i recently started replaying this game after updating to 1.0.3.0 patch. i found a tool called 'xliveless' from gtaforum:
http://www.gtaforums.com/index.php?showtopic=388658
it disables RGSC (rockstar social club)! i used to dread playing GTA IV because i have to login/launch the RGSC every time. now when i run GTA IV, it starts the game directly. i love the mod community.
it also disables file check (mod) and save file check (load any save file). there're more detailed info about the mod in the above link.

xliveless has been mentioned before in this thread mate. The only problem i have with using it, is, you wont get any achievements.

Don't know why it is so shitty?
-Better framerate than consoles (if you have a decent rig)
-Better resolutions than consoles
-Better control scheme (if I want to shoot someone in the eyeball, I shoot them in the eyeball)
-Shorter load times

There's also a lot of mods, 1.3.0 also removed the file check on most files aside from MP ones to try to limit hacks/cheats but that didn't work as ASI stuff still loads and there are loaders that work with MP so script hacks are still possible.
Everything from unofficial patches to car tweaks and proper decals/names to gameplay addons suh as bank robbing and prison breaks to texture and performance tweaks or even improved visual quality.
(There's a ton of retextures by now.)

You are mostly correct but PC version has bad z-fighting issues. Very noticeable when flying a heli.

Still a lot of stability, performance and graphical bugs, on both nV and AMD hardware. Performance tweaks can't do magic, they just remove features to make the game run a bit faster.

This, among other stuff. Until Rockstar fixes these bugs, it is still categorized as shitty.

Grand Theft Auto : The Ballad of Gay Tony
Quote: | Yes, this is the logo for Rockstar’s next Grand Theft Auto IV expansion pack on Xbox 360. No, Rockstar is not yet done courting controversy.
Grand Theft Auto: The Ballad of Gay Tony will cast you not as the title character, a “legendary nightclub impresario.” Instead, you’ll play Luis Lopez, his assistant slash hired goon.
To be fair, Rockstar’s announcement on Tuesday stopped short of explicitly specifying whether Tony got his nickname because he is gay as in “jovial,” or gay as in “his name is written in a variety of sparkly rainbow colors.”
We’ll all find out together when we meet Tony this fall. Rockstar says the expansion pack will be downloadable for $20, or available on a retail disc in combination with The Lost and Damned for $40. You won’t need to own the original GTA4 if you buy the disc.

I hope they eventually get round to porting these over for PC.

Are you using xliveless ? Check your game folder for a xlive.dll file and rename it.

thanks beck, i see tweakguides doesnt have an article about this game.
Do you have any good resources for editing that .dat file where they compare impact on performance and IQ ?

Hey guys, I'm wondering if you can help me out with something.
Well basically I bought a legit cd-key off my friend, and I'm truly hoping I'll be able to play online without the disc. Can anyone please tell me how to do this?
I installed GTA4, then installed the 1.3.0 patch and then the razor crack...but it seems to have the xlive.dll so LIVE doesn't load when you start the game.
Now, I tried renaming the xlive.dll but it just gives an error saying 'Invalid resource detected'.
Can someone help me out on what I should do to get it to work so I can play MP? Maybe a different crack, or a way to mount the DVD so it thinks it's the original?
Thanks in advance.

Yeah, found a mini-image and it works now (with YASU).
So, can I play any game with LIVE now without needing a cd-key?

You will have to enter your LIVE key everytime you install a LIVE game.
