Purchase a legitimate copy, what you're experiencing is Grand Theft Auto IV's awesome anti-piracy system.

When you uninstall the game, you are given the option to revoke the license for that computer. This is a necessary step before you allow someone else to try and play the game using your serial.

Your friend would need to have done that for you to be able play using his copy without any problems. Otherwise, when the game connects to LIVE, it sees that the serial is licensed to his PC, not yours, and you get to experience all the fun stuff R* put in there for pirates.

Sounds like you are either A: Pirating B: Got it from someone who didn't revoke it from there computer.

You're experiencing the CIassic symptoms of GTA 4 piracy. Pirates have that problem (or so people say, i haven't heard of any such problem.)

OH RIGHT!!! The key thing!! Pirates can create key generators and they go into the system logged as legitimate! Once the key is used there is no way to get another one unless you use another key generator!! It is illegal, but if you say that you paid full price for it you can give it a try, don't say I didn't warn you though...

I bought this game when it was new, I havent played it much since I had to work 7 months overnight. Though your opinion about the matter doesnt matter, it doesnt solve the problem. Please if you dont have anything useful to say bring it to another topic.

BTW I have a cd key on my user manual I dont need another. Rockstar better fix this or I will bring he11 upon their customer support though so far I have gotten nowhere.

Wait he did not actually buy it? :shock: Anyway if he did buy it then i share his pain, if he didnt, then i envy him and wish i had not bought it either. I payed 37 bucks for it and i regret it. I should wait longer for the price to go down.....about 15 bucks id say, that much the pc version worths for me.

It's not ROCKSTAR'S FAULT!!! I just told you that Pirates replicate and emulate serial key's that can be used multiple times, but only by cracked game data. Legit game data will not recognize the already pirated key and be rejected from authentication, so.... when you play the game the anti piracy system kicks in. You get it?

OK though still Im not beat for my money, I need to know how I can fix this so it wont keep happening. Rockstars customer support doesnt say anything about the matter and I cant find a number anywhere. Do they any live customer support either by email, chatroom or phone number?
