. When I get into a car, or basically when i run into anything, the game crashes to the desktop and I get this:

the error im having is when i click the icon to launch the game nothing happens. i uninstalled sp3 so i can use a xbox360 controller, which the game is compatible with, but i think i need sp3 to play does anyone know how i can play gtaiv with my controller???
GTA IV Caused a severe crash after one minute of playing that my machie suddenly reboots. now the issue I statet previously here that message from securom that I have no disk, proved to be a severe DVD break down. seems that GTA destroys DVD/CD drives when crashing…
I have installed to latest patches updated latest ATI radeon drivers and still it hangs my computer like nothing else.
Service pack 1 for Vista-64 bit. (ATI-radeon 4850 catalyst version 9.2 with latest drivers)
I don’t dare to start it again in the fear of more HW failures this game causes. I will have to refound my money on this one!!! I also bought other games like Burnout paradise and GTR-Evolution they work just fine. I mentioned this as a reference => other games work fine but GTA IV is absolutely devestatingly bad crashes and destroys a DVD/CD rom for me…. I had to change my DVD/CD rom so my HW is upp and running again, but not GTA IV…
Any last words for GTA IV players out there that I could do before refounding the game???
Rockstar games should be a shamed….

hey guys and girls… ive bought GTAIV pc version and it installed fine, and played fine… but now when i start the game up and get started playing it, after about 5 maybe 10 minutes the game’s framerate slows right down, it doestn crash i can keep playing it but it’s really jerky and really slow… ANY IDEA’S ON HOW TO FIX PROBLEM.. thanks
wow and over 500 comments and non of them are a good one.. lol rockstar has a big problem on there hands..
If you have that %P problem, run the setup in compatibility mode for xp, i’m runnin win 7 beta (BIG MISTAKE)… but now i got more probz… FINALLY GOT THE GAME UP AND RUNNIN, runnin the GTA icon in compat mode for win 2000 and Rock str in normal… But now my prob is first time i ran the game, all i could see was the car, 1 or 2 pedestrians and the night sky (a few ligt glows aswell) Specs are
Geforc 8600 512mb
amd 5000+x2
3 gig ram
win 7!!!!!
any suggestions?
Well, i guess i left out that i ran benchmark and then went back to the game, seemed to work, thought it was a glich, then save the game and when it reloaded ALL i could see was Night sky and light glows… benchmark didn’t seem to work again but i reloaded again and it did… its just bloody annoying…
I had the same problem as you PLZ any ideas!!! , only night sky etc. and it was fixed by updating my nVidia drivers.
However I think that GTA IV doesn’t work on Win7 yet. It doesn’t even have full support for nVidia or ATI drivers. It’s yet a beta.
the exeption(0*c0000417) occured in the application at location 0*6fcd2fc5 when irun gta 4 the error appears and then the game goes shaking again
my gta4 works only on social club.But not on the normal game that u dont have too play online. When i wanna play the normal game(offline) it says fatal error ws10,.i have vista.I’ve trided every thing but doesnt work,pls help
I don,t understand a Fu*k of this shit.
when i click play he is loading……
but nothing happens.
i-ve played this game on AMD Athlon On 2 GHZ (single core)
and 2.5 GB DDR2
it works pervectly
Gday everyone just have been reading some of the post that is on here.I have GAT IV For the pc i am having game freezing problems.I is random and doesnt happen on a certain mission its random.I was doing the michelle first date after reinstalling and when i had taken her out and took her back home when i got to the yellow arrow to finish the date it freezed on me and the gave me a message GTA IV has stopped working.My computer specs are more than enough as i have the latest out
I7 920 2.67GHZ
6 GIG RAM
P6T MOTHERBOARD WITH DDR3
GTX 295 1795MB X 1
1 TB HARD DRIVE
Windows Vista 64 Bit
As you can see in no way are my computer specs not good enough to play this game.I have installed the patches for gta and have the latest graphics card drivers installed.Does anyone have a solution for this it usually does it after about 20-30 minutes of gameplay.and on random times in the game.Should i turn the graphics settings down ? or should i adjust my 3d settings for the gtx 295 dont know what to do.
Hi, in answer to the previous question from Matt, I had the same problems, turned out that GTA IV didn’t like me having more that 2GB of RAM, check this with some microsoft websites and other tech forums, and they all said that Windows basically had trouble using the 3rd Gb of RAM that I had and thus caused crashes and freezes every 20-30mins or so. So all I can suggest is to take some RAM out, down to 2GB if poss, see if that works, then try to add the extra RAM back in to see where the threshold is.
Hope this helps !

