So I've spent countless hours looking for a fix to my problem with GTAIV. I've tried a few things, and after 5-6 hours I finally got the game to load past the character screen. I installed LCPDFR, played GTAIV for an hour or two and decided to take a break. Come back to it an hour later, and now I can't get past the character loading screen again. I can't seem to find the problem. I know the problem isn't my PC because I was just able to run the game on full HD without issues. I'm also running on Windows 8.1

 

When I boot the game via Steam, it does't let me get past the RGSC because of SecuError 2000, but when I run as administrator directly from the folder, there aren't any issues up until the infinite character loading screen. Can someone help me out with this problem? I greatly appreciate any help towards this as I've been frustrated looking at different solutions. I figured I might as well ask myself.

hmmmmmm have you try reinstalling everything or maybe you need to run it in 86x not to sure try putting up your log and im sure someone will see the problem!

Where do I locate that?
