They stay in the game and can continue free roaming. There are also cutscenes that basically play in the world, the second player can then interrupt them leading to some hilarious cutscenes
@@KatWithCigarette Oh so they couldn't be watched with the other person? Hmm. Is the mod still in active development or is it open source? Would be cool if that was improved.
@@DarkViperAU There is an option to sync cutscenes across players, but it's unstable and usually crashes. Frankly not sure about it's development or even it's open sourceness. Was just happy enough to find a way to screw around in gta missions with a friend so i wanted to share it :D
This mod is a blast but there's a small thing I was wondering if there is a fix for, the time of day advances when you die if you're the second player, can you lock it to only change when "Niko" dies so the time is the same for both players? Or a "sync time with host" option?
some of these arnt necessary, There is a basic downgrader that installs most of what you need, with the only mod being the trainer menue. GFWL works just fine, people joining often dont need to be in multiplayer for it to work either
Ended up editing ZMenuIV.ini If you replace these lines with these values it will change the trainer navigation to be the arrow keys instead. MenuUp=38 MenuDn=40 MenuLeft=46 MenuRight=13 MenuEnter=39 MenuBack=37 Now we have a new issue, we were able to login to gfwl last night and now xbox live connection is failing over and over. Any ideas?
There might be a config file where you can rebind navigation keys, check around gta 4 folder if there are any zolika .ini config files with such a setting
Tried it with a friend. However, the game crashes in cutscenes when Player 2 interrupts it like for example the cutscene where Roman gives Niko his phone.
Yes, some cutscenes will lock up when interrupted. I think there is even a mission that will crash consistently no matter what, so you will have to play it through singleplayer to continue.
Hello, me and my friend followed the tutorial and got it to work on the first try, but then the next day he could not receive/see my messaged anymore and vice versa, do you know anything about this please say yes we've been struggling for 2 days now
Seems like a lot of people are having this issue recently. What if even they don't get an invitation, perhaps they can go through GFWL and just find something like "join game"?
Hi, thank you very much for the video, was very helpful! I have an issue tho, every time I load the game save at the end of the tutorial my game crashes to desktop. Any fix to that? Thank you!
UPDATE: i confirm that I’ve messed up something, now I’ve redone everything and works fine! We noticed just one small issue, the client doesn’t get a wanted level… is it fixable? Thanks
Hello. a friend of mine is having crashes if he is joining me but i can join his lobby. but the main problem are the crashes when he is in a cutscene or on his phone. how do we fix those crashes?
Is your friends Gta 4 unmodded? Double check the tutorial to make sure your friend downgraded everything correctly. Also don't enable too many silly settings in the cheat menu(F7). I also don't recommend using it during gameplay cus I noticed it crashes often. I also know of a few missions that crash in multiplayer no matter what, so if there is a specific mission that will always crash for you, complete it through singleplayer to continue
@@KatWithCigarette Thanks for the answer! we are not sure but maybe we did something wrong with the custom sync. just the client should have it activated right? and do you know a way to tell steam not to update? we are currently going offline to play, is there a other way?
@@AUSTRIABomberman Not sure about the updates. My steam never tried to update GTA after downgrading. As for custom sync, I don't really remember, sorry, it's been a while since we played it. Try only host and then both and see which works better, if at all.
Game unmodded for both of you? Both of you downgraded as shown in the video? If so, try to uninstall the game fully and try downgrading again. Sometimes it doesn't work for me on the first time either, but never with "unable to join the session" sadly, so I can't help you with an exact solution@@marc_smd0484
brother, good video, but when I invite my friend on Windows Live, the invitation does not arrive. do you know what it could be? We need help! thank you!
This could happen if your friend is not in multiplayer session yet. Make sure that before you invite them that they have used their phone to host their own multiplayer session. Let me know if it helps.
@@KatWithCigarette We have tried inviting each other at different times in the process and none of them work... we don't understand it and we don't know what to do, thank you very much for responding

@@ZzesSYT Shame. Sorry but I don't know what else to do. The only time I had this issue is when friend was still in singleplayer. Does it not show the button to invite at all?
@@KatWithCigarette Don't worry, I know you're trying to help. In Windows Live we are friends, but when the time comes, when we invite my friend he doesn't get any notifications and as I said before, we have already tried inviting each other at different times...
ayo bro. a lot of respect and one love for this video. we tried to launch a game and it works great, but i got a couple questions - can you help please, if u don't mind? is there any way to get working phone for player 2? (client side) what to do when story mission was failed? restart the whole lobby or something else? any way to do missions together (host and client side) with separate NPC, story cars, tasks, enemies and etc.?
No idea about the phone. check if there are any settings in that F7 menu to enable a phone in multiplayer. If not, then probably only the host can use it. When a story mission was failed, it's the same as in singleplayer, host can use their phone to just restart the mission instantly or you can go back to the mission marker/starting point. Not entirely sure what do you mean by separate NPC, cars, tasks, enemies? When you play in this way shown in the tutorial, you can play same missions but coop, together. You can drive different cars and shoot same enemies. Could you explain more in depth what exactly you want?
@@KatWithCigarette thanks with responce man the last thing about separate missions, i meant if there any way to play missions for both players at the same time. if u get my idea right- i mean that for example there can be mission from Roman and Bruce. Can player 1 and player 2 somehow start both missions and play it on the same lobby game?
Hello, I have a problem when requesting the GFWL key, because it does not allow me to access your discord channel and therefore I cannot obtain a key for GFWL. I await your response, thank you and greetings.
For some Reason my Invite doesnt Pop up for my friend in GFWL. We already Tried the other way around but we still cant send any invites or Messages. I really hope u can help me.
This could happen if your friend is not in multiplayer session yet. Make sure that before you invite them that they have used their phone to host their own multiplayer session. Let me know if it helps.
Me and my friends are struggling to log in to the games for windows live consistently. Works rarely. Mostly error codes and unable to login or download profile/go online.
