WELSH_BOI_99 Posted September 29, 2020 Share Posted September 29, 2020 Hi all, Recently I want to replay GTA 4 on my PC however this particular issue is stopping me. Everytime I load a saved game this message pops up "The save game data file appears to be damaged and cannot be loaded" This happens to every save. The file looks fine but I just cannot load it. This has completely stumped by ability to play this game Any help would be kindly appreciated.

In the future you are encouraged to post help requests in dedicated Help & Support section. What GTAIV.exe version do you have and where are your savegames located? XLivelessAddon can help to load xlive savegames from any location in GTAIV.exe pre-2020 Complete Edition.

Thanks for the response. Yes I am running a recent version of the game. With a few minor mods installed (that only affect textures and models) and I believe my save games are located in Documents/Rockstar Games/GTA IV/Profiles/XXXXXXXX/ The saves end up here and everytime I try to load said save it doesn't like to work And no I don't have Xliveless. Also my apologies for any inconvenience for not posting on the "Help & Support" section. ant_sh 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/962398-problem-with-loading-a-saved-game-pc/#findComment-1071350738 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just hover your mouse over GTAIV.exe application in File Explorer.

WELSH_BOI_99 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Yep I have 1.2.0.43 and I do think it may be the Radio. Looks like I'm readjusting my mods folder. I'll update you if theres any positive changes. Thanks again ^^.

Just hover your mouse over GTAIV.exe application in File Explorer. Update turns out it was the music files. Everything seems to work fine now after some thorough testing I greatly appreciate the help. Without your contribution I would've never realized that it was the music files. ant_sh 1 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/962398-problem-with-loading-a-saved-game-pc/#findComment-1071351401 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this thread is 3 years old, but if you ever see this, could you elaborate on what you mean?
