Rockstar Patch GTA IV

Rockstar Patch GTA IV
Written Monday, June 23, 2008 by Dan Webb

Grand Theft Auto IV has received its first patch today to fix a few minor errors that have been arising with the multiplayer. The patch aims to fix 11 minor errors and Rockstar "sincerely apologize for any inconveniences and thank you for your continued support". Awww, isn't that sweet. The patch is available for both the PS3 and the Xbox 360.

_________________________

 

1. Fixed an issue where players were unable to enter or exit vehicles in GTA Race.
2. Fixed an issue where scripted vehicles were causing games to unexpectedly crash.
3.  Improved reliability and frequency of PS3™ online leaderboard updates.
4. Fixed a rare hang some players encountered when moving from a Race or GTA Race lobby into gameplay.
5. Fixed a hang that would occur when players were switching teams during the countdown in the lobby.
6. Fixed an issue where players were able to get ridiculously high scores from Cops 'n Crooks matches.
7. Changed GTA Race and Race so that the last player remaining always receives a reward of $250.
8. Fixed an issue where spectating players would prevent the game from finishing.
9. Fixed an issue where players were unable to spectate in Round 2 of Cops 'n Crooks games.
10. Changed countdown timer in lobby so that it no longer resets when new players join a game.
11. Changed the kick option so that kicked players are no longer brought back to single player.

"7. Changed GTA Race and Race so that the last player remaining always receives a reward of $250."

Id rather be awarded first place. It only makes sense since the last person usually quits out because they know your going to win the race.

I have not played this game for a very long time. I didn't really enjoy it.

when does dlc come out

Comment #32 by Night45Fox
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 @ 12:29:24 AM

i have had some of those bugs. I also agree that you shouldnt be able to change ranked match options once played a deathmatch game of 50000 dollars. also needs a lobby feature to be able to search for games instead of long ass load times back to single player.

Comment #33 by SoulProphet85
Tuesday, June 24, 2008 @ 12:36:21 AM

lol, i dont even have those problems because playihg online seems stupid. I may play it once i have finished the single player and that would take a long time.

To little to late.Already moved on from it now back on Cod4 till badcompany.
Will only think about going back when you can select who you want to play against i want to race like minded people not idiots who just ram you when they realise they cant beat you.Such a bore.

Good patch by the looks of things, wasnt aware of many problems online.

For the people that say "meh i dont care" or "crap game crap game, vice city is better rnrg$$£". Why take the time to post a comment if you really dont care? Yesterday i read the article about Bad Company (the spoof of GoW and Rainbow6) now i dont care too much about that game so i didnt post a comment. Its quite simple really. The dudes behind this website do an amazing job posting up to date news for the 360 and some people just post stupid comments that arent needed, grow up.

Yeah there are still a ton of issues to address and this patch isn't really all that helpful.

I still play it, I got over 100 hours on it. But I dont play online because its filled with mindless idiots.

Shame Rockstar Games aren't patching the single player portion. The "Final Destination" mission can glitch up and I've seen many threads about it. Users are not able to continue the story because of this.

@ Night45Fox

You can bring up your mobile in a MP match and jump straight into the lobby for a new game - no need to load back into the single player game.

I hope they don't fix the swing set glitch otherwise it will be mighty boring on multiplayer

Poll

Downloadable content - achievements or no achievements - will you buy it with or without them?
If the content is good, or for a game I love, I'll buy it regardless of whether chievos are included
I'll still buy and play the downloadable content, but achievements would be nice.
Who the hell cares!?
No achievements, no sale ... and that goes for any game ... whether you're GTA or Halo!
Just stop with the DLC achievements full stop ... you're ruining my completion percentage dammit!
