just finished the preload. im honestly gonna try the SP out for a while because this will be my first time playing this game. but im sure as hell hitting up the MP after an hour or two of loving around

Hopefully MP isn't as bad as GTA4 where you get this huge loading screen every time despite already having the main city loaded.

after the intro you can start skipping the cutscenes, thank god

also the game runs like butter maxed out on a gtx760. kudos to rockstar actually doing this right, im surprised

As gay as Max Payne 3's cutscenes felt, it was cool that pretty much nothing had the boring and extremely long load screens that GTA 4 had. Like at least they gave you a bad soap drama to watch.

I haven't had any of the problems you guys have been having, but heads up if it won't install for some reason because lol.

April 13
Dear Steam Customer,

We recently learned of an issue that can impact players attempting to install Grand Theft Auto V on Windows PCs. For those experiencing this issue, you have three options available to you at this time.

First, Rockstar Games intends to have a fix for this issue soon.

Second, customers can try the manual work around detailed below.

Third, if neither of the above works for you, the self-refund tool will continue to be available until the official fix is released.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

Please see below for more information from Rockstar Games, including details on the manual workaround.

The Steam Team

We have identified an issue where players with Windows usernames that include characters not found in the table at the bottom of this page will likely run into difficulties when attempting to download, install, or play GTAV. We are currently working on a fix for this issue.

If you do not want to wait for a fix, you need to create a new Administrator User Account for your Windows system that only includes letters A to Z, a to z or numbers 0-9 from the basic roman alphabet. For a full list of supported characters, see the table at the bottom of this page. Please note that simply renaming your current User Account will not correct this issue. To create the account, follow these instructions from the Microsoft website:

Windows 8/8.1:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows-8
Windows 7:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows-7
Windows Vista:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows-vista
We will update this support article with any new information as soon as we have it, including expected timing of a fix and whether you will be able to transfer progress on the newly-created Windows username over to your original Windows user account.

If you would like to receive an automatic update via email when there is more information about a fix, please log into the Support Site and click Subscribe at the top of this page.

I bought the 40k motorcycle off the website u get linked when you buy a garage, then fully upgraded it as much as I could at my early rear end progress in the game... It's insanely fast, faster than the not-ferraris you see on the road, even when those spawn with a turbo motor. Also, you take far, far less damage crashing a motorcycle if you wait two seconds to put on your helmet, just like GTA4. I found that out the hard way when I scraped by a car and my head hit the mirror and instantly killed me like 30 seconds into the game.

Sounds good. Taking a break for the moment, but I've got access to heists now so we can do that later; Add me on social club so I don't have to pick through those lovely crew menus to invite you, and we'll go hold up some banks or something.


I drove up to say hi, you shot me. I respawned, shot you back. Cops shot me for shooting you, car got impounded. Whole ordeal lasted less than a minute.

Oh lol. Freeroam has only actually worked for more than 30 seconds like twice, so I just immediately ice everyone I see.

Turns out if you really hate the ingame editor you can just render all your footage and it gets put in your AppData folder. Then you can just take it and edit it with Movie Maker or Premier or something. Or upload it yourself, I guess.

Im playing in mostly only 3rd person now because the first person camera is sooooo bad. I can't take the FOV. There's a mod that makes it wider for on-foot, but it might possibly get you banned and also it doesn't affect the vehicle FOV, which is my main problem in the first place.




So here's hoping it gets fixed, soon.

Franklin's car is the funniest to drive in first person because you can't see out the back, especially with the roll cage and if you have the ram hood and sunstrip you can't see out the front either.

The armored car for the first heist is also almost impossible to see out of.

Honestly I have a hard time finding a better outfit for the characters than the default ones. Rockstar did a good job with the character design.

I guess I usually grow out Michael's hair.

Yeah. Rockstar is an awesome game dev. I also like how if you buy a bunch of clothes for your dudes, they will have a different outfit on when you switch to them. I bought a bunch for Franklin because I like playing him the most and he's always got something new on. The cool part is that it somehow always looks OK and not a hosed up mess like a suit with flipflops.

It's far better than GTA4 or SA in pretty much every way. I wish clothes was still SA style but at least you have more choices than GTA4 so whatever.

I think their was a big step up in production values. Like the voices et are way better and the characters more memorable. Also property buying with real missions.

This... GTA3 was trash in sooo many ways. Like did you guys notice that in Vice City, if you died or got arrested on a mission there'd be a taxi car to take you to the mission. Sometimes it even skipped most of the mission for you.

done triathlons, flight school and the shooting challenges, what are the best ways to raise the other stats?

Mod a super car or a good sports car, and drive really fast and through lots of traffic, as close as you possibly can. It seems like motorcycles will raise it faster but you will also die way way way more often of course.

It's the same damage model from GTA 4 and Max Payne. Anything that's not the head pretty much will take a shitload of hits. Also, enemies that wear armor will take less damage from bullets in general. Unfortunately your characters never really run around in armor like that.
