GTA IV Gets Multiplayer Patch

Kris Erickson • Jun 23, 2008 • Comments ()

Anyone who has played an online match in GTA IV for either console knows that the experience is far from perfect. Rockstar has made an effort today to ameliorate the problems with online play by releasing a patch intended to fix key aspects of the multiplayer experience. The update will be automatically downloaded and installed next time you log on to a multiplayer game. Among other things, the update fixes a scoring glitch in Cops and Crooks missions, as well as a number of fatal bugs that caused the game to hang.

Full list of fixes in new GTA IV patch:

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.
