Hey, guys. I've got a problem. I have installed GTA IV and added the Razor Crack, so I don't need to insert my disk every time. However, everything went good until I decided to install Icenhancer. Since then the crack doesn't start anymore. I installed Icenhancer like following: 1. fresh install of GTA IV (version 1.0.4.0) 2. installed crack (version 1.0.4.0) 3. Copied the files from "iCEnhancer 2.1 files" to GTA main directory. 4. Copied xlive.dll and xlive_d.dll to GTA main directory 5. Copied the configurator to GTA main directory 6. Tried to start the game. -> Not working (picture at end of page) 7. Copied the files from "optional presets" to main directory. 8. Tried to start the game. -> Not working (picture at end of page) 9. Copied crack over again. -> Still nothing Did I install everything correctly? (I'm not THAT much into computers :/ ) oh, and THIS is, what happens when I try to start the game: 1. This window opens: 2. The window closes and that's it. Please, someone help me! ~DopeMan

Hi there, I'm gonna help you a bit with the installation process and crack installation ect. 1. Fresh install of GTA IV 2. Install Patch 4 (Maintence Update 1.0.4.0) 3. Download this and copy & paste both files into your GTA IV directory. 4. Install iCEnhancer 2.1, copy all "main files" into the main GTA IV folder. 5. Copy & paste xlive.ddl & xlive_d.dll into the main GTA IV folder. 6. Start GTA IV through LaunchGTAIV.exe as admin.

Uh, I guess so Me, iCE himself + other popular modders are playing GTA IV with cracks since the beginning. I don't see why we shouldn't support it

Btw: Isn't that pretty much what I did? However, I will try to do as you told, but your link is down for violation. Guess I'll have to use my own razor crack again... ^^ Reporting back, when finished...

Part 3 was the crack i use... I need to know which version you're using. Try searching google or something, be sure to include your version you using too. I'll try to upload a working crack for your version then.

I use version 1.0.4.0, i have a crack for it which works perfectly without icenhancer mod
im installing as following: 1. fresh install of GTA4 ver 1.0.0.0 2. patch it to ver 1.0.4.0 3. install crack 4. Copy icenhancer 2.1 files to GTA main directory 5. Copy xlive.dll and xlive_d.dll to GTA main directory 6. when launching GTA IV through LaunchGTAIV.exe - problem same as TS had 7. installing crack again doesnt change anything
when i do that without p.4 GTA works ok
i tried installing GTA 1.0.7.0 with different crack and have the same issue: without icenhancer game works, with icenhancer it doesn't start. Checked every possible way to fix that i could think of: video drivers, microsoft c++ and framework, direct x, no MSI afterburner or avg soft

fixed it, apparently 1911.dll (part of razor crack) was causing all the trouble, works fine with another crack with no .dll

Hey mates. I'm using IV + 1.0.4.0 + Razor 1911 crack. I can enter the game and play normally (despite the fact that xliveless not allow me to use my savegame), but i'm facing some weird problems.
1) It's all dark, very dark. Only when the sun is at the top of the sky the game is normal.
2) The sky is green with some tracks, like an aurora borealis.
3) It seems that the sky and water are mixed, with no differences.
4) I do not see any of the effects shown in photos and videos of ICE.
What can be happening?
Thanks.
EDIT: I find out what was, d3d9.dll and 3 others files were not copied to GTA IV main folder, dont know why they weren't, since i threw all "v2.1" files in IV folder.
Now iCE works fine, even with MSI Afterburner, the mod info shows on left-upper corner when game starts, and is also very heavy, cut my fps in half.
But, i'm facing right now a problem much more annoying. After few minutes playing the game (1~2 minutes), the screen went black, the sound enters in loop, and 10 seconds after that my PC freezes and needs to be rebooted.
Any idea what can be making this happen?
Thanks.

Could you please tell me your PC specs please?
Close all background programs, including MSI Afterburner, incase some BG program is causing that issue.
Try lowering your In-game settings. You could try this too: Create a textfile called commandline and write this in the file: -noprecache -nomemrestrict -norestrictions -availablemem 2.5
Save the file & put it in your GTA IV root.

@dmc
Phenom II X4 925 stock Radeon HD6850 2x2GB RAM
I've made some test, and the problem that I mentioned in my last post happens with or without programs like MSI AB running on Background.
Lowering my in-game settings and iCE settings in control panel don't solve too.
One thing about the problem: It is 100% guaranteed to freeze my PC if I load the game in Roman apartament (south Broker), get down the stairs, turn right after door (facing South), steal an auto and turn right just ahead (facing West).

I suggest checking your temperature during playing then, you PC could be overheating...
Start GTAIV through LaunchGTAIV.exe as admin. That might solve it.
You don't have any other mods besides iCEnhancer installed, right?
