Any ideas how to fix it? It only started happening after the latest patch this morning.

Then I don't do exactly that and prove your point if it's that easy?

Lol. The blending is unchanged its the resolution that is different.
Now could it be changed and look better? Maybe, but it has nothing to do with blending.
Yes, but there are no scripted missions for solo players, right? There's no "go here, do this, escape the police, get rewarded" type of missions?

Yeah not really. There wasn't in single player either though. You could go do gang wars. They are always open in the sense that you just go into a red circle wait a bit and a ton of guys spawn in. None other I can think of. But you could always just start causing havoc too and fight the police at any time.

There is an alpha blending issue on some of the facial hair compared to last generation / console versions.
I haven't had that specific issue so I don't know. Maybe there's some extra help in the Performance thread. http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1028221&highlight=gta+v
I did have a problem with Avast Antivirus thinking the launcher was a virus and it deleted it. So if you have Avast maybe it's causing issues? If you have the steam version you can verify the game files and see if that does anything.

It's a resoltion holdover from previous gen problem that R* should address. They probably just up scaled models and called it a day more or less. Or they should change the blending. But it's last gens fault and rockstar just doesn't care that much.
Is there some way for me to fix menu lag? Half of my key presses aren't picked up while navigating the menu, or sometimes it reads a single press as two and skips over options. The game runs amazing outside of the menu.
I'm not really sure what my goal should be in Online mode. I'm joining random jobs and getting cash but don't know what to really spend it on. Some of the races are super fun but I haven't really liked any of the deathmatch modes. I joined some race where only I can see the checkpoints and have to tell my driver over voice but this person apparently had voice volume off and couldn't hear me. Very frustrating when he followed people the wrong way.
Also, is it just me or does losing wanted level take about 5x longer online v.s. single player?

Flying in this game is so freaking hard. Both keyboard and controller are impossibl sometimes. I don't know what it is that separetes the flying controls in GTA from other games but it just feels awkward.
Flying with mouse set to "vehicle" is a little better, but it doesnt feel as good as something like BF3/4.

Yeah, kb+m controls are garbage for jets. Controller is fine, it's the artificial turbulence they add till you get max flying stat that sucks and I hope they change that or someone mods it out. It's fine in a storm, but, it's not always storming and it feels like it is.
It does feel like that sometimes.

I might be imagining things.. but did the patch change how the lighting looks? It's like there's a blue tint, colors don't looks as vibrant anymore.
I tested all time of days/weathers in director mode and something looks different...

Planes seem fine to me. Not great, but manageable. Helicopters I hate tho. Can't get better than silver on their challenges and hovering is crap.
It used to be great fun flying them in previous GTA games for me.

Yeah arial vehicles are pretty shoddy for the most part in V imo. The repeating rumble that occurs makes me fucking furious. And choppers were really meh too, impossible to do all the cool shit you could in IV. Bikes were really dissapointing too, they act like they're glued to the ground. V has better car physics than basically all the modern open world games, but IV was godlike, damn it.

I'm not so sure. I changed the resolution to 800x600 or whatever the lowest possible resolution is. You can still see a hard cut off point as if the alpha is at either 0 or 1 for that particular texture.
I am quite sure this is a newly introduced bug.

Hmm, not sure then. I haven't noticed it, but I wouldn't put it past it happening.
Apparently changing mouse input from Raw to Direct (or something like that) fixes menu lag.
As for online, just do whatever ya want! Spend the money on cars/apartments/planes/etc.
Merryweather heist... freighter or off-shore, which one to chose?
I read somewhere that the submersible used during both missions is much more durable than the one found at the sonar collections dock(able to withstand pressure at the deepest point of the ocean), but can only be used after heist completion if the offshore method was chosen(spawns on a rig in the Sandy Shores airfield). Are there any similar benefits to the freighter aproach?

Having done both, IMO the off shore approach is MUCH more fun.
Also I've never heard about the ability of one version over the other to reach further depths; I'm not even sure you can drive that particular sub after the mission? I've played about with the one you get given after you buy the dock plenty of time, and have been pretty deep in it, i'd dismiss what you heard unless someone else knows any more.
Personally, I prefer the Freighter choice. Easier imo and more action going on than the off-shore choice.

