According to a Take-Two customer support representative, Rockstar’s development team is “working around the clock” on what is presumably a patch for the freezing issues that a sizable number of PlayStation 3 and (to a lesser degree) Xbox 360 owners are experiencing with their copy of Grand Theft Auto IV.

A patch is being worked on around the clock to address the issues. It’s bound to be. That’s how they address this sort of thing. It is being worked on. We’re looking into it. You will hear from us if a patch is released. A patch is usually the way it’s been done.

Still no word in regards to what exactly is causing the problem. However, the support rep did suggest trying to play without being connected to the internet, as well as turning off the game’s auto save and controller vibration features.
