I'm 6hrs in myself and haven't been bored of just messing around. Only got 4 campaign missions completed so far.
Decided to get past the intro mission by restarting the game and not draw Aidens gun at all. That worked.
Then something about Pawnee was in a cut scene and I was like...
After a few cut scenes and good nights sleep I exited my hide-out and decided to draw my gun to see what happens. Well it turns out Aiden starts to just randomly fire bullets and again there's no way to holster my gun. I'm lost.

I guess the only way is to get rid of the game at and download/install it all over again. I'm kind of mad, this bug is truly what you call game breaking...

I am really enjoying the game more than I thought I would. I am still very early, but just having fun. I chased down a guy, it was getting dark and then it started raining. Caught him at an intersection. After beating him down, I noticed his car had been smoking and then caught on fire. Funny thing is that he crashed into a Fire Truck, so his car is on fire and then explodes, then the fire truck catches on fire and then it pops causing another car to get damaged and after about 5 minutes it goes up as well. I am just sitting on the corner with all the other pedestrians just watching shit continue to burn and explode. NPC's having cell phones out and taking pics etc. Pretty amazing.
Playing the Xbox One version and the only time I have gotten any screen tearing is in the in-game cinematics, driving around and such there is no slow-down or screen tearing, it is really weird that in the cut scenes, not all, but on some it tears. But it looked damned nice with the lighting, rain and at night. Little rough during the day cycle, but not too bad. Just wish the PC version did not stutter as much as it does.

Its not possible.

Is there any way to cancel out of the phone call you have to repeat every time you start the game? It's incredibly annoying.
Are you playing on PC and if so, do you have a controller connected to it? Maybe it's laying somewhere with one of it's triggers pushed down. Happened to me once.

This game (so far) is much better than I thought it would be. On PC it does look impressive, even if I've had to turn some settings down.
My favorite thing though is the fact that I don't have to run around shooting people like many many other open world games. I look at many of the missions the same way I'd look at a puzzle solving game. I mainly try to get use distractions and traps to lead people over hackable devices and take them out that way. I've done everything I can to not use guns, but occasionally the enemy will back me into a corner that requires it.
My biggest complaint (other than the weird FPS drops while driving) are the wonky controls. Nothing ever feels very precise and switching between weapons, craftables, etc is not easily done on the fly. I don't understand why I can't use the mouse wheel to swap weapons.
Uplay is kind of annoying, but since it came with my graphics card there isn't much you can do but accept it.

Is there another method to these besides hide around the corner and then run up really fast and execute a takedown? I've done the same thing multiple times and it feels like I'm doing it wrong.
PC yeah. But it's a bug sadly, more people reporting it. To holster your gun is just simply pushing one button and it doesn't work on both keyboard and controller. Once you draw your gun there's no way back.

You can't just holster with the tab button?
The last camera is
on the guard by the window just in front if it. You need to access the camera facing him, then use that to trigger a distraction behind him so he walks in front of the box. Then jump to his personal cam
This. Tab holsters weapon for me too.

Seems good to be a console player for once. PS4 best version. Pc owners should go back to LOL.

Got invaded for the first time, person hid on a roof and got to like 79% before I found and killed him. That was really fun!
I just said it doesn't work on both controller and keyboard. So nope, I can't holster my gun with tab. Once I draw my gun there's no way to holster it again. I booted the game without having the controller on at all to make sure keyboard doesn't work either. The game is just bugged. And Googeling on that I found more people who have the same issue.

On Act 2
The Sex trafficing mission is the best so far. So badass when the dude tackles you down and all hell breaks lose.
One of my favorite missions.

You guys who haven't been affected by the bugs yet need to back up your saves everytime you finish for the day.

The driver mission in Act 1 reminded me so much of the beginning of Drive. Felt like a badass.

Another player in co-op can fire out of the window of your car, which might be useful.

So I've been able to do multiple Mobile challenges where I race against the app people. But I can't seem to connect to any other multi-player game sessions. It just says estimated wait 2-3 minutes forever. I'm on PC, any tips?

Someone needs to make a webm of that scene, it looks sooooo good. I legit smiled and awed at the part. Playing on PS4 too.

pc? Same thing here...
After playing the pc version I certainly can't go back to the PS4...
Just wished they fixed the damn online.

Yup, just Mobile Challenge things work, nothing else does.

So annoying. "You prevented the crime! But not in the officially endorsed way. >=|"
It's not even the best mission either. The missions in this game are really awesome.

Thank you and everyone else who responded on the last page. I've been having a lot more success (although I read your replies after I did so I can't credit you guys unfortunately). Thinking outside the box when invading is definitely the key.
After being invaded and invading for a few times I can tell you some info on the mechanics. When you're invading (to hack at least) the person is only made aware that they're being invaded once you hack them. For the 5 minute timer that you have at the start you can go around freely and they have no idea you're there. Once you hack them they get a notification that they're being invaded. You can then initialize the hack. I advise that you speed away from them to a good hiding spot instead of immediately activating the backdoor. Once it is activated you can only move within the blue circle.
I'm not sure about the tailing since I've only been tailed once or twice. If you want them to fail (without you winning) driving away very fast from a tail will guarantee that they fail or that if they follow you you should be able to spot the insanely speeding car behind you.
That "go outside and you get a marker on them tip" one of you guys gave on the last page is pure evil! I'll use it from now on, had a few close calls (one invader I killed at 99%)!

Hmmm same here. I managed to do an FFA Online decrypting with 3 other peeps and since I was winning they eventually left.
Mobile Challenge works everytime but I'm done with those.
The on-foot chases are my favourite, where both you and the NPC have an almost perfectly matched speed resulting in the most long winded, boring and uneventful chase ever seen in a videogame.

I'm just annoyed that he's OBVIOUSLY not running at full speed when chasing someone. It's actually closer to a jog.

I hate driving in the game (PC) but especially escaping Police.
Any tips?
Any tips?
Using keyboard or controller?
If controller, don't throttle entirely, just give it some light squeezes, and hold when you are on a long stretch of road.
