GTA IV locking up?

[Shoes_Buttback03]

Alot of people are saying GTA IV is broken and locking up so bad they need to unplug there console at the wall. Now I don't have it yet because Family Video doesn't have it yet. So what say you? Is it locking up? Or are these some troll's who have united against GTA IV.

Clicky with Kotaku

Well, this is a case of internet exaggeration. Those who have lock up problems will be on forums posting their outrage and anger, while those who don't have any problems will just be playing their fingers off.

I've had one freeze. No big deal.

 

[VictimOfScience]

I have it for my 60GB PS3 and no freezes yet.

 

[Loke]

Played it for 6 hours and no freeze. PS3 version.

 

[Stigmata]

No freezes so far, 360 version.

 

[Reginald]

Official play count verging on 6 hours. No freezes. 360 version. Not even any slowdown or noticeable popping up either. :E

Had an unreadable disk error, which was kinda funny because it interrupted a phonecall, Roman was talking and after he was done with his sentence, neither said anything, just dead silence. So I hung up and shortly after that I got an error.

 

[Mutley]

5 freezes so far!!! No idea why, seems many people are having the same problem.

 

[blahblahblah]

No freezes, but serious stuttering on the PS3 version. Pure BS.

 

[Geogaddi]

I've got a problem with the sound cutting out in cutscenes, I missed the whole bit after "Uncle Vlad".

I've got to replay from the laundromat window mission just to see it again....not that I mind, I killed Ivan by accident when I meant to spare him.

I got one lockup tonight while playing multiplayer with Shamrock and Raziaar. Had to reboot my 360 and then decided it was probably time for bed anyway

 

[Raziaar]

Yeah my Xbox 360 locked up at the same time I think.

Then my Xbox live started being a dick as per the other thread.

 

[Tyguy]

It's happened a few times for me, just sit at the loading screen. I hope its patched

 

[VictimOfScience]

Update: 1 lockup in 7 hours of single-player play (60GB PS3).

 

[Acepilotf14]

About 5 hours of play, no lockups.

 

[Fishlore]

Haven't experienced it yet on my PS3. I hope I don't encounter it.

 

[B_MAN]

played for about 6 hours
single and multiplayer
not one lock up
X360.

*knock on wood*

 

[MorganFreeman911]

No freezes so far, 360 version.

Agreed.

 

[Iliketobenaked]

no freezes for me

 

[Loke]

16 hours in, no freeze as of yet. Longest "in-one-sit" is 4 hours. :E

 

[Tyguy]

When the game appears to be frozen, just wait an extra couple minutes. Sometimes it will load up.

 

[Shoes_Buttback03]

23 hours no lock up. Sweet. I love Liberty City!

 

[TwwIX]

Yeah, it got stuck on me twice loading a mission.
Looks like the patch is coming out soon.

does the autosave allow you to continue after shutting down the console or do you have to manually save by "sleeping"

 

[Shoes_Buttback03]

Still no lock up's.
