There's a 58MB day 1 patch I think, which compared to the 60GB you would have just downloaded should be no problem.
Grand Theft Auto V Steam pre-load is live
- Thread starter EatChildren
- Start date
This one is great. Especially if the PC version has been the lead platform all along (unlikely).
I like this one too, chuckled a bit.

if performance threads ever get titles then the GTA V (PC) one should be...

Damn, I'm missing Steam now - the download from Rockstar is total shit. It started ok yesterday but kept disconnecting for a few minutes at a time. Now I see it actually failed entirely halfway through last night.
I'm sure it'll be done at some point this weekend, but after resuming the download it's half the speed it was yesterday.

perfect lmao
but replace it with 2 months, fully referencing the original ad, and also the delay on both

Still debating on whether I want this game or not. 60 bucks for a game I already played is steep, but at the same time, mods and the ability to turn off the cops sounds tasty.

Oh man, the download speed on Rockstar's client is insufferable. I can get up to 100 mbps on steam and RSC is hanging around 700 kbps.

You're awesome. Thanks for this!
Has this been posted today: PC Gamer - Rockstar talk 4K, PC performance and more
They seem to indicate that the PC version was in parallel with the original console versions but the bulk of the work focused on those consoles. However the work they had on the PC version around 64bit and DX11, informed the work on the new console versions which then ramped up the work on the PC version. So basically the PC version was it's own thing

Anyone know if this will work? It sounds like an easier solution.So i want to get the game on my SSD.
I got 120GB SSD (Cand 500GB HDD (D
1. Its tuesday so i run the game for the first time to install it.
2. In windows i copy game folder to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common
3. I click Delete local content on Steam.
4. I click Install game on Steam.

Rockstar's servers aren't the greatest, but I don't think they've resorted to uploading torrents to ease their bandwidth.If you have some problem to download GTA V from Social Club (like me), don't forget torrent.
I'm sure you mean to get the files for your legit game with no crack (I don't even know if this is ok), but you should be careful mentioning torrents, don't want people getting the wrong idea.If you have some problem to download GTA V from Social Club (like me), don't forget torrent.
You don't want to be banned for pirating a game you've paid for anyway.
Should work, I did that with other games in the past.
I have downloaded the game in 3 hours with a torrent. It's definitely better than Social Club.
My man.

Ow yes of course. It's just the retail version, not a pirated or cracked version.

Can't wait !
I hope it does. Just to add one thing, someone told me on other forum that i should close Steam before copying the game files to C:. Don't know if its necessary but i'm going to do it anyway just to be sure.

My download keeps losing connection and won't reconnect unless i pause and restart which means i have to sit here and babysit a fucking download link.If you have some problem to download GTA V from Social Club (like me), don't forget torrent.
Rockstar needs to end their shitty social club.

Well, I ended up making symbolic link as per JaceC's suggestion. It was pretty easy to do, and that tool might come handy in the future. If for some reason it doesn't work, I'll try drouz's suggestion. And yay! My SSD is back to having 159 GB free. I don't think having Steam open matters as it's not accessing the folders atm.
Was reading on reddit yesterday that some website noticed how not only the textures prettier on PC, but there's actually new assets and reworked areas exclusive to pc, they mentioned an example of a pool area in some playboy-esque mansion having something like a completely different, better looking pool. Pretty sweet.

Then use SteamTool to move it to your SSD.
It won't. The game will automatically unpack to the same library folder it was pre-loaded to, so the only way to move the pre-load data out of the way and have it unpack to your usual steamapps folder is to follow the instructions I posted.
Edit: Given you quoted said instructions I assume you're in the same situation as Mart (already pre-loaded but don't have the space to unpack). If, however, you have the space to unpack the game but want it on a different drive, then do this instead:
NB: Let's assume you've pre-loaded to D:\Games\Steam2 but want to move the game to E:\Steam
1) Wait until the game has decrypted
2) Move the installation folder from D:\Games\Steam2\steamapps\common to E:\Steam\steamapps\common
3) Move the appmanifest_271590.acf file from D:\Games\Steam2\steamapps to E:\Steam\steamapps
4) Restart Steam
In doing the above you won't have to fiddle around with symbolic links, and most importantly it saves a lot of time compared to reinstalling the game as you won't have to wait for Steam to verify 60GB of data.
He's already pre-loaded the game so it's going to unpack to his D drive, anyway. But, yes, he can move it after the fact.
Normally on the day now so it's Tuesday I think.

Nah, game comes out on Monday (for some people; EST for example)
No, the thing he quoted will definitely work.
But it would just be easier to use Steam Mover instead of moving it manually from D to C.
Edit: Wait, read that wrong. Thought he would start the install first and then move it.

Man I really can't wait to see this edition of the game in motion. Makes me wish I had a PC that can run it. I'm excited for you all.
Looking forward to see what mods are released including who gets a VR mod out first.

oops nvm
Tier 3 is $1.2m + $150k (i.e. the $300k from Tier 2 cut in half). R* upped the $1m to $1.2m across the board.

Steam versions are the same as retail when it comes to modding, just a different install directory.
Tier 3 is 1,200,000 GTA $ (500,000 for GTA V, 700,000 for GTA Online) with an extra 150,000 for GTA Online.

Could have got a preorder cheaper at Best Buy but forget that, bought it for $50 in the buy/sell thread on gaf. Steam is king, it downloaded quick!
