Shitty compressed video. Need webm.

 

[Whom_Gods_Annoy]

Installing update!

Down to 10 minutes on it here, this couldn't feel any slower.

 

[Reverb Shock]

Lost connection to the download server. It hasn't reconnected in the last five minutes. Guess I won't be playing today :/ Why is this happening on a game that had already been preloaded?

 

[Qassim]

Well.. I know that absolutely beautiful performance is possible! I'm not going to keep it at this 100-144fps though, I'm just going to get through the opening missions and then start tweaking with the settings.

 

[Kayant]

NVIDIA TXAA grayed out for anyone else?

You need to enable MSAA first.

 

[d00d3n]

Sorry, still stuck in menus carefully considering life decisions.

GTA Online has ingame chat for PC

 

[Ziffles]

27k players on steam, going up gradually.

 

[Aztechnology]

970 GTX, 4.7ghz 4670k ran the benchmark at all maxed settings, ran flawlessly. Waiting for results it says, you failed the mission because you left your crew behind? Wat?

 

[Blizzard]

Is happening to me as well. weird

Apparently we're not alone:

[Chris Murphy]

So I cleared my hard drive with 14GB spare (ssd). The un-encryption has eaten all of that up... I'm running out of ways to make space.

 

[FarmerGiles]

Ok, now the RSC servers seem to be completely down. At least for me anyway, no amount of Pause/Unpause is fixing it

 

[Soroc]

If you are stuck at reconnecting, exit out altogether and launch again.

I was just hitting pause/retry and it wasn't connecting.

After exiting out completely and launching again it continues to download a bit before losing connection and repeating above.

Awesome! I am shocked online is even working.

 

[Dr.Acula]

What the fuuuuck! This game is taking up almost 200 GB while unpacking! I've run out of games to uninstall to make room.

Steam or R*? I hope this doesn't happen to me, my HDD is only 238, and I will only have ~70+ gigs free when I'm finished DLing.

 

[The Dear Leader]

Should I install the AMD drivers even though I don't have a crossfire setup? I didn't see any info in the notes other than Crossfire profiles.

"checking your text for profanity, please wait"

That worked a few times but now I'm downloading at a great 0 bytes / sec

Steam. I'm freeing up a few more gigs now, I'll cross my fingers.

Same here :*(

Yep I haven't seen any downloading in a while now

Has this been posted:

Dear Steam Customer,

We recently learned of an issue that can impact players attempting to install Grand Theft Auto V on Windows PCs. For those experiencing this issue, you have three options available to you at this time.

First, Rockstar Games intends to have a fix for this issue soon.

Second, customers can try the manual work around detailed below.

Third, if neither of the above works for you, the self-refund tool will continue to be available until the official fix is released.

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

Please see below for more information from Rockstar Games, including details on the manual workaround.

The Steam Team

We have identified an issue where players with Windows usernames that include characters not found in the table at the bottom of this page will likely run into difficulties when attempting to download, install, or play GTAV. We are currently working on a fix for this issue.

If you don’t want to wait for a fix, you need to create a new Administrator User Account for your Windows system that only includes letters A to Z, a to z or numbers 0-9 from the basic roman alphabet. For a full list of supported characters, see the table at the bottom of this page. Please note that simply renaming your current User Account will not correct this issue. To create the account, follow these instructions from Microsoft’s website:

Windows 8/8.1:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows-8
Windows 7:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows-7
Windows Vista:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-user-account#create-user-account=windows-vista
We will update this support article with any new information as soon as we have it, including expected timing of a fix and whether you will be able to transfer progress on the newly-created Windows username over to your original Windows user account.

If you would like to receive an automatic update via email when there is more information about a fix, please log into the Support Site and click Subscribe at the top of this page.

[Pop On Arrival]

this unpacking shit is infuriating.

 

[Aspirations26]

"Experience GTA V at 60 Kb a second on PC..."

lol

I have been hitting pause/unpause over a 100 times already. Slowly working my way there 222/353mb.

 

[GatticusFinch]

100k a second what is this shit I don't even. Guess I'm not playing tonight.

 

[Soroc]

That worked a few times but now I'm downloading at a great 0 bytes / sec

arrgghh!

Confirmed on the last time I quit and restarted Now just sitting at 0 bytes/s

Twitch streams are now working again for me, so whatever it was might be fixed.

 

[JBourne]

Welp. Have a tiny sliver of the 2nd patch left to download, but I can't connect to the download server.

 

[Komo]

My friend is telling me not to make a new RSC account and link my old one for returning-player content

... But I hate my old username so muuuuch. Guuuh.

 

[Xyber]

How fucking fast is your internet?

500Mbit, but Steam was only letting me download at ~30MB for the most part. Would've been done much faster if I got all 55MB/s.

 

[Kusagari]

This unpacking wait is unbearable.

 

[Cramoss]

For the RSC, how many patches are?

 

[LeonSPBR]

There is now over 200K people on twitch watching GTA V...

 

[Gtagentleman]

 

[bakeray]

failed zlib call 2x

 

[Buzzbrad]

Should I install the AMD drivers even though I don't have a crossfire setup? I didn't see any info in the notes other than Crossfire profiles.

Yes because AMD is infamous for poor description of patch notes. I am sure there is GTA V improvements.

 

[Eraser_Arcade]

I finally past the 5 minute mark, only for it to go back to 10 minutes.

Edit: Now at one minute left, all of a sudden. Woohoo!

 

[Gambit61]

Still stuck at the update window. RSC PLS

"checking your text for profanity, please wait"

Yo, no profanity up in this bitch.

Lol at how he crashed the car into the tanks =).

 

[beeswax]

I grabbed the ~300mb update from a non-legit source and now I'm in!

 

[DasFool]

Anyone having an issue where some characters/objects have a blocky outline? Can't really post a photo, just looks like edges of surfaces/hair/etc. turn into squares.
