Save game Corrupted on different Live Account

[Snoopy22]

I was using a non-Live account when I first got Grand Theft Auto 4. I wasn't using multiplayer at all, nor did I create any accounts. When I purchased Fallout 3 I made a Offline Xbox account on my PC (in-which Im guessing) was used with my GTA4. So today I thought Id try out Multiplayer, I clicked the link to Join Live and logged in via my email and put in my CD key. I started a new game on my new Live account, to see that my save game was not working on my online Live account. I did some digging and went into...

 

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames

 

There were 2 user files, 1 for my offline account, 1 for my online account - Both Live accounts. I copied my info from the offline folder to my online folder

(Online)

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames\user_e00001cca4f0fbdc

 

Whenever I load up my online Live account with this save game, I get the error to check my hard drive...but when I load the save game on my offline account it works perfect. Is there anyway to get the save game to work with my online account? so I dont have to keep switching back and fourth X_x. Thank you

 

 

 

Edit:

Quick question, if I cant get the save game to work on my Online Live account - isnt it possible to just use my offline account? and sign that up to Live?....why do they have to make this so confusing.

I believe you need this: http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=388658

All you need to do is copy the xlive.dll file in to your GTA IV directory and you can load any savegame.

 

However, that method will disable multiplayer. If you want to play multiplayer again, you'll have to delete the xlive.dll and xlive_wrapper.txt file from the GTA IV directory. As you can see, it's a reversible process, so quite safe.
