Support NeoGAF

[Windom Earle]

R* listened to our prayers and added settings to improve the controls:

Putting deadzone to zero and a high acceleration setting fixes my gripes with the controls.
Sensitivity setting was there before, but can be used for fine tuning. There is still some input lag, but it seems to be within the normal realm of 30fps games.

"First person auto level" setting is also something people asked for.

Tree animations are finally implemented and look glorious.

edit: this "festive update" includes some other cool content and features

Nice!!!

Try this when i get home as it was affecting me a lot.

 

[Alcoholikaust]

Whoooooo-making the day at work THAT much worse that I cannot be home to try it out-

 

[Stereogatari]

All the people that compared R* to Ubi are running into hiding now.

 

[Seanspeed]

Great update, it sounds like. I heard about them putting the vegetation swaying back in, but fixing the controls is pretty huge, too.

I'm half glad the PC version is coming after with this, so we can get some of the core issues resolved already for best first-time experience.

 

[Andrefpvs]

So they listened to the feedback and acted on it? Kudos to Rockstar!

Agreed.

 

[Hydranockz]

Seems like a pretty neat update. Great to hear.

 

[TheJLC]

Thanks R*!

 

[SirMossyBloke]

This is a game changer for me. Very excited.

 

[Loris146]

Now if only they fix the frame rate drops while driving on PS4...

Anyway great update.

 

[FranXico]

Kudos to Rockstar for owning to their mistakes promptly and fixing the bugs.
Very professional of them.

We, consumers, appreciate their hard work.

 

[gruenel]

Nice. Glad I waited.

 

[brau]

Need some videos of the trees for reassurance!

Loving all the extra sliders to customize the deadzone.

 

[LiK]

Glad I didn't play it yet.

Found these in the gta tree thread

[Koobion]

It seems like such a specific patch, as if fan-driven with a gun to their head. Fix this, this annnd this!

Or maybe Rockstar is that good.

Spoiler

Probably

 

[MarkMclovin]

I doubt they 'listened'. I bet they were already in the works.

 

[impact]

Now patch the fps drops on PS4. This is a decent start though.

god damn

Awesome!! someone needs to see if they change a lot depending on weather conditions.

 

[Hanmik]

 

[Xyber]

You console people are still beta testing my PC game, thanks guys! *Hint, this shit isn't serious*

I'm glad they got this sorted relatively fast though after the complaints started popping up, didn't really expect them to do anything about the controls.

 

[Neiteio]

AWESOME!!

To all the fanboys in that one thread who kept saying "the game has a high meta score, it doesn't need to patch anything" -- isn't it amazing to see your favorite company is open to constructive criticism?

 

[disastermouse]

I read this title as 'GT5' and thought: 'What was wrong with GT5's trees?' and 'Holy fuck, they put out a patch for GT5 this long after release?'

 

[The Elite]

This may help with some of my control issues.

 

[NinjaFridge]

And here I was thinking the controls were fine and it was just the TV people were playing on causing problems.

 

[Neiteio]

The timing is perfect because I own this on PS4 but haven't started it yet, but I loooooooooved this game on PS3 (despite not liking the previous one), and I'm already itching to play it again.

 

[victimroyalty]

That's all well and good but how about connection fixes? No matter what I do I can rarely connect with friends and stay connected. I care much more about that then some swaying trees right now.

 

[UnrealEck]

They fixed that quite quickly. Wonder why it took so long to get a PC version out. Oh silly me, I forgot. They just wanted more money.

 

[Me_Marcadet]

Did they fix the turbo upgrade bug?
My Internet connexion is broken, I can't check out the update. If they also fixed the input latency this could be a huge upgrade and the game would be perfect.

 

[ldcommando]

Big win for #treegate and #controlgate

 

[Zareka]

It's sad that I'm surprised a developer just straight up fixed problems people had with their game.

Can't wait to get this around Christmas time. Playing this in FPS mode is gonna be great.

 

[antitrop]

Good excuse to jump back in, even though I already beat the game. The trees really bothered me, the controls not so much.

 

[DarkLordMalik]

I wondered why the patch was so huge. This is great news.

according to this patch note ...

Yup, hated the downgrade from last gen. Palms at Vespucci Beach are so pretty now!

 

[Majanew]

Thank you, Rockstar.

 

[Prime crotch]

You console people are still beta testing my PC game, thanks guys!

oh man, it's like if the PC master race quip wasn't a sarcastic remark meant to ridicule the benign yet grating entitlement from gamers in general

 

[PnCIa]

Is the input lag for buttons such as L1 fixed, too?

 

[K' Dash]

Dude, no.

 

[Ingueferroque]

You console people

Yeah, no

 

[impact]

oh man, it's like if the PC master race quip wasn't a sarcastic remark meant to ridicule the benign yet grating entitlement from gamers in general

"Wow delayed again? Even next gen consoles get it before us? Fuck Rockstar, I'm ONLY buying this on a 50 cents Steam sale and that's if they're lucky."

"Wow thanks for beta testing my game, peasants. Can't wait for January #masterrace #gabeN"

It's pretty funny how their attitudes change.

[GifGafIsTheBestGaf]

All the people that compared R* to Ubi are running into hiding now.

if such ridiculous people exist, im sad. i think nothing compares to ubi right now

anyway, based Rockstar delivering as always. cant wait to get home and try the changes though im hooked right now with Marco Polo (netflix) and Driveclub

 

[GANGSTERKILLER]

Rockstar must be reading NeoGAF...

 

[Yaphett Kotto]

So happy for the controls getting patched.

Shoutouts to everyone who posted videos and gifs demonstrating the problems. People who adamantly dismissed the problem can go eat crow.

 

[Neiteio]

Rockstar deserves huge props for this. Great diligence on their part, following up on these matters not long after release.

 

[Summer Haze]

Is the input lag for buttons such as L1 fixed, too?

Nope.

-----------

The only things I'd like fixed now are a toggle for auto-leveling in third-person view, and a FoV slider for first-person in vehicles.
