Many Reports of Freezing Problems for GTA IV's DLC

Slashgamer Writes: "A /gamer reader named Max sent us some info about people having issues with Grand Theft Auto IV's downloadable content. In his email, he sent us a link to a gamefaqs' forum and the topic was about freezing problems with the "Lost and Damned" DLC.

Inside the link, some members of the forum who downloaded the extra content have had an unpleasant headache with the game. Apparently, a small portion of people have had freezing with the title.

For instance, drummer2170 said..."

Hmmm,

Many Reports of Freezing Problems = Apparently, a small portion of people have had freezing with the title.
(from summary of the article)

Think about it.

'Many' is an opinionated word...

Blaze9295682d ago

only problem i had so far with this DLC is yesterday was on this one mission, where I have to hijack the prison bus. I got on the bus but wasnt nothing happening. No mission objectives no nothing, so i had to restart. But freezing? nope

MicroSony4Life5682d ago

Its happened with lost and the dammed and Fable 2.

The fix is to download the game to your hard drive and play it from there, no more freezing.

Kind of sucks cause I have a 20 Gig and my memory is full now, Dammm you Microsoft.

BGDad5682d ago

EVERY 360 game is like this...

penguinhunter5682d ago

ummmm no...You stop living in your fanboy world!

starx5682d ago

I guess they didn't put their full effort into that dlc, and it shows. ill wait for their next full game to see their full support again. grand theft auto 5 can't come soon enough lol.

NMC20075682d ago

Are you talking about Rockstar the video game makers? Because if you are then that is exactly what you should expect, every GTA had serious problems, I cannot believe you are sitting here typing this BS, you act like this is the first time a Rockstar game has had problems, where the hell have you been? lol

JaggedSac5682d ago

Oh no, 5 people on the interwebz had problems. CATASTROPHE!?!?!?!

spandle5682d ago

I had mine freeze at the weekend, then RROD, then to top it off my laser went in my PS3. well they say it comes in 3's

madmike5682d ago

DARK WITNESS5682d ago

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies150d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken150d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing69151d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker151d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing69151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos151d ago (Edited 151d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt150d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken150d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.
