REMEMBER: DEFRAG YOUR HARD DRIVE! You might have noticed that GTAIV, in its current state, has a lot of issues. So in this thread, I will attempt to list all of the known issues and solutions. Please feel free to suggest your own fixes for known issues. If you have a problem you can't solve, I suggest you create a new thread and trouble shoot it there. If you manage to fix it, let everyone know in this thread. It's very easy to solve a problem then simply go off and play the game without ever letting anyone else know how you fixed it. If you manage to fix a problem, let us know how you fixed it. Help the community out! The 'GET YOUR GTAIV WORKING' Checklist!
