Even with a patched file, things go wrong. Here is your troubleshooting checklist.
| Error Code | Cause | Fix |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |

| 80029530 | PKG is corrupted or downloaded incompletely. | Re-download the patched PKG. Ensure your USB drive has no bad sectors. |
| Black screen after mission | The patched version might have an unstable mod. | Install a separate "stability patch" PKG (v1.08 official update) after the base patched game. |

| KEN Mode error (HEN users) | HEN requires specific patches for anti-ban. | Use a "HEN Edition" patched PKG. Standard CFW patches may not work on HEN. | gta iv pkg patched
