Grand Theft Auto IV, has had a rocky run since the start. Many of us had a smooth install and smooth gameplay from the getgo. But many people had issue that almost seemed to be unresolved. The forums at gtaforums.com  practically flipped upside down.

Many had the issue of over heating, or not enough memory, wrong service pack or poor drivers.

The online patch now allows us to ban people who join  games we serve.. Actually made to kick out jerks and cheaters.
