Iv now found out that Dirt 2 crashes when minimizing to windowed mode at any time i choose using alt+enter, so its a problem with the game on win8 64bit and not the xlive emu as Dirt 3 is fine.

PC SPECS -

More notes for devs. GTA4 uses XOVERLAPPED hEvent = hangs, crashes on exit.

I do this for any async operation before returning ERROR_IO_PENDING. Seems to work here.



On other, fixed memory leak with PBufferFree. Some games = heavy leaks (GTA4, S8). PBuffer now uses magic ID tags to know when to release heap memory or not. Before release last created PBuffer only. (oops)

xlive 15g
- DLC compatibility hack (GTA IV)
- Improved notification system (GTA IV)
- Fixed PBufferFree memory leaks (GTA IV, Section
- Fixed XOVERLAPPED event handling (GTA IV)

- changed ini format
- global c:\xlive.ini option



Minor GFWL finds:
http://download.xbox.com/content/545408 ... nifest.cab Minerva's Den
http://download.xbox.com/content/545408 ... nifest.cab The Lost and Damned
http://download.xbox.com/content/545408 ... nifest.cab The Ballad of Gay Tony
(these are secured in GFWL servers using marketplace app; unknown way to directly get them)


New patch format:

=======================================================
=======================================================
=======================================================

And the GTA IV DLC unlocker tool.


Features:
- Remove GFWL memory protection
- Remove save integrity checks
- Remove DFA blacklist
- Remove certificate checks

- Activate DLC flags
- Remove DLC first-time play notice


Options:
- Remove DLC selection screen (base game installed only)
- Remove web checks

- Enable asi loader
- Dump SDFA files


v1a
- Fix asi loading in scripts folder
- Change injection point to work with other mods



You'll need this to run your GTA IV DLCs. But you will need to decrypt your SDFA files first using tool - do this while GFWL servers are still running!

I'm also told during development testing that it is possible to run the SDFA packages with xliveless, if you manage to somehow cache your SecuROM data correctly.

I do not know how much work it will take to backport your EFLC files to IV DLC.


So the unified "complete edition" is now possible.

nice work as usual catspaw!!
the GTAIV DLC unlocker and new xlive.dll are working great.. now we have the REAL GTAIV Complete Edition.. instead of needing 2 games(plus we save 10GB of duplicate files and wasted HDD space!!)
thanks again!!!

Here's a sfv of working files from <exe>. If you already have decrypted files, match them to sfv.


If you have original SDFA, place the files in <exe>\DLC. Set ini option to "dump sdfa = 1". Run original game with 1911 launcher. It will decrypt files into sdfaDump. Quit game.

Copy new files to DLC folder. Play.

Now i understand it thanks.

Damn, son, amazing work @catspaw
Thank you!

I just don't get how to get the 2 DLC.
Any guide or links to them?

I downloaded both of those files and the links to the CAB are in the XML, but, as you said, they can't be downloaded from there.

Changed gta4 unlocker to 1a:
- Fix asi loading in <exe>\scripts folder
- Change injection to be friendly with other mods (ex. dsound.dll asi loader)
- Add ini comments


(see few posts back)

Thank you for your hard work, but I'm having some problems... I don't understand what should I do to play the DLCs (that I've purchased through Steam) through GTA IV.

Thanks again, and sorry if it's a dumb question...


also, dinput8 is used by x360ce. Is there a way to change the name?

what version of x360ce are you using??..
maybe you should get a newer version that doesnt require that file?

as for playing the DLC, get the torrent gregja posted, its complete and ready to add to GTA4 base game!!!

Is there a way to use my folders? Because that .torrent is kinda slow. Thanks.

hmm, just tried this torrent: 9,5 megabytes/sec (~ 76 megabits/sec). Probably depends on your network configuration and global location.
However, sure someone will create an alternate repository, anyone can do it (of course, with latest version of dinput8.dll included)...
