GTA IV Patch 1.0.8.0/EfLC Patch 1.1.3.0

[TWIST_OF_HATE 335]

Either it's not that noticeable, or it's finally fixed:

What are you talking about ?

[Claude_Lib 3,591]

Trees and bushes horizontal shadow line bug. I'll downgrade the game now and check to be sure.

Will this still ask you to "Link account" even after you linked it? I've linked my account and it still says this...or is it just like this all the time? Confused.

Then I have no idea why I'm still presented with the WTV270 error message...I've updated my GFWL, linked it to Social Club, updated the game, even reinstalled the game and its update, tried with and without xliveless and still doesn't load the game. Edited November 30, 2016 by Monkeypolice188

[Sam Lake 12,659]

what windows do you have?

[Monkeypolice188 511]

Windows 10...I just read something that GFWL doesn't work properly on 10. I'm on it, just the game won't load with it, and I was able to get onto it before this update, albeit after a lot of messing around trying to get it to work.

live assistant is installed? (windows 8/8.1 and 10 include it)

 

 

remember to install net framework 3.5 (is required by this game)

The newest version of GFWL works fine on Windows 10, so no need to blame the OS for it.

[El Dorado 3,672]

ws10 on launch, nice

Ok, let us know ))

[Monkeypolice188 511]

Seen assistant SOMEWHERE if I recall correctly. Where would I find that in the files? Just want to check.

 

edit: live assistant is installed, as is framework 3.5

Did you fully uninstall GFWL and all its components then reboot and install it again from this link http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=201134It didn't work for me when I just tried installing it over the old one.

 

goto C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Games for Windows - LIVE\Client and Make GFWLClient.exe and GFWLive.exe run in compatibility mode for windows 7.

 

Also GFWL works perfect for me on Windows 10, worked first time after getting it from the link above.

Removed it from add/remove programs. How did you do it?

[FulVal85 32]

try to run launchgtaIV.exe as admin from gtaIV folder

 

check also your firewall

Try logging to your GFWL account in xbox live app. Just open start, type xbox and open the app.

[Monkeypolice188 511]

Running in compatibility for windows 7 on both of them now, still no difference. Running launcher as admin as well, no difference, same issue.

[FulVal85 32]

don't use compatibility mode (remove also all commands)

 

reinstall latest gfwl from xbox official site (remove it and restart windows before install it)

 

 

visual c++ 2005 (with and without sp1, 32 and 64 bit) is installed?

Edited November 30, 2016 by FulValBot

Bushes shadows are disabled, great solution for bug, gg, R*.

Doesn't help that people are giving me mixed messages here - should I run the Client and Live in Win 7 compatibility mode or not?

 

I've already reinstalled GFWL. Getting from another location doesn't make a difference.

 

I already have the visual, c++ 2005.

[FulVal85 32]

nope don't use compatibility mode

-snip-

easiest and most used way to "fix" stuff by most of companies

It's something.

Well, sh*t. Maybe that's also why the game runs better now, by the way.

[El Dorado 3,672]

anyone can send me the steam launcher? (launchgtaiv.exe)

 

the one from patch 7 doesn't work and I don't want to install a dvd drive...

 

Thanks CP and Tomasak

 

But now it complains about "RGSC needs to running..."

Edited November 30, 2016 by El Dorado

[FulVal85 32]

that's normal... don't use rgsc installer from gtaIV folder because is from 2010... (or install it before latest if is required)

[Monkeypolice188 511]

Woop. Got the game working now. Removed the ASI Log and Dsound and it suddenly started working (did that about 1 million times before).

 

All in all, there really isn't THAT much of a difference. At first I thought I had some more FPS, was maintaining about 62 (it usually IS around 50, but knowing Rockstar, it's usually all over the place anyway), but I got in a car, drove around, yeah, same old massive amount of FPS loss in key areas. I do think it has become a little more stable, here and there, but maybe it's just the heat of the moment telling me something has changed when it really, really hasn't, lol. Let's just hope R* will take these patches further, like I said, this game still has some luck and Rockstar releasing a patch after years on end just about proves that.

 

Now I need to get my trainer working, I never used xliveless before, always stuck to ASI loader.

http://patches.rockstargames.com/prod/socialclub/Social%20Club%20Latest%20Setup.exe

but IV doesn't require social club at all tho. Only MP3, La Noire and GTA5

[_CP_ 9,552]

RGSCLauncher.exe is running at the beginning of the game, make sure you have that file in RGSC folder.

[El Dorado 3,672]

got it running, and some of the z fighting seems to be fixed

 

the buildings on algonquin no longer have it when viewed from broker (but the bridge does)

[TWIST_OF_HATE 335]

Monkeypolice188, I doubt we should expect big performance changes in future, because if 7 patches ( oh, now 8 patches ! ) failed to improve performance, then I simply don't believe in magic with next patches, if they will be.
