Ok,

 

Iv'e looked every where and followed all the steps and seem to get no were.

 

Basicly my problem is when i start up GTA IV Its stuck loading the characters it just goes though, its like it goes on forever...

 

Is there anyone that knows how to fix this, if i want to come off gta iv i have to restart my laptop.

 

Thanks in advanced.

Sorry for the bump.

 

Ill Click the game now. Click Play, It asks if i want to sign in what ever i say it will start playing the loading music and i get a black screen. I check my task manager and it says Not Responding so i have to end the task.

 

Any idea really want to play LCPDFR ;(

• Make sure you aren't using a crack - We don't support cracks
• Update GTA IV to 1.0.7.0 (the latest version of the game, or 1.1.2.0 for EFLC) - This sometimes fixes a wide variety of issues
• Make sure that you run the game as an administrator.
• Make sure that your GTA IV root folder (and every subdirectory) is not set to "read-only"
• Ensure that FirstResponse.net.dll is in the SCRIPTS folder and that AdvancedHook.dll is in the GTA IV ROOT folder.
• Ensure that ScriptHook.dll, ScriptHookDotNet.asi and Dsound.dll OR Xlive.dll are in the GTA IV ROOT folder
• Ensure that there is a folder titled 'LCPDFR' in the SCRIPTS folder.
• Check that all the above files exist, if they do not, reinstall LCPDFR with the automatic installation.
• Ensure that you are using up to date versions of every LCPDFR dependency and LCPDFR itself.
• Install these: http://www.microsoft...9f-b21f31ab88b7, http://www.microsoft...&displaylang=en
• Run a diagnostic report (found here:  title="">http://www.lcpdfr.co...agnostics-tool/) which will point any errors it can find and will be used later on if you need to post a topic.

I have done all of that. Still the same issue.

 

And Thanks Bro Forgot about editing ha.

Are you running the game and the installer as administrator? It may solve many issues with the game.

But still it should be able to run it Right?

Well, as the game behaves right now, no. You should invest in a better computer. Try reinstall the game and apply the latest patch again. After that, I am out of advice.

How about trying to buy it on steam would that be any diffrent?

Uninstalled it and then reinstalled it again. Now I Can Get Back to the loading of the characters but it goes on and on. Its a loop.

Ill then check task manager. and it says not responding. ;(

Well, the steam version is not really different from retail. This is so weird. Any other users have a suggestion?

Thanks for the reply. Although i did what you said and still not luck! Not Responding and just going though the charaters loading.

Create text file called commandline in your GTA IV folder and in that text file type in -norestrictions.
