Mar 12, 2019 Hello, I just want to ask how to downgrade Grand Theft Auto IV 1.0.8.0 to 1.0.4.0. I got the game from steam along with other Grand Theft Auto Titles - Im currently using Windows 10 Pro I have installed mods before but some of the mods were not working in 1.0.7.0, I have read a thread on this f. Rockstar has released Patch 4 for GTA 4 which brings the game to version 1.0.4.0. According to the readme file the only thing changed is: 'Resource management adjustments based on the operating.

Step 1:
Perform a fresh installation of the game, then launch the game and reach the main menu to finish the installation. Then, exit the game from the main menu.
Step 2:
Make sure to show hidden folders and files. How to: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/show-hidden-files-and-folders-in-windows-vista/
Delete everything in (X:Users(...)DocumentsRockstar GamesGTA IV).
Delete everything in (X:Users(...)AppDataLocalRockstar GamesGTA IV).
Step 3:
If using Steam, enter your Steam Library, right click on Grand Theft Auto IV or Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition, click 'Properties', click the 'Updates' tab at the top, set 'Automatic updates' to 'Only update this game when I launch it', select 'CLOSE' at the bottom of the page.

Step 4:
Download the 1.0.4.0 patch from the following link, then install it: http://www.speedrun.com/patches/GTAIV_MAINTENANCE_UPDATE_1040_EFIGS_eoztl.rar
¤If an error occurs during the installation, use the archive which contains the patch files. Merge the content of the archive with your GTAIV folder (X:(...)SteamSteamAppscommonGrand Theft Auto IVGTAIV) and overwrite everything. The archive can be downloaded here: http://www.speedrun.com/patches/Patch1040GTAIV_ybsnd.7z
Step 5:
Change the name of your 'GTAIV' folder: (X:(...)SteamSteamAppscommonGrand Theft Auto IVGTAIV) to something other than 'GTAIV'.
Step 6:
Download the 'Rockstar Social Group Tool' (RGSG). Download link: http://www.speedrun.com/patches/RGSC_1_1_3_0_zuzkl.rar
Step 7:
Install the RGSG-Tool that you downloaded in 'Step 5'. It creates a new 'GTAIV' folder with the Tools components in (X:(...)SteamSteamAppscommonGrand Theft Auto IV).
¤If an error occurs during the installation, use the archive which contains the RGSG-Tool. The archive contains a folder titled 'RGSG' and in that folder is the content which needs to be merged with your 'GTAIV' folder (the one you renamed to something other than 'GTAIV', that is, if you did any renaming, otherwise if the folder was never renamed, you'll be placing the content of the archive in 'GTAIV') (X:(...)SteamSteamAppscommonGrand Theft Auto IVGTAIV). The archive can be downloaded here: http://www.speedrun.com/patches/RGSG_3slmh.rar
Step 8:
Take all of the files in the newly created 'GTAIV' folder (the one created in 'Step 6') and copy them to the other folder that you renamed in 'Step 4'.
¤If an error occurred during the installation of the RGSG-Tool, you can skip this step because you've already manually installed the tool.
Step 9:
Now delete the 'GTAIV' folder and rename your old folder back to 'GTAIV'. The folder should still be in (X:(...)SteamSteamAppscommonGrand Theft Auto IV).
Step 10:
Download Xliveless here: http://www.speedrun.com/patches/xliveless-0.999b7_znjpn.rar
Step 11:
Open the xliveless archive and place the xlive.dll file in the 'GTAIV' folder located in (X:(...)SteamSteamAppscommonGrand Theft Auto IVGTAIV). Be sure to run LaunchGTAIV.exe instead GTAIV.exe to prevent 'drunk' camera, when using Xliveless.
Step 12:
Download this 'fonts.zip' from: http://www.speedrun.com/patches/fonts_zjr9b.zip (this is needed because certain menu text is no longer visible when using xliveless)
Step 13:
Copy both files in 'fonts.zip' ('fonts.dat' & 'fonts_r.dat') and paste them in (X:(...)SteamSteamAppscommonGrand Theft Auto IVGTAIVcommondata), overwriting the existing files of the same name.
Step 14:
Navigate to (X:(...)SteamSteamAppscommonGrand Theft Auto IVGTAIV). Right click on 'LaunchGTAIV.exe', click or hover over 'Send to' and click 'Desktop (create shortcut)'. You will want to use this shortcut to launch your game from here on out.

Step 15:
Right click on this newly created shortcut on your desktop. Click 'Properties' at the bottom. Within the 'Shortcut' tab, add the following to the 'Target' field: '-noprecache -nomemrestrict -norestrictions'. These are launch options and it's important that you include these to avoid issues. The target field should look exactly like the following, where the 'X' is whatever your drive letter is ('X:Program Files (x86)SteamsteamappscommonGrand Theft Auto IVGTAIVLaunchGTAIV.exe' -noprecache -nomemrestrict -norestrictions). Don't include the parentheses, but do include the quotation marks!
Click OK at the bottom of the 'Properties' menu.
Step 16:
Always use this shortcut to launch the game. You will get a window which mentions creating an Xbox account. Ignore everything here and just click 'Play' whenever this window appears. The game will launch.
Finished.