HEY ALL!!!!!! I FINALLY GOT A FIX FOR THE GTA FREEZING IN PC. I AM A WORKER IN MICROSOFT COMPANY, AND I HEARD ALL ABOUT THIS FREEZING IN GTA 4 PC. WELL, THE MAIN PROBLEM WITH THE PEOPLE IS THE STUTTERING. WELL U SHOULD UNDERCLOCK YOUR GPU, I USED RIVATUNER 2.24, WENT INTO THE DRIVER SETTINGS AND THEN WENT INTO THE OVERCLOCKING OPTION AND REDUCED CORE CLOCK, SHADER CLOCK AND MEMORY CLOCK BY 10% TO 15% DEPENDING ON YOUR GPU. AND ITS DONE, NO STUTTERING AND FREEZING IN GTA 4 PC. HOPE IT HELPS U.
FOR EXAMPLE, IF YOUR CORE CLOCK IS DEFAULT AT 900, THEN 10% OF 900 IS 90. SO REDUCE IT TO 810. DO THE SAME FOR ALL THREE. HOPE IT HELPS YOU.
NOTE : DONT FORGET TO DELETE THE COMMANDLINE FILE AND REMOVE ANY OTHER TWEAK YOU HAVE DONE BEFORE. PLAY WITH ORIGINAL FILES.
Gday gusy just wanted to let you know that i did some test last night and it seems to be running fine without doing the above mentioned things.I found that when i put the settings 1280 x 1024 and the refresh rates at 75mhz instead of 65 and also put the graphics at medium i had no problems or freezes.At the point where i was having problems like when i go to kill vlad it worked fine with no freezes after performing these changes.The one thing i will try tonight is putting all of my graphics setting back up high with the refresh rate staying at 75 if this works i know it was the refresh rate that needed to be increased.And if it doesnt i know that the graphics need to be droped back down in certain areas as i will try and achieve the highest graphics settings without getting freezes.Yes i know that my computer should be able to handle this easy but its not the computer it self Ram Graphics cards ETC its the game software itself.You just have to find a happy place for it to run until more of the patches and fixes are availiable.I will do another post once i have done more test.By the way i played for 1 hour straight and no problems on those settings medium on all graphics settings/ 1280 x 1024/75 refresh rate/
Cheers
Matt

A fix for problem 4 freezing, that worked for me. Set your detail distance and view distance to the same number, or don’t set your detail distance higher than your view distance.
I hope this helps.
Whenever I try and install the game, it gets to a certain point at the beginning and freezes my computer. What seems to be the problem?
GUY,
1. Do you have enough hard drive space.
2. You may need to defrag your hard drive.
3. You may have a bad, dirty, or scratched DVD.
4. Corrupted Operating system.
5. Bad or dirty DVD drive.
I have just installed a new hard drive and i have lots of space in the disk , I download the game from a site so I didn’t use my DVD drive and it still freezes my computer in the installation. so what seems to be the problem, DO you have anther ideas?
how about the freezing problem??? on some part of the game FPs drops down dramatically causing it to freeze here’s one example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-dyRv4N06w
hi people my gta keeps on stuttering after about 10-20 mins of playing the game i have all the patches does anyone know what the problem is thank you

And it is goning over and over by clicking on the ok buttton.
I am a fan and i hope that you gays kan help me whit this problem.
Thanks
@dane
try opening the contents of the cd.. and click what it requires
After so much reading about these errors, none of the solutions (are there any) did it for me. And even so, my trust in this game running smoothly and reliable on Windows in the future is completly gone.
I decided to remove my pc version and make room for Far Cry 2 (which is an example of a stable, good looking and fast loading kick ass game).
Good luck all!
Hell guys, the game is good, but gives troubles like no body’s business… I fiddled and messed around downloaded all the patches i could find and now it works… Not as well as it should, but it works… If your a fan, keep trying. If anybody does have problems wit Win 7, try contact me at joerenagade@yahoo.com and i’ll try help the best i can… No spaming please…
when i lunch gta 4 it say to me “securom find a problem”

