you only get 1 crate per person, 4 people, 4 crates. zero people, ZE-RO CRATES.

This made my evening, thank you.

Me and some static friends just conquered Doomsday. We had a really hard time with that hangar assault one mid-way through the missions, but made it through the whole firefight of the Chiliad assault without messing up - only died during the following tunnel section when one of us blew up one of those explosive crates, but it was a quick restart and coasting downhill at that point. Blindfire from cover saved the day.

I use the Session Sweeper to purge the session when I want to do a bunker sell mission, and usually for a full inventory. Some of the sell missions will absolutely require more than one person; there's just not enough time for those, but others, like the Phantom Wedge delivery can be done solo. I like seeing the influx of $1MM in one transaction. That being said, if it RNGs one that can't be completed solo, I switch lobbies and try again at a small inventory cost.

Eventually a hacker will drop money on you.

Does this really still happen much? It seems to have dropped substantially since gun-running hit. Ever since, I've only had one person spawn some alien eggs in my office for a few thousand when picked up.

Also I think watching TV will still prevent you from being kicked for being idle, negating the need to rubberband one's controller.

Left the game running in the background while watching TV in my facility. Propose was to let bunker generate product. Come back an hour later and I can see from the fixed perspective from the couch there's some cages now stacked up around the break room. Not the first time I've seen it. So I stand up and immediately get gunned down by at least 2 [what I assume are] bots. Didn't get a good look at them before I died. Good times.

Thank you for the reminders about the Mariachi Tornado.

Went to get one for myself, I screwed up the sniping, but turns out the car survived the fall, as did Louise.

Any opinion on using the ignition bomb? Since that's the only customization that can be applied to this - it seems like it might be fun to leave around as a bait car. It doesn't seem like having it will impede my own driving of the car, and unless it's been patched, I think some fancy server switching can be used to remove the bomb if I really wanted. I did want to ask though, if I install it, and someone uses it, I know I have to pay the insurance, but after restoring the car, will it still have a bomb, or will I have to install another one?

Re: the special crates(film reel, sasquatch skin, etc) Are those included in the double 2x$ sales? Sitting on 5/6 right now, last night it showed like $600,000 for the sale value of all of them. Also, does it work out better selling them 1 at a time, or all at once, or is it the same $ either way? Shouldn't be too hard to figure out when looking at the numbers, I'm just curious

I think when it comes to special crate sales you don't have an option between selling one or several; if they're in the same warehouse, you can only sell them all in one go.

Another question, has anyone filled up, and thus knows the max capacity of the service garage connected directly to the nightclub office? I didn't see a blue light that would let me rearrange it, which I could have used to figure out how many slots it has.Thanks much.

That’s literally just for parking your current car in when you arrive so you don’t need to leave it on the street or go through another load time between the club and a garage.

Understood, thank you.

So a cautionary tale - I'm not entirely sure what happened, but here's my best guess: while watching the security cameras at my nightclub to idle safely, I suspect a nightclub raid occurred which pulled me out of it - and I wasn't here, so then I dc'd due to idling, which counted as failing the raid, and I lost my entire inventory. I don't know if watching tv/security cameras at another location would result in avoiding this, but I shall attempt to ascertain this information.

Were you ceo/mc while idle? I was not while I watched a movie. Came back and registered as mc to check stock levels, and a a few minutes later got a call about weed getting raided. By the time I got from the club to the weed farm the product bar was half gone, and then fighting off 4 waves it was another 25% gone. Almost immediately after that I got another call that cash was being raided.

Definitely tuned up the raid logic in the update

I was in MC. On my reattempt to scam the system, I've retreated to my facility security cams to idle, and unenrolled from my MC/org. Will see if this works.

I'm grumpy that I've STILL got to run my MC business / bunker loop to buy supplies for passive income. The one thing I wanted from this was to be able to resupply everything from one screen. Paige needs to patch her program.

Was there a car, I'm guessing a muscle car, that had a high level of crazy exhaust pipe customizations (perhaps among other features)? I coulda sworn I saw one with with like, pipes coming out of the engine, then down the doors to the rear of the vehicle. Am I making up memories?

