I believe i had downloaded the latest version. Is NVE just incompatible with my setup? Thank you.

Hello, it appears i'm experiencing a similar issue as here (see below) but no solution was posted after OP said it was resolved. I get this error when starting the game with Natural Vision Evolved, sometimes it says ELS, then PLD, or TrainerV, all .asi files. Thank you for your help.

Hi there. I'm using a disk version of GTA IV to avoid the stupid 'complete edition' over at steam, which the disk version is 'updated' to 1.0.7.0. after it installs. I have the most recent version of the 'windows prerequisites', and have tried both the installer, and manual installations, both on fresh installs of GTA IV with no other modifications. I have set every folder's 'read-only' ticks to off. Launch GTA IV will not launch as administrator, because apparently 'an admin prevented this', even though i am 'the system admin'. Got to love windows. GTA IV.exe runs but tells me to use Launch GTA IV. With Xliveless in, the game launches as normal but the loader script fails. In this instance, you can continue vanilla gameplay. With dsound in, the game will not even launch due to it claiming that it cannot edit a file. additionally, i took a LCPDFR.loader file from a backup that use to work on steam (before they messed everything up) and popped it in the file too. It, as you can predict, wasn't useful. If at all possible, i'd prefer to use Xliveless over dsound, so i don't have to do the first mission over and over again. i've probably done it a hundred times too many. I'm not entirely sure how i got to this point. I've been playing this mod for years across multiple PCs, installing it numerous times, hell, was playing it this week and wasn't even experiencing this issue. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated, have a good day. -Phantom AdvancedHookInit.log ScriptHook.log ScriptHookDotNet.log

Hi there, i've used my disc version of the game to quite frankly dodge the stupid 'update' (downgrade) on steam. In spite of this, i figured i'd play around for a few and get the nostalgic run from the gta iv police while being on islands you're not supposed to have access to early game. Well, after probably 20-30 minutes of gameplay, i get this error that i've quite frankly never seen before. Zlib 20 Fatal. After some searching about, i've noticed this tends to be connected to pirated versions of the game - which i know is not true because i purchased this game from Walmart many many years ago. So how would i go about diagnosing this issue? The only things i did 'weirdly' was set the date of my PC to 2014 so the SecuROM bs would verify, then back to 2020, and i've popped xliveless.dll in the game file aswell. Other than these two things, the game is installed as any other average user would have it. (vanilla) Thank you for any input, and have a good rest of your day. -Phantom
