I recently had Gta IV on my comp but I had just restored it. I have a gta disc but it is scratched up and wont reinstall so I am wondering if there is a download online I can use then put my game code in?

Please contact the Rockstar support for these kind of issues. Also, this belongs in GTA IV Discussion.. The gaming section is for all gaming discussions outside of GTA IV, V and LCPDFR. Moving. 

You can try and get it off Steam, and then input your key when it prompts you. Let me know if that works! Good luck!

It shouldn't work, as GFWL and Steam use different authentication methods. Haven't heard of that working before.

Let's not condone piracy, shall we? Topic cleaned.

Well, I guess there's no other way then. Try to see if a friend of yours has the IV CDs & get a image file from him, to burn into your own CDs.

You can try using your Retail code on Steam, as GTA IV should be able to activate as it's on the list of retail games available for activation.

 

If not you can re-purchase it from Steam for $29.99 (for GTA IV) or $69.99 for the complete edition which includes GTA EFLC

had the exact same problem. I can tell u right now.

No. You can't activate your retail code with steam (at least mine didin't work)

No you can't download it with your Key anywhere else.

I ended up buying it on steam again fpr 3 Bucks

Yeah when my disk went I had to repurchase through steam. Got the complete edition for 29.99 (IV and EFLC).
