So earlier I posted that whenever I have my mic plugged in, my character constantly moves his mouth like he's babbling and people complain of noise through the in-game chat, even if I have the microphone turned off. So I went and bought a new headset just to see if that was the problem, but it's still happening. Anyone know what could be causing that? It only happens in the in-game chat; Xbox party and private message chat isn't affected, which is why I think it's game specific.

Have you gotten in game with every setting available set to off? Like have you made sure your xbox doesn't think anything is plugged in at all and it still happens? What about in game chat for other games. If not then I'd contact rockstar

You know what would be great? If you could steal a taxi and complete taxi fares in free roam. Sure, sometimes it would be boring but they could maybe put a subtle indicator on the map to let others know you're doing fares and that might influence people to come gently caress with you.

Jesus christ shut up about this unacceptable bullshit. It's a video game. "Unacceptable" is when the bank forecloses on the wrong house, "unacceptable" is when a game fries your other saves or hardware, "unacceptable" is when you get a package from UPS that's been mangled.

This is bog standard launch issues combined with Frankensteining MMO frameworks on top of the RAGE engine. It's loving amazing that this game even works as it is, and yes, it's pretty acceptable to me that a company that has never launched an MMO or large scale online game of any kind is having problems with their infrastructure in the first month for the best selling game EVER. I'm way the gently caress over it because the game is fun and the server issues haven't stopped me from having fun.

If it's so god drat unacceptable, stop accepting it and play something else for a month you entitled baby. This isn't the loving Consumerist.

I had the exact idea the other day during a taxi ride.

You could choose from players who are ranked. It would be really easy to police it. Good job. Idea too, I love the idea of paying others for services.

Are you sure they are not using a custom vehicle? Slip stream as well could be happening. If you find people that were behind you just shooting right by.

Slipstreaming. If someone is behind you they can ride in your slipstream which speeds them up and makes them go faster than they normally would be able to as long as they ride in it, as soon as they leave it they slow back down to their maximum speed. There's also the possibility they have the exact same car as a custom car and have the engine, transmission and turbo modified.

Bicycles hang on hooks and don’t take up car space. The ten‐car garage can hold three bicycles. I don’t know about the others.

I'm guessing it's the mod thing or skill. My skill is commuter and the slip stream doesn't really explain it because I'm so far ahead of everyone and it's just one guy catching up to me separate from the pack.

Emergent and accidental trolling is the best. Finally saw an armored car spawn while I was trundling around downtown in a full tractor trailer, so I haul over to where it is and shove it around for a bit while a pubbie tries to shoot at me and shoot the armored car doors open. Eventually I kill myself with a poorly thrown sticky, so I hijack a new car and catch up again. Land a sticky right on the doors and blow them just as the pubbie pulls up to try shooting the doors open again. Explosion destroys his (non-personal) car and leaves $12k for me to pick up in the street.

As I'm making my escape from 3-stars, he challenges me to a 1-on-1 deathmatch and I ignore it. Then he sends an angry text. I lose the cops and make my way to my garage to save the car I stole because it ended up being decent for a Coupe (Oracle?). He texts me again accusing me of hiding from him, but I get the message as I'm walking out of my house. I find he'd followed me, so I kill him in his car and then shoot out the tires before retiring to my garage again to find a race to do.

Most, if not all large open-world games have bugs that can have an outrageous effect on the game.

...

This game is arguably the biggest open-world game to date and also has the most ambitious multiplayer component that I am aware of, so it's really not surprising that there are issues with it,

Agreed. Open world games are massive, and extremely non-linear, which makes it impossible to find all the bugs before release. Online games are even more complicated.

If 5 million people play a game for an hour, that's 5 million man hours of testing the game has just received, which is orders of magnitude more than that game ever received during development.

Imagine you have a crash or other serious bug that only happens once in every (non consecutive) thousand hours of play. It'll probably only happen a few times in development, but once your game is out there getting hammered by millions of people, it'll get encountered all the time.

GTA V sold much more than 5 million copies, and has been played for many more hours.

I do think it's a bit weird that the game doesn't cache unsaved data in your save game when the cloud is down, but it's probably to avoid savegame editing exploits.

That'd be a great idea. I wonder if temporarily banning people from the taxi service for killing player taxi drivers would be enough to stop it turning into an easy kill? Given that people tend to just open fire on any player they see, there'd have to be a pretty big inventive or disincentive to stop people doing that.

I'm sorry for blowing up your cargobob, Thrax35. The missile didn't have a lock-on and all the sudden it jackknifed up and hit you without any indicator of a lock-on to you. I felt like a huge rear end in a top hat. :( But I guess karma has a way of finding you in GTA, because another goon accidentally blew me up with his buzzard trying to shoot a pubbie a few minutes later!

Edit: God drat the buzzard is fun. Had a pubbie hiding in the hangar at sandy shores airfield trying to get away from goon air superiority. I hovered a few inches off the ground and fired a missile right into the hangar. Smoked his rear end. :clint:

Last night I had easily my best moment in free roam with pubbies. I got a CargoBob at the airstrip and proceeded to stalk and murder everyone. Killing players that have bounty's on them by crunching them into the ground with the CargoBob is hilarious.

At one point I hooked a player in his bright blue custom truck and took him for a ride around the mountains. After giving him a nice tour I then got to the highest altitude I could get to and then unhooked his truck. He dropped from the sky and landed right in the middle of the Alamo Sea.

I couldn't stop laughing for a good 5 minutes.

Press -> and the hook comes down. Hover directly over the car and hope for the best. - I'd been practicing on my own in the middle of no where and it's really random when it decides it wants to hook the vehicle. - Sometimes flying down and onto the vehicle works, sometimes just hovering over it hooks, it's really random I've noticed. Does anybody have a better technique?

On your stats page it will say "clean player" or something else. I don't know if it says anything before bad sport to let you know you're close. Just do some missions without blowing anyone up and you'll be fine.
