Microsoft finally approved Rockstar’s Grand Theft Auto IV PC patch. You can get the 32.6MB update by starting your game, logging into LIVE and selecting to update when prompted.
Reported changes:
- A fix to the crash after legal screen that some German customers were reporting.
- Numerous improvements to the video editor: Smarter naming of videos, improved rendering quality, better fx during replays.
- Fix to bowling while using certain sensitive mice.
- Fix for ATI 1900 shadows.
- Overall savings to memory.
- Graphic improvements to particle systems and mirrors.
- Multiplayer character settings are preserved.
- Support for DirectInput controllers.
Perhaps I’m doing something wrong, but after the patch the game still runs around 20-25 fps in the city.
Last hope now is a good hotfix from Ati… if it comes.
A friend of my has a Nvidia card and there it runs smooth.
Man, this scks..
It seems like this patch isn’t meant to improve framerate. It’s mostly minor fixes.
