r3h4n786 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 (edited) Orig GTA IV retail, no mods etc. Specs: Intel Celeron CPU 2.66Ghz, 2GB RAM Windows XP service pack 3 I know its not great but i know some lower spec comps are able to run GTA IV After loading screen which went on for about 5 minutes it suddenly crashed, for some reason, i was told that deleting settings.cfg would fix this but after doing that the game crashes at startup , tried a system restore but that didnt work, i thought that would've restored the file but i cant find the original settings.cfg anywhere, all i see are threads about deleting it used as a crash fix I get an error about xlive.dll, pic posted below Any advice will be greatly appreciated, thanks for your time Edited November 23, 2012 by r3h4n786 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Hat Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Download the latest patch from : http://rockstarsupport.zendesk.com/entries...-0-5-2-japanese Then download the latest Games For Windows Live from : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/977845 Make sure you have .Net Framework 3.5.1 installed in your PC if not then download from : http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=17851 Hope this works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 Deleting the Settings file should not cause the game to crash. It only resets all your in-game settings to default values. Try what kev210 has suggested and report back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
