Confirmed issue, did some regression testing but its the same on very old builds. Working on 1.08 though.

Is this still an issue?

Yes. I tested it last week with the most up-to-date RPCS3 build.

The game will only launch if you install the Grand Theft Auto IV v1.08 Update.

how to update it?

Here: https://wiki.rpcs3.net/index.php?title=Help:Installing_Game_Updates

Read the page but, in short, you need the PKG update file and point it to RPCS3.

This update is just a late update released after even the release of Grand Theft Auto V and mainly fix just multiplayer connectivity issues, but for some reason it allows the game to start. But I hope this issue can be fixed someday.
