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.

It really pains me to see that people like myself who think that supporting the gaming industry by going out and purchasing their highly over priced game, are screwed, and cant even play the game. There has been no official statements from Rockstar as of yet, explaining this situation, nor has there been any indication of them working on a solution.
This may be the last time I ever consider buying a Rockstar game. If Rockstar truly want to make more money they should worry less about the pirates and more about keeping the people that payed for the game at least able to play the fking game. So that they buy more games.
Im sure that this incident has turned many of us honest patrons of the game industry to piracy. This sort of treatment from such a large gaming company really is not very appreciative of their customers.
I have been waiting for ages too and as an IT technician I think this stinks.
I’m using a high end xps laptop with more than enough hardware to piss on this game but it doesn’t work at all.
On vista I only had the socil club icon in start menu and desktop but on xp I got other icons for the game.
Benchmark sucks as it is all choppy ghosted and totally slow and off colour with everything looking blue and semi transparant even at lowest possible settings. On vista the benchmark crashes all together.
The biggest problem is that although the game starts on xp after the benchmark has finished when you just go to START from the main screen it just keeps cycling the loading screen pictures and NEVER loads.
It doesn’t matter what OS you use, the damn game stinks all round so I hope they fix all these problems soon.
my game works to the point where you start your first mission you can move around but the textures are missing (all i see is water and the car) which is bullshit, this is a fucking anoying bug.
I have been having the same problem, go to play the game and “…GTA 4 Fatal Error: MMA10…”, so I followed Rockstars advice, not sign-in to that crappy Social Club (so much for the social part!), and then I get “…GTA 4 Fatal Error: RESC10 …”.
Oh and why the hell would a developer make a game that you can only save when online, ummm, come on guys, you have experience in the gaming field….let’s get this sorted, maybe a fixed server and a patch sometime SOON!
Is Rockstar fucking retarded? For real, we need some fucking rockstar Live to play GTA 4 when every body has been waiting for it to come out? “ROCKSTAR SAYS: OHH THIS GAME IS SO FUCKING AWESOME, YOU GUYS GONNA SHIT YOURSELVES CAUSE IT’S SO GOOOOD…AND…AND…UUHHHMMM…WE GONNA SCREW YOU GUYS…sorry…” WHAT’ THE FUCK!!! Fucking rockstar! If I could get away with anything I’d shove that fucking game up their asses so far up, they would bleed non stop for amonth from their assholes. Who gives a rat’s ass about online gaming, we want to play single player. Now they release a fucked up game, take the money, and ohh…sorry guys you’ve cracked the game you can’t get a refund. I gues some people got lucky by associating the game. I’ve tried to get it to work manually, the unlock code don’t work, neither does the serial code. G?ODDAMN fucking rockstar, I was a dedicated fan. We all should do something about this, I don’t know what and it’s not worth to get in trouble over 50 bucks, but I sure as hell don’t want these faggots to get away. They’ve probably collected millions of dollars by now. Friggin…cumeaters. ..!.. Gonna go back to play Stalker. Rockstar can take their fucking game and shove it up their HAIRY ASSES.
@Ethan Forster: I feel the same. I am willing to pay for Games as I understood that intellectual property should not be stolen (as I did before), just to get this kind of crap.
Well, guess what… I will not buy any Rockstar game anymore, but download them. And yes Rockstar, your protections don’t help: it’s just like Antibiotika. The more you add protection, the more hackers are happy to crack them! You are fueling them instead of being smart as Valve!!
I have the exact same problem as you Oliver (December 4th, 2008 3:50 am)
choppy ghosted and totally slow and off colour with everything looking blue and semi transparant even at lowest possible settings.
I guess we can’t do alot about it. the more people send mails to rockstar the faster they will react. and if you really want to light a match or 5 between their toes Jett, you can try to get media attention. that always freaks out corporations.
you guys should be happy you can even start up and play the single mode, -.- i dont even get the installation right, it never ask me for a activate code, when i press play i get a fckn error
