^ faulty discs from what they saying over at the GTAforums, if a reinstall doesn't fix it, then go change the discs.
How u can change discs as pc games are not exchangeable and u can get refund out of them ?

Yer, it runs OK and that's about it.
In certain places it'll max out at around 71 FPS but in other places and times when it rains, the FPS will drop to around 20 - 28. If the patch does what it says its going to do, then just 10 FPS on top of the lowest should make it more than playable for me.
Patch Is On The Way
We are working on making a patch available in the next few days. Since Grand Theft Auto IV is a Games For Windows – Live game the patch must be certified by Microsoft before release. The patch is already at Microsoft and we expect a speedy approval.
The patch contains a variety of fixes including:
-A fix to the crash after legal screen that some German customers were reporting.
-Numerous improvements to the video editor: Smarter naming of videos, improved rendering quality, better fx during replays
-Fix to bowling while using certain sensitive mice
-Fix for ATI 1900 shadows
-Overall savings to memory
-Graphic improvements to particle systems and mirrors
-Multiplayer character settings are preserved
-Support for DirectInput controllers. Note: The current hack way of supporting these controllers may not work with the improved functionality. So we recommend you remove the hack before upgrading to the patch.
Issues with power management software have also been fixed (slow speed, double speed issues). Even after the patch comes out setting power management software to maximum performance is recommended. We’ve seen cases where power management software does not detect the game is running and puts the CPU in green mode.
So nothing to improve the actual performance of the game.
-Overall savings to memory

I just downloaded the XP32 version of 180.84, it shows as a 72meg file & when I got to the Nvidia install I selected 'run' & it extracted the files & suddenly changed to Fraps installer WTF?
Mine didnt work the 1st time, but did the second.Start > Run > type in regedit
Then go to Edit > Find and type in Controller (Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows) then enter.
Right Click on OEMName and select Modify... In the Value Data it will say Controller (Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows) Change it to XNA Gamepad and hit Enter.
Turn your wireless pad ON and go to Game Controllers in the Control Panel. If it still says Controller (Xbox 360 Wireless Receiver for Windows) then you need to go back and edit the registry again. When its worked your wireless 360 Controller will show as "XNA Gamepad".
Run regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > Rockstar Games > Grand Theft Auto IV
Your key is on the right
