Grand Theft Auto 4 (GTA 4) Message Board  

Lmao i meant the actual game hard copy........lol

What worries me is that a lot of games are slowly migrating to GFW Live (or wtf theyre calling it now). Fallout 3 in itself as a game was awful to play because of the bugs (i stuck to the console for cheats as i couldnt even get the trainer to run without crashing) - GFW Title. GTAIV is a better game to play, but is clearly not optimised for anyones machine (I have quad cores @3ghz and a 8800GT, which should be more than enough). Another Games For Windows title. I'd like to point out that ive had no issues with gta4 other than fps drop.

Big Titles Coming out on GFW Brand

Alan Wake
Saints Row 2
Mafia 2

We have the two biggest titles of next year alone in that list (I know theres probably loads of big games i havent heard of on GFW too.)

What worries me is whilst I dont doubt your ability (ive seen some excellent trainers), if Microsoft is hindering these attempts now and making it near impossible to create trainers, what does the future hold for us if (and prob when with these roger hunts) every developer migrates to M$ standards.

GTA4 as i understand it, is mainly problematic due to all this crap theyve coded into it (something that people debate affects the performance of the game), and its not GFW thats hindering Calibur and PWizard. However there were issues with previous games (namely Fallout3).

Id like to point out that this is not a post bashing anyone etc. Im just voicing my concern, as I occasionally make trainers myself (using a memory tool admittedly) and have noticed how much more difficult it has become. I havent been able to make anything useful for any of the games for windows titles.

Good luck guys,

Stee

Oh and for reference
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Games_for_Windows_titles

sucks that it's so hard for this game.

I've heard that even the modding people are finding it difficult to do anything to the game. Rumor is your going to have to use a hacked EXE just to mod the game.

Hope you guys can get something to work. in all honesty if the only possible cheat is god mode than i'll be happy with that lol.

er... i guess i'll have to wait

guess i'll have to make a lot of phone calls aka cheats.

i rather want money than god mode.

you dont get much money early in the game.

besides you can fill up your hp with mobile phone cheats.

If you can get anything even remotely working by the sounds of it that would be one hell of an achievement even if its just "basic" trainer stuff like god mode and money.

Good luck to you as it does sound like Rockstar have gone to a great deal of effort to lock down this game3

Thx for the update Caliber. I'm sure you will hack thru the GFW crap and make a wonderful trainer.

Though I am curious. Is it possible to make a trainer that just uses the ingame cheats. I'm ok without having actual god mode and money, but if you could make a trainer that just lets you activate the ingame cheats without having to use your phone would be very helpful. I can't count the number of times I wished that I didn't have to use the phone to lower my wanted level when I have cops shooting at me.

I bought the game, so I really don't worry about the copy protection, but the game have already been cracked, so the extra protection from Rockstar is wasted.

I have been sitting for hours myself looking at this game, and trying to find ways around certain things, but came up empty.

the thing I hope the most for is an option keeping friends in a good mood, I enjoy exploring, and I am getting a bit annoyed about having to keep everybody in my phonelist in a good mood

Keep up the good work, been a happy member for a long time now, and I am looking forward to the trainer that you guys will make sooner or later
