On a more serious note: Did you install the patch on their website? [May 28, 2010] Grand Theft Auto IV Patch 7 -- Title Update v. 1.0.7.0 (English) / 1.0.6.1 (Russian) / 1.0.5.2 (Japanese) If that doesn't work go to your steam library, right click on GTA4 and then you click on verify integrity of game cache. As a last resort you could do this... 1.Click the Start button , click All Programs, and then click Accessories. 2.Right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as administrator. In the User Account Control window, verify that Program name is Windows Command Processor, and then click Yes. 3.In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type or paste the following text at the prompt: reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Window… Sessions /va /f 4.Press Enter to install the solution. 5.If The operation completed successfully displays, close the Administrator: Command Prompt window to complete this procedure.

Hidingmaster 19 Posted December 30, 2012 It looks like this solved some people's issue: Grand Theft Auto IV – Rockstar Support And here is the solution I used: Run "LaunchGTAIV.exe" as administrator -In the program files for gta, there should be two files, one is gtaiv.exe (which is used by default) and the other one I posted. Try using the other one, it should work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuckiiJr. 9 Posted December 30, 2012 Navigate to where you have it installed... Example path may be something like: C:\Program Files (x86)\steam\steamapps\common\EFLC\ Make a shortcut to the "LaunchEFLC.exe" and place it on your Windows desktop. Have your Steam-client open, and use the shortcut to launch EFLC instead. This works for me on my computer at least (Windows 7, 64-bit, home edition) for EFLC. I also used a similar method for launching GTAIV as well (make a short-cut for the "LaunchGTAIV.exe" file found in the GTAIV folder and launch from that)." And possibly this link might help idk Steam Users' Forums - View Single Post - ****GFWL key not valid & other CD Key Issues *Merged Threads* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheAlpha31 0 Posted December 30, 2012 This may be a last resort, but here we go: 1. Uninstall the game through Steam library. 2. Go to your steamapps (C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common) and delete anything that may be left in there from GTA4. 3. Uninstall Rockstar Game's Social Club (C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Social Club) 4. Delete save files & anything else from your "My Documents" folder (C:\Users\(USERNAME)\Documents\Rockstar Games). 5. Reinstall game through Steam library.

Lonewolf1925 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Source: Grand Theft Auto IV | PCGamingWiki Game Fails to start There is an issue in which the Steam Version of the game (And possibly non-steam) will fail to start. The Rockstar Social club login pops up, but after you sign in, or go offline, the game fails to start. This is caused by an out of date Games for Windows Live Client. You can download the client here. Download the Games for Windows Client | PC Games Client You may have to start run this program each time you want to play. Unfortunately, however, updating the client may not be the only issue preventing you from logging in to Games for Windows Live. It could also be a problem with your MTU size. To determine what your MTU size is, open a cmd window (click Start, type cmd, press enter). Once in the cmd window, enter the following command: C:\>netsh interface ipv4 show interfaces This will show you the MTU size currently set for all of your network interfaces. For your account to be able to log in, the MTU size must be set to 1500. If it is not, a quick fix is to just force the change in with: C:\>netsh interface ipv4 set subinterface "Local Area Connection" mtu=1500 store=persistent Assuming, of course, that "Local Area Connection" is the name of your network interface. Note that even though we set "store=persistent", this change will not be permanent and will be lost on reboot. If the game loads as a process under Task Manager, but disappears after a while, run GTAIV.exe under compatibility mode for Windows XP SP3 or higher. In Windows 7, this can be found under the Programs tab of the Control Panel. Also bookmark this site, as it's a VERY good site for any problems you might run into on PC.

Lonewolf1925 0 Posted December 31, 2012 Yeah removing saves is a good idea. Just copy them over to another folder and remove from documents. that way if it doesn't work you can at least still use your old saves if you find another solution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
