    Unlike generic crashes, RMN60 points to a DirectX 9 rendering failure. In plain English: GTA 4 is trying to use an old graphics method that your modern Windows OS or GPU driver no longer supports out-of-the-box. It can also occur if the game’s configuration file points to a screen resolution or refresh rate your monitor cannot handle.

    An outdated or unpatched version of GTA IV triggers RMN60. Ensure you have Patch 1.0.7.0 or 1.0.8.0 (the final patch).

  • Physical/Disc users: Download and install the official 1.0.7.0 patch from Rockstar’s website.

    • GTA IV’s executable expects legacy memory management. Forcing Windows 7 compatibility can resolve RMN60 on Windows 10/11.

    GTA IV leaks memory like a sieve. The "depth render target" error sometimes occurs when your system’s page file is too small, even if VRAM is fine.

    Do not skip steps. Start with #1, as it solves the problem for 80% of users.
