GTA4 PS3 patch released.

From Rockstar Games: “Rockstar Games has released a GTA IV patch for PlayStation 3 today that prevents GameSpy’s servers from being overloaded and therefore reduces the impact on those servers that were causing the game to stutter and lock up. We continue to monitor the performance of the game both on and offline and will provide further updates as necessary. We want to assure everyone that, together with our hardware partners, we continue to strive to give our fans the best possible interactive entertainment experiences possible. This update will ensure that everyone will experience Grand Theft Auto IV the way it was intended. We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.”

 

Like always, when you play the game you will be prompted to download and install the ~18 meg patch.

Yeah.. 18 meg patch to fix too many packets smacking a server?  Not.   18 megs isn’t just a code fix.  18 megs of code is HELL of a LOT of lines of code.  No, 18 megs is graphics and other assets.

so bottom line is.. Rockstar should have just said: ‘oops, sorry’
and not try to blame GameSpy for the issues.
