The best part of the "returning from last-gen" perks was that someone made a mod adding them to the PC version... and a bunch of people jumped up in arms to defend rockstar's RIGHT to include content they can't access without having bought the game twice.

I can't really stand people who jump up to defend large corporations who don't give a poo poo about them, just because of how attached they are to the branding. Who knows, it may well still be available, but obviously not for online.

EDIT: This brings me to a different point: I wouldn't know because GTA Online sounds like a festering pile of garbage, hacking, and microtransactions. Did that rumor that the people developing alternate, server-based multiplayer got visited by ~private investigators~ ever pan out? Are those projects still going? Might bring me back.

It's not that I hate it. It's that I loathe it.
The FiveM guys either got thoroughly shut down or wised up enough to keep quiet about what they were doing, but either way there's no news.


I will say that if you've been avoiding the PC version because of hackers Rockstar updated the detection tools a week or so back and anecdotally, the mumble crew hasn't seen one since then. Before you'd run into one every large session so it's a fantastic change.

As for grinding/microtransactions, there's usually someone on mumble who's down for some serious cash generation and if you're not the grinding type you really don't need fancy expensive stuff to goof around with the rest of us.

Mumble makes Online fun, is what I'm getting at.

GTA Online would be great if literally every player I've ever seen wasn't driving an Armored Kuruma. gently caress those things, they trivialize every mission in the game and just sucks the fun right out of it, might as well be using cheats. If you're about to chime in to defend them, then gently caress you too.

The FiveM and GTA-MP multiplayer mods were both shutdown with legal actions, the former quite forcefully so. Seems like TakeTwo is invested in forcing people to play the lame freeroam with no proximal voicechat that we are stuck with. It's frustrating considering the multiplayer could be so much more.

And yes armored kurumas are lame. Mine stays in the nearby apartment for the bank robbery/bike getaway because gently caress that heist more than kurumas.

I'm really angry. I have this game through Steam and play it often. Tonight it asked me to login to RGSC as it does sometimes. I did but the launcher did not recognize me. I I had forgotten my Rockstar password so I logged in wrong a couple times. Changed my password and tried it again. Nothing. So I tried it again and again until the Rockstar app told me that Steam had a problem with my identity or some poo poo. I bought this loving game and I can't play it. I am livid and I even looked for phone numbers to call but there are none. The only option is to start a thread on a forum. Of all of these modern gaming trends, this is loving bullshit. Back in the day, there was at least a number we could call that would get us someone we could yell at. Feel free to tell me that I'm a big baby but my account was blocked after I changed my password. Now I can't play the game that I bought. Horse poo poo.

Nvidia or AMD? Or do people call those Radeon? I dunno I always use Nvidia.

For Nvidia an option in the Nvidia Control Panel that you want to make sure is switched on:

Power Management Mode: Prefer Maximum Performance
Maximum Pre-rendered Frames: 1 (though I have seen people suggesting recently that 3 might be better... I haven't tested this. 3 did seem to help Ark)

Also one thing to consider is using Display Driver Uninstaller to completely remove your video drivers and start over with fresh drivers. Evidently old drivers leave junk lying around and it can slow games down, I know I definitely got a performance increase when I used this.

I have a AMD Quad Core, according to Can I Run It I can run the game pretty much 100% on minimum settings and like 90% if reccomended due to said CPU.

Hardware companies are poo poo at writing software and fancy things like a working uninstaller are seen as luxuries. 90% of the time nowadays you can just install on top of the old drivers but every so often the OS will just latch onto an old or corrupted file hidden away in a subfolder somewhere and it will break poo poo.

Happened a lot more often a decade ago but much like turning a machine off then on again it's an old fix that still works most of the time.

I am sorry, but AMD is not as good as Intel when it comes to performance. So it is a "try again with a better CPU" thing.

No idea what to turn down for CPU performance though.

So I'm trying to add custom music to GTA 5 on PC and my user tracks folder is full of about 4,000 files, some mp3 and some aac maybe a few others, and I'm trying to do a full scan and it says its scanning but I've played about more than 10 minutes and it still hasn't finished or added the custom radio station. It was working before I added more tracks to it, but after I did I was having issues loading the game but I fixed it by turning auto scan off. Is there a way to see the progress of how far it is into scanning?

How active is the modding community for GTA V? The modding thread seems to have died, and I don't see too many new mods. Did Rockstar just not give a drat about the modding community?

Given they made pretty much the entire gamebudget back via shark cards, I can sort of understand their disposition.

On the other hand if Online had not been so utterly broken for such a long period I might have had some actual sympathy.
