GTA IV PC Patch Finally

  • 261

Guys it's finally here. These are the Patch 8 notes...

  • Added error code "WTV270" to indicate a problem with connecting to Windows Live Sign in Assistant / Games for Windows Live Servers.
  • Added Windows 8, 8.1, and 10 to compatible OS check.
  • Added Display Controller image in Controller Configuration.
  • Fixed a bug which made completing "Out of Commission" mission impossible when frame rate exceeds 60fps.
  • Fixed a bug with the "Resource Usage" indicator on graphics cards with more than 2GB of VRAM.
  • Fixed a bug that restricted settings changes when using modern video cards.
  • Fixed a bug with the map crosshair on certain resolutions.
  • Fixed a bug with text scrolling in "Brief" Menu.
  • Fixed "drawlist overflow" crash.
  • Minor performance optimizations.

The game is finally playable again. Patch 7 was released back in 2011. Rockstar has gifted us this patch after five years. So who's going to go back and play GTA IV? Wait a minute, it still uses Games for Windows Live... I hope Patch 9 removes GFWL. This is still a game I want to play on PC but I do not want to deal with GFWL. It's interesting that Rockstar would be releasing updates for their older games. Is this a sign that we might see more updates for their legacy games?

FINALLY, thanks for the info! Can't believe they still haven't removed GFWL though, I really hope they get around to that some day (but considering how long it took them to release this patch, I'm not holding my breath)!

Yes Patch 9 should be coming in 2020 at the earliest LOL.

I don't get it, why they made so many bad choices with GTA V. Standing near a cop and you are threaded like a terrorist; standing next to pedestrian, they start attacking or running away from you - i find these two the most stupid things ever!

Btw It's nice they didn't forget about the old GTA IV
