There are problems being reported on the
Steam
Users' Forums by users trying to run the just-released Windows edition of
Grand Theft Auto IV, leading to a couple of sticky threads on a
Missing Textures Issue and simply
How To Get GTAIV Running. Also,
Kotaku notes a considerable outcry over problems with the game on the
GTAForums and
GTAGaming.
There's a statement from Rockstar on
GTAGaming
saying: "We are aware that a small number of fans are having problems running
GTA IV on their PC’s and we would like to assure them we are working to help
solve these as quickly as possible." In the meantime they recommend contacting
technical support through phone numbers in the user manual and consulting
rockstargames.com/support/
for helpful information. This support information includes
a graphics settings explanation and details on
all of the game's error codes.
