When trying to start GTA via Steam, happened NIX I thought!
In fact, opened in the background, not visible, a window with the "invitation" to the Rockstar Game Social Club.
When I beat out the invitation with thanks, gave it to the first error - and again happened NIX - but this time really.
So: Fix registered with Rockstar Game Social Club, data input, a step further.
So full anticipation we went to the next trial and was waiting for me the next error:
Games for Windows Live to be installed! (Any .dll is not found, blah)
Resigned I therefore installed lammfromm the desired application -
and had no illusions: the registration will probably be required.
Lo and behold, I was right. Attempting ingame login for Windows Live to skip, followed by a promter crash.
New start-up, open Steam again, start GTA 4, confirm credentials for the Rockstar Social Club, then ingame with Windows Live ID login.
And Tadaa! It runs.
It should be mentioned: This spectacle happens _JEDES MAL_ when I start GTA 4.
Anyone hoping to its predecessors Vice City and San Andreas here on a spectacle, this tooth which must be drawn, unfortunately.
The game behavior, vehicle handling, Aiming, weapon selection, use of mobile phones (added: new and nice), movement possibilities on land and the camera work have decreased significantly compared to its predecessors and seem rather console than PC-optimized.
And who still hopes that a 1A graphics out the tears again, even the seie disappointed.
What remains? The game idea is common smart, GTA is the story style with the main character and many, many loyal usual first-scheming-then-dead friends. At least about.
