I did a complete new fresh installed gta iv on steam. I installed the new 1.0 mod with els, as soon as I use the 100% save file, it crashes when I load it up. Any ideas as to what I can do? Thank you :)

Yep, now the game crashed as soon as the loading up new game starts. Wow...how can a purchased game cause more problems than a copy version. Is it possible to install the game outside the Steam's folder?

I think I will have to uninstall it. Wipe out the folder, and the save files as well. Starting over with a fresh install and follow these instructions 1 by 1.

Thanks for getting back to me. I will try this option out tonight, and hope this will be it. I shouldn't expect to get you guys to reply tomorrow or boxing day as I feel bad for taking up your time. Again, Thanks for you're support :)

Thank you for coming in to help :) I've got the path of where the GTA IV is installed by Steam: C:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonGrand Theft Auto IV Hoping to keep the 100% save file out and see if that will stop the crashing. Then put in my normal mods that don't causes the game to crash.

Just a quick update. I had to reinstall the game because I downloaded a 100% save file and the file overwritten something in the XLive folder. Maybe that was causing the problem. If that is the case, I won't be able to install mods until I complete the game 100% myself. This is lame...

I will give this a go. Will let you all know what the faulty one was. Thanks for helping me with this, it means allot.

the illegal as most of the mod cars in it, including the uniforms. Either it's Steam that's interupting the mod script or I've put in the 100% save file into my Xlive folder. Ugh! this is such a pain lol. My illegal copy is installed on my External HD with no problems, apart from a few crashes but thats it. This steam version is going haywire with the stupid falling in the station when I stand in the spot.

I followed the instructions you gave me. However, it still didn't fix it. This is what I have installed: ELS LCPDFR Mod 2.1 IC Enchanced Mod and 2 UK police cars. That was it.

Never even thought of that. Would that fix the problem? I hope Steam will allow me to run Admin. I'll let you know how It goes. Thank you.

I don't normally go on the forums as much. I do go on this site every day for a few years now, what I am about to tell you may sound funny in some sense haha! I was modding my GTA for a while back, that's including the illegal copy, and sometimes it does crash on occasions. So I thought, well fk it! I might as well buy it, knowing at the time it would stop the crashing and get to use enhanced graphics mods as well :) So, It doesn't matter what version I use because my illegal copy works perfectly, yet my steam version I bought is being a total pain atm :( When I put in the mods...When you go to the station to put on my uniform, and what not. Just when I stand on the red spot...I somehow loading, then BAM! I somehow fall through the ground, and end up on the other side of the city. Yet, this never happened to me before and that also never happens on my illegal copy...which is kinda funny in some sense lol. Any help guys? Thanks! Charlie.

I recently upgraded my bundle as I'm not that rich either. I work full time and I only get £540 a month but half of it goes to my bills :( Here's what I went and bought. Bundle Quad Core Asus Intel I5 Quad Core 3.8 ghtz 4GB DDR3 and the Asus Motherboard That was £279 I went and bought another 4gb ram which was only £20 Then bought an SSD 160GB + TB HDD total Cost = £140 Went on Ebay to buy a GTX 640 Nvidia Asus GDDR3 2GB (£60) I didn't immediately buy all the things, I bought one thing at a time. When you buy one at a time, you don't realize you're spending that much. Total cost: £490 and it plays GTA IV on the highest settings. Good luck. P.S. Don't buy the I7 if you really cannot afford it, I7 is mainly for rendering video editing, Photoshoppping, building softwares or gaming things. If you really want a good stable gaming rig? I'd recommend going for the I5 good budget one. Saves you a lot of money in the long run. I hope this helps.
