Just got my retail copy and currently have it installing. How much additional data do I need to download once the installation from the DVDs is complete?

Daaamn.
Just out of curiosity guys how do you get the "Self Radio" station to show up? I've got one giant mp3 file in the folder (it's a trap mix) to test the radio thing, but in-game i don't see the radio station anywhere when i flick through. Pretty sure the file location is documents/rockstar games/gta v/user music... Or something like that... So i don't think i put it in the wrong folder.

Yeah, you just need to do a one time online activation and you should be good to go.
Should be around 5 to 6GB.

Woosh, really ? I thought I could avoid servers hammering by getting the retail version.
Good ! Thanks !
I will take this situation vs how RDR ended up.
Silly question but im trying to add GTA5 as a non steam game on steam, get the right shortcut but when I click it in steam it loads for a second, shows the opening screen then stops, its not a huge deal but anyone know why this might be happening?
Wow, 1m sales at launch for GTAV on Steam alone. Considering Steam has been often the most expensive option for GTAV and it's the only place to get a Steam key, that's super impressive. This is a game that has already been released for 4 platforms, the first being 18 months ago.
I hope Rockstar share total numbers, I'll be very interested to see what it has sold.

Agreed, i would really like to know how many times it's been bought.
You need > 1 track in the folder before it'll show up.

So what is the situation with Steam keys? Possible to get one for cheaper than £40. I want the game and I'll pay the £40 if I have to but since I'm buying it for the 3rd time I'd like to get it cheaper.

Just re downloaded the whole game over night, still getting launcher crash. None of the fixes posted online work for me.
There are no steam keys being sold, you can only buy the steam version on steam itself. As for gift trading... I don't know.
Same here, I can't seem to figure out what the issue is.
Just get it from GMG or Nuuvem unless if Steam support is important enough to pay ~£10-20 extra.
My friend is getting launcher issues, can you post what fixed it?

How many console ports even have dedicated servers anymore? I think people have grown tired of asking for something almost the entire AAA industry have refused to provide for years now. It's a shame though. This game would have benefited tremendously from the crazy mods dedicated servers would have allowed.
AH! Thank you, sir! Makes sense lol.

This is true. Both Steam and retail (and all other download providers) need to use the Social Club launcher anyway, so having it on Steam kinda doesn't matter though.
Holy shit!

Question about self radio...
I remember with GTA4 there was something called Independence FM it was the same equivalent as self radio. They would have a clever DJ saying things like "And now playing a song from the artist you pirated off the net" haha, does self radio have the same kind of DJ smartass? I loved that
Also I have 18GB of music on my PC, instead of moving it to the folder for GTA can I just change the folder or make a shortcut or something? I don't want to have to copy over 18GB

The launcher was working fine on my laptop, but on my desktop it would hang on "Loading..." forever and I couldn't even log-in. I did the initial install on my laptop just so I could get the launcher and log-in. Once I did that I copied the "Rockstar Games" folder from My Documents on my laptop into My Documents on my desktop and overwrite all the files there, and it started up and worked.
As I said, I still can't get Social Club to work in-game, but at least I can play single player now.

You can possibly use mklink to make a symlink to your Music folder (open up a DOS prompt as Administrator and type mklink /? for help)
Yes to the shortcut. You could just put a shortcut to the folder, and all other folders in it will be played.Question about self radio...

I remember just making shortcuts of .mp3s in GTA 3. Try shortcut and see if that works.

Haha yup. I've only played a bit, but scenes like the beginning bank job are laughably easy with a mouse.
I was actually really looking forward to using KB & mouse because I've always felt that the gamepad controls in GTA were clunky. I especially hate that the analog sticks auto-center constantly. Is there a way to turn that off?
I actually also don't mind driving with KB/mouse, I guess I'm used to it from the BF games. The default keyboard bindings however are pretty bad, I will need to mess with them.
I was really looking forward to having a totally free camera with the mouse while on foot and driving in the PC version and I have to say its totally worth it, its much more immersive to me, gamepad controls feel slightly tunnel-visioned in this game.

God damn it i got a car stuck in Franklins garage.
Found that big yellow Sandking or something its called, basically like a Ford F650. Anyway, i drove it into the garage at Franklins and now its stuck. The garage door won't even open, it just gets jammed.
Is there any way to fix that or am i fucked?

Save your game and exit. Then go back in to see if it loads the car in the driveway instead of the garage.

Hey guys, is there any way to change my online character's appearance? For some reason it completely screwed my character up after I created him (gave him makeup and stuff?) and it really bothers me. If not, will I lose all of my bonus money if I delete him?
Also, what apartment should I buy first? Thanks for the help!

I'm curious about this - PS4 user here - surely with Mouse aiming it must be totally viable to just start pressing the fire button, rather than aiming first?
On joypad it takes a bit of a step to start shooting before you aim. This means you don't have lock-on or much precision, but it feels much more immersive. So run and gunning must be real good on PC basically?
On the console versions they always say you'll never be able to change your appearance again but if you wipe your local save data when it redownloads your characters from R* servers it prompts you to change their appearance. Not sure on PC though, im sure you will be able to eventually.
