The offline freezing was due to online problems even if you weren't playing an online game.

Doesn't matter if you play on the PS3 or 360, as soon as you start loading the game, it starts connecting to the servers for stats tracking. This caused issues on the PS3 version.

re: Grand Theft Auto IV

I remember I proceded to steal a Banshee in front of a Cop.....Well I got one star...I threw it into reverse and smashed the cops knee caps against his car...My stars jump to 3. I proceded to the air Field and drove on the Air stip. I jumped to 4 stars with Swat Cars and FBI on my tail. Well I drove to where the police Helicopters are in the Airfield hoping there was one still left, and sure enought there was. I jumped into it and proceded to take off just in time. 3 swat cars and 2 FBI cars smashed into each other at top speed A** soon as I lifted off trying to ram me in my helicopter. The FBI cars caught on fire and blew up takling out the SWAT cars with them...It has got to be one of the best scenes I have seen. I managed to climb and it looked like i was flying out of a ball of fire. I proceded to cut off two Helicopter Tails with my blade and then landed onto a Building and had 5 stars. I procended to take out my sniper and started sniping police in their face. Two helis came and I snaiped one of the Pilots out of the heli which crashed onto the building I was on and knocked me off a 3oo feet building. I landed on a swat vehicle and didn't servive. I laughed so hard durring the fall because my char was yelling like a girl.

ah man, so is there anything I can do about it? Or do I just have to cross my fingers and hope it doesn't freeze?

For the 360?

Sorry man, but there hasn't been any recent news about a patch for the 360. It was suppose to be in development but that was the last news over a week ago.

Some people here exchanged their copy and haven't had any problems. If you have a receipt, maybe do the same.

Re: **The Official Grand Theft Auto 4 Thread**

Yup, if you have a 360 version and it's freezing there isn't any fix. Get a new copy.

**Ice Cream Truck** · 05-12-2008, 08:39 PM

Re: **The Official Grand Theft Auto 4 Thread**

I don't see a need for a patch for 360. I've been all the way through the game and nothing went wrong besides a few quick hiccups.

If you have a problem, it may just be a bad copy. If you have a ring on your disc then that is because you moved your 360 while playing, which can happen to any game.

Re: **The Official Grand Theft Auto 4 Thread**

gotcha, thanks for the advice guys. I played maybe two hours today and had four "unreadable disc" messages and one freeze-up. After the final disc error, I was able to play for about 45 minutes without any problems.

Luckily I saved my receipt. It's funny I almost threw it away and then I thought 'Nah, should keep this just in case.'

For people who got it at GameStop, did they give you a fresh copy in exchange or did they give you someone else's used copy and claim it was new but there was no wrapper on it?

People who have trouble getting away from the police...

Don't forget about Pay 'N Sprays. They saved me more times than I can remember.

I literally had one police chase that was about 6 or 7 minutes of me driving around the Pay 'N Spray trying to lose the cops long enough for me to sneak inside.
