sjaak327 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Yep and be sure to set it to XP SP2 compatablilty mode, not Vista RTM, as that doesn't work. This is for build 6801, I haven't tried it on the chinese leaked build.

STKD Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Doesn't work on 6956 no matter what compatibility modes you set. Seculauncher 2000 error fwiw. No amount of updating, installing or hackery got around it as far as I could figure. Oh well, bring on the beta. Hopefully by then GTA IV will be out of beta, too.

pimpinpenguin? Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 If your friend didn't know how to set compatibility mode before installing then he really shouldn't be messing around with a pre-beta OS.

Zharay Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Windows 7 is NOT Next Gen... Never was to begin with. Think of it just as another version of XP/Vista with tweaks.

oc student Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 So I'm guessing all of you who have Windows 7 have an illegal copy of the game? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/386544-gta-4-doesnt-work-on-win-7/#findComment-1058798395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zharay Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Think thats the second time someone has said this. I for one obtained it through my job legitimately. Don't blanket everyone under one roof. Either way, beta 1 is going to be open to the public sometime in Jan or Feb. I still do not recommend even using the OS other than for testing purposes only.

TruSake Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 So I'm guessing all of you who have Windows 7 have an illegal copy of the game? if you have a problem with him getting it illegally then call the FBI on him, I'm sure Rockstar will appreciate it Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/386544-gta-4-doesnt-work-on-win-7/#findComment-1058798973 Share on other sites More sharing options...
