Check you didn't switch your phone off and if no-one else has got missions available, press escape and check 'Brief' to see if there's anything you've got to do.
Have any of you got to 100% yet?

I tried GTA4 when it was new but i got bad performance back then.
8400 4870 4 gig ram.
I want to try it one more time but before i do i want to know if its even worth it...
Whats new with this game, have the patches fixed the problem, or some new drivers from ATi?
Is there any haxx that fix things ?

It should work okay on your system, just run it at a good resolution and don't push the draw distance too far (it's a killer in performance, and doesn't make the game that much better to play anyways).
Patches (3 so far) have improved the performance slightly, and given more gfx customization options. The only haxx you'll see is the people hacking on multiplayer. Although, the last patch has toned it down a bit.

@explosiv: yes.
I know it's a pain to look but a while back a link was posted to gtaforums...
Basically, update the game to 1.0.3., then get the xliveless mod thing (removes the windows live component in the game entirely), and then use the rzr 1.0.2. crack and that works fine for Singleplayer.
Be warned, there are some custom triggers that RZR didn't get past, so if your missions seem to be f*cking up because of missing events (the mission where you get the car for vlad seems to be the first one you'll notice) it's because of the crack, though i'm not sure if they are evident in the 1.0.3. title update version.

Those triggers were fixed in their second patch crack, and do not appear in if you use the crack with the new patch either.

The game do run better now for me! I still think that if AA would have been possible this game could have looked very nice, now it only looks good.
But the gameplay is very fun so far, i miss that you cant design your car anymore.
One question, how do i get the "mp3 station" to work?
I move some mp3 to the c:/User/doc/GTA4/blabla and turned on the independent station, but still no luck. Any ideas?
Also, anyone know about any good mods? A mod that made weapons deadlier, booth for the player and the enemys would be very nice.

After you've stored shortcuts somewhere in my documents, you have to scan them in the game (options->audio), then turn on independence fm and listen.

Finally finished it yesterday, my impressions on this:
- Great characters, setting and a good story(even if it wasn't that hard to surpass all the "gangsta" crap from San Andreas). Everything from their background story to the voice acting is top notch. And like someone said when the first trailer was released: "Well, he has a strong eastern european accent, but at least this time I can understand what he and the other charecters are saying as opposed to the yoyoyoheyhomesI'llbussacapinyoassnigga from San Andreas".
- Gameplay is really good too. In the beginning the way the vehicles were handled was hard to get into, but the fact that this time I'm using a controller(with that 360 controller
emulator) helped out a lot. That and the fact that I found a Turismo pretty close to my house at the beginning, which is probably the most accessible super-car when it comes to handling and has a pretty good top speed. Later you'll get the Infernus, which is probably the best super-car in both speed and handling. The combat parts, on the other hand, are pretty difficult(at least to me) with a controller so I used the mouse for aiming in those.
- The media from the game, at least the radio stations since I didn't watch that much television, are top notch. My favorites are Vladivostok, Journey and especially all of the Weazel news spots which are just hilarious. The shows, both the club and the stand up ones are great too(although the stand up from RickY Gervais wasn't that funny IMO).
- The minigames are also pretty good, especially pool which is really fun especially if you ignore the auto-aim(when the game chooses the angle for you to take the shot). Bowling and darts on the other hand are much less challenging but still fun.
- The friends system is also good IMO. Could be better balanced, since sometimes you went days without hearing anything from and all of a sudden a couple of them would call in to go out, just when you were in the middle of a mission. The abilities you got from them if you achieved enough disposition were useful and worth it though. At least the ones I got from Roman and especially Little Jacob.
- Performance could be MUCH better, even for a low-end machine like mine(E4400@2.6GHz, 8800GTS 320MB and a moderately fast SATA2 HD). To run the game with acceptable performance I had to turn all the shadows off, otherwise it would slow down to 15-20 fps; not that much big of a deal since shadows don't really add up that much to the game to me. In fact, without them the game resembles much to GTA3 with better models, textures and shading but I have no problem with that.
Despite all the issues, especially the ones regarding performance, this is a great game and was totally worth the wait.
EDIT: Forgot to mention an important thing; I had ZERO problems with this game(my problems a few posts back turned out to be OS related). Zero CTD's, zero BSOD's, zero glitches and slowdowns. Come to think about it, could it be that R* made the choice to have a more stable but more hardware demanding game versus a less demanding but less stable game?

My bad then. As for 100% complete, well, not really. At least for me.
After the ending I got bored pretty fast and uninstalled it. In a few months I'll have another go at it. I barely touched side missions like races(did a few with the Infernus, real easy), assassinations, internet, car thefts, etc.

Um... no.
It's an interesting game with a huge, living, world and it's fun -- but it's not an "amazing awesome sexy wonderful perfect" game, not by a long shot, and it isn't as fun as SR2. Nor any of the previous 3D GTA titles either.
This is, of course, just my opinion.

And mine as well. They made a really nice world but without any incentive to actually explore it...

That's exactly it, mate! There just isn't enough to do in this huge, living, world to give me any reason to actually explore it. Once the huge mods start coming out (ones that radically alter the gameplay mechanics) then I'll no doubt enjoy it.
Right now I'm tinkering with a few other mods and they've made the game look AND perform better, but I'm sat playing and thinking "Ok, so now what? I can't take over businesses, I can't improve my character, I can't even store the fucking cars I steal! Seriously, what else do I do now except take my fat, whining, cousin out to dinner?"

Actually you can. 2 per safehouse. I have at least one Infernus parked at each.
But it would be nice to be able to have more than 6-8 car spots.

I love GTA IV, but I agree. I welcome all the new stuff, but why take away the old things that everybody loved? I understand it's a new engine and all, but maybe a DLC or a patch? (after the unreal 3 and burnout major updates it's not that fictional to hope for it...)
