Take-Two's suggested PS3 Grand Theft Auto IV fix
11:22 AM, May 2, 2008
The freezing issue on GTA IV doesn't seem to be going away.
I contacted Rockstar for an official comment, but they declined and suggested I get in touch with Sony.
From what I've seen on other game news sites, Sony doesn't have much to say, either.
But Gamespot did contact Take-Two's tech support team, and came away with an extensive list of suggested fixes for the PS3 version of GTA IV (no word on whether these fixes work on the Xbox 360 version).
While the checklist is probably worth a try if your copy is freezing on you, the length of the list suggests to me that the cause of the problem is still unknown and Take-Two is basically trying every gimmick it can think of to solve the issue.
I'm sure an official patch will be coming at some point.
For now, though, good luck with the list.
- A new week of bankruptcy! A flood of new releases is coming!
- Epic fail of the week #2. The worst gaming video. Ever.
- Review: Myst on the DS is an epic fail
- Behind the scenes at Nerve Software, maker of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars for Xbox 360
- Texas Gamer Reviews
- 'GTA IV's' real Niko is bitter about his salary
- Wow, EA doesn't know when to quit
- 'Guitar Hero' world record attempt going on NOW!
- 'GRID' demo is mighty impressive
- 'Lips' a no-show at Gamer's Day

What about the xbox 360 copy of Grand Theft Auto 4? thers no news, no soloutions nothing! i brought a copy of GTA4 a couple of days ago. it was fine for the first 20 mins but the suddenly the screen just froze. then ever since it's been freezing as soon as i walk out of the flat (especially when i start driving in a car). So then i went and bought a second copy as i thoguht it may be the disk and yet the same thing happened again! What do I do?At least you ps3 gamers have a soloution!!!!
To fix GTA game freezes just clear the system cache on the Xbox 360!
Unfortunately you may have to do this frequently.
