Exactly since today is GTA IV for the PC on the market. Man I'm looking forward to the game animal. How many hours I have in GTA: San Andreas spent. The game offers so many possibilities. Would like to know the exact number of hours I did not, because otherwise I'd probably fall over. Everything was great in San Andreas. But what is it now with GTA IV?

The game collected in the press some fantastic scores. This was true only for the consoles. Now the PC'ler it and thus also the first dive on technical problems. GTA is to deny the 4870 and 4850 from AMD / ATI service. But that's nothing compared to the copy-activation Gehampel.

The installation is running peacefully across the screen. But after that it is only the beginning. Besides the main game need be installed Rockstar Games Social Club, Flash,. NET Framework, Games for Windows, among other things. Well, against the. NET interface I do not say anything. But when I hear that this Social Club and Games for Windows MUST install in order to even start the game (if it starts), I flip out.

I have provided it but practically. SecuRom is crap. Emulation software is criticized, even though it is not installed. Hello? And if it is installed, they are off. Yes, but what interests a game that I have on my computer, if it does not intervene into the game? Emulation software is not always intended for illegal things. When I look at as the latest open source DVD down load, I do not always use a blank disc. Those things are not there for nothing after all.

That we have to then log on several things need to get going at all times may, sharpens things still. I'll continue my philosophy: SecuRom I can not get on the computer! And I think even in a game like GTA, even if it is (once started) terrific.

Particularly excited the fans are not. If you look on Amazon, the ranking for GTA has dropped significantly. Was it before 4-5 Stars, the ERGONUMIX commutes now at 2 stars. There are more 1-star reviews than others do. I quote a review times:

Who thinks now of being able to easily get started after installation, looks to be disappointed. No entry in the Start menu for GTA IV only for the forcible also installed "Rockstar Social Club." If you start the GTAIV.exe from the installation directory is also the first "Rockstar Social Club" was launched, the first request for registration or registration.

According Readme.txt do not live, so to "skip" clicked. But then offline games is still not finished because the Social Club insists on installing the latest version of Microsoft's "Games for Windows Live" version. This also downloaded and installed. According to the readme.txt, it should go without registration there, so I have not even made.

[...]
Then the next Hammer: Unable to save. This is only possible when logged in to the Games for Windows stuff is.

Rockstar to wake up!
