R* has removed standalone GTA IV: Episodes from Liberty City, which was working perfectly fine, and replaced it with this Complete Edition garbage.
I finished TBoGT before the removal and started TLoD in this new Complete Edition. I have noticed the game is running significantly worse than ever before. I played GTA IV and TBoGT on 1080p, medium settings on 40-50fps. In Complete Edition, I can barely make it on 30fps, 720p, Low settings. So this version is super inferior to the previous one.

I started playing TLoD, played it for 2 hours. Then I wake up the next day only to find out that all of my progress is gone and now it wants me to sign in to their non-functional Rockstar Launcher, to save progress. I'm pretty sure it didn't ask me to sign in when I started playing. So why didn't I get that sign-in window before I wasted 2 hours of my life for nothing ?
Their launcher is 100x worse than Games For Windows Live (which is a DRM that they quietly removed in the classic version)
Never have I uninstalled a game so quickly.

Do yourself a favor and pirate this game. If you owned the standalone Episodes From Liberty City game and you still have it installed, than don't uninstall it if you want to play it in the future. If you see the "Purchase" icon instead of "Play", just launch it from the game folder, it won't count your platime, but at least you won't have to deal with the cancer Rockstar Launcher.

Rockstar Games is officialy dead. RIP
