So Rock* using SecuROM was expected as it was reported on prior to release. But now that the game's out the extent of the DRM headache is beginning to come into focus.
*Must install Rockstar Social Club program & keep it running.
*Must create MS LIVE account
*Must use Games for Windows Live (which wont run on 64-bit OSes)
*Must validate over email more than once.
*Must assign 360 LIVE, PSN or PC LIVE account to Rockstar Social Club.
*Must download (abysmally slow) news updates every time the game is played (before it will launch)
*Must have DVD in the drive at all times game is being played.
and this is all
just to play singleplayer.
So you've done all that, and you're ready to play the game now.
*Game doesn't support SLi (at least for 8800 GTX)
*Game doesn't run under newest GeForce drivers
*Game wont let you modify graphics settings even if your system is more than powerful enough to run high graphics.
*Game freezes, has graphical glitches and..
*Game crashes to desktop.
The predictable Amazon backlash has
already begun one day after release.

great work rockstar, pirates win again.
GFW Live works on my 64-bit machine....
thank shit I have a console version of the game (that I never play anymore, go fig.).
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Consoles win again, fuck PC gaming.
oh i see, you can't afford one. it's ok, someone has to be poor to make the rest of us look better.
Poor show Rockstar.
Please shut the fuck up and leave already, bitch.
I can't stand reading another word of your impossibly stupid comments. I'm at the point where I'd wish you'd just get hit by a helicopter.
@Too Much Coffee Man
I was just talking about other GFW Live games in general. I didn't know GTA's version of it caused problems.
I must say I'm a little surprised.
MSPaint skillz.
But even then I will think about it, I will have to be very bored.
Also, I failed to mention another problem w/ the game. If you uninstall it, it leaves all the SecuROM on the computer as a parting gift.
Hrmm.. that must be something with the game itself, because all of my GFW games work just fine on windows 64bit .. tho i havent tried gtaIV, but GoW,Halo2,Fallout3 all work just fine :o.
