Take2 Interactive, distributor of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, has released a patch making it impossible to view sex scenes hidden in the game.
The scenes were uncovered by Patrick Wildenborg, a games modifier, and accessed through a patch called 'Hot Coffee'.
In response to the discovery the game has been banned in Australia and regraded in the US, and the manufacturer is currently facing an investigation by the FTC and a class action law suit from a US grandmother over the sexual content.
"These patches prevent and remove the 'Hot Coffee' modification," said the company in a statement.
"The scenes were not intended to be part of the Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas experience.
"If your copy for PC has been altered by the unauthorised 'Hot Coffee' download circulating on the internet, or if you wish to prevent your version from being so altered, download and install the patch for your version of the game."
Separate US and EU/Asia patches are available on the company's website here.
