Hi, I am new to this game and bought gta iv for lcpdfr because it looks like an awesome addition to the game. I have patch 1.0.7.0 installed, with no mods, but I get a message saying gta iv has stopped and is checking for a solution. If I put xliveless and the scripthook in the main directory, the diagnostic says everything is good but then the diagnostic says stopped and checking for solution. If I put the xliveless and scripthook in the scripts folder, the diagnostic says asi not found as well as c++ scripthook and .net scripthook not found and gta iv starts up for a second and goes away. I am very confused and if some could please tell me how to fix this issue, I would greatly apppreciate it.

EDIT: If i copy the xliveless and scripthooks from the scripts folder and paste them in the main directory, the diagnostic says it is good, but the game still says it stopped and is checking for solution.

If I'm not wrong your Grand Theft Auto version is not correct. You need to patch the game to Version 1.0.7.0. Also why is your Grand Theft Auto located in the 'E Drive' Isn't that a Recovery Drive?

agree update game problem fixed

While installing the mod I have quoted a sentence out of a topic Break has posted:

"Update GTA IV to 1.0.7.0 (the latest version of the game, or 1.1.2.0 for EFLC) - This sometimes fixes a wide variety of issues"

When I first installed GTA IV, before installing any mods or anything, I was having the same problem. After updating the game to 1.0.7.0 I downloaded and installed GFWL from the rockstar website (http://www.rockstargames.com/support/IV/PC/GFWLupdate/) and then set the compatibility to Windows XP SP3 and ran it as administrator, and it worked 100% fine. Hope this helps!

Sorry, I thought I already had patch 1.0.7.0. But now I installed the patch and no the E drive is my external hardrive which I'm using so gta doesn't take up too much space on my computer. I deleted dsound and xliveless from the games folders and it runs fine but I cant go on duty when I press alt+p. There is no red circle at the station. There is a picture of the diagnostic below which says im missing some things. I have both scripthooks in the scripts folder.

Ok so all you need to do now is download just dsound, and then download Microsoft .NET Framework 4 and then Microsoft Visual C++ and you are all set to play.

Microsoft .NET Framework 4: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=17851

Microsoft Visual C++: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=5555

I got the game to work and I can go on duty, but now the taser won't deploy after hitting alt t twice. And I can't figure out how to aim, thanks for the support.

Sometimes for the Taser you have to spam it, or you can cycle your weapons to your pistol as it replaces that weapon. To aim all you have to do on your mouse is right click and hold it that's how you aim.

Thanks a lot guys, but one last question. My spark IV doesnt recognize the vehicle folders on my desktop when I try to import them. I click cdimages, vehicles, edit, import, desktop, and the wft, and wtd files aren't there. Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

For SparkIV all you have to do is click Browse > models > cdimages > vehicles.img > import > Find your car wtd and wft files > click save then that's it.

Please do not hijack topics. If you've got an issue, go make your own topic. Don't steal others or you will get infractioned for it. I got rid of your post too.

Yeah, I know all of the steps for spark IV, but when I click import, the wft and wtd. files aren't in the desktop folder where I extracted them.

Hm well that is really weird, I have never faced that problem. I mean you are using SparkIV for version 1.0.7.0 and you are running the program as a Admin right?

Yeah, I think I'm using the right version, and yes I run it as an administrator. Do I have to install it in the gta directory? Because right now it is on my desktop in a random folder.

I have mine on the desktop to. All I do is open the program, do the steps above and my files show up perfectly. I can't seem to find the cause for you, it's got me stumped.

@midnight900

Thanks for all your help, but I just got open iv and the files show up on there. I just installed a Tahoe and Crown Victoria perfectly. Thanks again for the support.

Nothing to see here!
