I have a Steam purchased game copy, I attempted to follow the guidlines for making a new file folder under "Rockstar Games" and I installed LCPDFR correctly. Now, no matter how I attempt to start the game (through my created folder or directly off steam), once I have signed into the social network I get the following Fatal error:XnetStartup Failed error #10093. I always try to run as an administrator, and I have no idea where to go from here. This is my third attempt at a re-install. After a search of the forums, I haven't found anything on this one (though I admit I am about as computer savy as a cinder block). I appreciate your time and help on this forum, and I hope I followed protocol!

you need to be sure you Install games for windows live, rockstar social club, and .net framework 4

After more research on my end, I found out it is a windows live error. I found another forum where this issue was addressed and it said to delete the windows live from my control panel/uninstall, so I did, expecting to reinstall windows live at the social club window after game start. Now the game gives me no errors, it just will not start, I can sign into social club and then it does nothing else... wow, I am a rockstar at messing up rockstar games.... so the social club and framework 4 are installed. I have no clue how to fix this one...

I appear to be having the same issue, I have pretty much the same setup. The error I get is

"Exception EFCreateError in module DSOUND.dll at 0001165C5. Cannot create file "C:Program Files (x86)2K Games/Grand Theft Auto IVasilog.txt"

I followed the video step by step to avoid the error, to no avail.

By the way, everything is installed, and updated. I've attempted to install lcpdfr three times.

Don't thread jack....you go here

Op: Just google GFWL client download or GFWL Client installer

Obviously, my intention was not to "jack" the thread, I wasn't sure if my issue was related in any way. So my apologies to the OP. Thank you for the link.

Your issue was totally unrelated "Fatal error:XnetStartup Failed error #10093" does not equal "Exception EFCreateError in module DSOUND.dll at 0001165C5"
