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 do not even hand me … comes out an error message: Fatal Error rmn40 (sorry grammar but resulted from a program) hello
notime on December 4th, 2008 11:31 am => what’s worse, not being able to even get onto the game or being able to get onto the game, having a taste from the game and then not being able to eat it. Teasing someone with food or not giving them is a good metaphor.
At least rockstar recognized the problem and claims to be working on a future game patch. (future sound bad thow)
without to read each single post here, for that LIVE logon problem,
make sure you iexpore.exe (yes your internetexplorer) is NOT in “work offline” mode + is NOT blocked by your firewall!
I use firefox and i had blocked iexplore.exe + set to offline mode and it did not work.
coulnt simple login. solved by reallowing iexplore going online
(you still dont need to use iexplore.exe! stay with your safer alternatives!)
hope this solved someones gay hairs just before becoming totally bald!
Same problem with all……i was a big fan of rockstar before i bought dis fucking game but i aint buying any of their games in future at all……it is a fucked up game….spend monry but what i got is a piece of shit……really disappointed by it…
cant even play it…it crashes with an error RESC10……but my computer meets all the requirements whhich this game wants but still its fucking up …..
need to do sumthing abt it peeps …dunno wat?
To hell with rock *

I get error: rnm20
wtf?
I’ve emailed the rockstar support yesterday at around 2130 and they’ve replyed saying that they’ll contact me with the answer to my problem which was: the serial code and the other code are not working, can’t associate the game, can’t get the game to run online or offline, basically can’t do jack shit w/it other than…asking myself over and over again WHY DID I BUY THIS FUCKING GAME???!!! AAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I haven’t heard anything from rockstar yet, and I really reaaaallllyyyyyy hope to hear from them w/in the next 40 min which is when the 24 hr period runs out. Anyway gotta get back to studying, got finals tomorrow.
Hopefully they’ll fix the game or recall it alltogether. I have a feeling that they’re going to say they’re not responsible….aaaaaaaaaand they’re not obligated to return the money back to those whose game does not run….aaaaaand they’re gonna feed us a bunch of bullshit like “get a new vid card or a new computer or…WTF they’re gonna come up with.
READ THIS :
Update your GRAFIC-CARD drivers , even if you dont need to , that worked for me , and i got the error , “RESC10″ ..
Now i can play the game . I play it on 1280×1024 on a 19″ screen ( not wide one ) , and my pc is not slow at all , just build it up late 2008 with all the new stuff , and the game freezes time to time , waste of time .
I hope RS comes out with a Update Patch to fix all those problems , the game deserve it , but also to make US , the buyers , come back for the next GTA ….
So people , update your grafic-card drivers , re-boot the pc and give it a go , it worked for me .
I bought this game yesterday. Updated to servicepack 3, installed .net framework 3.5 and updated ATI drivers to latest version. Then installed this game, registered myself with social club, updated windows games Live with newest version and activated game online successfully.
I meet the specs to run this game, everything i launch it though i just get a:
“Grand Theft Auto IV has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.”
Tell me Rockstar, why is it harder to run a game that you originally buy nowadays then to download a cracked version? Really screw this! I am all for supporting companies that make great games, but really feel screwed now. I can not even play a game that i paid for. I am returning this to the shop and getting my money back. Fuck you rockstar, i will never buy another game from you!
