Problem with GTA IV - Ercha - 11.06.2017

Hi. Today I'm having some weird issues with my GTA IV. Basically, when I start the game trough steam, it loads, but freezes at the intro part http://i.imgur.com/xJBElOI.png

Anyone knows how to fix that? If anyone experienced the same issue

verify files would be the first step, reinstalling the game would be second, and wiping the config settings for the PC whilst at it...

Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I reinstalled the game, but the most interesting part is, when I get to that intro part, well it freezes, but when I return to desktop and then back to the game, that intro text finally disappeared, but the same thing happened at the logo part, it just freezed and I could do nothing. Maybe it's somehow related to LCPDFR mod? Because I installed that today and uninstalled so after that the problems popped

Sorry for double-posting, but I re-installed GTA 4 and removed LCPDFR and now at least the intro going good, but at some reason, the game freezes in the menu? Couldn't it be related to Windows 10 latest update?

EDIT: Finally I fixed it. Next time when I think to install LCPDFR again, I should downgrade GTA 4 to 0.7.0 and use commandline.txt file, to set the settings properly. But with this latest patch of 0.8.0, it doesn't start the game, so I still have to use commandline. Only the game will not run on fullscreen... damn this game is cancer
