Grand Theft Auto IV Patch #1

The patch promised by Rockstar Games last Saturday is now available. Start your game and connect to LIVE to trigger the download. The patch is 32.6MB, takes a few minutes to install, and contains a variety of fixes including the following:

A fix to the crash after legal screen that some German customers were reporting.
Numerous improvements to the video editor: Smarter naming of videos, improved rendering quality, better fx during replays.
Fix to bowling while using certain sensitive mice.
Fix for ATI 1900 shadows.
Overall savings to memory.
Graphic improvements to particle systems and mirrors.
Multiplayer character settings are preserved.
Support for DirectInput controllers.

There is apparently an issue with the new patch that is causing problems for some gamers's controllers (both Mouse/Keyboard and Xbox 360 Windows controller). Rockstar has posted up a workaround over at the GTAForums.com message board.
