GTA IV and GTA EFLC makes a comback on Windows 10

When Windows 10 came out GTA IV did not work on it. Eventually some people managed to get it working. It became even more of a problem when Microsoft pulled the plug on Games for Windows Live. At that point Steam stopped selling it.

All that changed on March 19, 2020 when Rockstar released GTA IV: Complete Edition. This program combines GTA IV and GTA EFLC (Episodes from Liberty City). Steam then started selling GTA IV: Complete Edition on March 24. People who had GTA IV or GTA EFLC in their Steam Library received a free upgrade to the new program. It was announce that people with disc versions of GTA IV or GTA EFLC would be able receive a free upgrade to GTA IV: Complete Edition at some later date.

GTA IV fail to launch

Last spring Rockstar was letting people upgrade to GTA IV the Complete Edition for free. All you needed was the Product Key from either your copy of GTA IV or EFLC. I did that back then. I don't know if they are still doing that.

However, my old copies of GTA IV and EFLC still work. These games don't interfere with GTA IV the Complete Edition because they save games in different locations.

I did this to install GTA IV:
1. Install game from DVDs and stop at Release Date Check
2. Change computer date year to 2013
3. Continue with Release Date Check
4. When finished return date to current date
5. Run GTA IV Patch 8
6. Copy XLiveLess to Install directory

At this point GTA IV will run. It still requires Disk 1 to be in the DVD drive. I have a fix for that.

I just took screenshots of GTA IV, GTA IV EFLC, and GTA IV TCE to show that I have them all working.

 

Gta 4 iv crashes on start

I built my new computer three years ago with Windows 10. I could not get GTA IV or GTA EFLC to work with it. A month ago I decided to try again. I finally got both working with Windows 10.

1. Release Date Check.
Problem: would always fail
Solution: Stop when asked to do that, change the year on the PC to 2013, continue with the installation, when finished return the year to the current year

2. Run the official GTA IV Patch 8

3. Games for Windows Live
Problem: Game could not connect to it to login.
Solution: Games for Windows Live has been shut down. Get XLiveLess to make up for that.

GTA IV should work now. I detest having to insert the disc every time I run the game. To solve that I use the same little fix you do.

I also have GTA EFLC. I used similar steps to get it to work in Windows 10.
