Well, what can I say? I can't even play the game because of Social Club. Selecting the option to play offline does nothing either. Once you click it, nothing happens. I'm not sure why this is happening. Even launching the game from its local files doesn't work. Apparently, this is a known issue that's existed for a few years now. I wonder why its never been fixed though? I highly recommend against buying GTA IV over Steam. Trust me, it isn't worth losing your money over. Now I know how that feels...

*UPDATE 6/1/15* In order to get the game to work, you need to download the X Liveless mod, which disables the need and use of online functions (Social Club, Windows Live). However, because Rockstar shut down their servers for GTA IV 2 years ago, that shouldn't be a problem. My stance on buying the game is unchanged, however. Players shouldn't have to download third-party content just to get the game to work properly. If you're looking for a clean, working install of GTA IV, I suggest buying this game separately (from Amazon, etc.).
