So I know this game is outdated, but I'm having a bit of a problem So I bought GTA IV off of amazon and downloaded it from steam. I installed it and this is the problem So when I click on the GTA IV it launches the rockstar thing I click on play offline, the game launches loads up and then crashes back to my desktop. In task manager it still says the process is running. My specs Quad core 2.8ghz processor 2gb video ram 6gb of system ram Windows 7 premium 64 bit If anyone can please help me on getting the game running that would be great
Why did you buy the game twice? Seems kinda redundant to buy the game off Amazon and then again off Steam, if using the Steam file try and verify the files on it to see if anything is missing. With the Amazon issue I'm going to inquire if it is a physical copy or digital.
It is entirely possible your gpu isnt supported by the game and thats causing the crash, verify game cache that may fix it
Perhaps update your gpu driver to the latest version. I remember this game had an issue with gpus with greater than 2gb vram but it needs to start for that one
