pepperhand Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Evening, Just to let ya'll know, if you haven't discovered by yourself, or hasn't been already mentioned (yes, I'm too lazy to look at past posts.. I don't care) that there is an update available for PS3. Smashing. I assume this'll fix online problems and what not? Anybody got specific details on what this update... updates?

Cowman Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Just to confirm, this doesn't address the freezing problem. I've just tried. We can only pray for new firmware soon.

pablo2008jedi Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 After booting up my PS3 and inserting the GTA4 disk I was prompted to download and install the patch, I don't see why you should download it via PC. As for it fixing things, well I still have auto save off (after it froze while auto saving on 1.0), I've had no freezing since the PSN error over the weekend. Multiplayer always worked for me...

Dorelliun Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) I exchanged the game a 4th time (for Special Edition this time around) and I installed 1.01 today just a few moments ago. Three tries to get the game to run more than 20 seconds or so before the video freezes and the audio continues on the background and I was unsuccessful. The patch did nothing for me. Rockstar, please fix this continuing crash problem with your universally acclaimed beloved cash cow. Some of us would like to be able to play the game instead of watching recordings of it on YouTube.

Because I have dial up so can't connect my PS3 to the intarwebz. I'll need to download it from my (or another) PC, shove it on a pen drive and install it, if possible. Like I can with the firmware.

But, if your PS3 isn't connected to the internet, you shouldn't be having any problems. Therefore, you don't need the patch. Am I missing something?

Am I missing something? Yeah, sorta. For one thing, there are other patches (or will be), with DLC and stuff. I want them. Also, the patch may include other bugfixes, which will always be nice.

Dorelliun Posted May 9, 2008 Share Posted May 9, 2008 Update: 5/9/08, 0949 hours. I just got off the phone with Sandra #47020 with Sony Computer Entertainment of America regarding the continuing lockup/freeze issues being experienced across consoles. She actually had a few interesting things to say, which I will relate here. I will be addressing specifically the PS3 version of GTA 4. Sandra told me first off that Sony, Rockstar and Take-Two are all fully aware of the existence of the problem. She also confirmed that indeed, there is nothing wrong with my console (60 GB Release model), as a few quick questions regarding its functionality revealed that the problem is not with the hardware. This is confirmed, per Sandra #47020 of SCEA. Are you with me so far? Great. There's more. Sandra also indicated matter-of-factly that although they are acutely aware there is a problem, because almost NOBODY is calling SCEA (Sony) to report it, they still haven't definitively identified the source of the problem. Everyone is calling Rockstar and Take-Two screaming for blood when they need to be calling Sony and giving them the details. She indicated the quicker more console owners start opening trouble tickets, the quicker Sony will be able to narrow the problem down to the source. You can quote her on that too. She indicated that they understand our frustration, but that until it's properly reported to the right people, speculation will continue to run amuk and it will just take them longer to identify the problem and put out a fix. So here it is folks, everyone needs to call SCEA (Sony) at 1-866-345-7669 and report the problem to the Technical Support Department immediately, if you haven't already. They are anxiously awaiting our calls, and after learning all of this, I completely understand their frustration as well. They want to help, but they need us to REPORT THE PROBLEM DIRECTLY TO SONY so they can get a fix out quicker. I want to experience this game just the same as everyone else. To the XBox360 owners who are also experiencing problems, I'm sorry I can't address your particular issues, but I would strongly urge you to call Microsoft and report it, as I suspect that they are probably experiencing the same problem.

blackdisney Posted May 10, 2008 Share Posted May 10, 2008 not really developing a freeze just the graphics that pop up when im playing that prevents me from seeing where im walking and driving. the "Patch"download went thru.. it just didnt do anything to the problem I have. Im sure theyre making another patch. i just sent an email to one of the people who answers me from Rockstar. I took pictures and sent it to him. hopefully i'll get a response tomorrow or Monday. i dont know how to put pictures on here. But is anybody else experiencing this problem?
