For those of you who've had issues with Grand Theft Auto IV on the PC, you may find a little happiness today, with Rockstar's release of the 1.0.3.0 patch for Grand Theft Auto IV. The patch addresses a number of issues, including important fixes for the ATI 1900 series of video cards, some performance tweaks, and a number of refinements on the control front - including the ability to use multiple controllers.
Other minor changes see enhancements to the Video Editor, the correction of some errors that were introduced by the previous update, and the introduction of some new security measures that should prevent those with modified game files from accessing multiplayer. The patch weighs in at just under 55MB, and you can download it now from our trusty file mirror.