Please help me in this matter.
Thanks and regards
When i try to load the game it says [b]SecuLauncher: failed to start application. [2000][/b] I need some help. Thanks
Every time I try to run GTA IV it just says it encountered a problem. lol.
It used to bring up a DOS box for like 3 seconds and then say it encountered a problem and had to close, now all it does is just bring up the little windows error box and that’s it.
Was Rockstar high when they made this game or something? I’ve never seen so many errors being spoken about for anything.
@524. AKA Sahib.
Please state your graphics card..Maybe thats the problem or you need a better core.
@Quoc
You wanna go into DvDDRIVE:\GTAIV\Redistributable\*exe
INSTALL ALL THE STUFF IN THERE..
That should solve your problem i hope

If you need help on gta 4 pc.
i has try install patch 1.0.3 , but fatal error ,,, why?
how to install patch 1.0.3 correctly ?
My card is a Nvidia 7300 GT, and before anyone says anything I know that’s under the requirements.
BUT:
I can run Fallout 3 AND Mirror’s Edge just fine and they have similar if not identical system requirements to this game.
I know it may just be my hardware, but it should at least get to the main menu before crashing I would think.
also, for the install everything in the redistributable folder, whenever I try to run the program “wmpappcompat,” nothing happens, at least nothing I can see.
Is it just one of those simple programs that finishes in like a second so you don’t notice it?
@HeadShotz
It depends what the fatal error is..
If its the FATAL ERROR:Invalid resource detected Then reinstall and install
the 1.0.3 patch again.
@Funk_D
For the last part. It suppose to be( i think) part of one of the exe’s in the folder.
Also, i dont understand wut your saying at the first part..
when i start gta4 it giver fatal error rmn20.i m using vista ultimate 64bit.kindly tell what to do.please
@furqan
If u look at the top ull see a bunch of error fixes..
For Rmn20- you will need service pack 1 or higher to proceed
“The application has encountered a fatal error and must close” i cant even start the game!! cant u help me.?
Q Bby Well.. It depends where its comming from
If its from RGSC? or the game it self?
when installing it tells me: Your system is incompatible with %P
dunno what that is, help would be great
PC:
core 2 quad 2.40ghz
2gb xms2 800mhz
9800gtx+ OC
@ Oscar.
(IF VISTA)Try installing Windows vista service pack 1. People said it worked and some people say it didnt…
To Stop this error and cont. with installation without error.
1)Right click on the setup.exe on your GTA disc.
2)Goto Properties
3)Goto the Compatibility Tab
4)Tick Run this program in compatibility mode for Windows XP, accept changes then install.
5)Sit back and wait for it to install (its normal to take ages)
Shouldn’t it run if you download it off the CD? I am running Vista, and it i did put it to run under XP Service Pack 2, but it stills gives me errors and i am pretty sure i have downloaded everything.
Quoc, What kind of errors?
am getting the error WS10ATAL ERROR after installing 1.0.3 patch..i tried reinstalling xlive n restart but it didnt work..am running the game using razor’s exe.
Achillies, hmm Pirated? Either you have to reinstall and install again or Get the gta 4 1.0.3 crack from piratebay.. OR
Buy the game
yea fixxxer..IT IS FREAKEN PIRATED…am poor..nyway..seems i only had to replace the Launchgta.exe and NOT the GTAIV.exe after installing the batch..BTW , i also used xliveless 95b to bypass social club n live account check…LONG LIVE HACKERS..
lol i dont know much bout the PIRATED verson of the game.(I LOVE HACKING)
k guys listen, i got the game from my friend, i’m trying to install, and get something like this:
Feature: Grand Theft Auto IV
Component: GTAIV_Dynamic
File: E:\GTAIV\data3.cab
Error: Data error (cyclic redundancy check)
so i get some-thing like this, please help me
tnx =)
This game is the biggest piece of garbage that I’ve ever seen. I’ve already wasted over 3 hours trying to install it, and it still doesn’t work.
All the Social Club + Windows Live is bullshit. Now I have the same problem with some above, in which when I double-click on the game icon, the game appears as though it is going to start, but it doesn’t.
I don’t want to play on-line, I don’t want on-line friends. I want a goddamn game that works. Back to the store with it.
hey guys i have a problem with my gta iv is lagging continiously my specs are:9800 gt asus nvidia gforce

