NOT ABLE TO PLAY GTA4 PC ONLINE

right after i switched from XP to WIN 7 ULTIMATE 64BIT

Not able to Sign in on GAMES FOR WINDOWS LIVE

( when i log in it says Downloading profile after 10-20 seconds it says Problem with my connection or Winfirewall interfering, & when i look in Details :
IP ADDRESS NOT SIGNED IN
UPnP : NOT SIGNED IN

searched all the possibilities,but still no luck ! forwarded all the ports, even set my MTU to 1500 & that lousy customer support is totally waste
Most of all is GAMES FOR WINDOWS LIVE SUPPORTED BY WINDOWS 7 ?
Please somebody here help me !
Thnx in Advance .

Hi hector17 welcome to the forums.
ok, lets review the problem shall we.

You said that the game worked before on xp right? if it so, then is not a blocked port on your router.
Can you uninstall GFWL and GFWL redistributable from your computer and then install the latest version from here.
Make sure your game is up-to-date too latest patch from here.
Check if this rules are enabled (green check) in your firewall:

C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\LaunchGTAIV.exe (UDP)
C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\LaunchGTAIV.exe (TCP)
C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\gtaiv.exe (UDP)
C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto IV\gtaiv.exe (TCP)
C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Rockstar Games Social Club\RGSCLauncher.exe (UDP)
C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Rockstar Games Social Club\RGSCLauncher.exe (TCP)

Note: this is the default installation folder, if you installed the game in other directory just put the full directory before the bold lines.

You can check this tutorial to learn how to add or remove an exception in windows firewall.

If this can solve the problem please let me know.

Sure there u go.

As you can see the UDP and TCP values are under protocol column, for more information about how to add or remove exceptions to windows firewall please take a look at this tutorial.

If that doesn't help either please let me know ok.

hector17 · Dec 6, 2009

Thanks for the reply mate

i did as u said, but no luck

Any other alternative ? PLEASE !

Rjck · Dec 6, 2009

Ok lets try this.

Go to Control Panel and then go to Credential Manager. (if you can see it press the "view by" button and select large icons)
Under Generic Credentials just push the down button and then select remove from vault.
Do this till it says "No Generic Credentials".
Launch GTA4 and at the start menu press the "Home key".
Now put your account user name and password.

Let me know if now you can connect to LIVE or not.

hector17 · Dec 7, 2009

Thanks

But even the credentials tweak failed

Am still not able to log in

Coolness · Dec 7, 2009

So, go to your Anti virus/ firewall if there the same. There should be a "allow a program through" or something like that. if youre using the windows firewall, it can be found in the control panel ---> system and security. Anyway, then find the .exe of the game and allow it. Also find the "games for windows live" .exe and allow that one too. Its should work now.

Hi hector17,

Please DO NOT keep bumping your threads.

Rjck · Dec 7, 2009

Lets see if this Help:

Uninstall GFWL and GFWL redistributable. (Yes again)
Go to C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Microsoft and delete the Xlive folder. (If you cant see the AppData folder go to this tutorial to learn more about)
After restarting, reinstall GFWL, you can find the latest version here.
Now launch GTA and see if that work.

Just a question how's your PC is connected to internet? directly or through a network?

Mastah Jay · Dec 7, 2009

I have the same issue in Gears of War (PC). None of the above solutions worked for me :/ Still getting 'Not signed in' in Internet IP and UPnP fields, and cannot connect to LIVE still. I tried it in my backup XP partition and it works even without newest GfW L software...

hector17 · Dec 9, 2009

Dude my pc is connected directly am not using a wireless ! & also i changed my service provider 3 months back & since then am facing this problem

help me mate !

Coolness · Dec 9, 2009

What he means is, do you have modem or does the ethernet cable go straight to the wall?
Also try my fix on page 1 please. let me know.

Rjck · Dec 9, 2009

Don't worry m8 we are here to help.

What I want to know now is if your PC is in a home network, let me explain
in my case my brother and me share the internet connection his computer(XP) got the internet and mine(Seven) is just connected to his pc trough a ethernet cable. If this is your case let me know it and I explain what you need to do.

If not, try resetting the modem (turn off/on)?

One more question did you upgrade to Seven or is it a fresh installation?

hector17 · Dec 10, 2009

got it mate

Nope, am the only one using the connection & its not shared

& it is connected to a modem thats it

& one more thing : u knw like before when i used to play GTA4 online, i was using a diffrenet service provider, but now its changed could this be the problem ? in point of the PORTS ?

Rjck · Dec 10, 2009

Maybe, but in any case u could try to call your internet provider and ask them.

be sure to have the following ports available.
TCP-Ports 80 , 88 , 443 ,3074.
UDP-Ports 80, 88, 443 , 3074.

btw, I was looking for some extra help and found this page hope it helps.

Best of wishes.

have you tried to disable your antivirus and firewall and launch GTA?
if that doesn't help make sure to re-enable them before using your web browser.

One more question did you upgrade to Windows 7 or its a fresh installation?.
