Arriva questa sera, tramite il rockstargames social club, la notizia che Rockstar Games ha rilasciato una nuova patch correttiva per GTA IV, disponibile sia per PS3 che per Xbox 360. L'update dovrebbe risolvere i tanto famigerati problemi di freeze riscontrati da molti utenti durante le sessioni di gioco, e apportare ulteriori migliorie al titolo che ha come protagonista Niko Bellic.
L'aggiornamento si avvierà automaticamente con l'inserimento del disco nella PS3 connessa al PSN, e le stesse modalità sono previste anche per Xbox 360, che si avvarrà naturalmente del Live di casa Microsoft.

Questo il dettaglio del nuovo aggiornamento:


- Fixed an issue where players were unable to enter or exit vehicles in GTA Race.

- Fixed an issue where scripted vehicles were causing games to unexpectedly crash.
Improved reliability and frequency of PS3's online leaderboard updates.

- Fixed a rare hang some players encountered when moving from a Race or GTA Race lobby into gameplay.

- Fixed a hang that would occur when players were switching teams during the countdown in the lobby.

- Fixed an issue where players were able to get ridiculously high scores from Cops 'n Crooks matches.

- Changed GTA Race and Race so that the last player remaining always receives a reward of $250.

- Fixed an issue where spectating players would prevent the game from finishing.

- Fixed an issue where players were unable to spectate in Round 2 of Cops 'n Crooks games.

- Changed countdown timer in lobby so that it no longer resets when new players join a game.

- Changed the kick option so that kicked players are no longer brought back to single player.