@GTA_LOVER
That means its reading a “damaged” disk or dvd.
So i Recommend replacing it where u got it from
Sry
Hey spyro’s.
I Dont really know why its slow.. but… here are SOME options.
1.Try using –noprecache and –nomemrestrict. Im not sure it works but its worth a try.
2.Update your drivers for Graphics card. Nvidia has some drivers that boost the fps a little bit..
All i know
I bought A copy Of GTA IV it installed just fine. even though it was a horror to install, i started playing and all of a sudden the screen started spinning. like the character was drunk. i thought it was normal but when i read the walkthrough’s. it didn’t say anything about it. also the cars accelerate by themselves. BIG dissapointment cause you get too dizzy to even play the game!
hey fixxer
I bought again an original cd of gta iv but i ont know the same again u know maybe my dvd rom maybe is damaged my dvd rom called superwrittemaster sorry for my english i hope u understand plz do somethink 2 help thank u very much for ur answers
i also have a problem. when i mount dvd 1, everything installs smoothly, but when i have too mount second dvd, when i put in browse text, computer freezees. i’ve tryed 2 different gta versions, and also tryed with daemon tools, power iso and alcohol 120%. it just don’t work!
Hey spyro’s,
English=ok.
If ur saying it cant work on your dvd-drive:Get a new one that is compatible.
Or
if ur saying its still laggy: Can you please tell me the benchmarks when u benchmark it. Thanks

Aardvaark Ratnick
update drivers.. i had nvidia 163 n it was giving me the same problem u r having..cant start the game.
did you try to use 1024 x 768 resolution…?
hi, can someone help me?
i installed GTA IV and each time i start the game up i get this wobbly cam, self accelerating cars and issues with aiming…
i run:
windows vista home premium x32
intel quad core 2.8gh
2 GB RAM
NVIDIA GEFORCE 8600 GS
1 TB of hard disk memory
it should be more than enough right??
so can anyone help me ??!!
please i am dying to play this game!!!
hussam ..keefak?
you need to get razor’s crack for GTA IV because other cracks mess the game up and make the wobbly cam effect..
and yes..ur system would run the game..
1 TB?? OMGGG
Nice Hussam @ 1 TB(and i agree wut achilles said 1TB??OMGGGG)
O Btw it doesnt need to be razors crack because there are other Cracks that will work. And also maybe a new graphics card and you got a Nice System.

Hey all, I’m having a slight problem with my GTAIV. It’s related (I think) to my Acer computer. When I try and play every 30-40 seconds a setting in my tray (where the clock is) gets changed and minimises the window. The setting is the Acer bio protection (fingerprint scanner) and I don’t know why it changes. It makes it pretty impossible to play and I can’t seem to fix the conflict. Any suggestions?
I have fatal error 9……….
it says i need to restart the game
this happens all the time when i play multiplayer in GTA IV.
please help me, i dont know why this happens
thanks!
~cheers~

But other times the whole computer crashes and restarts when the computer turns back on it says the system hes recoverd from a serious error. The game is running on mid to low graphics and all my perks are over the maximum anyone got a fix? please this is stuffing up my system.

