I downloaded the lastest version of my ATI driver (8.11)
I tried to uninstall the game and reinstall it in safe mode
I tried to create a shortcut with this directory :"C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\LaunchGTAIV.exe" -norestrictions -nomemrestrict -novblank
I tried to create a shortcut with this directory : "C:\Program Files (x86)\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\LaunchGTAIV.exe" -windowed

[r4iNM4ker]

damn, I can't find any phone number for support from RockStar games

[r4iNM4ker]

The new ati driver 8.12 didnt worked for the crash

I got 52 fps now ...

[PharmacisT-]

its the memory leak wich will be fixed with the patch

[Oxytoe]

I sometimes get this crash aswell, its damn annoyin when uv been doin missions and didn't save and this bloody crash happens.

[r4iNM4ker]

The new patch didn't solve anything ...

I still get crashs every 10 min even if I got some good fps :

Yep, I just got this crash for the first time, maybe every now and again you need to save, quit, restart, continue. Crap, but will save losing missions.

Thanks for your help but the patch didn't solve the crashs ...

[r4iNM4ker]

I've try "securom bypassing cracks" but it didn't work for me ...

[Dweirdo]

crashed for me as well on 4870x2.

I had this problem but fixed it by uninstalling RivaTuner. No more GTAIV.exe errors. If you don't have RivaTuner you might want to see if any other third party software is conflicting. Turn it off or uninstall them.

i try running all the time it never works i try to fix it everyday but nothing works.

You realize this is a year and a quarter old topic, right?

@gtawerdo, that usually happens if you get the "special" version of the game. Just buy it; like Stooopid said, it's only like $10.
