GTA 4 PC quick solves and hints VGA issues

[[M]av3r!cK]

If you are one of the many running into problems with GTA 4. Here are a couple of solves you can try out:
Issue 1 - Fatal Error MMA10 on saving the game.

Possible Solution 1 - Sign out of the Rockstar Social Club, on starting the game skip the login . This allows the game to start. If you are connected to the internet, you will be prompted to login to Game For Windows Live (GFWL). If you login to this the game will save with out issues.

However if you are not connected to the internet, GFWL has an offline mode. If you try to save at your safe house, it will advise you to login. From here choose YES and the game will appear to freeze for a second, hold down the Alt and press Tab to go back to your desktop. You will see the option to sign into GFWL Offline mode, do this and then ALT + Tab back into the game. This should allow you to save, although it may take you to the beginning of the game.


Possible Solution 2 - Install .net Framework 3.5 may need to be installed first.

Issue 2 - Graphical distortion using an NVIDIA 7900 video card

Solution - Install and use the latest beta [COLOR=#000080 ! important][COLOR=#000080 ! important]driver[/COLOR] for the 7 series video cards. As usual we need to offer a disclaimer on using beta drivers.

• Windows Vista (64 bit) - 180.60

Issue 3 - General crashes/freezes
