Watinho Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 I downloaded the patch from the other topic, and now the game is telling me to reinstall. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pimpinpenguin? Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Hi, Do Steam users download the patch or do we have to wait for Steam to update it? Last time i downloaded the patch it broke my Steam version by hanging on the DOS prompt. The Steam update fixed it so i'm not sure if i'm to wait or get it now?

P33t Posted March 21, 2009 Share Posted March 21, 2009 Thank you Rockstar!I hope this won't screw my game Keep on hoping Hey Rockstar Toronto Team, when is 1.0.4.0 being released? Please add to your "to-do" list: - Possibility to use turn indicators. Thanks Watinho, its like roulette, you have a 48% chance that it works with deactivating your mods, 48% chance that you have to reinstall your game and 2% chance that it works well.
