Did you download the older version? Newest version is meant for 1.2.0.43 of IV (latest) the older one is meant for 1.0.8.0 and below.

The version you'll want is here

That was my problem and you solved it, appericated that👍

Hey, I have an issue, could anybody please help me? I downgraded to 1.0.4.0 and the game just doesnt launch from either .exes 
However in the task manager, gtaiv.exe is running but the size is just 3 to 4 MB. 
I have no other mods/scripts installed. And the game works on 1.0.7.0

Remove FusionFix and ColAccel.

Ok haven't read properly. But you should install xlive and ZolikaPatch. (The files are in the downgrader directory)

Thank you, removing FusionFix allowed me to launch the game. I have xlive and ZolikaPatch.
New problem, when i Start a new game, it says "loading - The Cousins Bellic" and then the screen turns black and I have to go to task manager to end GTAIV. What should I do now? And your help is much appreciated.

What does it mean to install my game via Rockstar Games Launcher on the last page. If I don't download it through Steam that then Steam won't know it's installed, won't track hours and achievements. Am I free to continue if I downloaded the game through Steam? Do I maybe need to uninstall RGL and RSC after I've done the downgrade?

Can't install .NET Framework 4.7.2 on Windows 8 because it says that it's not supported. Is there anything I could do about this, or am I basically f***ed as long as I am using 8? I'm not planning on upgrading to another version of Windows just because of this

Just a quick question: Will I still be able to play Multiplayer even if I use the offline downgrader?

@shvch Try moving your game in some other directory like C:\Games or something (not Program Files or Program Files x86)

How would I be able to move the game directory to a different location if Steam doesn't have that feature? Beside I tried everything your down grader doesn't work and it wont even launch the game

I tried to to downgrade to 1.0.7.0. The game launched but its not on fullscreen and its always at the left corner of the screen and when ever I tried to play the games just loads infinitely. I did everything on installing but I don't understand how other manage to make this work. I cant really downgrade this GTA4 even with good pc specs.

Does anyone know how to copy a working GFWL install (Steam version 1.0.7.0) to another PC? I would like to finish earning achievements on my new PC, thanks.

I downgraded to 1.0.7.0 on RGL, but it doesn't connect to RSC when launching. And on the RGL app, it says I have to update the game so I can play it, but that updates the game, hence defeating the purpose of downgrading.

I don't think it's ever been downgraded I think it's gotten better over the years I see what you're saying they need to fix the servers It's not the graphic issue it's the servers

I’ve downgraded it to 1.0.7.0 and haven’t moved the game out of program files and it resulted pretty well actually, no errors or glitches or any other weird stuff going on.
