The following instructions only apply to a default GTAIV: Complete Edition directory.
It includes every Episode in one directory so you will be able to switch between Episodes and join any Server without issues
If you're using a modded directory, don't expect GTA Connected to function without crashes.
Install Instructions
- Download the patch for either 1.0.8.0 or 1.0.7.0. (1.0.8.0 is recommended)
- Unzip it, it should make a folder called
Retail. - Drag the Retail folder into your GTAIV Directory. Don't move the files out of the folder! Just move the whole folder itself.
- Open the GTA Connected launcher and select Tools > Game Settings. Choose Grand Theft Auto IV from the Game dropdown list.
- Next to "Game EXE Path", click the Browse button to set the path for the exe to GTAIV.exe inside the new Retail folder in your GTAIV directory:
Default Steam Path: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV\Retail\GTAIV.exe
- Select Tools > Launcher Settings and type a Name for yourself
- Double-click on a Server to connect to it
How To Join Lobbies
- Press UP key to bring up phone
- Go down and press Multiplayer > Games
- Press Custom Match to see any active lobbies. Join by double-clicking Lobby (if double-click doesn't work, press DOWN and ENTER)
- If you know what Lobby is currently being played (e.g. through holding TAB if the server includes v-scoreboard), you can directly connect to a Lobby through QuickMatch on the phone
Note
- If you've followed these instructions correctly, the original files should be intact and unmodified. This means Steam/Rockstar Launcher won't force the files to be reverted, and you can play GTAIV: Complete Edition on GTA Connected and also play the normal GTAIV: Complete Edition through Steam/Rockstar Launcher
