GTA 4 plagued with bugs

PS3 suffers more than Xbox 360

 

 

IT SEEMS PS3 owners are suffering some GTA 4 blight of their own, after the infamous prostitute-bashing game was leaked early by pirates on the Xbox 360.

 

Several readers have emailed the INQ to report that their copies of GTA 4 on PS3 cannot be installed to the hard-drive on their consoles, even after a factory reset and reformat of the device. Other users have reported crashes after successfully installing the game.

 

Similar tales have popped up on the official Playstation forums, Digital Spy, GTA Forums, AVS Forums, and many more.

 

To begin with, users believed that only 60GB-launch consoles were suffering from the problems but, since these first systems reported errors, non-launch 60GB and 20GB console users have also reported problems. PS3 Forums has started a poll showing that it isn't restricted to one type of SKU here.

 

Someone on the Playstation forums contacted Sony support and received this answer: "The Rockstar tech guy said that they are looking at the image that was sent out for the PS3 disc and they'll post onto the official Rockstar forums when a fix comes up, which he said would hopefully be soon."

 

Another reported that the Canadian support offices were being plagued by callers: "A friendly English bloke claims he was getting hammered with issues, and he is leaving work in 25 minutes."

 

There is currently no official response from Rockstar.

 

Some Xbox 360 owners are also reporting problems, though the situation doesn't seem quite as bad as that of the PS3. One user is reporting crashing and odd texture problems on the GTA Forums.

 

There are similar reports that a few Xbox 360 consoles have RROD'd when playing GTA IV, but this is hardly unexpected news... µ

ROckstart Support: NO GTA Freeze

Earlier today we broke the news that some Grand Theft Auto IV gamers were having problems with the game on both the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360.

 

For them, the game was freezing up during the introductory cut-scene, something that neither I nor Mike experienced during our time with the game on both systems. To be clear, we have no idea how widespread the problem is, but it's certainly on Rockstar's radar and making the rounds both in our tips line and on forums.

 

Rockstar declined to comment on the issue officially, so I went to the phone and called up Rockstar Support to see what they had to say about the problem.

 

A very friendly, and obviously unhappy, fellow answered the phone who, after thanking me for not yelling at him and apologizing profusely for the problem, spilled quite a bit of beans on the issue:

 

 

The man told me that the problem is apparently only effecting the 60 GB version of the Playstation 3, but that it didn't matter than my particular console was a launch console (Yes, I told a little white lie and said my copy was locking up.) He said the problem is not across the board for the 60GB PS3s but rather only impacts some, so their tech folks are working around the clock to try and figure out what is causing the issue.

 

He did ask me to make sure that my harddrive wasn't full and that I had the latest firmware update, but confessed that that really isn't what's causing most of the problem. He also said that the Xbox 360 is having the "exact same problem," which has further stumped their tech folks.

 

I asked him if wiping the harddrive and reinstalling the PS3 version would help, as seen on the PS forums, he said I could try but that he hadn't heard of it helping a single person.

 

He ended the call by saying that they really have no idea when a fix will be coming because they can't figure out what is exactly causing the problem and then once more apologized.

 

"I feel terrible about this."

 

If only more support folks were as empathetic and genuinely concerned about the problems their customers are going through.

I'm sure you wouldn't be saying that if it was your 360/PS3 that couldn't play the game.

 

Rule no. 1 : Don't believe everything the media tells you.

Rule no. 2: Don't forget rule no. 1
