GTA series - whats the best of the bunch

[undercovergeek]

Yeah, it is easy (sorry, I should have included the link).  Just download this:

Download XLiveless here:  http://gtaforums.com/topic/388658-relgtaiv-xliveless/

Extract the file and move the xlive.dll (I think that it what it is called, there is a readme if I have the name wrong) to your Steam/GTA4 folder.

Start the game but don't sign in to the GTA social club (choose the play offline option).  The game will now run without GfWL and you will be able to autosave and save your game as designed. 

Another tip:  GTAIV doesn't have any anti-aliasing, so the game looks horrid at times.  However, if you go into your nVidia or AMD control panel, you can force anti-aliasing on.  It made for a noticeable improvement for me:



Not as good as native AA, but it is something.

so at the minute, you drive to your house, go to the bed and save the game

is there no, random, anytime, anywhere save?

You can save when you go to your home, yes, but the game should also be auto-saving every time you complete a mission.  Make sure "auto-save" is on in the options if you are not seeing that.  As for a quick-save, no, I don't think that is available.  That annoys me too.

The only time the lack of a quick save really bugged me was on the bank heist mission.  I must've failed that one a dozen or so times before I finally made it through.  Sucked that you had to go pick up Paki and listen to his inane drivel as you drove to the bank over and over again.  At least the devs switched the dialogue up a little each time.

You are ahead of me.  I didn't even get that far yet.   ;)

Yay! I am still completely flummoxed by console controllers. Gimme WASD and Mouse, and I'll give you (more) money.
