So I know this might not be the best place to ask for help with this but I've reached out to the "great" steam community and didn't get any reply back, and google isn't helping either.
I'm trying to run Grand Theft Auto IV on Steam on my Windows 8.1 laptop but I keep coming upon a problem. After the main menu, when I click "play" the first loading screen comes up... and it just doesn't load. It stays loading for ever, I left it for 10 minutes and it never loaded. The screens change, the framerate counter keeps changing so it's not frozen and it hasn't crashed it just... won't load.
This isn't an issue (that I know of) with GFWL or Rockstar's social club becuase I'm signed into both of those and on my windows 7 computer never had any problems...
so if there's a kind soul out there who can help me, I'd much appreciate it.
