I might be reformatting my PC due to a virus, so I was wondering if anyone knew were the GTA4 saves are located.

It isn't enough to backup just the save games .......... oh why are we not surprised with GTA 4 everthing has to be damn difficult doesn't it :roll: . As well as backing up the save games in the Rockstar folder you also need to backup your xlive folder which can be found :-

C:\documents and settings\\Local Settings\Applicationdata\Microsoft\XLive

If you want more detailed instructions on how to back up your save games for GTA 4 then there is a guide here :-

If you just backup your save games without backing up the xlive folder then GTA 4 can refuse to recognise your savegames once you reinstall GTA 4.
