After a short time after I installed GTA4 for the first time something happened and I could go to only one host. No one could see me if I host. It lasted a very long time. After I reinstalled the system and I got GTA4 online, where other players (as I call it "parallel world"), I couldn't see my friends.
After I made a static IP (done on the advice of the forum GTA4) and another version of the game. The problem went away. But those players that were in the recent players from the "parallel world" could not come to me, and I couldn't even go to them by invitation.
Now I think it depended on the patch. On the CD version was a different patch.

GTA IV & V seem to really like static ip, by calling your isp you can make a request for static ip and open the game ports required as well, they should be able to do this..

Static IP is indeed important, make sure your NAT type is open in GFWL settings in game. If it's moderate or strict you will experience connectivity issues with other players.
As far as patches are concerned, you just need to have the latest (1.0.7.0 EN or 1.0.6.1 RU), no matter if it's Steam or DVD.

But what can block Marvel and Russian Driver in one race? Problems can be and with other players too.

NAT is now permanently - "Free to play" Long ago NAT was "moderate" problems with joining was not. Patch installed - 1.0.6.1 Ru |

"marvel
Omg 3G xD I have 100 Mbit cable network."
Yes Marv,my 3G Internet for multiplayer is very bad.
Sometimes in the race there is a delay about 1.5-2 seconds,the result of a loss of position,because other players are moving forward.
In modes with weapon,loss,perhaps only 50% reach the goal!
(With the joining no problem).
"marvel
Maybe u are to slow for me xD .. no joke.." I don't quite understand the meaning of this joke,brother Marv.
Hm,Yes Marv! I have slow Internet,Yes there is a delay in the race,Yes a very weak computer. But that is no reason to draw conclusions prematurely.
Because as we all know - The coin has two sides!

Some players will not be able to enter along with him into the race. Russian Driver often host. There were no problems. I would like to resolve this issue before the event. Have any suggestions? We can something to try. |

Internet via the 3G modem is actually a problem, including because of high ping and bad signal. Unfortunately this is sometimes the only way to be online in the game. Wired Internet,the modern computer gives an advantage (better graphics, better visibility, higher fps, stability) - with equal skill players can be decisive.

The game doesn't run? or problems with the social club? or what we discussed above? If the game does not start,then most likely it's in the system. If the problems with the social club,read our posts in the topic - "Do you still got GTA IV installed and running?" |

hello russian, Well the game running fine and i can connect to Social club without issues. but when ingame Games for windows live ask me sign in, try to download my profile and it says : Could not connect to LIVE. Either your internet connection is having problems or the Windows LIVE servers are down. Pretty much like this : forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2636019So i read this forum and numerous other webpage So far i can say : - I run on Windows 7, legit and updated, system requirement are way enough. - my gta game is the retail version of complete edition (no steam) - no connection problem with social club. - i can play the game with a offline gfwl account - i also can't connect to the gfwl client itself, but my microsoft account (live, messenger,xbox...) is ok and without problems - the game is updated, i instaled the latest gfwl client and each of its component manualy I noticed few things strange, - the game didn't ask me for the product key (but i'm think this part is later in the process) - when the errors occurs, the network status tab displays : Internet IP : not connected and UPnP : not connected ; the others parametres seems ok So far i tried : - turn on, turn off, reset firewall - Change my microsoft account password, (no special caracters in pass or ID) - reset internet box, resetting my network configuration, change MTU values... I'm plugged in ethernet - disable the two-step security of the microsoft account. - lots of things and tricks that didn't work i don't remember everything lol If you have any suggestions... |

First off, did you undo all those changes you tried that didn't work?
I would suggest a clean game & gfwl install, rename "paul.dll"file in IV folder to "naud.dll"and launch the game ONLY from launchGTAIV.exe as an admin. Hope it helps.

hello lob, i didn't change back everything i do because it didn't affect either my system and my game and it clearly not related to the problem then. Also just tried to rename the dll and run as admin, but didn't help. I reinstalled the game and gflw like 3 times today and yesterday, my pc was format and clean reinstal in the last 3 month, then i've immerse it in bleach and ask a priest to bless it. Guarantee no viruses or bacteriums  Thanks for the help anyways, lol it seems doomed for me.... |

"If you are experiencing firewall issues when connecting to LIVE, be sure to have the following ports available:
UDP 88
UDP 3074
TCP 3074
If you are experiencing issues connecting while performing Product Activation, be sure you have the following port open:
UDP and TCP 443"
Some routers you have to set the TCP ports separate from the UDP while others you can tell it do both.
Have you tried this?

Have you not been in GTV8 before or is it for the first time?
