Grand Theft Auto 4 is the most popular game released by Rockstar. GTA is the most common program that is installed by the user on a computer. And like all programs, it is susceptible to many system malfunctions that lead to failure.
Instructions
Step 1
The main reason why GTA 4 does not start may be a system mismatch with the minimum requirements of the game. Every program has a list of similar attributes. Most often, they do not fit into: RAM, processor frequency, video card memory, system version and drivers. For this game to work, but only when using Windows XP, you need to install the Servius Park 3 hardware and software component. You can eliminate such a discrepancy by improving your personal computer. To do this, upgrade your PC, replace required motherboards, and install newer drivers to maximize performance.
Step 2
Also, registration on the Rockstar Club Internet resource is required to run this game. This portal serves to save and compare game progress with the data of other users. Registration is made immediately after installing the game. It can be completed both online and offline. After completing the procedure, you will need to restart your computer. After that, every time before starting GTA, a window from Rockstar will fly up on the screen, in which you should enter your username and password.
Step 3
For almost all modern games to work, you need to install DirectX and Net Framework components. The latest versions of these applications are most often installed automatically, immediately after the download of the game itself is completed. But it happens that this does not happen. In this case, they can be downloaded from the official Microsoft website or from a special collection of plugins such as Dravers Park.
Step 4
Antivirus can be another factor affecting the launch of the program. It is capable of blocking some essential files, considering them to be potentially dangerous. It is important to note that if the antivirus program has placed such files in quarantine, otherwise to its storage, then they can be restored. But if they were removed, the situation will be corrected only by a complete reinstallation of the game. Having restored its performance, set the priority for GTA in the antivirus program or disable it before each launch.
Step 5
The path to the game folder may also be lost. This usually happens due to an improper shutdown of the computer. Without saving the changes, the system loses data and asks the user to find them manually. When you try to start the application, a window flies to the desktop, in which you must enter the system link to the package with files. If no changes were made during the download, then the game is installed in the following path: Computer / Local Disk (C:) / Games / Rockstar / Grand Theft Auto 4.
