I got GTA4 and GFWL keeps crashing it
GhostOfBetaTapes:
I know this is a problem a lot of people are having, but I tried everything I could find on the internet and It wouldn't stop.
Before I go any further, not Warez'd. Bought from Steam.
The game opens fine, waits a few seconds, goes into the second intro screen (just the words) then I see the gfwl pane start to appear, and then the game crashes.
I've looked it up, installed the newest GFWL, reinstalled .NET 3.5, installed Windows Live Essentials, and nothing worked. So instead of searching even deeper, I'm asking you guys, because hopefully some of you have had this problem and fixed it.
Riot:
I had problems like this mainly because I haven't updated my drives for years.
I suggest you wait for a more experienced member though.
Shocklink:
Can you even run it?

This computer has an i7 920 at 3.4GHz with a GTX 480 and a GTS 250 for PhysX. So yes.
The game opens and plays correctly one out of about seven times I try. And there's no pattern for it opening, except that it seems to work only when the GFWL pane starts to open a second after the second copyright slide comes up. Otherwise it opens during the first one or really late. I reinstalled GFWL again, and it worked the first time I opened it after that, but then it stopped working again.
Mr.Patrick:
since it sometimes works could it be something you open up and don't close down properly?
