Is there an auto-save u could use as backup or a earlier save game?
 
I had this happen to me playing through Vice City years ago. Completely lost all progress. These days I always use 2 save slots rather than one, and alternate between them. Therefore if one corrupts, I've got another to fall back on.
 
for gta iv there is a car mod pack very good it is 2, It gives the cars proper logos BMW, Mecedes etc even motobikes helicopters boats and options to change your own body to what you like also teleporting to car jump sites and lots others,

pack is GTA EFLC MEGA CARS PACK by Hyper Speed.rar I and my mates played online every other night with it.

ps enjoy :-)
 
I got this in the sale too but where I'm having a problem is trying to connect with a mate on the multiplayer!?!?!

We keep getting the message "Unable to connect to game session"!?!?! :confused:

Anyone got any suggestions?? (sorry to hijack the thread btw! :p)

google GTAIV save files, some of them are normally 50% or 100%

well that's no fun, I wanna actually play it :) not just drive around ;)

I noticed yesterday that the names of my corrupt saves have changed into filepaths instead of mission names, cant figure a way to fix it tho since any googling just brings up those 100% save pages :(
 
luckily i have already completed this 3 times on the copied version (which works perfectly!) im only playing through again for the achievements really (sad i know) :p so don't really want the keep starting again and don't want a ready complete save as some of the missions are needed :(
at least online work fine for me, StevieP theres a big 'checklist' of thing todo before you can play online (thanks rockstar!!!) update the game to latest patch, update live and rockstar social to latest, update framework and C++ redist thing... i think theres more you'll need to google for it, good luck! :p

Well I'm running it on Steam so I assume everything is updated automatically - its just really frustrating when I (and my mate) can connect to other online games but when we try a game together, the invited one simply cant join!!!! :confused:

I've not had this problem with my steam copy. Got quite frustrated with what i think is the last mission (go from boat to helicopter) as the copter is impossible to control properly with the keyboard.

I've got a joystick but it doesn't recognise it, only giving me options to change the layout of a 360 pad:confused:
(joystick is a saitek cyborg evo force btw).

ah ok, steam should have done this for you, but you need to verify your cache too because when i did it after installing this game it found over 100 files were bad and needed replacing! (nothing to do with my save issue, did this before playing)
 
ok new problem, i tryed to reinstall but now gta is gone from the list!!! so i cant reinstall/play the game at all now!
have tryed deleting the blob files but its still missing, after a pc restart it appears in the list but then dissappears after about 5 seconds and i cant click it before it does go :(

Odd, check your hard drive isn't screwing things up. Run a hard drive test, and if you haven't got a backup of important stuff, do it now. I'm only saying HDD failure is a possibility, one of many.
 
I gave up on mine. My specs are fine but it stutters like crazy, and sometimes randomly crashes. Bit dissapointing really seeing as it worked fine on console.
