How to restore the removed soundtrack from IV/EFLC
Rockstar usually remove songs from their games for their 10th anniversary and imo the new ones aren't that good. Perhaps you accidentally updated your game and you want them back? Well you are about to learn how :)!

First of all download the original soundtrack
IV: https://mega.nz/#!neR1lRSB!kksFUF8CJItq8osFNACo4ppRFkxBEP9ItLqulqFSu_8
Alternative links if this one doesn't work:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/htvhj8y9mlmff51/IVRadios.7z?dl=0
https:// www.mediafire. com/file/y9yeeaas32r62mz/IVRadios.7z (remove the spaces, steam doesn't like mediafire)

EFLC: https://mega.nz/#!afQ0QQSB!PWX_P5Lnha_8Fnc1l8HZEFk2LhZQlo9xjPGAyF_Jcu0
Alternative links if this one doesn't work:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/789f29t80qp8sis/EFLCRadios.7z?dl=0
http:// www.mediafire. com/file/yt7ds1sb22q3r99/EFLCRadios.7z (remove the spaces, steam doesn't like mediafire)

Now unpack the archive and you will have a folder called IV/EFLC (depending on which one you downloaded), open that folder and copy its content, paste it into your GTA IV/EFLC folder and replace any file you are prompted to. That's pretty much it. I have also written this in the ReadMe file.

Enjoy!

Also later on I found out that it was already made with a downgrader however I still think this is much more simple and easier. Thanks for taking your time.

If you do have any issues, feel free to add me on Steam and I will try to help you! Have a nice day!

Furthermore, I also noticed that deleting files in the current config folder that are not found in the old config folder with IV has also appeared to disable some or all of the music that was running over those stations from EFLC. That's in case you did NOT like using EFLC as DLC and preferred it as a standalone soundtrack for TLaD (The Lost and Damned) and TBoGT (The Ballad of Gay Tony.) I haven't checked completely, but be sure to backup the current folders if you make a mistake or run into any glitches, so you can add them back as quick as possible.

I hope this helps with something. An alternative is to add your favorite songs back with the independence station because this allows you to add in music of your own choice. :-)

If you're on the latest version of the game, this method will still work for the base game, but one way to do it will sacrifice the stations used as DLC from EFLC. Currently, those stations are acting as bonus stations for the base game. Technically, there is a way to still hear some of the old music being mixed in with the DLC stations, but you will likely not be able to hear every song, and the game may even screw up the play order of songs on the stations or cause glitches. This method is just to copy the sfx files, but then you would ignore the config folder.

If you just want the base game's radio stations to be as normal as possible without downgrading, then all you need to do is to just copy the music files inside the old IV's folder to their destination.

Example: pc > audio (config and sfx)

That will remove bonus EFLC stations from being used as DLC in GTA IV.

Exactly what Lyp3 said. I am very sorry you guys, but I can't really work on a fix right now. Not only am I busy but I've also been having a lot of issues with my PC such as DLs getting corrupt and stuff like that. One of my ram sticks is very faulty. Ran memtest86, not even 5 minutes in and it found 40 errors. Just like that. Funny, isn't it?

Guys, help! I started a new game with the removed songs, everything was fine, I saved. But when I come back to the game both of the autosave and hardsave files seem to be corrupted. Does anybody know how to fix that, maybe downgrade or something?
