It happens even with regular D3D under the right conditions. What you're describing and looking at it simply what happens when game isn't in focus. I've managed to record an apitrace eventually: Log files I followed the instructions posted on Wiki, don't know what else I can do to obtain an apitrace file. And yes, I've reinstalled Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, both x86 and 圆4 versions. It says MSVCP140D.dll, VCRUNTIME140D.dll and UCRTBASED.DLL are not found. Unfortunately I cannot generate apitrace. DXVK version: Latest from Actions (branch master) ->.Game: Grand Theft Auto IV: The Complete Edition v1.2.0.43.It's easy to figure out when the game decides to stop given that it takes way more time than regular loading screen. Usually loading screens take a few seconds, like 3-5 seconds, but when the game decides to crash/freeze, it will stay longer, like ~10 seconds. PC Gamer noted that expiring song licensing agreements could have been to blame (they caused a similar problem for Vice City back in 2012), while others guessed that Rockstar could have been preparing to sell the game exclusively through its own launcher.GTA IV runs smoothly with DXVK, but sometimes it will crash/freeze after going on a mission, during the loading screen. The Batman: Arkham games did so that year along with BioShock 2, while Bandai Namco allowed Dark Souls players to transfer their characters and save data to Steam as part of its process in 2014.īefore Rockstar confirmed that GFWL was to blame for GTAIV’s disappearance from Steam, there was some fun speculation to be had as to why it has happened.
Rockstar isn’t the first company to have had to rip GFWL out of one of its games, but most other companies started the process in 2013 when it became clear Microsoft was moving on from the service. Although the game has continued to work, there are multiple forum posts and guides on the game’s Steam community page that explain how to overcome the hiccups the situation has created. Microsoft started winding down its PC gaming platform in 2013 with the closure of the Games for Windows Live store, but Rockstar has never fully patched the service out of its game. GTAIV’s use of the Games for Windows Live platform has been causing issues for a little while now. “It is no longer possible to generate the additional keys needed to continue selling the current version of the game”
