Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA 4) Message Board  

Keep up the good work guys! I'm sure someone of your...caliber...can do us proud!! Thanks so much for all the work you do!!

Well I just hope with all the work Cal is doing he can come up with a trainer. but in all fairness Cal has always without fail come up with really reliable trainers, the Red Alert 3 trainers for example. So if Cal doesn't put one together its no big deal to me. Besides even with or without a trainer I hate to say this but I may not even be able finish this game as it is. LOL Well now I'm off to Command & Conquer the world!

Knightpress, the didn't ALL steal the game. There's a particularly aggressive version of Securom bloat-ware packed into the game along with the Social Club bloat-ware also. The securom has very specifically given a lot of people problems with running the game. Not everyone that uses a crack, no-cd patch, or etc., is a pirate. Some of us just can't run the game on our computers for whatever wierd random reason with some of the DRM out there.

It's like if you have this GPU, and that MB, along with this RAM, and the phase of the moon isn't right when you install, then you get problems. I dunno. I was one of those people, I got lucky to find a crack that worked and now I can play the game. It's not MY fault that Securom sucks, but had I complained on the official forums about the camera, I would not have automatically admitted to being a pirate. Just the possibility of being a pirate. Which is, in actuality, a HUGE difference.

People must understand LIVE makes coding difficult. Whining about the whole ordeal, and acting like you're a company spokesman and debating on policies and regulations is not going to get you guys anywhere. In all fairness, developers rarely pay attention to forum matters when it comes to what they should or shouldn't do --unless it's something they have control over. Live is something Microsoft and Rockstar BOTH utilized period to prevent cheating. Also note, if you use trainers constantly on PC versions, you will NOT be banned as opposed to using exploits/cheats on console. Fancy that hu? Just sit tight folks. It will be here soon.

What's sad about all this is I remember an interview a while back when they first started discussing GTA 4 for PC... and one of the things they said was PC would support a modding community... Now I look at it and I'm like.. really? -.-

Personally anything i own, if it has drm sh*te in it, restricting the amount of installs i can have etc (i end up formatting my pc a lot because i have a habit of filling it with crap, and programs end up blue screening me from time to time **cough**kaspersky **cough**) i will get a nocd when it comes out. I own the game ive purchased a legit copy, why should i be told i can install x amount of times?? I should be able to install it as many times as i want. With my large collection of games it becomes a hassle to find the cd everytime i want to play (I know i should sort them alphabetically but meh. I dont want to be searching through the shelves, or digging them out of a box to be able to play them. I considered getting spore for instance, then when i heard about this 3 installations i think it was i decided not to bother.

True piracy is ripe, and nocds dont help the industry, but the industry doesnt help itself by making playing a game difficult for the end user.

And if you expect me to call the companies everytime i need a new activation... Well feel free to pay my phone bill.

Back on topic

anyone got any macro settings files for a logitech g15 so that for instance i can press one of my macro keys and my health is replenished?

Stee01, I have a Razer Lycosa and I can set up a macro on any key I want... but the game doesn't register the "macro" keypresses on my keyboard... Do you know for sure that the macros would work on the G15? And if they do it should be as simple as a macro that would bring up the phone (pressing up twice) then dialing the numbers on the keypad. (In this case 3625550100.) I would recommend at least a 100ms delay between keypresses though, because I've slapped the code out on the numpad too fast for the game to read on my own, that is if you can set a delay between keypresses.

Edit: I tried setting it up like that, and with arrow key/enter dialing with the phone up and neither does anything on my keyboard with the macros.

Haven't tried it yet, will get back to you when i get the time to check. Never tried my macro keys on my keyboard before though, probably because every other developer has the courtesy to not make it so difficult to create trainers for the game.

Isnt the idea of gta on the pc so we can mod the damn thing?
