Launcher#
Let's say you have an instance for your modded version of GTA IV and an instance for the slightly modded GFWL version. Gets annoying to switch between folders, doesn't it? ItsClockAndre's launcher comes to the rescue!
Compatibility
This launcher is theoretically compatible with the Complete Edition instances, but it's very problematic. You have to start the instance first, then once the Rockstar Games Launcher is open, close the IV Launcher and click Play on Steam
, which will open the launcher again - from there, start the instance again without closing the Rockstar Games Launcher, and that should get you into the game.
Installation#
- Go to the GTAForums page.
- Download latest version. Read the notes on the page.
- Extract
GTAIVLauncher_vx.x.zip

How to launch the launcher with Steam
