I appoligize if this is in the wrong place. I'll attempt to be as clear as a can. I have downloaded and installed gta iv on my pc. I'm running windows 8.1. During the install proccess I downloaded all necessary files to run the game. The game runs fine. After that I installed lcpdfr. I chose the auto install using dsound.dill. I was able to play lcpdfr with no issues. I then decided to replace police cars in the game with els v8 capabilities. I ran the game and saw my cars just fine. I hadn't installed ELS just yet. I finally installed els v8 and that's when the game crashes on the first and main loading screen before gameplay. I then removed all els files and the game ran fine. I re-installed els and the game crahed at the same exact spot as mentioned before. Please assist. I have attempted to search for this solution and can't find exactly what I'm looking for. If the game only crashes when els is installed then I must be doing something wrong. I install els by copying all the install sub folders from the els folder to my gta iv folder.

 

 

PS: Thanks for the support in advance :)

 

 

EDIT : I installed els v7  the same way and it works. Any reason why els v8 crashes my gta iv using windows 8.1?

I had this problem too couple months back . Go to your directory of GTA IV and delete AdvancedHook.Init . The ELSv8 should work now.

Thank you!!!!!! I know you posted this like a month ago but I've been away for awhile due to personal reasons. Can't wait to try this tonight!
