GTA IV (not released yet)

[Sauron]

In checking the latest news on GTA IV for PC it shows the multiplayer will use the Games for Windows - Live platform.

Will it be possible to host this commercially and what to expect ?

That's a good question, anybody already tried it ?

TCAdmin Game Configuration Files section?

[Sauron]

Answer is simple. No dedicated server file.

It's a shame really, only poor peer-to-peer and possibly a handful of MS-hosted servers nowhere near anyone.

 

Considering the client requirements, I wouldn't be surprised if had they released a dedicated server for it that the resource usage would exceed FC2.

Hopefully someone may (he says hopefully, tentatively) put together an unofficial on, simmilar to that of san-andreas...

 

We can but dream

It's going to be a lot, lot harder to do so for IV, but we can still hope.

I am no GTA expert, but isn't the GTA San Andreas multiply player just a mod? So after the game is released you have to wait for the MP mod before even doing a config?

That's correct, but the OP was asking about if dedicated servers are possible with IV.
