Hey guys, last night I finally got GTA IV from steam and installed LCPD V1.0c and when I start the game and press alt + p it wont start. I also tried using v0.95 and it worked for a few minutes then crashed and now it just glitches out on the loading screen and will stay stuck on the loading screen.  I downloaded and installed all the direct x components and frame work.  Not sure whats going on with it. Right now I'm doing a fresh install of GTA, another 3 hour wait :( any help would greatly be appreciated.

Steam doesn't run games as Admin, so you'll have to right click on the Steam icon, go to properties, go to compatibility and click Run this program as Administrator. apply the changes and proceed to load up the game as normal.

 

If that doesn't work then uninstall LCPDFR and follow this guide - '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

I just tried that but when I go to compatiblity it doesn't pull up anything that says run as admin. I have been running all my programs logged into my admin account if that helps anything, not really sure haha

Ahh, it may have been because I forgot to pull dsound.dll out of the lcpd folder and put it in the root folder. But I also tried the automatic install so I'm not sure if that's what's causing it or not.

So I just did a fresh install of everything and still no dice
