[norbi1988]

Thank you R*

[Lodis]

Couldn't make up your mind on what version to call it eh ? It is good to see Toronto supporting GTA and FINALLY fixing game problems nearly 2 years after we started pointing them out. I might even be encouraged to reinstall GTA 4 and actually see if things have improved. However for now I think I will let others "experience" this patch before I go anywhere near it.

[bammargera]

Nice one, have you disabled modding again in this patch, or are you being even more kind to us and letting it lie?

[truehighroller]

GREAAAAT~! Thank you R*. I hope this resolves most issues we've all complained about.

[Hydro_PT]

Wow, I wasn't expecting another patch! This is great news, and it seems like you guys have been working really hard to get everything fixed.

It's unbelievable the support we had so far. The game was released 1 year and 4 months and you still keep trying to fix what you done wrong. I hope this patch fixes everything you say it will fix and I also hope that this one won't bring any new problems.

And of course I can't wait for Episodes From Liberty City. Let's hope you don't need so many patches on that one, right?

[Rockstar Toronto]

There have always been different version numbers for the updates. The last digit denotes the region the patch is for.

When we were given the opportunity to release another patch we made sure to look through these forums to address as many requests as possible.

Yeah I would like to know the same thing.

Nice versioning by the way, 1.0.6.0, 1.0.5.1, 1.0.4.2 ?

[NonToXIC]

Sounds good, R*. Looking forward to the release of the patch.

[GhostStorm]

I posted about it here before you did and was hit with a wall of doubt from people, so thanks for giving it the official word.

Initially I was going to add to your post Ghoststorm, but when we saw there was some doubt I decided to start this thread. Thanks for supporting us!

[Masny]

Your welcome.

I got the press release so I had to release the info anyway as I did here: http://www.ghoststorm.co.uk/episodes-from-...or-gtaiv-on-pc/

I thankyou however for posting it here too because now it proves I wasnt telling lies

Are you going to allow mods such as Liberty City First Response function as they currently do with patch 1.0.4.0 or are you not going to allow it as you did with patch 1.0.0.4?

[luceberg]

OMG, they put the moon back!

The game is already great, but this is even better!

[JigglyAss]

Hey R*
Say for example if we already have the original GTA 4 installed, can we just patch it and add the episodes from the disk to the original version that is installed already or do we have to install the episodes separately from the disk to play em?

Also, will we be able to switch from Niko's story to the episodes without having to start a new game, as in quit the current game and run a separate executable?
Thanks.
PS: Any more patches in the future or this is the last one?

[City_Poke912]

Nice R*, I'm waiting for EFLC, three days.

[mirmihir]

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THE MOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
