Is there any way to improve loading times?? Will a faster hard drive (raptor for example) make any difference??

I wish I could play GTA, but I recently switched to Linux and I don’t think Wine could handle it. Although I here some people are getting Assassin’s Creed to work on Linux so who knows.

I was getting an indefinite load, then I uninstalled about six or seven times, and the best I got was about a half-second in the game before a complete lockup (no interface response, had to cold-boot).

Then I disabled PSN. I haven’t had a single crash or any other odd behavior since. Some people say that all I need to do is disable Media Server; I’ll just wait for the patch, it’s a long campaign. I hope this helps somebody out there.

Hi,

I have a 60gb and mine kept crashing. I have done the following and it hasnt crashed since.

1. goto the GTA IV game saves and delete the save that says profile.
2. Load GTA IV and once loaded, turn off autosave and then save the game immediately. It has worked for me.

As proof of concept, I turned the autosave back on and it started crashing again, I did the above again and it has worked ever since.

To me its the autosave that making mine crash.

I had GTA4 lock up on me, then it stopped reading the disk when it was inserted. deleted cache and still had a problem. Ended up having to re format my hard drive, reinstalled and then had it happen again. After a second reformat it locks up while installing data. I am using a launch version 60gig. Hope Rockstar works it out and my PS isn’t fried

I had this problem too on Roman’s Sorrow… I tried deleting the game data but it didn’t work… disabling my network connection was the only thing that got the game running again for me.

I hope Rockstar patch this quickly cos it’d be shame for such a frustrating glitch to mar such an otherwise perfect game.
