Can't you go to the store and ask for your money back ?

exactly no refund, or if they did they would only give me 20p for it or something stupid! i still can't install it, i keep on getting a release date check error! i put the code in got past it, tried to launch the game, then it asks for it again! and this time when i click validate the validation box doesn't open!

it's pissing me off something awful! hasn't razor got it? iv'e tried to install it offline! (it is possible!) :supermad:

Yeah, all 27 of my installations of GTAIV have been fine for me, I haven't tried installing it whilst being offline though so I'm not so sure about that.

GTAIV looks like crap anyway, unless you use ENB mods, they make the game look fantastic.

Try installing it whilst connected to the internet and see what happens.

finally got it installed... but i still think the games crap... played it today registered and it lags to the point where it's un-playable. And my specs are reasonable to play on medium, yet it can only play on low with too much lag to play. specs here: asus motherboard (can't remember make number), intel pentium d dual core, 4gb ram, nvidia 9500 gt running on windows vista 32 bit. got drivers but i don't like nvidia's website to update em, as it gave me a trojan blob virus from the official download site!

any help? :suicide:

*bump* well its been a while but i got gta 4 to work properly with the 1.0.0.4 maintanance patch, until it auto update itself to 1.0.7.0 and screwed itself up! and now every time i launch it i get the horrid: ws10 fatal error. so i went to the rockstar support website and asked them is there any fix for this? and they said reinstall it and so on, then the assholes said it was sorted even though i said the problem persists, so they closed the topic. and wont help me, useless assholes! has anyone else had this error that they managed to fix? (i thaught i might ask here since rockstar support won't help) :help:

There's a list of error codes and fixes on the Rockstar support site, try that.

just wiped my pc and re-installed it works now but i cant get mods installed on 1.0.0.4 (the fith patch maintanance) ive got these files to make the mods work : asi loader (up to date), script hook.net (up to date), filechecker (up to date), and the ragdoll mod by hippie communist (1.0.0.4 version) the game loads but the hotkeys do shit all... quite dissapointing after all this time that it took all that time and did not achieve the one thing i wanted out of gta 4. (and i still get laggy gameplay and fps...) :supermad:

I haven't been able to mod GTAIV since its 2nd ever update.

It's a boring, ugly and crap game anyway.

I have to disagree = yes GTAIV is a complete ball ache to get working with your system setup and is very heavy on CPU rather than GPU - although once you do have it running as you want its an awesome game with or without the mods...