PS: I Bought the orignal DVD
I swear this will be the last game I’ll buy without doing previous search.
I’ve been trying to install this crap for the last 5 hours.
First I got to update my Windows Vista with the service pack 1 because I was stuck with the install menu error.
Then I finally started installing it.
Then I had a huge headache just to get the social crap working. I wont even play GTA on the Internet still I had to make a gamecard for windows live then that account linking deal messed with my head.
When I clicked play I got the problem of many as it seemed it was about to start but anything happened after that.
Then I did the reboot and tried playing it again. The matroska menu showed up as it finally seemed like it would start but no.
WS10 error or whatever you call it.
Then I remove all my live crap run the patch they had there to be downloaded try play the game and….
The game has stopped working.
How awesome..
Now I uninstalled the game and will try installing it again.
If I get the same errors I’m just gonna pick have to pay 25 bucks on a technician to install this for me, but If I can’t do it I’ll have a laugh at him trying to do it for me tomorrow and then I’ll put all this anger i’m feeling right now on him.
I can’t deliever the game back as I opened it otherwise I would do it.
Yesterday I was so looking forward to play this game.
Today I buy it then came back home thinking it would be really awesome, and till this.
I just hope this works.
I really do..
i downloaded disk 2 and all the other windows and social club crap and like… after that i try and play it but it just has a small black screen with the little white thing like this _ blinking what do i do?
I’ve got a problem
I can’t go through the starting new game it just keeps on Loading
Please Help Really before blow my PC to Hell
Fuck me
i have problems with resolution i mean i try to start the game but it won’t even enter it because it apears a thing by saying resolution not optimeted and it says to try 1440×900 thats the maximum of my lcd but i try it and it won’t work either it still apears this what should i do if someone got a solution give me a mail at white_2pac15@yahoo.com
I have a problem that when the game opens after the loading of last saved game than when i reached to the mission and i sit in the car the game starts jerking and the car is out of control the car is moving itself this happens when ever i sit in the car please send me the repily quickly so that i can solve my problem
I went ahead and installed the game and did a manual activation (what a nightmare). This game took forever to install.
I got a couple of file errors during the install. It stated that they didn’t match the cab file.
Now everything is installed and I started the game up.
All it does is say “Loading” !!!!
This is the SHITTIEST piece of software I’ve ever had the displeasure of installing on my pc.
If I can’t find a fix I will be contacting Rockstar and demanding a refund. This is complete BS.
Hello boys, I have a problem in gta iv
a gta iv fatfl error: resc10
Please Help
I installed the program and when i click on play the screen becomes black as if to start it goes for little while and then suddenly the error comes “GTA4 FATAL ERROR:RESC10″.
this is the worst softare i have ever installed.
the setup is installing in another language and after installtaion it does not work it says some .dll file is missing i dont remember the file name and while uninstalling it says to find the path rgsc.exe to uninstall.
Windows Vista problem. I’m playing the game normally when all of a sudden it freezes for about 3 seconds and this message shows up :the program stopped working. then it says windows is trying to find a solution. after about 5 seconds the game turns off. i don’t know or have any idea of why this game isn’t working. it is really pissing me off because i just got the game. I could go and swap(see if it works than) or i could get my money back and keep in my mind that GTA IV is a crap game.
Plz help, i am desparate (my game warranty wears off in 4 days).
i agree with comment 621.
this is BS.
i will call rockstar and demand a refund

Muhammad Rafi Qureshi,
It says to reinstall the game. So do that. If it still does that, then you installed it wrong(i think)
juicer, Dont know much bout pirated versons. but maybe some suggestions.
Try switching the crack.exe and see if that works. Get the real game(unless you cant then dont do this -.-) Try reinstalling and updating and patching again.
sry i dont know much about your problem..
i can’t do anything
error:your device is not ready
I just got GTA IV for my PC. I have all the requirements. I found no problems in installing the game and when it was done i started it. the loadin and the starting movie worked just fine and then the shit came up. When the gameplay started , there were no roads, no building. and by no roads i mean none under the car i was in too. and there was water everywhere. the car falls into the water, the mission fails and there u have it F**kin GTA IV! I cud see sum buildings at a distance. The fps was great! Great speed. No crashes and all. JUST NO BUILDINGS OR ROADS!! PLZ PLZ Help me out here!
I put the disk in, try to install it…. but nothing happens. A window just pops up, and as soon as I go to click on it it stops responding… I know my computer can easily handle this game due to all the parts being brand new, but does anyone have any idea why it won’t work?? The Rockstar Games Social Club thing installed fine, but not the game. This is bothering me very much because I want to play the game. Any ideas about why this might be happining would be very much appriciated… Thank you
By the way the disk that I have is in perfect condition. No scratches or anything. Thats why I’m so baffled. Once again any help on this subject would be greatly appriciated.
i have core2dio 2.4 and nvidia 8400gs 512mb with xp sp3 and all drivers installed and 1 gb ram but the game crashes to dekstop after starting a anew game
Nathan, Uhh 1.try manual installing(Open Gta 4 disk and run the Setup.)
2. Might be the Dvd-Rom not reading the data correctly(maybe not :S)
3. Return it and get a new disk. Perfect condition doesn’t mean its bad.
Hope this helps kinda..
Nathan,
1.Try uhh running the setup manually(open gta 4 disk and run setup)
2.(Cause)= DVD-ROM isnt reading the data correctly(maybe not :S)
OR
3. RMA it(return it). Perfect condition usually doesn’t mean its bad.
Hope this helps…a little
allo friend i got problem during installation..i got msg said please insert disk 0 that contain data4.cab..i have all the link downloaded which is 15 link
hello, I’ve got an install problem too. Everything goes fine on disc1 . Then it asks for 2nd disc , when I insert second disc nothing happens, installation stops working. The discs are working fine I installed the game many times before. But couldn’t get it working this time. what could be the problem?
btw my problem is very similar to Nathans, although as I’ve said before I installed the game before and the discs are working fine. I’ve tried to install it manually but it didn’t work. And It’s not possible to return the disc as the shop I bought went bust
i think that im the only motherfucker with this installation problem..im going to destroy everything if i cant play shit.. when i try to install, the installshield stop and give me this error… 5006: 0×80070002 and this is it..
if someone knows what da fuck is this id like to tell me the solution.. peace
DS : looks like an install disc problem
OK look - i have the same problem which have been posted before :
#26. “My problem is the same as #5 for retail pc version. Starting the Rockstar Games Social Club shortcut (or direct file) doesn’t do anything. Starting GTA IV shortcut (or direct file) prompts a DOS screen for about 30 seconds and leaves after that. All without any error message.”
#49. “I have a problem with gta,when i try to launch it it looks like its going to start(dos window apears) then nothing hapens!I have XP SP3,Nvidia 8600gt 256mb,2gb ram and AMD Athlon 64 X2 dual core 2.11.I verified everything.Should i maybe try downloading new drivers or anything else?”

