beer_war posted:Why does the launcher download the same 350 MB patch every time I start it? Well, fixed it, here's how in case anyone runs into the same problem: - Check %LOCALAPPDATA%/Temp for the patch installer, after it has been fully downloaded, copy it to another location and run it manually. In my case the file was called GTA_V_Patch_1_0_335_2.exe - In the installer window, click on Show Details. Note that it is supposed to replace a couple files, but skips them for whatever reason. - Rename / delete those files, then run the patch installer again.

Probably a stupid question, but if you buy a helicopter in the main game, do you lose it like you would a car?

My password is in 2 places, on their server and in my encrypted keepass database. The only time I've ever used it is on GTA 4 and 5. I've never even logged into their website. Something fishy is going on.

Nah, if you have the helipad it'll magically reappear there (I ran about 20 jets into the army base trying to get the perfect ejecter seat/parachute combination) I saw someone a few days ago mention races being excessively difficult. I dunno if I'm being super lucky playing with scrubs but I am having like, zero trouble coming first or second every time. I imagine it has something to do with the fact that I'm playing on controller and I've only seen one or two other people do the same, but I'm really not very good at driving/flying.

Is there some quick way to get cars from your garage in SP? It's just so much easier to nab a lovely stationwagon or something instead of going back there to grab my 750, 000 dollar pink car.

If you've used the same password since GTA4 was released, it could have be stolen long before GTAV was released. GTA4 was released before Heartbleed was released/fixed. The hackers would've just had no reason to hijack any accounts until now.

It was 12 characters long, with uppercase and consisted of 2 words. Was 12 characters. How did they know that. though? Are they keeping the passwords stored in plain text?

Was 12 characters. I really doubt they'd be so naive as to store them in plaintext. Even storing un-salted hashes is a big no-no these days. Maybe they did a lookup of any passwords that matched hashes against a known list of compromised passwords? When did you change it the first time? They just sent you an email at some point saying "oh hey that password you've been using for awhile that was fine, you should change it" ? If so maybe they were storing them in plaintext before that?  If it told you it was weak as you entered it then that would make sense, but if they just sent you an email out of the blue telling you its weak that's weird. Especially if its 12 characters long.

To be entirely fair, I had absolutely no reason to even care about a Rockstar account again until GTA 5 was out. And the only reason I got it in the first place was because LA Noire kept badgering me to get one. I'd forgotten entirely that it existed and had just hoped they'd scrap it to just use Steam or some other service instead.

It had nothing to do with heartbleed. The simplest explanation is usually correct. Rockstar is inept & dishonest. The title of this very thread said so. Do you think hackers lifted the passwords with some elaborate, multi-stage hack or some Turkish teenager used some software he bought online to grab a list of plaintext passwords from whatever poo poo system designed by the saddest programmer at Rockstar assigned to maintain RSC during the days it was truly pathetic?

They've made it impossible to change email addresses for RSC accounts now, as a stopgap I guess.Rockstar support posted:We are aware that unauthorized attempts have been made to access Rockstar Games Social Club accounts using email and password combinations sourced from unaffiliated, compromised websites or databases elsewhere on the internet. For the accounts affected, we are in the process of reverting those accounts back to their original owners. As a result, the ability to change email addresses for Social Club accounts has been temporarily disabled. See the following Rockstar Support article for more information here. As a reminder, it is a good policy to ensure that the Rockstar Games Social Club account username and password is not shared across multiple websites on the internet. For accounts affected with this issue, we are working to respond to customers to reinstate full user access within 24 hours of contacting Customer Support. Please continue to look to the Rockstar Support website for more information as it develops.

It's probably still a grand theft auto charge whether you're selling the car, or leaving it wrapped around a tree or upside-down on a city sidewalk because you didn't want to pay/wait for a taxi.

The foot racing is pretty competent as well. What other game can simulate the excitement of a 5k? None. Mary Ann's tiny 39 year old rear end does not have poo poo on me.
