Saved games: 360 > PC and 100% saves

[DG55]

Here's the thing. I have GTA IV on both 360 and PC, but have finished the game on the 360. I don't want to complete the entire game again on the PC.

Is it possible to transfer my 360 saved games onto my PC? I am using the same Xbox live login on the 360 and PC.

If not, is there any way of succesfully getting a 100% saved game onto my PC version? I can download the files - but I just cannot make them load. Looking around previously, I have seen people saying that the saved games are linked to your Xbox live account - so you cant use other peoples saved games. Is this true?

If neither of these are possible, is there anything else I can do? Is there a cheat or trainer which unlocks the entire map?

Cheers.

So I've worked out that I need to get the xLive thing working in order to use downloaded saved games. The regular xlive makes the game not start. The xliveless one works, but for some reason makes the game ridiculously slow after you have loaded the game (first menu is fine, gameplay and gameplay menu are very very very slow).

I didn't actually get it to work. It started running far too slow to even begin loading games and navigating the menus.

But basically you need to get something called 'xliveless'. Put the xlive.dll file in your directory and in theory it should begin working with the saved game files. BUT I'm under the impression that it makes a NEW save directory, so you need to start the game > begin new game > save that new game > then insert downloaded games into new directory.

I might try that next, coz i tryed the xlive thing and it still wont work, i get the same error all the time.

xlive didnt work for me at all. Game didn't start.

Apparently the slowness is fixed when you run the game from LaunchGTAIV.exe (NOT GTAIV.exe). I'll give that a go next week.

Yeah tell me about it. Why did they even create this stupid limitation in the first place.
