Zav_ Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 Hi guys. I'm posting this from an internet cafe and i'm timed, so i cant look all over the forums to see if this has been posted or not before.I've been running gtaiv fine for the last year or so with the first patch, now I've installed patch 7 and it refuses to work at all.I either get the ws10 error, or it doesnt start up at all.I looked online and tried suggestions of uninstalling rgsc and reinstalling it, also reinstalling gtaiv but none of these worked. I tried uninstalling rgsc and reinstalling both patches, but now i get an rgsc message to log in or play offline when I try to run launchgtaiv.exe.I click play offline and it opens that same dos-prompt window but it dies after that. When i try run gtaiv.exe i get the message "the ordinal 5367 could not be located in the dynamic link library xlive.dll" I'm posting here because I'm at the end of my tether, I can almost not blame people for pirating when gaming companies have such a lousy attitude towards their customers. my system specs are: MSI mb with intel i5 processor 4gb ram geforce gtx460 win 7 professional It worked before, its just since I installed patch 7 that it doesnt. Any help would really be appreciated, i need to get back to beating up hobos.

Iffy50 Posted December 15, 2010 Share Posted December 15, 2010 I had the same problem.... this is from a previous post. I tried updating stuff, but this is a simple (if ugly) solution: I installed patch 7 last night and my GTA 4 promptly stopped working. This is a fault with the patch. To get it to work again: Go to your browser and open Disc 1. One of the folders is: RGSC Open this folder and run setup If rockstar games social club is running, the game will run.

DocMenach Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 I was having the same (or very similar) problem. Game was working, I installed the 1.0.7.0 patch and it would no longer run. RGSC window wold open and I would log in successfully, it would then check for the disc, and then nothing at all. No error message, no game. I installed the Games for Windows Live update and the game then worked just fine.

mkey82 Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 Is this with or without xliveless? Read the instruction here Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/465182-issue-only-after-installing-patch-7/#findComment-1060248100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted December 16, 2010 Share Posted December 16, 2010 [edit]i also dont get the gfwl anymore in gta4, does that update negotiate with a server? i dont have internet at home Xliveless disables GFWL completely. If you don't have internet @ home, you don't need it anyways. And you don't have to create the savegames folder yourself. It should be there. It also contains a ControlMap.dat file. If it's not there, then load the game once, start a new game and exit. The folder should now have been created. Then, just copy your savefiles to the savegames folder and you're set.

mkey82 Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 IIRC there was some bug that prevented swinging, but that was on some older game version.

Hawcz0r Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I am having a similar problem. I installed gta4 today after a year or so. First when i wanted to sign ingame to live it would update. And then the same thing again everytime. So i downloaded the patch 7 and installed it manually. I also installed the live update(but the sign-in assistant wont install or show error details). Now when i start gta i get a crash report: Podpis težave: name: APPLICATION CRASH System RAM: -1 Available RAM: -1 Number of CPUs: 2 Video Card Manufacturer: ATI Technologies Inc. Video Card Description: ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series Video Card Driver Version: 8.17.0010.1041 Različica operacijskega sistema: 6.1.7600.2.0.0.256.1 Področne nastavitve: 1060 win 7 64b, 6GB ram, cpu E8400, ati HD4850. (I now see why some people get a pirated version instead of original - it works) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/465182-issue-only-after-installing-patch-7/#findComment-1060252872 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mkey82 Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Troubles with pirated versions are even more common, due to various game versions and faulty disk images that are available for download. If GFWL installation has failed, you will have to fix that first. Try removing GFWL completely, reboot the system and maybe use ccleaner to remove any traces. Then install this GFWL update. If it still refuses to work, remove GFWL and try using xliveless.

Hawcz0r Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Its the same after removing gfwl. And i would like to also play online so cant use xliveless. I guess i will have to wait and hope for a new update.
