New GTA5 patch improves controls and fixes tree animation
- Thread starter Windom Earle
- Start date
When you push a joystick in any direction, there's at least 256 different levels at wich the controller register a position. And a deadzone is a certain zone in the middle of the joystick where no input is considered by the game. For instance, lets say the programmer will decide that the first 32 levels don't do anything in the game.
This way you can prevent having useless movement when the player let go of the joystick or with wear and tear when it becomes less precise in the middle. Bonus info: devs are having programming guidelines to respect in matter of deadzones for their game to be approved before being marketed.

During the boot up sequence with the rockstars logo and police stars, does it pause for a second for anyone else? Never had this prior to the patch.
Had it prior to the patch, both on 360 and PS4.

Why is everyone getting so butthurt about this? Is it that offensive?
That's awesome! One thing they need to fix that hardly anybody ever mentions but I notice the crap out of is how stuff is fisheye looking in first person. Go in first person and walk up to any vertical line that should be vertical like a doorway and it's bowed/fisheyed badly. And no this is NOT with glasses on and I changed field of view around and it doesn't make a difference.
It's just annoying.

It's offensively condescending and juvenile.
It wasn't either as the person explained. You guys just interpreted it that way, even though if actually read what he says, he doesn't actually say or imply anything negative about console gamers whatsoever.
man, you are so naive it's cute.
The "platform elitism" stuff, whether it is a joke or not, is annoying.

Holy fuck, they listened.
C'mon, this is R* we're talking about. They actually care about their fanbase.
As a PC gamer myself it's really fucking annoying when PC elitist dicktards make the PC gaming community look bad by spouting ignorant bullshit about how apparently superior they are for not owning a console. The joke is ultimately on them since they miss out on so many great games. How's that PC port of RDR working out for them?
If they did they would have added swimming to red dead redemption with a patch

I thought this was a joke thread at first. I've been browsing through the GTAV input lag thread off and on and I thought this was a response to that.
But wow, this patch is amazing. Early Christmas gift for sure.
I only had some time to experiment before work, but FPV feels really sharp, almost as good as a dedicated FPS now. I turned auto aim off completely, killed the dead zone and worked with the acceleration until drawing a bead on something felt instinctive.
Third person feels really good too. Before the patch, I hadn't played GTAV for a couple of weeks. I've been playing Ground Zeroes and when I went back to GTAV this morning without messing with the new settings, it was awful. After tweaking things a bit and killing the deadzone, it felt awesome to be able to track cars as they drive.
There's still a slight input delay that makes things feel a bit heavier than a dedicated TPS or FPS, but overall this is a night and day improvement. I almost want to start the story over again and play with the new settings.

I think that was more of a design choice to make sure players couldn't go into areas that hadn't been unlocked by story progression.

Reverting to insults because you got called out for being a dick? Just go away, or make your own PC thread.

You shouldn't have to hold the stick while the game keeps fighting against you to face forward. You should be able to look where you want for as long as you want. Trying to look around for my target in a chopper, as well as trying to fly, is needlessly hard because of the auto-centering camera.
Depends. Is the reason for you disliking GTA the fact that it's in third person?
There's no way they worked up the patch and got it through both MS and Sony certification in that amount of time. This has been in the works probably since launch or earlier.

Can Rockstar also patch the God Rays back into Far Cry 4?
That is annoying and thankfully not what has happened here.
Believe it or not, some of us PC gamers(probably most) actually do own consoles yet choose to play many games on PC still.

Were people on gaf asking for tree animations? Why is everyone so hyped about that?

What they need to add is free aim lobbies where you can switch to assisted or whatever you like during missions but get thrown back into free aim when done.
Guys, guys, settle down! We can ALL be terrible people!

reminds me of when UC2 released and gaf complained about the controls and ND brought some Gaffers in for tests lol (minus the gaffer part)

Oh man, this game is just so damn fun. Glad they're still adding little touches.

Because they were present in old gen and trailers for the new version. It's a bit immersion breaking and it was a glitch as opposed to an intended feature so people wanted it fixed.

That was UC3 and I was one of the gaffers who went in. Good times.

Exact same situation for me, except I have the XBO version. Glad I waited to play so it can be all patched up.
