***Official GTAV PC Thread*** [Important warning updated in the OP]

Hi all , was playing this for a few hours yesterday, the graphics are amazing

AMD 8350 @ 4.4ghz
MSI 290 OC Gaming edition
8GB 1866mhz ddr 3

running @ 1080p , have all settings on very high to high, it actually was already set up for me, i just changed MSAA to 2X, with it on or off i get same performance, im getting average 55fps does hit 60fps well, but i do see stuttering when turning fast or spinning on one spot, drops to 40 fps

just think the cause is my AMD CPU and not the graphics card, would love to buy a intel i7, but with skylake coming soon is it worth to just wait ?

Thanks

No one can tell for sure, what DX12 is going to do. But I would imagine your CPU will realise it's potential in DX 12 games. So in otherwords, you may be suffering now (as DX11 is very single thread heavy, needs IPC per core) but DX12 will be much better multithreaded.

I do, why ram? If you get nudged when your in the middle of a big group fair do's but if you want to just ram people all game you can go find your own lobby to play in.

As you said yourself:

"It's a game, I'd rather muck about and have fun!"

"That's it. If I want a try hard race I'd play Dirt3."

:p
 
Must give the online thing a go at some point (away this weekend) but I am more of a fun than race player.
Can't fly a plane properly either. Is it easier with a pad?
 
Can the retail version key be used to download the game? I got the retail version for my second pc but the DVD drive is an external USB drive and it’s slow so it will take a long time to install 7 disks.

Yeah but mucking about and having fun isn't the same as "just troll and ram all the way through the race". As you said yourself that causes "much rage" - I want to chill out and laugh not get ragey at a game.

If I get spun out or hit I don't cry about "higher ranks" and then turn around and too spite everyone intend to ram at every opportunity.

I actively try to avoid ramming, sometimes it's bloody hard, esp with boulders, cars, peds, and dodgy handling.

Are you just salty because you don't finish top on everything like BF4? ;)

I actually don't know. But depending on your internet connection and the mood of the R* DL client - it might be faster to install from DVD!! :p
 
So, I downloaded this last night and went to play it now and all my textures are blacked out. Opened R* Social Club and it's downloading the entire 60GB again. Any help?

EDIT: Ignore, fixed it.

It's a peeve of mine when people have issues and do exactly that, say they fixed an issue and don't say how - so you've got endless threads of endless problems on endless software/devices with nobody actually saying how they did it.

I don't have a problem with the game luckily, but I've come across dozens and dozens of these whilst trying to help other people with their problems. :rage:.

Some people find ramming others and trolling fun. I personally don't but who am I to judge those who do? If someone wants to be a wind up merchant and you get wound up - they win. Suck it up and let your ability in the game do the talking :D

But at the end of the day, isn't all fun on a game usually at the expense of others in one way or another?
 
Err... something weird has just happened.



Anyone have any idea why it suddenly looks like this after running perfectly? I hadn't touched any settings at all. I have since tried some different settings to see if I could get it back to normal but nothings worked. Thanks. :confused:

Fixed it by switching to DX10.1 from DX10.
 
I enjoy racing cleanly as it takes skill to win, but if you go into a game like GTA and expect clean, tight racing from everyone you're being a bit silly :rolleyes:

Sorry I was talking to Nexus, but to answer your question, you buy the game & play it the way you want too,

But doesn't mean I have to play with those people, and as for "your ability in the game" that gets ever so slightly hampered when someone is setting out to ram you off the road at any given opportunity.
 
Trolls will be trolls, just like those who kill you then hide in their houses.

I managed to win a race with loop the loops and people were trolling the entrance to the ramp :D
 
Anyone else keeps having crashes to their desktop ?

I've got the retail version, played it fine for last 3 days, untill yesterday it keps crashing.

Eventually found out it crashes whenever i try and aim my gun from a vehicle.
Googled it and noticed loads of other people have the same problem.

A lot of them seem to be stuck on that jewerly heist mission where you have to aim/shoot at the police from that van following the motorbike ride, but i played that part fine without issue's.

My problems started when i unlocked Trevor, but they're not consistent, sometime i can shoot fine from a car, but most times (probably 8 out of 10) it crashes.

I just swapped back to Michael and have the same problem.

It's really frustrating and ruining the game!

I've read some options online i tried, which included checking all downloaded files (the ones post installation) with this checksum app, i swapped the settings from directx 11 to 10.1 ingame (someone said that helped) and i've already got the latest updates/software for everything (gfu, win update, etc)

I'm running it on a i5 3570K (3.40 Ghz), win 8.1, 16 GB DDR3, and a MSI HD 7950 Twin Frozr III OC V2 3072MB GDDR5 card.

It played fine with high settings for 2 days, but now it's constantly crashing and doing my head in.

The launcher log shows the following, which means nothing to me i'm affraid :

Anyone else having the same issue and/or a possible solution ? This is all in single player mode by the way, haven't even tried online yet.

I know who you were talking to, I was picking up on your comments as it is a public discussion.

I agree, just dont play with them. Or fight fire with fire. Then everyone rides the gravy train :)

Yeah, reminds me of those posters who make a thread detailing a problem, but then edit it later saying "nvm fixed it ;')" and don't post the fix.

Worse one is when somebody who knows the fix say "I Pm'd you the fix ;')" and doesn't let anyone else know.

IMO, GTA is all about the trolling fun, I said that to you and others many times before the game even released ;) If we wanted proper races then surely we should be playing the likes of dirt 3? :p

Do you really think this is how I am being though?

"I don't cry about "higher ranks" and then turn around and too spite everyone intend to ram at every opportunity"

Even when I rammed you guys on the first night and we were all low ranks? :confused:

And yes that is where my point leads to just having fun in these racing games especially when you got high rank players as you said yourself many times last night, the highest rank player won 9/10 times, if we are going to be taking these racing games sort of seriously then surely it be best to have a rank limit on?

I played quite a few racing games with randoms (all lower rank than me with less races done too) yesterday and couldn't stop laughing, the amount of ramming people were doing was hilarious imo and resulted in sooooo many epic crashes etc. It doesn't bother me if I get rammed, it is just a game :)

Some people find ramming others and trolling fun. I personally don't but who am I to judge those who do? If someone wants to be a wind up merchant and you get wound up - they win. Suck it up and let your ability in the game do the talking :D

Couldn't agree more.


But don't worry, I will stick to being a good boy for the races!
