Hey. I have searched the forum for something like this but I haven't seen it.

I had some trouble starting GTA after downloading LCPDFR. I had GTA VI yesterday, and It run fine! After downloading LCPDFR, it would load shortly before saying that it had stopped working. I fixed this problem by deleting xfile.dll (or something like that) and that didn't happen anymore. However, the game then would load on start up, but nothing would actually come up on the screen. I don't know how to fix this? People are saying it's GfWL, should I reinstall this? Should I just reinstall GTA? I need some help guys please! This is so frustrating!

Thanks for ANY help.

Read the stickied topics please (linked in my signature) and post a diagnostics log.

We can only speculate at the moment until you provide that log but it's likely you deleted xliveless and either xliveless or dsound are essential for running the mod.

Right will do this ASAP as i'm on a different computer, how am I supposed to run a diagnostics log?

Also, it's not the Mod that's not running, it's the GTA. I have xliveless, but the game doesn't load, nothing happens! But yeah, will get a diagnostics log asap.

You download the G17 diagnostics tool and run it and it should give you a summary of what you have installed with regards to the game and the mod. I should add that installing and using dsound rather than xliveless is preferred.

Also, while we are in the prelim stage of things; Do you have a legitimate copy of grand theft auto IV that you are using without a crack?

Nope I'm using a totally legitimate copy of GTA. It was weird, because when I had d.sound, it would just say "GTA has stopped working" once I deleted it, it would load, but nothing would happen. After reinstalling LCPDFR with xliveless the same "not working" thing happened, until I deleted xfile.dll. It's not so much LCPDFR that's the problem, it's just that now, I can't even start GTA, whereas I could before I downloaded LCPDFR. Anyway, it's 10.11am here in the UK, so I'll have that diagnostic up here by 11.00am at the latest.

Thanks for the responses, as I know the help is voluntary :)

Hey, I can't download the diagnostic tool as every time I open it to install it Winzip pops up asking me to register. I didn't have xliveless, and that only caused GTA to load a bit but never pop up. I just reinstalled LCPDFR with d.sound but now it's just gone back to "GTA has stopped working" Please will someone help me? I'm so lost!

Use winrar if you want to extract the diagnostic tool and run it as administrator.
