So, I looked around for ways to increase performance in GTA 4. DVXK seemed like a pretty good choice. I dropped in the files, launched the game using LaunchGTA4.exe, and the razor 1911 intro is supposed to normally show before launching into GTA 4 itself, but this time the sound just stutters while the Razor 1911 logo decided to not show at all. I've also tried launching the game from GTAIV.exe, but it'll just result in a crash.
