GTA IV Gets a New Patch

The patch that comes after 6 years.

Yes, you read it right, GTA IV. For all we know, Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 users were having great problems about launching and playing Rockstar’s first next-gen GTA. If you want to hear Roman’s annoying phone calls again, you should check this patch out.

Here are the patch notes [11/29/16]:

• 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 patch is PC only, and there are no signs of a console patch yet. Probably a console patch will never come out as the issues listed above are generally PC-oriented. The urge of re-downloading the game grows strong. Let’s return to the much darker streets of the Liberty City, shall we?