Why does Michael's goatee look better on PS3?
It looks like you have some graphic detail set down to get that effect because this is what some of the beards look like on my PC. Also, to somewhat demonstrate Jediyoshi's point about things sometimes looking better (ie. smoother) at lower resolution, I have put the 1152p pic first then the 720p version. This is also why the pornography industry didn't adopt HD that readily because it was highlighting natural flaws in their actors' skin:

The dumbed-down wound system is unfortunate. Guess they had to make sacrifices to fit the game onto last-gen consoles. Same with the toned down Euphoria physics.
What are your settings? Do you have MSAA off? Because that's how it looks for me if I turn if off. The stubbled style looks fine in my game too, but that goatee pic still doesn't look good at all to me. Just look at the centre under his nose. See how the hair just kind of cuts off. On PS3, it blends properly.
Just did a quick search and found the source:

The last part could be a mission specific thing though.

Cool I never knew, well in any case I prefer the offshore method. I think it's quite a lot more cinematic and a bit harder, so if you do that then it's a win win.
All I did was close and relaunch the launcher and I was back to playing like normal. Lost progress on a mission which was annoying, though.

That's not the goatee, that's stubble given how it joins up with his side burns.
And here's the magic of resolution: I have taken my 720p image and scaled it in Photoshop to the same res as the PS3 pic you posted. Look at that increased blending! If I turned the texture detail down to PS3 levels, I could probably fully replicate it which is somewhat the point of what others have been saying here: the lower resolution hides what the goatee was supposed to look like, which isn't terribly great.

Ah, my mistake, it appears it is the stubble. Regardless, that scaled image still shows the lack of blending.
Also my settings are similar to yours, just with shadows and reflections set to high, and a resolution of 1920 x 1080.

Last night I learned a valuable lesson about playing the Pacific Standard Heist with randoms......don't.
After guiding a couple of couple of guys through all the setup steps without a single failure, we hit the actual heist like a brick wall. It was at least partially my fault, because I should have insisted that we restart the heist when one of our idiot teammates started shooting hostages. But never having done the heist with Noose on us, I didn't realize how much worse it was going to be. So we soldiered on through the first street fight, and after about 8 or 9 attempts, reached the bikes for the getaway. I had all of the cash, since the other bag man was too busy shooting guards up top to grab the money. We hit the checkpoint with around $925,000.
And then we proceeded to fail over, and over, and over, and over, and over again. Two of the guys were absolutely awful at riding the bikes. They could barely avoid even the simplest roadblocks. So we abandoned the bike idea and tried cars, except with Noose on us, even just getting to the metal bridge in Blaine County was a challenge. And the other competent rider refused to help the other terrible one, because he was an idiot and kept insisting that him solo on a bike would be the only way we could complete the mission.
We hit the $550k minimum take long before one of the guys just gave up and left. So after well over an hour pushing these guys through all of the setup and this hellacious heist, came out with nothing to show for it. And word to the wise, never keep going through that heist with Noose involved, unless you're just looking for a challenge and all of your teammates are experienced riders.
Never again.

Anyone else annoyed that it's been almost two years since the original launch of GTAV, and in multiplayer we still don't have hairstyles for females longer than chin length? I mean, I understand not having hair that drapes down like a cape, but not even shoulder-length hair? Trevor has shoulder length hair options, it's not like this is out of their capabilities.
And that's among countless clothing options I see which are NPC exclusive still, like thighboots or tube tops. And the only normal looking jackets for females are the forced-shut heist jackets. Nevermind the fact that the facegen for MP characters makes everyone look sameish and ugly.

It doesn't happen everytime for me, but the fact that it happens at all is goddamn annoying. Made a support ticket about it, hopefully it gets fixed.

This is what I was talking about earlier.
I found a screenshot taken before the patch, time of day is midday sunny:
(sorry for the crappy JPEG, was the only one I could find)
And now after the patch with the same time of day:
Notice how the sky looks all purple instead of natural blue, the colors aren't nearly as pretty anymore

I see what you mean. I think that's just weather differences. Unless it's still like that at all times then yeah, that's def worse.