Tips on using shunt boost on keyboard? I've tried X and Left Shift, in combination with A/D, but nothing's happening.

Also, is it me or do the laser guns seem pretty under powered?

I'm amused however that simply running into my car, like on foot, colliding with my car, kills me with the spikes.

I'm trying to cheese Arena War wins with the aid of a second system sitting alongside. I've made a playlist of 12 Arena War matches that can end very quickly. This results in about 2100 AP/hour and 30 wins/hour. I'm at rank 16 so I think the Monkey Blista is almost claimed. Question though, for ongoing AP for the big cup trophy, would anyone venture an opinion if this option is better or if it would be more time efficient to play the game of chance and spend time spinning the wheel instead? I think the potential complications of the wheel would make it not the best option, but what's your opinion?

Phweengee
Nov 5, 2012
Thank you. Initially I was suiciding just to wheel, but it was far from consistent. The second machine method has worked pretty well; Monkey Blista gotten, and two trophies and a couple of trinkets remain.

Has anyone recently been able to properly enter the spectator box from their Arena Workshop? For the past several weeks, every time I try to enter it, it just makes me host my own Arena War activity. And if I go into the options menu and turn off the join event in progress option, it just hangs out on a loading screen forever when I try to enter. Is it possible that Arena War is so unpopular it just can't find anyone to have me spectate?

Fart.Bleed.Repeat. posted:

I've never gotten that to work, always just the 'can't find a session to spectate' message. Found a few people posting about this and they say to hit ESC then Online/Options/Matchmaking/Open which should then allow you to walk into the door and spectate a match already in progress

Indeed, that was my problem, thank you. After making that change, it only took another hour loading into 3 games that ended before the spectator box was even drawn, and my dealing with multiple zone reloads, and 2 infinite loading screens, before I got it to work on the 4th attempt which lasted all of 15 seconds.

in case y'all hadn't seen it, you can take snapshots of footage in the editor with a free camera and get different angles, filters, etc. it's cool because you just need a few seconds of footage, and can get pictures of all the cars in a garage

Indeed, I found this recently and that's what I had been doing for my "owned" cars. I've been just doing plain system screenshots, but the editor allows for snapmatic photos that can go properly into the social club interface.

Anyone locked out of gambling? I think someone or something got mad at me for macro-ing horse races for hours on end. No gambling games work, though I can still spin the wheel and buy chips. When I approach a table/machine it says something like "this is not available right now, please try again later." I have no idea if/when functionality will be restored.

I was running the track's favorable odds, plus bet glitch plus macro just to build up chips to buy all the casino junk, ie art/clothes. Don't need to cash the chips out and never have done so. Wouldn't have felt the need to do any gambling at all if they'd have let me just convert my cash to chips without the $50k/hour bottleneck. As of last night, I had a nice nest egg in chips and currency. Hoping I didn't get hit like this.

Yeah, I should've expected that...

Something weirder is at play here. Every time I started the game back up it crashed while loading into an online session, and when I finally got in by loading into a crew-only session, I noticed this in the loading screen:



And then I loaded in and found... this:


Something's fucky.


I got the glitchy Rockstar logo among the loading screens recently. Other oddities I've noticed:

>Many but not all first attempts to launch the game pops up a social club unavailable notice before the game loads. Clicking retry works.
>Once the game starts to load, it compels me to do a brightness check
>On trying to load in, it insists that I finish the single player prologue first, so it backs out to single player, loading up my post-game file...
>Which it then automatically tries to get back into online, typically successfully
>I've had several game crashes lately where the game seems to get super choppy, but after freezing up for only a quick second, the game just breaks and I'm back to Windows.

All but the last, I noticed started happening after my house lost power in the storm, killing the game mid-session. I don't *think* it was saving anything at the time but who knows.

Ultimately I can still play, just with difficulty.

A cautionary tale. It seems that some POI can only be scoped during the vault contents scope mission (the camera hack part), and unlike the general scope mission, this one can't be repeated.
