Rockstar Game Tips: Saying "Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic" (Grand Theft Auto IV)

Although the “Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic” Achievement/Trophy may not have the highest point value, it is still to this day one of the most difficult and most requested game tips in all of Grand Theft Auto IV. The basic synopsis says, ”Win all ranked multiplayer variations, all races and 'Cops ‘n Crooks', as both sides” but this brief description entails a whole lot of challenge. With no further ado, read on for a nice, detailed description that can serve as a checklist for all those GTAIV players that have struggled to nail this one.
To receive this Achievement/Trophy you must have:
- the highest point total at the end of the game for all points based games
- achieved the best race time (at the end of the race) for all Race tracks (including Helicopter races, Boat races, Free races, and Cannonball Runs)
- achieved the best race time (at the end of the race) for all GTA Race tracks (including Helicopter races, Boat races, Free races, and Cannonball Runs)
- won as both a “cop” and a “crook” in both variations of Cops n’ Crooks
- completed each of the Co-op modes
Additional Requirements:
- There must be at least 1 opponent in the game when the final leaderboard is finished processing – being the only player left does not count
- For PS3 users, all games won since 12/17/2008 count toward this challenge, but not the ones prior to that date
Finally, some users have reported that their race stats were not counting toward completion of the “Auf Wiedersehen Petrovic” Achievement/Trophy due to lag in uploading or a bad internet connection. If you have experienced either of these problems, make sure to check your internet connection and also have a quick look at the leaderboards to verify that your stats have been sent successfully before powering down your console.
Any other Achievements/Trophies or particularly tough missions you need help with? As always, just shout in the comments below and we may look to cover it in an upcoming Rockstar Game Tips.

































If the one session doesnt work then I'm out of options! I've followed every procedure correctly, many times with multiple wins on everything... my final option will be to just smash up my playstation.
Cheers, L.A.
Create a checklist and also make a list of the previous stats, cross off as you go along and then check stats again next day, if the stat has updated highlight it on the checklist.
When stopping quit too the lobby, leave multiplayer and quit too the XMB, this makes stats update.
Complete everything on the list but leave out one race, do it the next day after all of the other stats have updated.
Complete Cops N Crooks on both rounds in one sssion, do the same for both All for One & One for All.
If public set the time low so others stay until end, co-op difficulty does not matter.
Make sure whoever you are doing it with carries through to the next game lobby with you.
Completing Turf War as both Jamaicans and Russians is not required..
One thing to consider that I just read is that you need to have the highest point total for all point-based games.
I assume this means TDM, TMW, TCJC, Etc...
I'm going to sit down with some friends tomorrow, and make sure I was the top player in all team games, and see if it unlocks the trophy.... I'll post another comment to say whether it worked, or not.
Can you help me please my ID: Crazy-Dim
I wait more information about my problem, PLEASE....
Usually I like Rockstar's trophies... but this one is legitimately tough. Not really hard, but just very long and time-consuming. Especially if you're not the greatest driver in the world.
I'll probably never even attempt this trophy.
Don't get me wrong, I loved the game and put over 200hours into it in SP but I can not dedicated that time to MP for modes I don't even want to play.
I doubt you'll listen, but no MP trophies please (at least not hugely grinding ones like this..Max rank is OK). I want to enjoy the game and go out my way A LITTLE to Platinum it (i.e: RDR), not have to dedicate my life to it.
And I understand trophies like this keeps people playing your game and it's good for you, but it also gives the game a tedious aura (which is bad for you).
Anyway bored waiting for a download lol, so I thought I'll throw my 2cents on trophy design.
I also wholeheartedly agree that you should make every available effort to make a double, triple, or 5x money payout weekend for all GTA game modes. Playing Mafiya Work for 45 minutes to get about $15,500 is pretty tedious after a while...
