Hello, I recently purchased GTA IV (it’s an older version) and it won’t start. When I try to launch it, I see a black screen with no audio, even though the task manager says it’s open. I’ve attached details about my setup. Thanks! sys info.TXT DxDiag.txt

It seems to be a mix-up between Steam and disk versions. The Steam version can sometimes take longer to load initially, but once it does, it usually boots smoothly. If you're experiencing delays, try restarting your PC or checking for updates. Disk issues often require more troubleshooting steps.

I purchased it from Rockstar Warehouse and turned it on via Steam.

You need to get the GFWL from Microsoft’s site and install it. The version that comes with the game is faulty and leads to many issues.

Start by downloading xliveless and installing it. Next, make a file named commandline.txt inside the GTA 4 folder and paste the content there. Finally, execute it with administrative privileges.

Without Windows Live games available, you won't be able to play the game.
