gamerzworld Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 (edited) Anyone want to take a guess at what gtaEncoder.exe is for? Well in the HEX, it has references to WMVCore.dll...so it's most likely the video encoder for the video editor and not some Xbox 360 emulator as some idiots seem to think. The hook.exe no longer works with the current update. To be expected as offsets have changed. Edited December 13, 2008 by gamerzworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p00se2 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 WTF. DOES ROCKSTAR EVER THINK OF HIRING BETA TESTERS!?!? NO, THEY HAVE US ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creat3d22 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Wait... do you guys actually think that this game is an EMULATOR of either console, allowing the game to run on a PC? Are you seriously that dumb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L0uNGeR Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Games are developed on PCs or specialist work-stations, based on PCs. The earliest testing of code has to be done on PCs; all games in their way are playable on PCs. The translation into console apps doesn't change much. But what we have is a translation of a translation, not a clarification of the original form of the game as it was made on PC. It's created on PC, not tested on PC. Every console has it's own development system, so they don't test the code on PC when it's created for the console. Wait... do you guys actually think that this game is an EMULATOR of either console, allowing the game to run on a PC? Are you seriously that dumb? Exactly what I was thinking...

rud Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 They didn't make any claims about major performance improvements. I'm just glad it's fixing some of the game stopping bugs people are having and hopefully fixes the other annoyances they mentioned (mutiplayer models not saving). Hopefully Rock* will speak up again soon and at least give voice to the claim that they might possibly look into the outrageous performance issues and maybe release another patch in the future, if microsoft says its ok..

Fiks1337 Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 From what I have seen and tested it caused the game to crash twice for me maybe I just need a reboot. No memory leaks have been fixed. Shadows still look like MS paint ( not a big deal ). didn't notice any AA settings in options. Don't care about Controller support. Graphic improvements to particle systems and mirrors, Saw none! Overall savings to memory, didn't notice any! Like I said I will reboot and see if that helps.

L0uNGeR Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 The game DOES have an auto gui-change system which switches between PC and Xbox controls. It's awesome if you are using a 360 controller. It shouldn't get stuck though, it goes back when you touch keyboard or mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quemical Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 The "R* Sucks, my game don't work" Threads have been replaced with "R*Sucks, The patch didn't fix my game, it made it worst" threads. The patch is still DL for me, so hopefully i don't have to start a thread saying the patch made the game worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One-time Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 Except that this is most likely the PS3 version with GFWL super-glued on: the 360 forces all games to have 2x AA(with HDR, even though the 360 applet is based on DX9, blows the devs dodgy reasoning for not having AA away). If this is an emulated PS3 version, then it is simply never going to have AA in any form except a post-proccess blur, like we have in GTA IV. Just to tell you guys, nothing in this game is emulated. It's not emulated, they just didn't recode the engine to a full PC x86 codes, and even some codes are missing. Like, a good dual core detector which will let you play it with Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz instead of the hyperthreaded quad i7. And what's more, they still left the Xbox 360 core detector which will only let you play smoothly on tri-core or more. So we simply say this "emulated", but in fact it's just some code optimization error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArkangelJosh Posted December 13, 2008 Author Share Posted December 13, 2008 no running a game on an emulator then on PC would be suicidal especially considering the Detail and usage of GTAIV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blckvec Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 I've never been more scared to install a patch in my life lol With that said... gaming companies should start using all the money they set aside for anti-piracy protection and buy a couple hundred thousand slim-jims. It will be money better spent. And any gaming company should look at GTAIV and Windows Live and take note. There is no amount of useless features windows live has that trumps the fact that they DELAY GAME PATCHES. In this case for 6 days. I think everyone hear could agree that we would of rather had rockstar working on the patch for 6 extra days, rather than MS homofy'n it for a week and then gracing it upon us.

yerkonoku Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 So uhh, yeah. Can't even play the game now. Niko constantly wants to go left. And camera goes down... Screw this.

k4ch1ng Posted December 13, 2008 Share Posted December 13, 2008 installed the patch and niko is constantly staring at the sky now the game is unplayable I have the same f*cking problem. I hate this sh*t. They just made it worse. As soon as I load the game the camera just instantly rolls up to the ceiling. Is anyone else getting this problem? Have the same problem. The game runs smooth (a little better than b4), the shadows look a little better, and I didnt see any blinking textures (yet). But CANT play with this problem. It can be controlled while walking, but its almost impossible while driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will try rebooting my computer and if that's still not working, I will reinstall it. Hope my saved file will still be there.