Hy everybody!
please help if someone can…
After playing GTA IV for a while (always different), the screen freezes. Sometimes i’m lucky and can kill the procress with task-manager…if that happens, windows runs slowly after that. If it DOESN’T work, windows crashes completely and i have to reboot. i guess there is a problem with the driver of my graphics cards: sometimes windows shows me that a nv4_**and-so-on**.dll didn’t run properly. but that problem suddenly appeared!! i have the latest version of the nvidia drivers…..
@ Barry
“The most common time you will see the cyclic redundancy check error message is when trying to read data from a damaged CD or DVD. Just before it appears, your CD/DVD drive will probably grind and whirl away - your PC may also become a little slugglish.”return and get a new copy.
a crc error appeared while installing gta 4. please help me ….
the installation sucks… i get an error while the setup is installing the audio… so i cant even instal the game…
DD3D ERROR SOLVED..FOR VISTA JUST RIGHT CLICK ON DESKTOP CLICK PERSONALISE THEMES CHANGE FROM VISTA TO WINDOWS CLASSIC GAME WILL RUN NOW,GOOD LUCK.

patch 1.0.4.0 june 19 2009 already installed. i have well over the requirement for gta iv pc and still it crashes, stutters, freezes and platforms lost (graphic and images disapear) when will the new patch be out i am really gettin annoyed with this game such a shame.
I’ve played most of the game without problems, but around the time I unlocked the third area I’ve been getting a very annoying problem (may have also been when I applied an update to GTA, or driver update).
After playing for about 20 minutes or so, it seems that the game stops loading game objects/textures; the models and textures are “low-res”. Then the game freezes for about 10 seconds (radio music keeps playing though), and when it unfreezes the objects/textures appear as they should. But if I drive a bit more, the same thing happens again, and each time it happens it takes longer for the game to unfreeze, until it freezes completely and I have to reboot.
I’ve tried re-installing the game, updating graphic drivers, and putting the graphic options to the minimum. This is driving me crazy… Any suggestions? Thanks!

To those encountering .cab files similar to Unreal Tournament 3 , heres a possible solution ,works for me good luck. …. pull off internet cable,disable firewall and anti-virus , then everytime after installing each disc , eject your disc and let it cool down for like 5 minutes , then place the next and continue , i tried installing UT 3 and GTA IV for like more than 20 times already,this fixed it . hope this helps
hi there… i just installed gta 4 and mine is SP3 and my graphic card is HD 4850 and the problem is that when ever i start the game i am able to play the game for 15-20 mins max … and in that time span the game runs very smoothly with no problem at all… but after 15-20 mins the game crashes and the pc freezes… i aint able to get back on the desktop i tried CTRL+ALT+DEL…. that does not work…. tried by pressing the windows key plus D to minimize as well as ALT+TAB… that also did not work… basically i tried all the possible step to get back on the desktop but could not go… so i always end up rebooting my pc…. please help me out… its driving me nuts…. to be honest im kinda bad with these software things and hard to understand so please help me in detail if possible…
