Be cautious when trying this method.Īnother method of getting this game to work is to install the Games for Windows Live Marketplace. No joking there.īefore reading up on this method: Due to the new patch, I can't confirm that this either works or doesn't work at all. If any of those files has replaced a critical game file, then re-install the game. That said, if you have OTHER mods that aren't the ASI loader that are crashing your game, it's best to look to see what those files are (by either re-downloading the zip/whatever files they came in and/or extracting them again if you still have it) and delete them. Have no worries about deleting this, as the ASI loader does not replace any actual game files. The file you're looking for is called dsound.dll. Since this is about the Steam version in specific, the root folder should be found in:Ĭ:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV if you have a 64 bit system, or C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto IV\GTAIV if you have a 32 bit system. The first step to remove the mod framework is to go to the game's root folder. If you have mods installed, or just installed a mod, and forgot what files to delete, then fear not!

That said, though, don't expect the mods to, well.


This means that trying to run the game with mods AND the framework will crash the game (from experience, running the game with just the files for the mod you want to install has a chance of not crashing your game. Due to the recent patch by Rockstar for both GTA IV and EFLC (Episodes from Liberty City), the mod framework (or, all ASI loaders in general, if you have any previous knowledge of GTA modding) is outdated and will no longer work.
