bobani Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Im trying to reinstall my GTA4 since i haven't played for about a year or so.. the game installes fine, and then i update it with the latest? patch i could find on rockstars homepage.(patch 7, and i've installed all the prior patches). but when i try to start the game it wont start...i have Windows XP and i get the rockstar socialclub-crap..but when i try choosing "play offline" the socialclub thingie shuts down and nothing happens... and its the same thing if i choose "play" instead of "play offline" any ideas? ooh.,..by the way..in the new patch.. are you able to configure your controller settings? like choosing wich buttons that to what? =) Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/468627-gta4-wont-start/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 I'm guessing that's because you didn't apply the GFWL update. Download it from here - http://www.rockstargames.com/support/IV/PC/GFWLupdate/ Install that and see if the game starts up then. I'm not sure about controller configuration as I have never used one.

bobani Posted January 30, 2011 Author Share Posted January 30, 2011 Isn't that thing included in the Patch 7 or before? =/ man i must say.. this game is a massive failure for PC... never ever had so much problem with a game...i really hope they learn their lesson for the next GTA on PC Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/468627-gta4-wont-start/#findComment-1060317484 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted January 30, 2011 Share Posted January 30, 2011 Isn't that thing included in the Patch 7 or before? =/ Nope, GFWL updates have nothing to do with game updates. If you're not bothered about GFWL or multiplayer, you can use Xliveless to get around it.

crapinabox127 Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 They should give us the next two gta games for free just for the sake of justice. This game is nothing but: "Social club login failed. Please try again." If they would have worked on the game itself and not on how to prevent us from playing it, it could have been an okay experience. But this has been a so bad experience compared to all the other gta releases, that Im not gonna even think about buying another gta release. It has to be given to me or It has to prove itself on the market for at least a year. then maybe i will take a look at it. toobad the whole GTA era is gone.. we will miss you bye..
