The Lost and Damned for GTA IV PC?


Recommended Posts

A new update released for GTA IV PC adds achievements for The Lost and Damned! At present, The Lost and Damned is only available on Xbox 360, after Microsoft reportedly paid R* $50m for two exclusive episodes. However, the terms of the deal were unclear, and nobody knew if it was a timed exclusive or a permanent exclusive.

So does this mean The Lost and Damned is making its way to PC? Probably.

Play a new playthrough? I did GTA4 twice, never bored me. Different ways to complete the game. The second time was completely different to what I did the first time.

I have beaten the game 3 times. I have beat it 3 times because you can't take your save games with you if you re-format your computer.

you CAN take the save games :p

first save your old save game folder => C:\Users\<user name>\AppData\Local\Rockstar Games\GTA IV\savegames

folder names are something like this - user_e000047d5b0e0034

copy its contents

now, after new install (format), run the game, play little initial part of game, Alt-Tab & head over to the savegame location & you'll find new folder with different name (like user_e00000955b0e0034), just open it & paste the contents.

now Alt-Tab into the game & load your save file.

done :D

Gee, just like I predicted a few months back during the "Oh, it's coming for teh PS3!!1" - Why some people can draw a comparison between this and PS3 is beyond me. Who bought the exclusivity right? Microsoft. Who owns the primary gaming OS it's now being released on? Who owns GFWL? Gee, logic 101 being put to great use there.

As for the news, lovely! Completed GTA IV 3 times, 1 on the 360 and two times on the PC, such an epic game but it was getting a bit stale, I'd love to get a new story tacked on. I did want to buy the episode on the consoles but superior graphics, 60FPS and Keyboard + Mouse certainly beats that low-res laggy console crap.

It's about time. I can't say I'm excited though. GTA IV has been my most disappointing PC game purchase. :/

Myself on the same boat. It is ridiculous to say that I have been playing more San Andreas than IV now a days.

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
