Things I did:
1) Followed instructions to downgrade exactly as displayed here:
2) I installed LCPDFR using the "LCPD First Response 1.1 Installer No Ads.exe" Installer.
3) The LCPDFR diagnostics tool only complains about:
[System dependencies] Failed to resolve MSVCR100.dll from D:\software\Games\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV Episodes from Liberty City\EFLC\ScriptHookDotNet.asi
I tried dropping the DLL it asks for in game dir but it apprently wants it in the system folder:
[System dependencies] Failed to find MSVCR110.DLL (exists in game folder, but is expected to be in systems folder only)
I'm at lost about what to do now.
Hope anyone can help me since I used to play this since it's release and throughout 5 whole years daily, and now I wanted to play it again but I just can't.
THanks.
PD: FULL LOG:
EDIT: I went through a visual basic redistributable installing binge just in case, I installed the following:
Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable x86 and x64
2008 Redistributable x64 9.0.21022
2012 Redistributable x86 11.0.61030
2013 Redistributable x86 and x64 12.0.21.005
2015 Redistributable x86 and x64 14.0.24215
It didn't work.
EDIT2:
I installed the 2010 Redistributable x86 and this fixed it, even though the error still comes up in the diagnostics thingy, the thing works.
