GTA IV Freezing Issues
I've had my game totally freeze my XBOX about 5-6 times, sometimes in multiplayer and single player.
It just locks up. I cleared the cache and its still done it. I undertstand its an issue with the game. Anyone else having similar issues? Keep your ears buttered up while I set fire to the rain! |

Yeah i had a couple of freezes on my 80gb PS3 one when quitting another on a mission. But for the most part it runs good. I think other GTA's froze sometimes so i think it's nothing new. I have seen a lot of posts about the freezing issue with both consoles and it seems 20/60gb PS3's are the ones with the most freezes on PS3 i don't know about 360 much but i bet it's early models. Hopefully they will patch out the issue though.

Grif, I've gotten a new 360 Elite and haven't had any issues in months with any games...
Seems like the GTA thing is happening to a number of people. It played OK for about an hour earlier today. Keep your ears buttered up while I set fire to the rain! |

Same, I think you just may have a dud copy bro.

One suspicion i have is it's something in the coding. Another one is maybe this freezing has something to do with the online because i think it connects to the server when you load the game. I played for more than 5 hours without it freezing but it did freeze those 2x another time playing. Well the one when i was quitting my PS3 made 3 beeps and rebooted and i was logged off thats why i think it might have to do with online maybe. The same mission gave me no problem when i played it again.

My ps3 has been running fine so far on my 60 gb (knock on wood), however it was purchased only about 6 months ago. It may be the older 60gb that have troubles. Still cant get online yet though and im dieing too.

I was online all night last night for the most part. If you can't get online make sure you not behind a firewall. I also haven't had another freeze and my PS3 was on GTA IV for over 8 hours last night even when i went and played Socom CA on my PS2 i left it paused lol.
