bought it off a friend

Sorry but you didn't buy it. Use your own money and buy the game then we will help you. I don't mean that you are not legit, your friend is. You can buy it from online or from a Shop. Though in some countries, people sell black copies so beware. We can't help you with a friend's disk.

Thanks Dr. John.

 

Well this is what I meant in the first place. That xlive error most likely comes to pirated versions of the game.

No. You don't know if your friend has bought from a black market, from online or from a shop. We can't help you. First, use your own money and buy the game. Second, the problem should be fixed and if not THEN we will help you. Until then, fix it yourself.

If you have an original game, install these

GFWL update

Patch 7

 

and delete the file xlive.dll from the game directory, that is the folder where GTAIV.exe is located.

There is nothing wrong with buying games used-after all, Why do you think places like Waterfront Mission, Salvation Army, Harvest House, and other thrift stores are in business-they sell used stuff that people donate..As long as you buy the legal game from a legal store which sells used merchandise OR in this case, a friend-there is nothing wrong with it-IT IS LEGAL-this coming from a certified Law Enforcement Officer...Just a friendly heads up. smile.gif So, please get the facts straight before you start saying things are illegal-there IS a law against making false accusations after all.. tounge2.gifsmile.gif

 

On-topic, Make sure ALL drivers are up to date for the Video card, DX, Sound card, etc. Make sure you have the latest SP for Windows-ie. SP3 if XP, SP2 if Vista, OR SP1 if 7..

In India, people sell games in black market. They too sell two DVDs but they aren't legitimate. Also, I don't know anything about the law in USA.

 

@Splog: Re-Install the game. If it doesn't works, ask your friend if it works for him and IF not, then I will again place my words.

Can you post a picture of the problem? I saw your first post and I didn't understand it well, does it happens when you enter Roman's cab or when you reach his home? Also, if it's possible to post your friend's PC Specs.

Close all the background programs and try to play the game. See if GTA 4 is taking too much CPU.

Here, I place my words:

 

Again, buy the game. See if it fixes. If you tried everything, why don't you try to install whole Windows 7? There is something which is bugging your game. confused.gif
