Where do you have the game from? Are you playing with the original DVD in your Drive?

Here are some solutions you could try (try each one in the order I posted them):

  • 1) Try to
delete your game settings.

2) Install the Games for Windows Live Update & the .NET Framework 3.5.

3) Try disabling VSync. To do that, make a new Text Document in the GTA IV directory (the folder with the .exe file), rename it "commandline.txt" (without the quotes), and copy paste in there the following:

 

-novblank

 

Save it and start the game.

4) Try to completely un-install and re-install the game.

Have you tried each option and none did anything?

Do you happen to use a crack to run the game? Even if you bought the game, some people happen to prefer cracked launchers.

Or do you have the Steam version?

Uhh, okay. Try then to install xliveless - place the xlive.dll file in your main GTA IV directory. Before that, try running the game as administrator and in various compatibility modes, maybe it'll work.

 

Hmm, I'm not sure, but maybe installing the GTA IV Patch 1.0.4.0 could help?

Hello Guys,

 

have the same problems not getting GTA IV to run.

 

1st is that the Launcher says I'm not logged into SocialClub,

also I've logged into it - in Firefox and have entered the

mail and password into the window.

2nd It crashes with the information Critical Runtime Error

 

It's the original complete Edition and i like to play GTA 4

standard - offline would be enough for the first time.

 

My System

Core i5 8GB RAM Nvidia 525M Notebook

Win7 Pro 64bit SP1

Nvidia Driver 310.90

.NET Framework 4 with Patches

Games for Windows Live 3.550

Windows Live ID-Login-Assistent 6.5 x64

GTA IV 1.07 Patch witout any Mods

 

I've tried different things like reinstallation,

launcher link with commandline windowd resolution 1024x800 (768?)

as admin

and things like that

always the same result

 

Does anybody had the same issues and solved it ?

Thanks for your fast reply

 

xlive.dll is unpacked

 

While I'm writing - Framework 3.5 SP1 is downloading (230MB)

 

I'll answer what happens after the changes

 

(it's 4.5 not 4 - just seen in the dir ;-)

When it's loading, press Alt+Tab, then go back to the game - but you may need to wait up to 20 minutes for the game to load sometimes.
