I did however run into an issue when launching the game where a login box for Rockstar Social Club would come up and have three options - Cancel - Play (offline) - Play - where the play option is greyed out and the social club status was showing as social club unavailable play offline or try again I recently tried to install the retail version of GTA IV on my laptop, install was fine, there is documented steps to get past the release date verification error (manually set system date to 2014). I struggled to find the correct information on this issue when searching Google so I will attempt to include as many search terms and keywords to allow anyone else with this issue to find this thread. If you have the EFLC disc as well you will need the Episodes from Liberty City patch on that same page to do the same thing ĭownload and install this and Social Club will no longer require a login and MP can be accessed. I eventually found a patch Grand Theft Auto IV Patch 8 Title Update at this link.
