I was wondering if some1 aka Frank,Garner or Hapa could sticky this thread untill a patch is released for GTA4 fixing the issues with the game. then when a patch is relesed and you hear about it post your findings here. After all it is the best selling console game and a lot of people are interested in it despite not actually a mapable game. also I visit this site more than any other so I would see a patch has been released here first THANKS. |

Well I know you have ps3 version. But on 360 when there is a update it will automaticly download it before letting you start the game. I assume its the same on ps3?
I see this work around for ps3 on the 360 forums....
Uhhh its taking me ages to find it. Will post later. I see a HUGE list of things to do for the ps3 version to stop the freezing.
Loads of people will say its just your console but there are many problems with GTA at the moment. I can barely play any ranked matches online, a problem hundreds of people are having. But you mention it and all you get told is FORWARD YOUR PORTS  DUH!
Really good single player but I need to play some ranked games!! Everytime I do a race online just before i win it disconnects |

Seems a bit long winded. But this is from Take Two tech support
Please run through the following, go through in order.
1) Delete the game's install data. This is done via the PS3 options. Scroll along the cross media bar until you reach the 'Game' tab, now scroll up / down the list until you reach the 'Game Data Utility' Enter this and locate the GTA IV option. Highlight this and press triangle once, from the menu select Delete. This will delete the game's install information.
2) Delete the game's save files. To delete any save files you will need to do the following. Scroll along the cross media bar until you reach the 'Game' tab, now scroll up / down the list until you reach the 'Save Data Utility' Enter this and locate the GTA IV option. Highlight this and press triangle once, and from the context menu select Delete.
3) Disable your Internet connectivity for the PS3. To do this scroll along the cross media bar until you reach the 'Settings' tab, now scroll up / down the list until you reach the 'Network Settings'. Now scroll down to the Internet connection option and press x, now select the disable option. Once this has been done unplug the ethernet cable if you are connecting to the Internet if using this.
4) Disable the console's information board. To do this scroll along the cross media bar until you reach the 'Network' tab, now scroll up / down the list until you reach the 'Information Board', highlight this and press triangle. From the menu select 'Do not display' Press X to confirm this.
5) Disable Media Server functionality. Scroll to Settings, now scroll up / down to 'Network Settings' select Media Server connection. Once this has been done press triangle and change the option Disabled.
6) Delete all of the system's Internet cache. To do this scroll along the cross media bar until you reach the 'Network' tab, now scroll up / down the list until you reach the 'Internet Browser', highlight this and press X. Once you browser opens press the triangle button once, from the new menu highlight the 'Tools' option and press X. Scroll down the menu until you reach 'Delete Cookies' and press X. Confirm the files deletion. Repeat this for 'Delete Cache'.
7 ) Turn off the PS3 screen saver. Use the cross media bar to scroll to 'Settings', select 'Display Settings'. Now highlight 'Screensaver' and set this to 'Do not use'.
8 ) Once this has been done, manually restart you PS3 by holding down the power button for 5 seconds it will beep once and then shut down. Release the power button and re-press it and hold for about 5 seconds. The system will then boot and reset all display settings. You will be prompted to reset your display settings to how you require them.
9) Once restarted please try the game again, you will be prompted to reinstall.
Once the game has started please turn off the following features:
1) The game's auto-save. Press Start, Game, and locate the Auto-save option. Turn this off.
2) Turn off the game's flicker filter. Press Start, Display and locate the Flicker Filter option. Turn this off.

Perhaps you should look on google for help issues because L4Y doesnt support GTA4 yet. But since you got help, i guess there was no harm in asking
Question!
is GTA4 Multiplayer? |
Check me out on Youtube

Yes. Hence me moaning about it not always working
Free roaming around the entire city with 15 other people is amazingly good fun.
Cops and robbers is also good stuff
Im enjoying the racing at the moment. You can use any class of car, classic, exotic, people carrier, boats, trucks, choppers ect ect ect. Awesome game. Shame about the bugs. But give it time and there will be a patch.
To be fair its working correctly for 90% of users.
Edit : Unless you mean split screen multiplayer, then no. |

The other day I read that all the crashes on the PS3 are PSN related.
Stopping PSN or simply unplugging your PS3 from the internet would fix all crashes. |

Yeah I have seen this as well DG. I've also seen people saying it didn't make a difference. Try the 12 step thing I posted above. Let us know if you have any joy. |

I hope they include this Multiplayer in the PC version. It be a bit of a CENSORED if we end up waiting for someone to create a multiplayer mod for it like SA-MP. |

You get to choose who to let live and who to kill on some missions, this affects the rest of the storyline. I had to go to a funeral for someone i killed |
