Hey all, my friends been wanting to download LCPDFR for a while. He's got a genuine copy from a box, and a genuine copy of LCPDFR. His GTA IV works perfectly without the mod, and when he installs LCPDFR a black command box blips up for a second and disappears and the game doesn't load. Any thoughts on what this might be? No error logs or anything, computer specifics are as follows:

 

Alienware M14X R2 i5 2.5 8G RAM running windows 8.1 x64

Tried installing game on external and on board hard drive 

Has he installed the Rockstar Social Club Patch? Without that the game will not run.

Hello there -- welcome to LCPDFR.com and thanks for trying out LCPDFR.

You failed to read the instructions before posting in this forum. So we'll remind you of them.

Please do the following:

• 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 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 ROOT GTA IV folder.
  
• Check that all the above files exist, if they do not, reinstall LCPDFR with the MANUAL installation.
  
• Ensure that you are using up to date versions of every LCPDFR dependency and LCPDFR itself.
  
• Install these: .Net Framework 4.5, Microsoft Visual C++ Redist 2012

2014-09-08 19:48:02 - Initializing ScriptHookDotNet v1.7.1.7 BETA (on GTA IV version 1.0.7.0 with C++ Hook version 0.5.1)

Ran the LCPDFR diagnostics tool, said the install was all correct. Installed .net framework, installed C++ distribution package, and it's not working at all. It comes up with the Social Club login, i press play offline, it goes to a black screen like its loading the game, and then it crashes and says "GTA IV stopped working properly". No idea where to go from here, any guidance would be much appreciated
