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

[Josh]

Why must you hurt me so?

I don't know! I really want to but it'll take me months to get into a decent routine again

You have clearly slacked during your TS/BF hiatus! I'll be on until I can't keep my eyes open, probably somtime around 4am.

 

[Josh]

Nope. Press weren't sent anything.

Could be they have been sent the game but the NDA is still valid.

 

[Josh]

Doesn't seem to be the case;

Woah, I stand very much corrected. That does seem very odd.

Not sure if it's a good thing or not. The Ubisoft hater in me says it's a bad thing.

We will just have to hope R* are the exception to the rule.

 

[Josh]

I have 10 leave days to take before now and the months end.

I feel that my daughters birthday tomorrow is a good enough reason to take the day off, the fact that GTAV coincides with this is merely good fortune.

I just hope I can run it ok on my 780!

Me and you both man! I even have an overclock profile saved just in case I need a little more grunt!

 

[Josh]

I'll be on a midnight, if there is a huge patch I will start it running, go to bed wake up and have a play with everything (fingers, toes and nuts crossed) in the morning.

 

[Josh]

Lucky, I have work

Your time will come my young padawan!

 

[Josh]

cainer you on commission bud?

 

[Josh]

StupLid - whats your R* name dude - think you are the only regular I don't have yet

 

[Josh]

I've tried, keeps telling me it will be done but then doesn't change.

 

[Josh]

I have the day off tomorrow so will be on TS.

i just tried and it said it can take upto 30 mins to take effect, how long ago did you try it?

Hour or so ago.

The only time I've seen it change is when K1LL did it.

 

[Josh]

Get a program called Treesize mate, makes it very easy to see what is taking disk space

Yeah we have Treesize Pro at work, good piece of kit, although it's pretty slow for us.

 

[Josh]

Thankyou! I can't believe this isn't explained somewhere, surely it shoudl be in the first page of this thread?

Want me to play the game for you as well? There are two ways to get this game, it's either Steam or R*.

Either

Go to Steam and redeem the game

Or

Go to R* and redeem the game.

It's not rocket science is it.

 

[Josh]

Handbags at dawn!!

(to be fair it took me 5 mins to figure it out earlier as I am not familiar with the R* site)

Think you two were separated at birth then

I didn't think we needed to have a guide for redeeming the game code.

I shall start work straight away.

 

[Josh]

Can you please include how to install the retail game I'm not familiar with dvds?



Ps why am I still peasant status on the social club, I want promoting now

You're not, you are a representative of the OcUK Crew on my screen.

 

[Josh]

dont make me look at that lol

 

[Josh]

Dang. So GTA V appears to have installed itself in my root D:/Games folder instead of D:/Games/GTA5/

If I try and cut and paste all the files into the folder manually, when I run the launcher it tries to download all 60gb again.

Can anyone think of a way around this, or should I just put up with the files making a mess in the main games directory?

I did the exact same, even have the same drive letter. I can't find a way around it, I don't want to muck it up before the game starts just in case!

 

[Josh]

Wow, what a lovely person you are!

Thanks bud <3

 

[Josh]

Me 3, hoping beyond hope I am wrong.

 

[Josh]

Latest drivers from both camps added to the OP.

 

[Josh]

i am ready...
