Hello / Good evening

I have GTA IV on Steam since 3 years now.

Since the last update i can't launch it at all, it always tries to install "Steam Activation" and then two little windows pops with a SecuROM error (screenshots in the files)

i tried to reach out to the SecuROM support, they tried to help me, but in vain.

The error code say that it should be a debugger tool. I tried to search on the internet for some info but i have nothing running on my computer that is a debugger. 

Is there a way to search for a background task on my pc that is running ?

I even tried to downgrade GTA IV to the 1.0.7.0, but nothing, i tried reinstall it 2 times already, even in another location. I don't have fiber so it takes a long time for me to download the game each time.

 

Please help me, i don't know what to do, i just want to play the game. 

 

I think it may be best to contact Rockstar support in this instance. The error does indeed refer to debugging software, or the inability for SecuROM to initialize correctly.

 

You can use Task Manager (Press Start, type taskmgr and enter) to investigate if you have any suspicious programs running.

Yeah i send them a ticket, hope to find a solution...

For the Task Manager i already checked it, nothing wrong. I even scanned with AV, Malwarebytes, Adwcleaner...
