It can't be too long until rockstar release a patch. There's too many people being affected by the crashing for them to ignore it.
I guess it's good that we all have to play single-player first; at least we all have a chance to learn the city. I'm still on the first island anyway...
And I think it's normal for a game like GTA to freeze. There are no load screen transition whatsoever for anything. Everything is streaming seamlessly. That is what I think anyway.

"Rockstar, in their very finite wisdom designed the game to have no loading times. That's great, except for the fact that GTA IV now overloads the cache and causes a lock-up (freeze). So now, instead of saving load times and providing a seamless experience, Rockstar has forced some machines to crash while attempting to load from the cache."

I've asked my housemate who plays the game 4-5hrs a day whether he encountered any freezing or not but he said none so far. I rarely play because of my upcoming exam next week
Maybe you guys didnt have a constant stress test on the machine like running F@H for a straight year

You shouldnt have restarted the ps3 when installing. The ps3 will give an error code if it fails. A lot of shops provide lense replacement e.g Bernard from Gamers Solution

ouch... that would be a grave mistake. thanks for the info. Please dont die on me, i've yet to finish my beloved GTA. at least not before i can have a look at the liberty city heart.
juz now played wif eikan.. have lotsa fun.. but after finish playing deal breaker my GTA hang..zzz
haha great game, we test most all mode the deal breaker it great to earn money/level. if your ps3 hang, its due to PSN 'online' mechanism
Nexy time before u load gta4, sign off psn. and load the game. should be ok. u can login psn whenever u try to connect to gta4 mp. with luck u wont get freeze. else soft restart.
