Ive been trying to find the savegames in my computer but as it was posted on another thread that they should be in YOUR NAME\My Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames\, i checked, but in the folder GTA IV, there is no folder called savegames (only user music and videos)
there's a bug on "four leaf clover" as soon as i get to the money the loading screen pops up and never disappears so i was hoping to have someone do a SnP for me, but i need to find my savegame first :x
help?

If you have xliveless installed, the save games will be located here:

Windows XP SP3: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames
Windows Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames
Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames

Besides, if they're not there, click start --> Search --> All files and folders and type in SGTA40. You should find them.

I have blade's asi loader instead of xliveless, do i have to remove that first?

[miromiro]

Yeah, remove that since xliveless is an asi loader as well. Simply put the xlive.dll in the main game directory.

[avanizia]

theres no folder called app data

[miromiro]

As I said, if they're not there, click start --> Search --> All files and folders and type in SGTA40. You should find them.

[avanizia]

i tried that already, no results.

[miromiro]

Okay, let's take it step by step. First, do you have any mods installed? Where have you got the game from?
First, delete the Scripthook and that means to delete the file that contains an .asi file in the game directory. Install xliveless and search in one of these locations (you haven't told me what OS you have, so choose the one you use):

Windows XP SP3: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames
Windows Vista: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames
Windows 7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames

About searching for the SGTA40, are you sure you've searched in the disk drive C:?

EDIT: Besides, I think the AppData folder is hidden, that's why you can't find it. How to unhide folders:
Vista: Start --> User --> Control Panel --> Appearance and Personalization --> Folder Options --> Show Hidden files and Folders.
XP: Start --> Control Panel --> Folder Options --> View --> Show Hidden Files and folders

Searched for SGTA40, not found in C:, or anywhere else

what am i doing wrong?

[miromiro]

The AppData might be hidden, that's why you can't find it. How to un-hide folders:
Vista: Start --> User --> Control Panel --> Appearance and Personalization --> Folder Options --> Show Hidden files and Folders.
XP: Start --> Control Panel --> Folder Options --> View --> Show Hidden Files and folders

You're welcome, glad to help.

[avanizia]

loading failed. please check your hard drive and try again.
WHY. :X

[miromiro]

Do you have xliveless installed? If yes, have you tried without it? I'm not sure what could be the cause, but if none of the suggestions worked, try installing Patch #4 - I remember to have had a similar issue some weeks ago, and I couldn't find anything that would help but this patch.

[avanizia]

I already have that patch installed
tried without xliveless, no luck.

[miromiro]

Have you backed-up the Xlive folder too? It is required to do so, and also have xliveless installed.
Vista / 7: C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive
XP: C:\documents and settings\<username>\Local Settings\Applicationdata\Microsoft\XLive

If it still won't work, you should maybe re-install the blade.asi loader you had before.
