Support NeoGAF

[Salsa]

my unpacking bar keeps filling but my estimated time keeps escalating

 

[Bollocks]

ffs my screen is stuck on the loading indicator screen, no matter what I press it stays there

 

[Tenck]

that doesnt sound annoying at all

You look at your fingers when playing on KB/M?

 

[Rnr1224]

man this 300mb update is killing me. Restarted about 4 times now!

 

[Unain]

This is what I get every time I launch the game. Going back and forth between waiting for a fix or trying a clean OS and downloading again.

Same here .
Found no solution yet.

 

[Nzyme32]

Link?

Lookup Towelliee on twitch - one of the top GTA V streamers at the moment

Same here. It went down to 45 secs then it jumped to 1 hour.

Their solution is "uninstall and reinstall Social Club," which boils down to "uninstall and reinstall GTAV."

lol jesus. I wonder, now that its not a preload - do I need to unpack the files again? that was brutal.

Hahaha, what the fuck? I tried to run a benchmark and I think it loaded up the single player with the benchmark and some weird glitchy shit happened where the benchmark would cut into the single player and I failed the first mission while benchmarking.

 

[Intheflorsh]

Now I have to redownload everything for some unexplained reason. This really sucks, Rockstar.

 

[Lagamorph]

So....everytime I launch the game (Steam version), it decides to revert to 800x600 Resolution at 60Hz refresh, instead of 1920x1080 at 144Hz.

Lovely.


Seems that GeForce Experience never detects that I've launched the game to apply the optimal settings for the drivers either.

yeah seems to be a known bug. Best to not run the benchmark until you've played the game some lol

 

[undercoverb0ss]

I'm stuck reconnecting.... and it never re-initializes the download

 

[Salsa]

You look at your fingers when playing on KB/M?

I play in a dark room

 

[JBourne]

The servers finally laxed up a bit, downloading at a blazing 500 KB/s.

I still can't connect.

 

[Dinjoralo]

So it downloaded the update and restarted.
FOR FUCKS SAKE.

 

[Shake Appeal]

Last time I buy a non-Steam version of a game from Rockstar.

LOL, even to put in a support ticket, it pops up with "You have selected "PC" as your platform. Please upload a DxDiag and MSInfo from your PC to continue using the "Add File" link above."

No, Rockstar. I won't.

Yeah that's rough. Meanwhile I have everything sorted but unpacking the decrypted files is taking ages

 

[Kusagari]

What the fuck is going on? I start it on Steam it makes me sign into my Rockstar account and then I get a blurb with Link these accounts? on the end and nowhere to click.

 

[KINGofCRA5H]

these posts are scaring me guys -.-

No, Rockstar. I won't.

Putting in a support ticket is pointless. Rockstar support is incompetent. They just give generic solutions.

 

[BaronMonstro]

Lol 350mb download finally finished only for it to just start redownloading it.

Luv u rockstar <3

 

[Gaz_RB]

First GTA Movie in PC editor

That was great. Expecting some really great stuff out of the video editor.

 

[Dinjoralo]

Okay, whoever had the external download to the 300 mb patch needs to just spill the beans. Please.

 

[SecondStage]

Finally beat the 353MB boss!

 

[Blizzard]

I've never played a GTA game.

Watching a stream for this gives me the urge to impulse buy a huge, $60 game, download it, and try to spend the game being as law-abiding as possible. Not randomly stealing or murdering, obeying traffic laws, and so forth.

That's normal, right?

 

[Imp the Dimp]

i5 4670k (not overclocked), GTX 970, 8GB cannot maintain 60 fps on mostly Very High and Ultra settings @1080p sadly. :/ Getting dips into the low 40s in the city with my rig.

 

[AndyBNV]

If you want to run the benchmark, you need to finish the first mission and get to the first save point in the city. After you've woken up you can run the full benchmark and get a full output in C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Benchmarks

 

[Intheflorsh]

Let's be fair to Rockstar, they only had two years to prepare for the launch. You can't expect perfection.

 

[Abilidebob]

By the way, GTA V IS now the record owner for the non-Valve game with the most concurrent players on Steam.

 

[Soroc]

Okay, whoever had the external download to the 300 mb patch needs to just spill the beans. Please.

Yeah no kidding... Really hate when someone does that shit. Hey everyone look at me, I figured out a solution isn't that great! Hell no, I'm not telling anyone!

Runs off gloating....

 

[dmr87]

Wrong thread

 

[serenewarfare]

Found a link for the 300 MB patch. Not sure if I'm allowed to share it here.

 

[Panda Rin]

so...shit. Apparently I already had a RSC account linked to my steam account, and I activated the code under my new account...so I'm SOL? Won't let me go past the launcher...

 

[ussjtrunks]

Game crashes at rockstar social club D: cant do anything

 

[styl3s]

Got it updated and got through the beginning parts

Spoiler

first "heist" and the car repo

crashed like 90 times because driving with a keyboard is infuriating so i am def going to hook up the X1 controller.

Runs like absolute butter maxed out on my i5/8gbram/980 but i see what a lot of reviewers were saying when they did their impressions, it's a pretty game but it's not THAT impressive if you have already seen the jump from previous to current gen but the 60fps makes it so much better, i topped out at like 87 in the open world but i had to turn on vsync because it was giving me some tearing. I am not tech expert or will pretend to know what any of the settings do or describe the major differences but outright the vegetation, population, lighting and shadow stuck out to me. Hopefully the online works? Haven't tested.

really odd given other reports

do you have the game ready driver?

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

documents/rockstar games/gtav/user music is the user music folder

 

[Imp the Dimp]

yes I do

 

[Tigersprite]

Anyone who's downloaded the file want to share? Because the Rockstar servers just seem to be completely down now.

 

[Chris Murphy]

They should really say that you need 120GB of free hard drive to extract this mother fucker.

My 150ishGB intel SSD might not be able to to free that much.

 

[Soroc]

Finally beat the 353MB boss!

Congrats!

It faked me out, had it completed but then the boss never dropped the key to move to the next level.

Starting the 353MB level all over again for the 3rd time

 

[gordon1470]

300 MB patch download failed. I have to start it again.

 

[Sevenfold]

Game is DOA for me. Crashes straight away with either nothing or Launcher stop... Tried verifying/reinstalling SC/admin/no av/fw/comp mode. Launching the game by Steam and using launcher from root folder gives me the crash, launching with GTA5.exe gives me a 'use Playgtav.exe' message. Said file doesn't exist on my PC. WTF?

 

[Hero_of_the_Day]

Lol 350mb download finally finished only for it to just start redownloading it.

Same here. Fuck me.

Whoever has a link should share. Torrent sites are fine as long as you're not pirating shit, which this isnt.

 

[JigglesBunny]

I will stay calm.
I will maintain my collected attitude.
This is okay.
Don't let the darkness in...
Don't let the monster come out...
GAF... GAF HELP ME.

GAF. GAF!
DAMMIT ROCKSTAR!
YOU DID THIS TO M----

 

[DivineRage002]

Keep getting references to PlayGTA.exe, but I can't see such file in the install directory, only GTA5 and GTA5Laucher.

I tried moving the launcher to another directory and running an integrity check, will post results.

 

[Enter the Dragon Punch]

yes I do

I have the EXACT same setup and performance

 

[styl3s]

Let's be fair to Rockstar, they only had two years to prepare for the launch. You can't expect perfection.

Look at MMO's that have half a decade if not longer to launch and still have problems. Shit, Blizzard can't even launch an expansion 10 years later without shit breaking.

I know it's not a MMO but i very rarely expect anything to work perfectly on day 1 that has a huge multiplayer component.
