I found a solution. The First thing you'll need to do will be to download the following distributable by microsoft http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=201134 then set the GTAIV.exe executable into compatibility mode to Windows 7. login to social club, login to GFWL and then you'll be able to play and save. No idea about the multi-player. (after your first login, it will notify you there are updates available for GFWL and will ask you to update the client. A reboot may be needed.

Step 1 You open the game and get to the main menu of GTA 4. Where it says Play, Options, Guide, Exit. On that screen you press the Home key on your keyboard. On some keyboards is called Home and End key on find Step 2 Menu Games for Windows Live is opened. Choose Create a new account. Information screen appears. Low view peering find where it says Create local account. Click there. Step 3 Write your Username and ready. Now you can save games of GTA 4

the issue could be you are running windows 8. right click it and select run as admin. if that doesnt work try going into the properties of the game and selecting compatibility and run in XP or vista

Jonathon, if you know right about when it stopped working, I would run a System Restore back to just before that, maybe a couple of days if there's an entry for that time. It will uninstall programs installed since then, and will also uninstall Windows updates, and I'm pretty sure it takes care of Java updates, if you have that installed (most people do). It won't affect your documents or internet favorites or anything like that. If that doesn't make the game load correctly, I would uninstall and reinstall the game. You can locate your game save folder, and copy the whole thing to your desktop or Documents or whatever. For Windows XP, it's in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\WildTangent\fatethetraitorsoul\Persistent\SAVE, or for Vista and 7: C:\Program Data\WildTangent\fatethetraitorsoul\Persistent\SAVE. These folders will be hidden, so you'll have to set the Explorer window to show hidden and system files. I would just copy the whole SAVE folder, uninstall and reinstall the game, and then start a new game just to make sure the folders get reestablished to start with. Then copy your old SAVE folder onto the new one. I did this moving the game from one computer to another, and it worked fine.

It will, but you should run it as an administrator, otherwise it will freeze up periodically. As an admin, this only happens once in a while. (Turn computer off when it does, remember anything not saved in the game will be lost). Still worth it, though.

You need a Steam account to play. You always have to be online to be able to pay

reinstall and make sure your logged into windows as administrator, make sure your password is correct, make sure your fire wall is allowing all the game process's to communicate, and if you have to, turn user settings to minimum and allow all process's to install.

Sorry to hear you're using Windows 8. Made the mistake of ordering a laptop with that OS and sent it back after a day of frustration with it. Can only suggest going to the website for the company that built this game to see if they can provide an answer. The age of the game would tend to be a detriment.

When starting the program, you can skip the part when it tries to log in. EA decommissioned the Active servers quite a while ago. The program tracks everything you do well enough, the servers aren't needed.

Dear Margie,You have to uninstall old version of the game manually, then you will be able to update the game without any problems.Thank you!

I believe it is the game, I have tried running it on Windows XP, 7 and 8 and it freezes on all of them. There is an issue with the game.

It's when u first put in as new game and it needs to install, that's game data. It's at the top under the game category in the xmb menu. Some save and transfer, but some don't.

Hi there, I've contacted them in the past, and they were able to walk me through an issue, but that was years ago. I've been updating for FIVE hours now, and the update, while continuing, still isn't finished. I'll be calling CS in the next few days if that download doesn't go through, and will update my review for you.

fortunately or unfortunately, you must download Steam, and register to play the game thru them. this is in addition to any other problems you may or may not have.

You can continue with your saved game. No problem.I started over just for fun.

I just wanted to add my .02 cents. R. Knowlton's 'delete Windows Live' advice worked for me also. I spent the better part of 1.5 days on this 'CIFS Sign In & Password' nonsense fruitlessly trying all different ID's/Passwords, messing with folder permissions, etc... It wasn't until I delete Window Live that I got my LG BX580 to find my shared folders on my Windows 7 Home PC. I had to delete everything with Windows Live attached to it (I thing it was Windows Live Essentials and Windows Live Sync that I deleted). Once deleted and my PC rebooted, my LG BX580 found my shared directories and played my files...including my HD .mkv files. No password required...just showed my folders and the files play when selected. I consider this a major 'bug' with either LG or Windows Live. They DO NOT work together.
