Despite getting a supposedly better GTA IV (complete with video editor, bigger multi-player and improved visuals), PC gamers are complaining about graphical issues, crashes and freezes while trying to connect to the Internet.
Rockstar have already suggested a few possible solutions and these have been added to by various sites.
These include:
- Defragging your hard drive after installing the game
- Signout of Rockstar Social Club online
- Instal the latest service pack for Vista or XP
- Instal .net Framework 3.5 (and making sure you’ve got 1.1 already on there)
- Use Beta drivers for nVIDIA 7900 cards.
On GTAForums’ poll on the issue, currently, of 198 people who own Grand Theft Auto IV on PC, 14 per cent can run the game smoothly, for 32 per cent the game runs, but “horribly” and 12 per cent can’t get the game to run at all.
