Until a patch is released, it seems your only option is to sell your 60GB and go buy a new 40GB.

you would think which ever mod moved it would use their common sense and accept that the biggest game of the year will attract a lot of posts and leave it in GD. Seems not

I can understand that to a point Stu but GTA 4 is quite a hot topic everywhere at the moment and on most forums you don't have to pay to read the Computer/Gaming section

There a load of GTA4 posts that isnt in the computer/console room that were in GD a few days ago?

Can someone start a GTA4 thread, as im sure there will be LOADS of questions on how to do shit etc, same as on all the other previous ones.

And about multiplayer stuff too, as that will be fun, not like ive ever tried multiplayer yet...

Found this on another forum earlier mate...

"Think I've solved the problem!!!

Found it on a quiet little gaming site after searching all day. Wipe out your save data (including the auto save) and the installed game data. Switch off the console and disconnect the power as well. Then restart as normal but DON'T connect to the internet. Install the game as before , making sure you're not net connected...this seems to be the source of the corrupt install file as I noticed when I did it the last 3 time sthat my router was going haywire with PS3 traffic. I also made sure the autosave feature in the game is also disabled as this was recommended as well. Just had it on 4 hours and not a single crash or even a stutter in the frame rate! Superb!!!"

It's something to do with data that's stored on the HD to save loading screens and some of the 60GB HD's cause problems.. 360's can clear their cache (Sp) and it helps.

It's FAR FAR more technical than that.. but that's I understood lol

Edited to add: Thank fuck you didn't lose all your data, when I heard I was like SHITE I've been telling folk to erase their game saves
