[rockdude]

This is the link for downloading the new gfwl update!

GFWL UPDATE

It is clearly written that this update should be done outside the game! Not from the inside! So i did the same! I uninstalled gfwl and installed the 3.5 version and then updated with this one! Done! have a nice day PLAYING!

[W1ckeD-]

Thanks man!

Does it work for you?

[DRMetzger]

Thanks for the link, haven't installed the new one yet so hopefully it works this way.

[Sunrise Driver]

YES! FIXED!

Hope this update won't cause new problems.

[Malekithe]

Thanks for your patience, a new update is avaible that addresses the stuttering issue with GTA IV. Just log in and apply the new update.

 

thanks,

ohoh so patch 1.0.4.0 is confirmed?

 

"Grand Theft Auto IV requires that this update take place outside of the game as there is a known issue when updating Games for Windows - LIVE from within the game. The problem will be addressed in a future game patch. We apologize for any inconvenience."

[Girish]

Is that the new GFWL update? Because I installed the update from within the game and the stuttering issue has disappeared. It's working fine for me; just how it was before.

[YoungGun]

wow that was..... fast.

thanks for the heads up.

[rohit3221]

Yep...Now works fine!!!!

[rockdude]

Thank You all for your appretiation! Just wanted all to have fun playing properly! Have a great day playing!

Played MP and SP with it for some time. No stutters and it's back to normal.

Good job by MS although they should'nt have screwed it up in the first place.

I'd like to say thank you as well. Without condition but with these additions:

 

- nice and fast considering, as I'm sure, THIS was quite unexpected

- have a nice weekend, take tomorrow OFF R* and M$ guys, you've earned it

 

Ahhhh, I must have run down a hundred people before I truly started to feel better. Star Junction is such a nice place to cause a s*it storm

 

(What's a s*it storm Julian?! Is that some kind of s*ity storm where it rans poop or something?!?)

 

Oh, and it was nice to give L4D a go again. Anyone remember that game??

 

Thanks for keeping me company GTA Forums. I'll be a little bit more quiet for, uhhh, a while I guess.....46% and rising

[hanli1995]

Woot, thats M$ one good deed for the year done

[Maluvido]

yes, they finaly did it, and i am a fair guy, i think the game is better now, than was before, i meam, before the crap update also, here the game is better, i can´t wait for a new patch to make this game rocks, good job, sure all of you can understand all my angry about the update problem, but it was not a happy thing for sure, but now, it is fix it, thank you MS.

[Gilador]

I can also verify the new patch as of Thursday 4/23/09 fixed the stuttering issue that 1.0.3 introduced.

 

Good job and thank you!

[TheRealPcGamer]

Well does it improve the game performance or something?

[Girish]

Not for me. It's just back to how it was before the last update.

[easterneuropeanjizzbag]

sweet relief! i will report back after testing...although this sounds quite positive.

[Dcrysis02]

Thanks GFWL team. But i hope next time we won't have to wait for a fix for the actual update.Anyway,glad to see things are back to normal for everyone.Downloading it now,manually.

[kaza83]

yes, I tested it and everything was perfectly normal as before...

 

Thanx MS. Now we can play GTAIV again

[Ardbug]

No performance increase here, now its just back to where it was before it was ruined, no thanks from me, in fact please stay off my games in the future GFWL, you are not welcome.

[dafour]

Good job by MS although they should'nt have screwed it up in the first place.

 

Big 2nd

[LordRhyme]

lol its nice to see everyone is happy now

[Latetzki]

I guess it's better now

[Rhazzy]

Well isnt this ironic?!...same guys that where complaining and insulting Microsoft yesterday are giveing "thanks" to the same company and praise it today...Anyhow ill stick to xliveless and from now on ill donwload crack versions of the games i want to play...iam not buying any pc game from now on...coz it seems that only the onest customers have to suffer while those who downloaded ilegal copys of the game goes like-"what the game is broken?pfff i dont care, is not like i payed for it...ill play another ilegal downloaded game mean time"- but us the ones who payed for the game are going on forums and writeing...we go on Windows live forums and write there trying to make those peoples to come up with a fix faster etc etc.

But at the next failure either from M$ or R*(coz things like this messed update will happen again) i want to be one of those guys who sayz -"Pfff i dont care... is not like i payed for it"-(wich actually i cannot say ..since i have allready bought the game )

Yes i have noticed people being a little, hypocriticle, first saying how bad they are, and then saying thanks and good job. But it doesn't really matter, as long as everyone is happy to have it fixed again thats the point.

 

I definitely have lowered respect for MS and R* now, although mainly for MS.

 

If this does happen again though, i don't think we will see anybody saying thank you for a fix, and rightly so.
