Current version:0.91 (!)
Developed by:listener
Supported games:GTA 4

XLiveLess is a small replacement of the xlive.dll with no online support made by listener. It's intended to disable a bunch of the modding-preventing measures of GTA 4.

Main features

  • complete replacement of the xlive.dll (original dll isn't required)
  • all online functions are disabled (to prevent cheating in multiplayer)
  • removed all anti-debugger checks
  • all game variables are made unprotected and can be accessed and changed by the trainers, control centers and other tools
  • in-built asi-loader (no need to replace original files)
  • .asi files can be loaded either from the root game folder or 'plugins' folder

Additional features

for GTA IV version 1.0.1:

  • removed save file check (you can load save file made by any offline XLive user)
  • removed files.txt check (integrated replacement of FileCheckFix and MagicPatch)
  • restored access to the system debugger in the critical error menu (removed loading of WER.dll)
  • enabled write access to memory in code and .rdata segments (no need to call VirtualProtect from a .asi)

Installation

  • unpack the file xlive.dll into the game folder (don't forget to remove the asi loader if there is one)
  • to turn on debug logging, unpack the file xlive_d.dll into the game folder and rename it to xlive.dll

Additional notes

  • savefiles are now located in the folder:

(for Windows Vista) %LOCALAPPDATA%\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames\user_1000100010001000\ (for Windows XP) %USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames\user_1000100010001000\

  • to use old saves, copy them to the folder user_1000100010001000

Known bugs

  • If you select "Live Guide" in the game menu, game will hang.
  • XLiveLess is not working on XP
