Is your 'Grand Theft Auto IV' freezing?

Nope.

No problems yet. But I've only fired it up 4 times now.

I have the ps3 version and it freezes every now and then, rarely it locks completely up calling for a hard restart.

mine keeps freezing right after opening credits i can't play the game at all. I'll keep trying although i don't think its going to work. anybody having the same problem

Mine freezes. It froze on the opening credits and also randomly during game play. I thought it was the disc so I traded it in for a new copy, but it still freezes. I think the problem is my Xbox.

Yes this is happening with my xbox 360. Whats happening is Microsoft is putting 4-5 different dvd Roms in there 360's and not all are capable of reading this disk. Im furious about this being i Just got mine back from repair and the gave me an old referbishd one.Rockstar support told me to call and demand a brand new one. All of us being consumers. We have the right to have a working system capable of playing the products we pay for. Complaints and lawsuits are await.

It happened on my 360 within the first 5 minutes of playing the game.

i can't play at all on the ps3, game starts and freezes almost instantly.... got a new disc, special edition, same thing. this is bs

same for me 40gb ps3 opening credits freezes all the time havent even played the game yet this is bs

i got GTA4 FOR THE PS3 and mine freezes at the opening cinima, tried pushing buttons to skip but it lets me drive for a sec then freezes like eric said this is BS, this is what i get for my $65? i hope MGS4 doesn't have the same prob! maybe this is Rockstars version of the red ring of death

Mine was freezing up a little bit the first day I played but has been fine since. I played yesterday for a good 4 hours, with not problems whatsoever. i think my ps3 just had to get used to it lol

Same BS as everybody else. I own the Xbox 360 version and it froze up on the opening credits the first time through.

I exchanged the disc and followed all the stupid cache clearing procedures to no avail.

It now freezes up so frequently that the game has become unplayable for me. I'm pissed off.

I'm on my third rental from blockbuster and all three freeze after the first 5 min of play. I've tried every solution short of smashing my 360 against the wall. Just happy I didn't pay $60 to buy.

I too am one of the unlucky xbox 360 owners. No problems with any games before, went out and exchanged the disk, deleted the save data, cleared the hard drive cache with the x x LB RB x x thing, new gamer profile. No dice. I got through for about 3 hours initially, but once it froze once there was no going back. Freeze either at the start screen with the boxes or about 2 min after gameplay starts when it actually gets that far. Bummer. This is my last free weekend for quite a long time too.

I just bought it for PS3 (60GB) and it when thru the opening movie/credits, and locked up when you were able to drive. Now it locks up at the very beginning and just has "starting a new game" at the bottom right. I deleted the game file and tried again. It never even tried to load a new game file this time. WTF???? I know it isn't my console, I just played CoD4.

I just unpacked and loaded the game, after installing some 3 gb of data. The game went on to "Starting a new game" and its stuck on the same screen.....my friday nite ruineddddd......

Mine keeps freezing to.played all the way to 2nd safehouse, now i can get past the intro loading screen.

I purchased GTA IV on the day it came out at Gamestop. I have a 360 btw. I popped it in and played for say 5 mins and it froze...hmm...i thought. Reset the system. In 30 mins it froze a good 4 or 5 times at different points during game play...never during a cutscene. Took it back...got another copy. used a lens cleaner on the 360...tried multiple different games no freezing. Played new disk. Played for 10 mins or so froze again while walking down the street. Once while driving, again walking down the street. Hmm...not sure what to do...called Gamestop to ask what i should do. They gave me ANOTHER copy...cont. to freeze at intermittent places in the game...makes it super frustrating to play. Bought one from Best Buy today...hasn't frozen so far. We'll see....can't wait to see what Rockstar does.

Hi, I own the 40 GB PS3 and I recently bought Grand theft Auto IV from walmart, and the first two days I played this game without error. Day 3 I start up my game, Keep in mind the disc only got to see 2 seconds of daylight before i placed it inside the ps3, I play for about 5 minutes, and my game freezes. I reset it, tried again, then it froze on the loading screen. I gave it the benefit of the doubt tried it again and played no longer than to get into a multiplayer game and get killed and it froze right up. This is typical, all my other grand theft auto games have had problems, I put no codes in or anything the game is fucked. I will never buy another Rockstar game again if someone doesnt patch this soon.

i got PS3 40GB AND CANT PLAY MORE THAN 5 MIN. IT worked ok for the first 2 days. not nothing!

