Grand Theft Auto IV for the PC has only just been released in North America and Europe, but it appears that gamers have been struck down with a fatal error already which is preventing playing some aspects of the game.
The error gamers are getting is ‘gta iv fatal error mma10’, and it is occurring when you first install the game and are going through the set up stages. Reports over from the official gamesforwindows forums suggest that this problem is internet related and that Rockstar are currently suffering from server problems.
There does seem to be a temporary fix to the problem however as gamers are suggesting that if you skip the ‘Rockstar Social Club’ portion and do not log into it, you’ll be able to carry on through the single player mode of the game.
We will keep you up to date with any fresh news about the error. Are people still having problems with the game? Leave your comments below if you have anything that will help other readers.

I’m having lots of problems. Besides the error when you have to log in to socialclub, The game runs very bad on my PC, even though it’s perfectly powerful enought to run the game. I am also having problems with the grafics.. Sometimes the buildings, etc. just dissapear and I can’t see anything. I really hope that Rockstar fixes all the problems SOON!
Damn i downloaded service pack 3 for windows XP, I did all the stuff I read on the internet, but I can’t play because Rockstar Social Club says im not connected to internet!!! FUCKING ENNOYING! I hope they gonna fix these errors SOON, because I won’t everever buy a rockstar game at the releasedate anymore. Let all the hardcore gamers tell them their software SUCK! so they fix it and then the normal people can buy the fucking game…
I have been waiting for gta 4 on pc since last so many months and i got it today when it came out but m really disappointed by it that it doesnt work on my pc.It is showing a fatal error RESC10 which means out of video memory..but i just bought a new laptop last month…i can`t play the game at all……i tried skipping social club but still it doesnt helps….can anyone help me out?
i have errors to, it doesnt even ask for an activation code(or i just dont know what site i have to go for that)
if i try to logon, i can for once, in the rockstar games special club.
then i pres “play” and then i get this error: internal error: couldn’t init richedit 2.0
(i got vista home premium)
Hey when i first got the game i ran it on a xp we had to upgrade it a whole bunch and then it worked fine ne fatel error but then i built my own computer so i could play it on high graphecs well i used windows vista because of my 6 gigs of ram bad mistake now i am getting an error in the middle of my game fist of all the music jumbles up but the game is fine then it just shuts my game down and said fatal error
The game is full of the aforementioned error. You CAN get around it by not logging into the social club, HOWEVER, don’t expect to save your progress. Yes, you need to log into a Windows LIVE account to save; how stupid is that? Doesn’t mention THAT on the box… Trying to log into LIVE generally crashes the game in a different, but same end result.
Wait…wait a while on this one…or overlook it entirely, if solely based on the broken anti-piracy crap…and they wonder why people still steal these games, when people like me who rush to buy are screwed outright.
Ok, so the only type of games I buy are Rockstar and the need for speed series as well as some ubisoft ones such as far cry. Anyways this is SH*T.
I bypass the error by not using the club thingy but the game runs terribly bad. Graphics are completely messed up. My graphic card is a NVIDIA Geforce 7950 GT and I have at least 6 gb ram. Nothing should stop this game from running. I already shut off my second screen and it didn’t change a thing.
These problems aren’t fixable through the internet… are they going to pull back and bring out a better version or something?
