The following instructions only apply to a Default GTAIV: The Complete Edition Directory, since 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 *DOWNGRADED (e.g. ClonkAndre's Downgrader)* or Modded Directory, don't expect GTA Connected to function without crashes.


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 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 on GTA Connected and also play the original GTAIV through Steam/Rockstar Launcher
