Critical Runtime Error

[Bon3zz1001]

Here's the error I keep getting while trying to play Episodes from Liberty City. The game crashes and gives me this error EVERYTIME when I chose one of the story modes, click start and when the splash screen pops up it crashes and gives me this error. Is there even a known way to fix this or did I waste my money?

How am I suppose to fix this? I've been searching on google for 2 days now and every so called "fix" doesn't work.

I've tried reinstalling everything, installing / reinstalling the frameworks, installing / reinstalling the redistributables, disabling my AV and firewall, and I also tried the RAM trick that's pinned at the top of the forums. Why is this happening? I just want to play the game.

Make sure you have only the latest GFWL installed. Clean the GPU drivers, that can only do you good and maybe try a different driver version.

I have the latest GFWL client installed and there's only 2 drivers for the GTX 460. The ones that come with the disk and the ones on the nvidia website. Neither one of them work and the one on the website is unstable. I CAN NOT revert to old drivers as they do not support the GTX 460.

Try using xliveless and see if that changes anything. This also may be a securom issue, but in that case you're probably f*cked.

But with xliveless I obviously cannot connect to Xbox Live correct? That kind of defeats the purpose as I wanted to earn achievements.

the efc20 error on gta eflc is extremly annoying me now. ironically there is no one master enough 2 solve it_ even the so called big crackers. where is this guy blade?????

a strange problem of its kind. when i first installed the game it worked for 2 days quite before this deadly error appeared. even on re installing the error disapperred. but the 2nd time it did appear, it stuck like a cancer and nothing has solved it so far....may b never

 

ERROR DETAIL: efc20 error. in valid resource detected. please reinstsall the game.

and windows detect it as a critical runtime error
