Cache overflow causing the crashing?

[wolfgang187]

Came across this on news for gamers... hope this isnt true and if it is I'd certainly hope Rockstar would come out and tell us they at least know what the problem is and that they are optimistic that it can be fixed.

As it stands, there’s no fix. But we did some research and believe we have the answer as to why this is happening.

 

Rockstar, in their very finite wisdom designed the game to have no loading times. That’s great, except for the fact that GTA IV now overloads the cache and causes a lock-up (freeze). So now, instead of saving load times and providing a seamless experience, Rockstar has forced some machines to crash while attempting to load from the cache.

 

The solution: Rockstar needs to release a patch that limits the strain on the RAM right out of the gate. Can they even do this? Who knows? They haven’t managed to make a game that doesn’t freeze in two years. Unless you count the mega epic “Table Tennis”.