Mine's starting to freeze and lockup now. First three days were fine, last couple of days I've had numerous ingame freezes (game would just crash, music still playing, needed a reboot) and a few times the game wouldn't start at all.

I deleted the game data cache twice, it wasn't a real fix.

I've got a 60Gb PS3. It's getting worse and worse, bizarre.

ROCKSTAR PATCH IT!

PS3 Players DO NOT DELETE YOU SAVED FILES AS A FIX!

My game was dead frozen at around 20% no matter what I did. I even deleted some files and played missions repeatedly. I found this fix and it worked.

Just make sure you are signed out of the PSN and revert your theme to the original.

Same problem here for my 360. I played for a bout 4 hours with no problems. All of a sudden it froze, I restarted it, it froze again in another 10 minutes, now whenever I turn on the game it freezes within a minute or so.

I am having the same problem for Xbox 360. I took my disc back today and exchanged it for a new one, no good. I put the new disc in and it froze again. I have restarted about 20 times and nothing helps. I usually get through the loading screens but once i actually try and play the game it automatically freezes.

What can fix this???

I bought a Xbox 360 half a year ago for one thing the new GTA thats the only reason I played the games that came in the box a little but for the most part my Xbox is brand new as I said I only have a log of like 10 or so hours on it just got GTA and it freezes so bad I mean when I first stuck it in there was no problem I played for 2 hours then a crash/freeze up I try restart Xbox launch game and as soon as I get to loading screen freeze the I try restart again and I get about a minute of game play then bam freeze up...

oh one thing of intrest one of my freeze times the xbox told me Disk is dirty or unreadable take out wipe with cloth or whatever I looked at the back of disk and guess what it looks perfect duh its brand new why is my xbox telling me it cant read it..?

unplug your network cable

worked for me and others

Xbox 360 version, i got threw about 8 hours of play. then mine froze. after that i havent been able to retart the game without a freeze right after the start. i have also tryied deleting all gta memory and getting a new copy but nothing worked.

I have GTA4 for 360 and it is giving me the same problems. I exchanged my disc thinking that was the problem but it didn't work. Still freezing. This is the only game my 360 does it for.

When will there be a fix for this?

this crap is freezing on my xbox,it will do it for a couple hours then it will play for 4 hours.when the game freezes and i have to restart,instead of saying play game it sais play dvd.i hope someone gets their f'n teeth knocked down their f'n throat

I had the same problem with my 60GB ps3. until there is a solution with an update or so, go to networks and disable the internet connection. then the game will work. I tried it. it works.

i was having a freeze like a minute into the game everytime, on my xbox. today i went into the game option and turned off auto save and the game hasnt froze since. i dont know if thats what fixed it but it working now so im knocking on wood that it doesnt freeze anymore.

Hey, I have a 360 and have been playing the game for a few days. The first time I loaded up, it was fine. then as soon as i was close to the first mission, the game would give an unreadable disc error. It would do that every time. So i deleted the save file and started again. Then I got all the way to the second island before the Francis missions, but then it would give me the same unreadable disc freeze as soon as I get there. I did trade my game in once before and it still did the same thing. From what I gathered, the unreadable disc freezes are caused from corrupted GTA IV data saves on the hard drive. How these files got corrupted is beyond me, since I haven't put in a cheat or anything. Hopefully there's a patch that can fix all this. Fortunately I haven't had these other freezes I've been hearing about, but I feel for you guys. I'd hate to start over from scratch... again.

i own a ps3 40gb and ever since i installed the game i cant get around the freezing the longer my ps3 is turned off th e longer i can play but only around an hour 1/2 at the most but im also have problems with my ps3 freezing during other games now and dvds which never happened before i installed grand theft auto

This sounds too simple but it worked for me. I stood my xbox in the vertical position instead of it's normal position of laying flat. Have not had a problem since. This was after 30 freezes in a row.
