Own a PlayStation 3 and having an issue with Grand Theft Auto IV's? Rockstar may finally have the fix, having just released a new patch that "prevents Gamespy's servers from being overloaded and therefore reduces the impact on those servers that were causing the game to stutter and lock up."
All of that is quite a mouthful, but whatever gets the job done, right? Rockstar says they will continue to monitor performance both on and offline and will provide further updates if necessary.
"We want to assure everyone that, together with our hardware partners, we continue to strive to give our fans the best possible interactive entertainment experience possible," Rockstar said in a statement today. "This update will ensure that everyone will experience Grand Theft Auto IV the way it was intended. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused."
So, do you guys accept their apology or what?

Also, **** Brucie.
The PS3 firmware will have to fix that.
Brucie is full of lol Kryptinite!
A better apology would be.
"We apologize for Bull Sh**ing about the problem and for forcing buyers of the game to become Beta-testers."
very alpha!

As for any others bugs...has anyone else had really bad frame slowdown. When I am in an open area with cars, people, and other crap going on it's pretty smooth, but when I head into an alley it slows down to about less then 10 FPS! It sucks.
Wait wuh? Something about a patch for online? No problems here, really.
That is all...
I've had the game freeze once, I just restarted it and it was fine afterwards. The first freeze was early on, I had just completed an early mission, was driving away, with roman talking to me in the car I believe, and I got a call at the same time while driving like a maniac.
Same thing I thought, I pretty much think everyone knows a Brucie.
I haven't played it offline post-patch, but no freezing online. Those gamespy servers suck ass though, why do people use that crap? Don't they know that gamespy has been 100% crap since they opened shop?
That's a world full of possibilities. See what I did there? huh?
