Please check your entire root directory for any files ending with .flt or .asi extension as these are the ones to be loaded by the game and remove them (aside of the gta-vc files). Also try to close unnecessary processes from task manager (using CTRL + ALT + DEL, then select task manager) and see if it changes anything.

no bro, i dont have any .asi or .flt file

unecessary processes? my pc is freshly installed with google chrome and gta vc, and gta 3 + lu, nothing more

Try messing up with the Windows Firewall. Try turning off Windows Defender too.

This isn't applicable advice.

:edit: In the compatibility options, make sure to set "Reduced color mode" to 16-bit as well as 640x480 resolution.

I'm not advising him. I'm telling him to try it. If it works after doing those things, then it must be the problem with his firewall or AV.

No, it's not, we've already established that this is an issue with DirectX initialization and occurs in both single and multiplayer.
