Thank you for this info, I thought the saves were located in the Prog Files all along. Never even thought about going to my Docs lol, thanks i found my save now so I backed it up because I had some error because i cracked my PC version. I also play on PS3 but I use it on PC to play online because of my Jailbreak ps3.

No success after several attempts. I think GTA performs a hash-check on the saved game file, even if you create a similar offline account.

Thanks! This little tutorial confirms the expected, but the GFWLive backup is a critical step that could easily be forgotten. (Number one Google result for “backup gta iv save”, too BTW.)

None of these solutions work for me. I reinstaled my windows 7 and i copied the xlive folder and the rockstar folder but still does not work. Does it have something to do with me having an offline windows account?

Hot damn, it works. I transfered from my Desktop (Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit) to my Laptop (Windows Vista Home 64 bit) This was a test because my desktop is f’d up and I must reinstall the OS and i am just upgrading to Windows 7. The second time I loaded the game it loaded the updated game fine. No problem. Thank you for this. And for all of those who think transferring your game is hard, it is not. I have the Online GTA Live account BTW.
