GTA IV getting patched on the PC

New update official

Rockstar have been getting something of a hard time over the state of the PC version of Grand Theft Auto IV, players reporting numerous glitches and performance issues, which Rockstar hope to resolve via a new patch.

According to the publisher, the new GTA IV update will resolve the crashing-on-launch issue in some German versions of the game.

The video editor will also get some TLC, improving rendering quality, playback, and file naming.

A number of graphics tweaks are also in-bound, including work on the shadows produced on ATI 1900 cards, while multiplayer characters are also now going to be preserved.

We've no date on this patch as yet, sadly.
