nope, gold pressing just means that they are going to be bringing up the already released version with the version they will be releasing on disk soon

Ah, I see. Thanks for the explanation.

Well from what I read once you're in the helicopter the mission is won pretty much. :p The first time I crashed the helicopter, the 2nd time I couldnt figure out how to move it forward(thus letting Pegorino get away), the 3rd or 5th time I finally got it.

I know i've said this alot but helicopter flying sucks. :p Infact I think on the last page of this thread I was ranting about a mission where you have to chase Dimitri while on a helicopter.

I bought this game awhile back, but never installed it. Does anyone know if it still has problems detecting the second card on the 4870x2?

If that has been fixed, I suppose I can play now! For those that have been playing, is it easier with a controller? I have an Xbox 360 controller to use if I have to.

Yep 4870 in crossfire works for me.

I almost got to the end of the game and I accidentally deleted all my saved games.... now I have to start from the beginning... I just got into playing GhostBusters and COD: WoW, so havent had much time to get back to GTA IV.

It does require a lot of time completing the game...

i have a problem in gta iv.

today i overclocked me q9400 from 2,66 ghz to 3,5.everything runs smooth.i ran stress tests and everything runs absolutely smooth.

but i have problem in running gta.

since i overclocked the processor,in random times,gta crushes and i re-open it.

is this some kind of bug?any suggestions?

also i suggest anyone with good graphics card,to remove the restrictions in graphics menu and enjoy the game with full graphics!

Can you go back to your original setup and see if GTA is truly affected by the overclocking ? I don't know about overclocking as much as I'd like to.. so I can't say for sure :)

simple remove the overclock, thought that would be common sense to do it a game crashed while an overclock was on lol

I understand that, but you need to do that so you could pinpoint the exact issue with GTA, it could be down to the OC, it could be something else.. you can't know for certain untill you test all the possibilities :)

GTA movie unlikely to happen

Dan Houser, the vice president of creative at Rockstar Games, this week said that a Grand Theft Auto movie is unlikely, and suggested that even if it were to happen, Rockstar would need to have creative control over the movie. This is what he told the Los Angeles Times:

"We don’t believe that the Grand Theft Auto games, which are massive in scope and structurally complex, can be adequately compressed into a two-hour movie.

"It seems obvious to us that maintaining the long-term integrity of any entertainment property has been dependent on not making substandard spin-off products to people whose primary interest is making a quick buck. If we ever decide to do a film, it will be because we have resolved our creative doubts, and while retaining enough control to ensure that if the movie is terrible, at least we will know we ruined the property ourselves."

TLAD (Lost and Damned) PC trailer Rumours

A few rumours were posted on our forums about the USK ratings and possible new platform versions for TLAD. We've contacted R* about this matter, and as it seems it does get released under the PC platform due to Rockstar submitting the trailers as files for playback on PC.

So, for future referece: It isn't a leak or a mistake, all trailers - no matter for which platform the actual product is released - are listed under PC.

after completing story, what do you guys do in gta4 now (excluding 100% stuff)?

i go to the Burger Shot near Jacob's house - Click here to view the SnapMap .

there i just push the biker gang members down the cliff :D , not manual push, just walk & push them over, so no cops beat our arse.

or i go to this - Click here to view the SnapMap - spot & push people into water :p

most of the time i take Dwayne's goons to 'little italy' for some fun :devil:

cop mad at ped -

in this road, there's a church, infront the of church, occasionally a cop has a ped car pulled over & he searches in its boot.

bump the ped car from front, not too fast, just slightly so that the cop falls.

now the cop gets mad at ped inside the car, try & see what happens to that ped.

you can do that anywhere, easy way is at traffic signals :D, bump a ped car towards cops :D

Social Club: Friends and Message Wall Now Available

Two new features are available on the Rockstar Games Social Club - Friends List and Message Wall.

The Friend System allows each Social Club member to create a custom Friends list based on either:

Friends lists taken directly from platforms you have linked to the Social Club.

Your specific Social Club nicknames and/or console identifiers (like a Gamertag).

Once you have created a Friends List you can begin using the Message Wall. The Message Wall is a unique verbal and visual means of mouthing off to your Friends – including a direct message system and customizable personal graffiti wall. Communicate, talk trash with your Friends, and decorate and/or desecrate each other’s Walls at will. More additions will be made to the Friends System and Message Wall in future.

Sigh, I wish this would run better than 6 fps on this rig, I'd be playing it all the time. I guess I could play it on my 360, but I want my mouse and keyboard :(

How is the MP community for GTA4 these days on PC anyways? Anyone playing still?

Well on this rig I'm on a AMD64 3200, 2 gigs of ram and a HD3850 AGP. Not exactly cutting edge. Needless to say, last time I tried to play it was a slideshow even on the lowest settings.

I should think so on a system like that :p I'm not saying it's a poor system overall, but for gaming, especially modern gaming, it stands no chance.
