Probably an Intel driver bug given that the game works just about everywhere else, and we're not particularly interested on figuring out workarounds for old Intel IGPs on Windows.
@EngineerGaming1968 Reminder you can use a more recent version of dxvk (even the latest, I think), since technically your driver advertises Vulkan 1.3. Can't guarantee the results will be any better, since Windows Intel drivers aren't renowned for their stellar Vulkan support, but it's something to try at least. In any case, it's not like anyone can fix bugs in v1.10.3 at this point, dxvk has come a long way since then.

Already tried using the latest version, it won't launch with the rockstar launcher, but now that you mentioned that intel drivers aren't good with vulkan support, i'll have to accept the fact that I have to buy a new rig to better support vulkan. It's a loss cause because I tried night and day for a fix, but to no avail.
Mind you their support for discrete GPUs is somewhat better, but pre-Xe iGPUs haven't been getting a lot of love.

Before doing that, I guess you can throw dxvk-sarek at it too. It's basically a more up to date fork of dxvk v1.10.3, so I expect it to have mostly the same issues as well, but who knows.
Slr, I was testing out dxvk-sarek, it somewhat fixes the issue of just loading in and freezing, but as time went on, it would freeze again, making it unpredictable when it will happen, if your curious here's the GTAIV_d3d9.log:

I had Windows Vulkan driver issues on Gen9 iGPUs previously with DXVK (not just GTA4), Windows drivers are already EoL for your information.
Anyway it works fine out of the box on ANV+BMG. ANV+Gen9 needs INTEL_DEBUG=noccs for GTA 4.
Oh great! How does that work? Like put it in dxvk.conf?
No, these are Linux environment variables, you can't use them. What am I saying is:
It works fine on Linux (because drivers are still getting fixes there), but also your hardware needs one tweak to make it work on Linux. Windows is busted because Intel dropped driver support for your hardware and nobody can't fix this.
The latest dxvk version i think you can try is 2.6.2 because as far as i can tell your driver won't work with 2.7+. But it might not work any better.
Nothing extracted yet.

Scenario:
Trying out dxvk for my copy of GTA IV Complete Edition from steam because it can optimize the game, at first it was all going smoothly with a few stutters here and there, but when it freezes, I had no choice but to end task. I run it again, but this time it freezes when loading to the level, I end task and run it again, but the problem persist.
