-I've downloaded the complete edition from steam

-I've downgraded it to 1.0.7.0 using the downgrading tool found here.

-Installed all prerequisites

-Pasted LCPDFR 1.1 into the root folder, replacing any files it asks. Delete dsound as I use xlive.

-I launch the game, it loads in, few seconds after I spawn in the game crashes without any error message

-LCPDFR diagnostic tool says the ScriptHookDotNet.asi is modified, not true, i use the one that comes with lcpdfr.

what gives?

Hello, I have the same problem. I'm trying to find solution all day.

Figured it out. Get a fresh installation of GTA IV, use the downgrading tool found on this website to get it down to 1.0.7.0. In the downgrader's "select mods" screen only select xliveless and maybe shader fixes if you want them, as well as "download and install prerequisites" if you don't have them (you probably do if you've run it before). Also say yes to the command line txt. When done, download zolika patch and paste it into your game, and i also recommend the trainer. After this, go to the lcpdfr download page, and download the "LCPD First Response 1.1 Manual Install.rar", right now it's at the bottom, NOT THE LEGACY 1.1. Paste everything except dsound.dll into your game folder. Run game via the PlayGTAIV.exe or if you get an error via the LaunchGTAIV.exe, although you shouldn't get any.

Thanks mate, it's working! I did all as you wrote, exept I used Legacy LCPDFR. I guess that's the problem.
