john88z Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Whoo hoo The clock tower & tickertapes are back. Yes I agree, those were defiantly worth losing 20 fps over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcrysis02 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Nothing's coming up relating to the patch. Methinks this is fake or region dependant. I don't think it's fake.Why would it be?A fake patch that doesn't allow you to cheat?But Niko's gloves have been removed....he has so ugly bare hands...i need to cover them up quick.... You can always draw on your monitor. Nah,Niko is always moving,causing mayhem on my system,so that would be a little difficult. But i have to ask around now concerning this tweak...

Rickzu Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I don't see any new patches on the official website Anyways, those of you who have intalled this so-called patch that apparently doesn't exist....does modified files include things like the graphics fix? Because I really don't want to enable the ugly depth of field just to play online, and I really like motion-blur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PerebruM Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Is there a direct download for this patch? When I download it via Live it's stuck near the ending, it's been this way for 40 minutes now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psymn321 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 (edited) Live seems to pause for ages, it took about 5 mins on my connection (probably about 3 rly), then exited to windows and ran an executable. Ive just played 40 mins and ima gonna puke. Runs f*cken great, used to drop to 20fps and even worse if it started bugging out but now havent seen it go below 30, with an average of what seems to be 38fps whenever i look and settings a fair bit higher than before, which at 1080p means this is finally the game i thought it should be. Ive not used the worst weather conditions tho. This is a win R*. Thanks you very much. Edited March 21, 2009 by Psymn321 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noz38 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Solved my installation problem by disabling my firewall during install. Try this! And it's great to have a TDM without cheaters!!!

MajorVienna Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Does this patch remove the NAT analysis? The rating it gives in the in-game windows live>settings>network information, where it would say strict, open or medium, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rickzu Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 My game started updating when I logged into LIVE, but I'm not downloading a f*cking patch in-game, that's retared. There better be a download soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Psymn321 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I've lost a few fps after this update, too (~7, before 26, now 19). confused.gif Check your settings, my settings were considerably up on what the were before i patched, specifically, i had shadow density set to 3 before, but noticed the post patch it went to 10. I changed to 5 and it seems to be running better than before (tho i think my bad performance previously was bug related, and ive not run into that bug yet ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Girish Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 When I download it via Live it's stuck near the ending, it's been this way for 40 minutes now... Same here. I'll just wait for R* to upload the patch on their site and download it from there. That would be a lot better than sitting on my ass observing a progress bar that doesn't move at all.

waldoribeiro Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 How are the textures in this new patch? The same.. ? Why would they be different? They still disappear though. I don't mean if there's a change in texture, I meant if they're no longer disappearing and if the shadows are fixed, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ishan23 Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 finally my patch has installed(took around 40 mins). but now when i go to multiplayer it says restore your original files. now the only thing i remember modifying in my game was reducing the amount of rain particles (if that too counts). any help on this will be appreciated.

Girish Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 So is this real or not? It's real, for sure. Just that some people are unable to download it via Live. They'll have to do a manual installation after the patch is uploaded on R*'s site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Horror Is Alive Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I wish Rockstar could hurry the f*ck up then. I'm sick of waiting. It should be up at the same time as the GFWL download. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagnAn Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 So, this disables trainers until someone finds a way around it? That really sucks, I'm not going to try this until there's trainer support and a direct download (I use xliveless) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
