Yes sorry! I am using the Rockstar one from their website. https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200145406--May-28-2010-Grand-Theft-Auto-IV-Patch-7-Title-Update-v-1-0-7-0-English-1-0-6-1-Russian-1-0-5-2-Japanese- From their website, above

Any other mods? Do you have the latest update for the game (1.7) and latest xlive and asi files?

Physical copy, from Amazon and delivered through the post. The last time I used it (2 years ago) updating it worked fine?

I bought the physical cd rom game online. Is that different?

How does one do that? Thanks

Try removing the cars, then going into the game and seeing if it works. If it does, the car mods are probably the problem.

Greetings everyone, I have not gamed for about two years, because I am enjoying my real life too much! However, I recently got my laptop cleaned and have reinstalled GTA for fun. However, I do have a problem, I have tried updating the game with the 1.0.7.0 patch, however the app that tries to do it, takes a couple of minutes trying to locate my game and then says 'error, - failed'. Is there a fix to this please? thank you.

Have you tried to reinstall?
