GTA IV - Games for windows live keeps disconnecting
So I bought this game yesterday, and it's fully updated (GFWL too). And when I play online multiplayer, after a few minutes it says: Disconnected from games for windows live. And i have to restart the game to play online again, until it disconnect me again. Does anybody know what the problem is?

Hmmm could be router or firewall issue. Here's a link to GFWL connection troubleshooting. http://support.xbox.com/en-gb/games/pc-games/troubleshoot-games-for-windows-live-connection#f0766aefcdc94d16913b3e110244faca
Try opening the suggested ports in your router and make sure that your firewall is not blocking GFWL/GTA IV. You could also try disabling your antivirus program before launching GTA IV.

Also you could try uninstalling any GTA IV mods (if you have any) as they might cause issues.

This is one among many reasons NEVER to buy games infested with GFWL.
The problem lies with GFWL, so you will have to take it to them. Good luck.

Uninstall the Games for Windows Client you have installed now and install the latest one here: http://www.xbox.com/en-CA/Live/PC/DownloadClient
That should fix the issue.
