GTA4 LAN PC CO-OP

[stevovo]

I KNOW there is already a thread similar to this one, but I want a final answer as to whether gta 4 can be played on a LAN with 2 pc's ie NOT ONLINE but LAN.

Please someone please answer me as I have read a whole bunch of info and I cant find any solid yes or no.

I already have this game on xbox so the only reason I want to buy it for PC is if I can play on LAN.

YES

 

[stevovo]

THANKS

You're welcome,I play it often over Lan,even at work me and a friend often play at lunch hehe.

 

[stevovo]

That's good to hear. I definitely was not willing to pay R400 for it if I couldn't play LAN but now I think its gonna be worth it.

BTW does one have to validate it online before playing LAN? Like COD world at war?

Stevovo if you are looking for a brand new sealed copy, my friend would like to sell his, pm me for details if you are intrested

 

[stevovo]

You have to validate the game,even if you want to play singleplayer. You will also need the latest windows live and I would strongly recommend the patch as well.

 

[stevovo]

How big is the patch?

 

[Submolecule]

32.6 mb

 

[stevovo]

Oh ok. I thought it was gonna be huge considering all the problems everyone was complaining about

 

[Submolecule]

I also thought so,but people were exaggerating about all the problems in my opinion.

Dude, if you have a pc like mine and can't set everything to highest, then you can complain.

GTA4 still doesn't detect my 2gig vga ram...

Do you only have to validate the game once off after you install it? Or is it a case of every time you play? Reason I ask is cause I don't have net at home. . . But if I bought a copy and took it to mate's place to validate once off?

Scruff304 - Its a once off validation,after that you can play offline. I had a friend come to my house to validate his game because of the same reason.

Sharkbait - You do have a reason to complain,but some people didnt buy the game because of this and it is not that bad. Yes you and I couldnt play the game on the highest settings,but at least we could play the game.

Dont forget that you also need Service pack 3 to run the game stevovo.

What is so special about sp3?

I have the latest nvidia drivers already though (181 or something along those lines) so I'm safe there. I don't have sp3.

 

[Submolecule]

It wont run if you dont have SP3.

 

[stevovo]

Oh well, guess I'll have to go and waste some of my bandwidth now. * curses telkom *

It is available locally, if you have some local BW to wast...
