Steam usually updates games automatically, so the most recent patch should already be installed.

To the OP: Are there any error messages when GTA IV crashes, or does it just dump you straight to desktop?

Basically it will all of a sudden freeze then it will go to a black background but you can seen the task bar on the bottom of the screen and a box pops up and it says "Grand Theft Auto IV has stopped working" then it tries to get information on what happened

I'm not very familiar with Windows 8.1, but is there a "Details" option on that window? That should list the specific error that caused the crash.

So it turns out that there is no "Details" button when the game crashes. But after looking around I came up on something about a memory leak and this could be a factor. But I was able to get past that part of the game and it crashed on the mission after that one now :( . Also could the texture settings be a factor? Im on "high" could that be making it crash?
