if u want some credibility.

i thought this was going to happen since all of the other GTA games have the same problem. just hope they fix it

If they're smart they will patch it soon after it is released. All they need to do is change some of the coding to make it so the fps doesn't drop. Ted_Bundy000

I hope so too. By now, I'm sure GTA IV is already being pushed out for shipment and the quickest and smartest thing to do would be a patch. Sandbox game with slow framerate and screen tearing = BAD. And I really hope Rockstar addresses these issues soon and start working on a patch that resolve this issue immediately. There are going to be quite a few angry GTA IV owners.

The game will be patched if needed
