Restoring GTA IV Save Game
Hello everyone,
I followed this set of instructions -
I've copied all the files required, and then attempted to paste them in the folders they belonged in.Vista Guide
1. First you need to back up two folders, the first folder is your Rockstar games folder (which contains the save games) and the second folder is your xlive folder which contains ... well god knows but you need it anyway.
2. You can find your Rockstar folder here C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games <- copy that folder somewhere safe.
3. You can find your xlive folder here C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XLive <- again back up that folder.
4. After you have formatted and reinstalled the game simply copy those folders back to where they should be overwriting the folders that are there.
5. Now run the game and press "HOME" in-game to sign-in from XLive. Choose your old nick when signing-in. Don't make new account or your save file won't load.
6. After signing-in, play the game and it will load your save file automatically.

Unfortunately for me, everytime I booted the game up it would load a new game. Can anyone suggest a solution for me, please? I really desperate to get my save game back. Oh yer, I'm running on Windows 7 Ultimate
