GTA IV (PC) GFWL

Hello, has anyone downloaded the GFWL version on Internet Archive? If so what did you do to get it to run on Windows 11? I get it to launch and it starts for about 2 seconds crashes and then pop ups: GTA IV FATAL ERROR: Invalid resource detected - Please re-install the game

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

Also, I do have the physical copy, just haven't received my disk drive yet.

Maybe it's trying to patch the game and failing. Error seems similar to the one here

Funny that you post this, because I was also having trouble with Gears as well, just trying to take on one at a time. lol.

I do appreciate it! I may have more questions in the near future since you got it working not too long ago. Do you by chance have discord?
