This one’s been accruing a fat stack of negative reviews for years thanks to issues with Microsoft’s now-discontinued (but still built into GTA IV) Games for Windows Live system. According to a stickied thread on the game’s Steam forums, manually installing Games for Windows Live often helps. Rockstar’s Social Club apparently also poses serious start-up issues, again requiring a manual update. Usually doing those things solves the problem, but Rockstar has not provided that information in any obvious place. The sentiment across the board is pretty similar: GTA IV is a great game, but the Steam version is a hassle to get up and running, if you can get it up and running at all. Even then, it suffers from performance issues on Windows 10.
Somewhere beneath all the side effects, which include rampant neck and ass pain, is a playable port of a great game. But accessing it is so difficult that many people believe it’s broken. That’s clear from the reviews, with the percentage of positive takes rapidly dwindling. It sucks that developers like Rockstar aren’t stepping in to solve the problem, but this happens more and more with older games. Recent reviews, sadly, don’t reflect the full scope of what’s going on here, nor do they reflect what can be done.
