And still no word about Bully where you "even contacted the studio lead".

At least there should be less cheaters now. But that also means that there are even less people playing multiplayer.

Where's the SLI support??????

wuzzy · 03-21-2009, 07:53 AM

Holy burgershot, that looks like a good bunch of updates.

Good call on the input device support. Me gonna go start up the game and check it out for myself.

My game crashes while loading (after GFW:L loads, but before the Rockstar logo appears) now.

Great job Rockstar QA! (Failure!)

dawolf · 03-21-2009, 08:08 AM

Same here. Crashes to desktop before the R* Logo appears... WinXP SP3

03-21-2009, 08:11 AM

my game worked fine last night, now it crashes before the R logo. Good effort fellas but bleh

looks like crashes are happening all across the board

Metal-Geo · 03-21-2009, 08:14 AM

Crashes after Login. (Before Rockstar logo)

Sonikku · 03-21-2009, 08:16 AM

Also crashes here.

Might be the "German title screen" bug again? Game itself is set to English, but that German title screen appears. Bleh.

Zeitgeist · 03-21-2009, 08:16 AM

Crash confirmed, verifying the game cache in steam doesn't work either... ^^

This. Game now refuses to load past the legal notices.

AeonGrey · 03-21-2009, 08:20 AM

I am getting a crash to desktop after R* logo as well. Going to try to work on a fix.

p5ychokilla · 03-21-2009, 08:20 AM

Crashes here too, Windows 7 x64 7057. Same place (During the second Rockstar logo, the blue one). Very weird thing is I look at the error log on windows and it says Teamviewer crashed at that time, I wasn't even using Teamviewer then.

If the crash is so widespread, you have to wonder how it was cleared by QA.

Terrible.
