Depuis la sortie le 3 décembre dernier, les choses se sont heureusement arrangées avec la publication de deux mises à jour revenant sur les principaux problèmes de stabilité ou de compatibilité. Pour nombre d'utilisateurs, ces modifications ne sont toutefois pas suffisantes et c'est logiquement qu'un troisième patch est aujourd'hui publié. Il est question d'apporter diverses optimisations graphiques / physiques, de revenir sur la prise en charge des périphériques de contrôle et sur des problèmes avec l'éditeur vidéo.
Nous vous proposons évidemment de récupérer cette mise à jour estampillée v1.0.3.0 directement depuis nos serveurs et vous invitons à faire part de vos impressions sur le forum. Grand Theft Auto 4 est-il enfin jouable pour l'immense majorité des joueurs PC ?
