GTA IV Fatal Error: WS10


whirloop
 Share

Recommended Posts

Just to let you know - yesterday my system produced such a WS10 error message. It happend while I was testing different versions of the "LaunchGTAIV.exe"-file.

As a first remedy I replaced the presumably problematic "LaunchGTAIV.exe"-file with a saved working copy. Then I tried to restart the game: the same WS10 error message reappeard.

That was a clear sign I messed up something somehow unintentionally. Maybe it was Microsoft Live, but I wouldn't know how.

Anyway, at this point I performed a repair-run (using the the 2 CDs) and straight afterwards I re-installed patch 1.0.4.0. This procedure takes up only a few minutes. That did it for me.

Hope this helps people solve the dreaded WS10 error.

 

 

Troubleshooting: GTA IV WS10 Error Fix

 

I spent hours trying to fix this problem. After much research and experimentation I finally got GTA IV running.

 

Here is my suggestions:

- Update to the newest NVIDIA (180.84)/ATI (8.12) driver

- Update to the most recent drivers for your motherboard chipset

- Update to Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1

- Restart your computer

 

If it still doesn't work try the following:

- Reinstall GTA IV

 

That worked for me, if you aren't so lucky I suggest you trade your copy of GTA IV for a firebomb and book a flight to Rockstar.  devil.gif

the only thing htat helps major in all the errors in GTA IV is the .NET Framework 3.5 trust me folks!

 

EDIT:

WS10 error FIX by me:

 

Uninstall MGFWL, then install the new MGFWL THAT include the update for MGFWL. You can download the correct updated MGFWL from here:

http://download.microsoft.com/download/8/0...ivesetupmin.exe

If you still have the problem:

Go to START -> RUN

Type “regsvr32 msxml.dll” (without the quotes)

Click “Run”

A message box will notify you if this process was successful

Go to START -> RUN

Type “regsvr32 msxml3.dll” (without the quotes)

Click “Run”

A message box will notify you if this process was successful

THAN it should work.

new solution

 

Did everything that this guy said and then i reinstalled he latest patch 1.0.4 and i was good to go.

I reinstalled and it solved WS10. I used a method of reinstalling I can't discuss here, but isn't much different than the standard one. May not work for everyone.

Try using the original game, that will fix the issue, most probably.

Hi whirloop, I had the same problem with "ws10". Try this:

 

1. Click on Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs

2. Remove everything with name "Microsoft Games for Windows" (blue icon)

3. Launch "Rockstar Games Social Club"

4. There is "Latest Rockstar Social Club News" on the right

5. Download "Games for Windows LIVE" by clicking on the picture with this inscription

6. Install (that's all)

 

Now should be ok. At least in my case it's ok smile.gif

thank you archibushi...as u said, now it works...

 

 

1. Click on Start->Settings->Control Panel->Add or Remove Programs

2. Remove everything with name "Microsoft Games for Windows" (blue icon)

3. Launch "Rockstar Games Social Club"

5. Download "Games for Windows LIVE" by clicking on the picture with this inscription

Try re-boot the PC. If error doesn't stop try re-install the game. If error doesn't stop install GTA IV 1.0.0.4 Patch + Razor crack.

I've just purchased GTA4 recently via the Steam Client so it's effectively a Digital Download of the game, so there is no problems with installing the game. It is however a Games For Windows Live issue.

 

None of the above I even attempted, however here is the solution that has worked for me.

 

Ok for me, GTA 4 is installed in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\grand theft auto iv\GTAIV" as this is where the GTA4 exe is.

 

In the folder there is a file called "GTAIV.exe.cfg", Open it with Notepad.

 

The line that says "<enableCrossPlatformSystemLink>true</enableCrossPlatformSystemLink>", change true to "false".

 

Game should now launch.

Windows 7 Pro x64

This error indicates that a problem has occurred with Microsoft Live.

 

Uninstall Live, then re-install Live.

Microsoft live? What do you mean? GAmes for Windows live or what?
