!THE INSTRUCTIONS R GAVE WORKED

[Gaia]

the instructions rockstar gave worked, it took three attempts but after third im finally able to play online with 8-10 people to no prob(KNOCK ON WOOD) it works for now well see for how long will reply to this topic tomarow night after i get some gameplay in.

[Gaia]

its a new day, i tried the game again and its doing the same thing, guess its a one time thing, not worth trying, the sign out sing in thing works, its just a pain cause you have to do it every time you sign in i guess.

[Gaia]

now nothings works, There are no tips ANYWHERE that will help you, just guess your sytem has to be in a good mood.

I can play online BUT it takes many attemps of being disconnected before i'm able to stick to a game, and even then i'll randomly during gameplay lose it to. the longest i was able to stay online was about 25 min, and never found a room with more than 4 people including myself. they really should make board rooms where you can see how many people are playing and the host configuration of the game intead of just being thrown in a game before knowing what its like. i like playing free roam city wide not just a part and with all weapons and police on. As of now you can't tell untill your in the game. i dont like that. Well no use trying anymore, Either Wait on R or break it cause gamestop/EB games have become more strickter about returns and exchanges so yeah unless r recalls and we get a new one i guess we just have to hold on a bit longer.

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.
