so last night the downloader reached 55GB and it restarted back to 20GB? is something wrong on my end? it repeated 3-4x last night.

I managed to buy GTA 5 twice from Rockstar Warehouse and i'm having problems getting it refunded. Is there any place i can sell it cheaply or something where it's legal? I'm not really interested in having two keys.

I sent you an PM.

I've read posts on GAF about people experiencing a similar ssue so I don't think it's just you (unless you made those other posts as well, lol).

Edit: Nevermind I found some posts so yeah not just you:

Damn, that's the slowest download I ever experienced. Right back to ISDN days. Goddamnit Rockstar.

 

[Gambit61]

Thanks to this topic I purchased MKX and GTAV. Still haven't made much progress in beating Witcher 1 & 2 before 3 launches. -_-

Spoiler

/s Thanks OP!

"Connection to download server lost. Reconnecting..."

My speeds are abysmal on the Rockstar downloader and now it won't even connect.

Wow this message just hit me after I read your post.

 

[BIGWORM]

Woke up to this message. I was about halfway done...guess a lot of people caught on lol

*non-edit edit* Reinitialized download, and speed is maxing out my bandwidth at 15mb/s.

 

[EdibleExplosives]

This is pretty ridiculous.
I've set up a macro to pause and unpause the download every 10 mins to 'reset' the download speed.

Edit: Nevermind, the pause/unpause thing doesn't work anymore. Just have constant shitty speeds right now.

 

[Veal]

Same thing with me too. Did we get burned?

 

[therealminime]

Was 30 mins from the download completing and then it lost the connection and is back down to only 20gb's downloaded with 4 hours remaining. It actually seemed to delete the files it had already downloaded. Urg.

Edit: If it fails again I'll probably just wait until the game is live before I redownload. Thank goodness I got rid of the monthly download cap a while back.

 

[Vintage]

lol just downloaded the whole thing, the file verification process started and it went back to 20gb

edit: now it shows the whole size is 55gb instead of 60gb like before.

So I did that and now I have 57 GB to download instead of 60. Uh?

Magic!

No idea what's going on with the downloads through the launcher, but it seemed to help for some people doing that.

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Anyone know where these files install? I can't seem to find them to find out if my download actually finished properly

R* pls

You select where they install to... happy hunting!

 

[Head.spawn]

I thought I downloaded 59gb. Now I see someone posted a pic showing 62gb and the guy a few posts above saying 57gb.

Wut.

I'm at work, can't doing anything from here, I'm just wondering if I need to load up the program to do some more downloading when I get home.

 

[BIGWORM]

If you just use your Start button search and looking for "GTA," that'll be in the directory where you told it to install.

 

[roytheone]

Man, the rockstar social club downloader is probably the worst downloader I have ever used, it is pure shit. Even early Uplay is better than this crap.

 

[RadioJoNES64]

Default location is C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V

 

[Pronewbie]

The download keeps resetting itself the past 12 hours. Frustrating!

I changed the installation path just to the root of my external HDD drive....I think i've made a massive error here cause I'm sure the client couldn't have downloaded 30GB in 4 hours but all mine is showing is the countdown timer.

 

[dodo021]

If you want to download rapidly GTA V, search a torrent of the retail version of the game.
Then copy all the file where your game is installed and all is done.

With this technique, I have downloaded the game in 3 hours.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

Anybody bothered reaching out to Rockstar support via Twitter or their forums for help with the RSC Downloader?

You Sir shall from now on be known to me as the saviour of my sanity, thanks to you I might now finally be able to download this game.

Should somebody from R* be on this board and happen to read this, go to whatever dimwit programmed your POS downloader and kick his sorry ass hard.

Mine was definitely glitched, thanks for this. I just deleted all the .rpf files and started again, I only had it half downloaded anyway.

It seems like it's actually downloading again, yay. I don't even want to think about how much bandwidth I wasted overnight.

 

[BIGWORM]

Uhhhhhhh:

 

[AzureSkies]

dat progress bar

Progress, indeed:

And now, the wait...

 

[Saiyan-Rox]

Yep my download fucked up and had to re-start the whole thing god damnit! 80kb/s atm too ffs

 

[mercenar1e]

rockstar social club is absolutely useless.. i should have went with the steam version.

 

[MaximusPrimus]

$38CDN? That's better than I expected!

I'm tempted to bite on this now.

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

This downloader is a piece of shit. It says GTAV is going to be 57 GB now. This is a fucking joke.

 

[Enco]

The installer may suck but it's still half the price of Steam. I would say it's worth it.

 

[RadioJoNES64]

After dealing with three download failures from the Rockstar downloader, I was able to download it successfully and it's now counting down.

 

[EatinOlives]

I was originally thinking of waiting for a sale, but personally I have a gut feeling GTA V will take a very long time before it gets to a $30-on-sale on Steam or any other platform. Certainly not before the end of this year. If the port is as good as Rockstar is making it out to be they're going to sell enough to warrant not having a sale for quite some time.

Really thinking of jumping on this since getting it on Steam doesn't seem to add anything (other than the initial download not being shit, but that's just one time). Maybe achievements?

A good download system is the best part i would say. Might be the same for patches. Plus you can easily download it anywhere with no installed. Other than that its just another layer of drm.

I'm waiting until release and picking it up then from nuuvem.

 

[texhnolyze]

Should we be worried about GTA Online connectivity/stability later when Steam folks are also joining in if they can't even handle the pre-load server well right now?

I think it's going to go up in price to ~$32 after it releases? I mean, not that $3 will be that important...

I didn't realize R$99 (USD $32) was the "regular" price on Nuuvem. Thought it was going to be closer to USD $60 than not. If that's the case I'll probably wait until after release as well. Not like I have time to play it immediately anyway

might be a bumpy ride come tuesday, but as long as i can get past the one time activation and start playing i can wait for things to settle down a day or two with the online stuff

Yeah even if steam reduces it to $25 in a couple of months (steam summer sales) that's only $5 less to play it 2 months earlier. At $25 that's like ~55% off? I think they are more likely to start with a 20% off sale. It probably only becomes worth it when the discount is $10 or more ($20).... And that could be quite a while.

Wouldn't be surprised at all.

I'm just doing it because I'm worried for some reason lol. I won't be playing for at least a month too.

Yeah I don't see GTA V dipping below -%20 this summer sale. R* put too much effort (it seems) into this port for them to be that aggressive with the pricing.

Lol I know, I'm on the same boat. I would've bought it now if the regular price on Nuuvem was like $45 or $50, but since it's still basically $30 I'll wait as well. I have no rush and I probably won't even have time to play it day 1. Didn't have time to play Smash 4 or Bloodborne (my last 2 games I was very excited about) day 1 either.

I expect it to be like the other releases...the initial first couple days will be spotty and then improve

Deleting the rpk files in the gta directory fixed this problem for me and I finally downloaded everything.
