Hmm....... are you trying to connect to the same person each time? It may that you are just having opposing connections.

Have you changed ISPs (Internet Service Providers) recently? Maybe your ping is to high and its just kicking you out right away but giving you the slow message. I couldn't imagine what the problem is unless you've got something resource hogging other than GTA IV running.....

 

Maybe if you try claiming ownership over the directory. If you select the directory and navigate to the folder properties ---> Security ---> the Advanced button near the bottom ---> Owner tab ---> edit button ---> select your user self, not your administrator self.

 

You don't select administrator because it just doesn't work well as your 'user self'. When your user, since you own it and any changes inside can happen regardless of running in Admin or not, so the running as admin part isn't necessary unless that file makes changes outside its directory.

 

I very rarely have crashes now since I have done that. Much much less then before, when it does happen I completely forget gta still does that xD. Plus I find I can tab in and out more easily without crashing.

Another thing: Is your firewall blocking GTA IV?

^^ Another thing you want to look at. I found that its best to just completely shut off your windows 'firewall'. All 'three', if you go to your start menu and type in firewall and go to the advanced settings. Once you open that you see its like an inbound and outbound advance window. One the first window, like when you open it up you see the domain private and public profile 'firewalls' then a small green arrow under the fix box in that window (hope you've found it lol). Its the Windows Firewall Properties

 

Just go in and make sure that all firewall states are OFF while playing gta iv online. Running a few communities and being apart of a few, I found it best just to turn them all off rather than trying to fight to get everything working just right....

You lost me. Can you be more specific when describing so I can find it, I sort of have an idea  but I don't.

No, you are bumping. This issue is usually caused by inadequate system specifications for the game, though. Meaning you will probably have to upgrade. If you're still having issues, create a new topic.

Nothing to see here!
