giantpotato Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I just tried out the latest patched version and it's a huge improvement. It feels like a brand new game. The shadows look a lot better, The image looks a lot sharper and the performance is noticeably improved.

san.W10 Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Can anyone else confirm this? I'm usually more interested in singleplayer than multiplayer, and I do have a few mods I like to use. They're mostly graphics and weather improvements, but regardless of that, if I can't use them I'll be pretty dissatisfied. Well, even if this is the case I'm sure the community will find a way around it. Nevertheless, I'm going to reinstall the game soon and install the new patch. I've been meaning to pick the game up again anyway, so the patch was just an incentive to get me to do it sooner. yup, the game will crash if you have any mods/trainers installed :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/page/44/#findComment-592487756 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just want to confirm before installing it. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/page/44/#findComment-592487786 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtreme2damax Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 Does the new patch increase performance? If so, by how much does it increase performance?

RATiO Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hey. I'm on the 'Out of Commission' mission which I think is the last level where I drive a motorbike on the beach and have to climb on a helicopter. Trouble is, when it says 'repeatedly tap A to climb on' I do it but every time it doesn't work :( Anyone else experience this? What am I doing wrong?

alphaomegainfinity Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 For the PC, you have to repeatedly press "space". Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/690176-gta-iv-for-pc-official/page/44/#findComment-594101670 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 I LOVE GTAIV. Playing it on the PC, I received a XBOX for Windows Controller, and love it! SO much easier to play games with!!
