[REL|GTAIV] XLiveLess


Recommended Posts

Like coolguy_456 the savegames I copied over aren't working.

Machine specs:

Computer = PHENOMX3

OS = Microsoft Windows XP SP3 Home Edition (5.1,build 2600)

Processor = AMD 8750 triple core 2.4GHz

RAM = 3328 MB

DirectX 9.0c

Nvidia GeForce GS 250, 512MB

Realtek HD audio

Graphics driver = nv4_disp.dll, version 6.14.011.8618, 6/10/2009

My game is a first run from pristine install, no mods or edits whatever. Made it through mission "Call and Collect".

I put xlive.dll into GTA4 main folder, start game from Launcher. No Social Club "logged in as ....." no Windows Live crap (thank you!). Starts new game, I make a first save,leave game, look for savegame folder via My Documents, OK, it's there but no files. I copy all the files from original save location to My Documants one. Won't load.

Turns out a new "user....." save folder has been created in the original save folder. My new first save is in there. I copy all the files from original "user" folder into new "user" folder. Savegames won't load, new game starts, make first save, it relaoads OK but not the other saves.

The game will only load saves from the new game in the new "user.." folder in the original location, not via My Documents.

Looks like I'll just have to start over.

EDIT: Maybe it's my version. I installed this game 7/17 and it went thru like 5 hours of "updating". Should therefor be up to 1.0.4.0. I assumed it was for latest game version, maybe not. Apparently there's no version listed on loading screens at game start so I'm going by EXE properties info although version changes don't always update file properties info.

Anyhow, I'll D/L and install 1.0.4.0 manually and see what happens.

EDIT: ALL ISSUES RESOLVED, SEE MY POST BELOW!

Thanks for this, it works great, but I have a question.

 

Is it possible to make a downloaded savegame work with XLive on ?

I tried to put the savegame in the AppData.. directory and it gives me an error when I try to load it ingame.

Anyway I can mess with the XLiveless in order to do that?

Thanks!

Here's what happened to me (also read my post 3 above this one).

None of my original savegames worked although I copied them everywhere. They were in the in-game list but would fail to load.

Turns out the new savegames are NOT in a "My Documents...../"USER_1000100010001000" NOR the "Local Users/AppData....."USER_1000100010001000" route tho "USER_1000100010001000" is in both places!!

The new first save (including "ControlMap" and "SGTA400") was dumped into the "C:\Documents and Settings\%My Name%\My Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames" folder BESIDE the USER folders, not IN them. I copied my original savegames into the that folder and now they work.

Check to see where your new first save is from, that's where the viable savegames are loading from, weird, but it works!

Then my joystick didn't work until I copied "xinput1_3.dll", "dinput8.dll", and "xinput9_1_0.dll" into my System32 folder (XP) (overwrite).

I also was having problems due to the fact that I mistakenly believed that the 5 hour update that occurred when I installed the game was 1.0.4.0. NOT SO! I D/L'd and installed 1.0.4.0 and now every issue I had is resolved.

Hello yawn.gif

 

I have Problems with my savegame.

I have patch 1.0.3., Windows 7 and i run it under the Compatiblity of Windows XP Service Pack 3.

I

downloaded all this Xlive stuff, and my savegames dissapeared from the game. Where do i need to paste them? Please help me someone.. dont wanna do all that stuff again -.-

 

Greetings smile.gif

 

EDIT: I deleted all Xlive files, and my savegames are back.. now im gonna try it again, and since i just downloaded patch 1.0.4 i will use the 0.97 version of xlive, since it supports 1.0.4 smile.gif

 

EDIT2: Ok, it seems that if i have xlive files in my directory, it removes all my savegames.. + my mods wont work, but thats another story.. damned why has to be this so complicated >.<

Did you read my post, 2nd above yours?

Using xliveless changes the savegame location as explained in the readme. After loading the xlive file a NEW GAME will start. Go to the safehouse with Roman and save. Leave the game and find where that save went. As you can see from my post above it's not always where you might expect it. Copy your original savegames to where the new first save is and you're good to go.

Maybe you need an ASI loader?

I get now the error "Grand Theft Auto 4 has stopped working". sad.gif

 

I don't know where to copy my savegame folder. I've tried where the readme told me to-

%USERPROFILE%\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames\

 

I copied the savegames folder there, but I start the game, and it cannot find the saves.

Start a new game. Where ever the save file for that game is created is where to put the existing saves. Pretty much what this guy said.

Don't copy the savegame folder, copy the savegame itself, the file named something like SGTA400.

add the lan multiplayer please. mad.gif

When you copy xlive.dll in game folder, there is no Games for Windows - LIVE in game, so you can't play multiplayer.

You can wait, while alternative multiplayer FOUR-MP will be created.

cool never heard of FOUR-MP is it something like SA-MP for gta iv? is there a website?

I recently tried to get the new Tuning Mod and downloaded the .NET Scripthook and this XLiveLess for the ASI Loader as its the only one I could find that looked compatible with GTA IV's latest patch.

 

The mod works now but the problem is the game won't let me login to Microsoft Home so I can access my save games when the game loads up. It only lets me start a new game.

 

Any ideas?

Have you ever read the first post? The savegames are moved to My Documents folder.

Please, help me how to install this xlive so it disables RGSC? Ive tryed to read this topic with no answer. And yes ive readed this:

 

Installation:

* unpack the file xlive.dll into the game folder (don't forget to remove the asi loader if there is one)

* to turn on debug logging, unpack the file xlive_d.dll into the game folder and rename it to xlive.dll".

 

When i try to do this i cant rename xlive_d.ll because there is already xlive.dll on same folder. And where i must to put saved games if i want to get em saved? Im using XP

then you remove the other xlive.dll and then rename.

 

The savegames are located in My Documents/Rockstar Games/GTA IV/savegames

Still dont work without RGSC wow.gif I just updated game to 1.0.4.0 maintenance update. I do something wrong?

I have problem with savegames...

 

I copied whole folder which was in AppData to new directory in My Documents, but when I start the game, it always starts the new game. What Im doing wrong?

the problem is you didnt read the readme nor the first post here, you are only the fifth guy on this page who is too lazy to open the readme file or to go to the first page.

 

@Pahamies; The loader doesnt recognize your game version, i dont kno if it was updated foor 1.0.4, you might want to download the latest version, if this version doesnt support patch 4 you might want to downgrade to patch 3(running the patch 3 installer worked for me to downgrade)

Looking to use this, but this question has been asked numerous times in this thread, but everyone seems to not know the answer as I haven't seen anyone pay attention to those posts. So gonna give it a shot and see if anyone has an idea here.

 

Just installed the game, patched it to 1.0.4, got xliveless 0.97b and out it on there. Uninstalled Socialclub, then tried starting the game. Nothing happens, it gives a loading icon o nthe mouse, then just stops. No new processes or anything, only way I could get it to launch before was by using Socialclub, any ideas here?
