After I press "Start" the game loads, and it loads up to a point where it just crashes. I notice that it loaded 3 pictures at the loading frame, and it was getting ready to load my loaded game, but it couldn't and the game crashed. But that might not be the reason why I think. Before this, It was working fine, until it frozed in the game after about 7 mins of gameplay.

So now my vehicles.img is all back to original, No modded cars, all I have is 4 weapons modded, ELS V6, LCPDFR installed, TrafficFlow, IVDashCam 2.1. Thats all. This is very strange, since this just happen out of nowhere.

I ran the Diagnostics and it came up with 1 Component error which was the ASI Loader:

Why have you created a new topic? Come on, you're not new, you know the rules around here.

Why have you created a new topic? Come on, you're not new, you know the rules around here.

The other Topic had no reply, and I was guessing it fall into the wrong category, so I waited a bit, and then started a new one mainly on my GTA4 Crash. Since the other topic was focus on another title. If I am breaking the rules, than G17 Media will terminate one of the topics, and I apologize for that.

You could always edit the first post you created in that topic which afaik allows you to also edit the topics title.

Go into your GTA directory and look for either of the following files:

• dsound.dll
  
• xlive.dll
  

Tell me if there is none, one or both of those present in the root directory.

Edited January 19, 201214 yr by Tom H

I have both. Both of dsound.dll and xlive.dll.

get rid of one of them.

Hmm, alright. I'll try it out. I'll delete the xlive.

Nope, still doesn't work. Same error occurs. It just crashes at the load of game at the 3rd Picture load frame.

Edited January 19, 201214 yr by Sharp-

It could be a corrupt gamesave, did you save whilst on duty?

Ah no, Not that I know of, I only saved once so far since I return to the game and it was while I was OFF duty. I did use a copy of the SaveGames data i got off of GtaInside.com, i reformatted my computer and so i put that save game files and data to my savegames directory.......but that shouldn't be the problem, it was there for days now and nothing happened until just now.

Ok then, try deleting the dsound.dll and then restore the xlive.dll from your recycle bin.

Oh goodness. I deleted the xlive.dll from my recycle bin, Ahhhh. I always like to keep my PC clean and delete w/e that is in the bin. What should I do now? Oh man....

It's ok, delete dsound.dll then reinstall LCPDFR. when you get to the screen with the checklist on, untick dsound.dll and then tick xlive.dll....

Ah okay, I was thinking of that.

-Nope, still doesnt work. Dsound deleted and I re-installed LCPDFR with xliveless and still same problem

Should I try to re-install the whole game or something?

Edited January 19, 201214 yr by Sharp-

I'm betting my money on a corrupt savegame. Try deleting the savegame file, and start a new one, see if that does it.

So, deleting which I will be putting somewhere else then the savegame location? That is found in Documents > Rockstar games > Savegames right? Just take that one out of there?

yes that's the correct place...

Move everything in that folder elsewhere..

Edited January 19, 201214 yr by Tom H

Still doesnt work. Same problem of crashing.

Everything was move and that folder was empty. I ran the game and still doesnt work.

This sucks, what the heck is going on, it was running fine, now this is just complete bs out of my system.

Edited January 19, 201214 yr by Sharp-

Are you running the game as an administrator?

Of course.

What are you suggesting for me to do now?

Edited January 19, 201214 yr by Sharp-

Since you have used xlive.dll check this folder for saves too:

Vista/7: %LOCALAPPDATA%Rockstar GamesGTA IVsavegames

XP: %USERPROFILE%Local SettingsApplication DataRockstar GamesGTA IVsavegames\
