Downgrading GTA IV has never been easier! This tutorial will show you how to downgrade GTA IV to patch 1070 or patch 1080 - up to you!
Doing so will allow you to gain access to multiplayer AND earn achievements with no external clients.
Requirements!
GTA IV: The Complete Edition - on STEAM.
Windows 7 or LATER.
25GB of HDD space (45+ recommended)
Step 1) DOWNGRADING!
1 ~ Once GTA IV is done downloading, right click on steam and open file location.
2 ~ (OPTIONAL) Make a backup of the GTAIV folder, incase something goes wrong whilst downgrading
3 ~ click HERE to download the downgrader (ZIP password is "gtrf")
4 ~ Drag the files to your main GTAIV folder
5 ~ Run patch 7 or 8! (8 is better for performance, 7 is more mod friendly. I personally chose 8)
9 ~ Go through the ENTIRE installation! Install GFWL and runtime.
STEP 2) GFWL
(RENAME YOUR FOLDERS TO "GTAIV 1" OR ANYTHING ELSE)
1 ~ Steam auto-verifies the file integrity sometimes, ruining your downgrade, so renaming your folders is recommended, and don't launch through steam.
2 ~ Once IV is open, press HOME to open GFWL UI.
3 ~ Sign in with your Microsoft/XBOX account. (PASSWORD MUST BE FEWER THAN 15 CHARACTERS. 2FA MUST BE DISABLED.)
4 ~ Assuming you've logged in, you should see GTA IV and EFLC able to be played, this is about it!
STEP 3) NOTES
If your game crashes in single-player, please install THIS radio downgrader, install is pretty simple.
Doing so will allow you to gain access to multiplayer AND earn achievements with no external clients.
