New version of XLivelessAddon uploaded to bitbucket.

Now compatible with all 13 versions of GTAIV:

Personally I tested all of them, but there's also some regional versions that might work as well (or not).

Every version can be run via GTAIV.exe or EFLC.exe directly, except EFLC.exe v1.1.0.0 and v1.1.1.0. No idea what's so special about those.

SkipIntro should work now on GTAIV executables.

Added a workaround for vram detection on older patches.

Option RemoveRegistryPathDependencyEFLC was renamed to RemoveRegistryPathDependency and now works for all executables in a universal way.

The settings options don't seem to work, I set the line to: CustomSettingsPath = "C:\Users\Zeee\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV" but they don't save there in the usual folders, I tested the benchmark and the benchmark results are saved into the void. I can see that a couple of folders are still created here: C:\Users\Zeee\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV for some reason(Settings and User Music), even though I specified the save and settings folder in the documents folder.... Perhaps these are temporary locations but when you exit the game it deletes them all and tries to move them to the documents folder path but fails so everything gets wiped clean? As for the savegame path, this: CustomSavePath = "C:\Users\Zeee\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames" work except if I have episodes from liberty city installed wit their respective save files all in the same folder, and if you load the base game, it will *auto* load the newest file and mine happens to be from the "Ballad of Gay Tony" expansion but since it doesn't work, it just boots up a new game....which is anooying...because then you have to load again after it loads the new game.... Otherwise is there a way to turn off autoload and select save file from main menu instead of booting into the newest saved file?

 

If it matters, I am on 1.08 for base game and 1.1.3 for the episodes from liberty city expansion set.

 

And yes I just created an account just now to post this...

My system is now good somehow, xliveless addon is also working.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

I want to remove xliveless, but I can't remove xlivelessaddon.asi, once I remove it the game doesn't start. Game starts without xlive.dll tho. Any solutions?

Does this still happen if you launch the game through GTAIV.exe with XLiveLessAddon?

Hey, I'm on patch 1.0.7.0 to use mods, but the game only detects 2047MB (shows in settings) out of the 11GB my 2080Ti has. Is this normal?

Put this -percentvidmem 100
-availablevidmem 11000
-norestrictions

under each one in commandline.txt.

Hope this works.

I tried installing but my game won't even load, im on patch 8

[Ellie-H]

I have the same problem with patch 8

[Ellie-H]

@ThirteenAG I keep getting an error message everytime I try to start a new game "Connection to the games for windows live lost - starting a new game" or something like that and it keeps attempting to create a new game with the same error message appearing in a Loop

 

Edit : It appears that SkipWebConnect = 1 doesn't do anything for me, that option doesn't work

I created folder named Settings in the root directory.
I had saves folder in the root too, but it was there since i downgraded to 1.0.4.0 with It'sConkAndre downgrader version 1.6

Now settings save for me and i dont have to set them manually every time i open the game.
(i know its late asnwear, i just leave it here for people who stumble into similar issues)

I watched this:

Wanted to play again, downloaded, and downloaded the downgrader tool

But after I set it to 1.0.7.0 and launch, at new game load it asks me to log into Games Live, which if I try set my email it just infinite loads
And I cant play without it since I need to be able to save...

How do I fix this??

You can make a dummy account if you click on the new account tab on the top LIVE bar i recall, once your there a option highlighted below the page in blue text that allows you to make a offline account.

When that's done you can start it up.

 

You can just press esc twice to get rid of the login screen if it shows up again when you restart the game.

 

This solution worked for me and saves worked for me as well, although there might be better ways of doing this. you might wanna ask in GTA IV Modding Support if you need more help in modding the game.

 

Edit 1: You probably clicked on the GWFL in the downgrader, have that unchecked when you downgrade it.

 

Check xlive as well.

Bitbucket disabled my account. Don't know why, but I'll try to find the time to upload everything on github.

Apparently it happened again. Please make official build and source code for  XLivelessAddon available somewhere.

Indeed so, they said XlivelessAddon is flagged as malware, so I have to remove it or the whole thing will be disabled again.

I imported repo to github: https://github.com/GTAmodding/XLivelessAddon/releases/tag/latest
