GTA IV problems and solutions discussion torrent

Due to the fact that I've been readin' and readin' comments on a lot of torrents and witnessing not only myself but others in situations where they can't get their fucking GTA IV to work, I've decided to bundle all discussions here. I am not going to give solutions that others said, because i will be flamed. PLEASE FOLLOW THIS GUIDE TO POST SOLUTION/PROBLEM!!!!!!!!!! Example for Solution: " Hello i just downloaded gtaIV from torrent bla bla and it worked! OS: Windows Vista 32bit SP1 Video: nVidia voodoo 5 RAM: 32 mb CPU: Intel pentium 3 Installed game from torrent: Installed crack / Used method from: Example for problem: " O hai!

I've installed the game and got it running.
Only still have to fix drunken cam etc..
But I came across another problem. I can't change the resolution. Anyone having the same problem?
Is this also a security issue or somethin'?
Greetings

jimmy55l (2008-12-05)

Freezes at Installshield and the Popup Autorun thing is just in Squares. Any help?

ekan82 (2008-12-05)

dose anyone know how to save when playing the game. ?

breeper77 (2008-12-05)

@ ekan82 game wil auto save and u can save at a safe house

Sathyr (2008-12-05)

Ok folks, I've finally managed to start the game. . Since some ppl already is also playing i assume, getting cracked exe and offline activation steps are clear, I will post only some fixes to other issues:
1. Mentioned error NVM40 or something like this - i downloaded and installed sp3 on xp sp2 and fixed.
2. Drunk camera after game starts - you need to download good crack that also fixes this bug. Try thepiratebay.se. Note that crack is installer and its unpkacing to default (...program files\rockstar games\Gtaiv. If you installed game in different path, simply copy and replace all files after instalation of "patch"
3. After starting from desktop, hd works for moment and after nothing happens - put paul.dll also to main game folder
4. Saving - disconnect from internet, skip registration in social club, after pressing start game you will be monitored that in order to save you need to login. Agree and proceed with offline registration in games for windows live.
5. Always start game through desktop shortcut, not launcher.
6. After i changed resolution and relaunched game - it simply didn't start, just a black screen. I tried to reinstall but it was the same. Solution is: delete file C:\Documents and Settings\Youraccountname\Local settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\Settings\SETTINGS.CFG
It will restore default settings, doesn't mess with save.
For retards: remeber to set in windows to display hidden files and folders.
7. Last bot not the least. After relase of cracked .exe files game didn;t start on my pc anyway. I uninstalled the game completely (use some good uninstaller program not windows shit), installed again and after i put at the same time cracked exe and dll. After manual activation and DING! - Rockstar logo blinking on my screen.
Good luck with fighting for those who still didn't managed.

n2k3 (2008-12-05)

installed with 0x0008 release (crack didn't work either)
FeD0r steps:
1. done
2. done after running the original once (for creation of GTAIV.exe etc)
3. If I run RGSCLauncher.exe or RGSC.exe - nothing happens (the process closes itself within 2seconds) also nothing happens WITH the original launcher

I downloaded the "GTA IV PC Version" here from piratebay, and applied the crack... It worked for me.

My only problem is... THE GAME RUNS SO FUCKING SLOW.... It must be all the background shit they have running it with RGSC.EXE and Games For Windows Live...

z3rongod (2008-12-05)

I have some lines over the screen when playing at 800X600 and if i play at 1024X768 i get fucked up texture/lights or something.
I have geforce 7600GT amd 64 2x @2.61GHZ and win xp sp3 32bit
IS THIS FROM CRACK/PROTECTION/GAME or does it happen to original purchased one too?

n2k3 (2008-12-05)

NVM - FIXED my problem from 2 posts above
I installed Framework 3.5[/url] (I had 1.1 - 2.0 and 3.0) and the launcher started, also I didn't have Microsoft Games for Windows LIVE installed, though it prompted to install with a link where to download, installed it and I could play :)

Drunken88 (2008-12-06)

It's funny how many problems you people have.
My game works great, no wobbling screen, no crashes, no details bug, it just works fine.

3- Create an account on both Rockstar Social Club and Live Windows sh!t. No need to login on those 2 programs.
4- Double click on GTA4 shortcut on Desktop, wait to main windows game popup with a ho licking a lollipop. Then click on PLAY button. You'll be advised that you cant upload videos and blablabla if you dont login to Rockstar Social Club. Click on OK and the game will enter without any problems.

Mickey2Much (2008-12-06)

@z3rongod: Same here. I replaced my 7600GT with a 9800GT. No problems since then. I think the 7600GT is a bit to slow for GTA.
