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

[GAM8LE]

Finally sorted after 29 hours and 2 attempts, those rockstar serves are unbelievable bad.

I have had to download and reinstall GTA twice since release - release was quite bad but r* happily gave cdkeys preload files to add to Kickasstorrents which was epic of them.

Second two times was via the R*SC launcher and it was fine - good 12mbps including patches etc

Coming on now if anyone is about?

I'll be heading on in 15 or so once I've got the washing in and grabbed a beer

Does anyone get this error and is there a way to fix it?

Completely ruining the game for me.

 

[uscool]

Seems i've been dl'ing it at a rough time, i'm on 36meg fibre and the most i was getting was 4.50mb/s, and that's when it wasn't reconnecting.

[chris-82]

First time on tonight and I've got to say the servers seem awful! Really slow loading, game has frozen on me multiple times(in load screen), been kicked about 4-5 times .
Is this normal?

 

[Clairvoyant]

I jumped on basically for the real first time online. No clue what I was doing (just getting killed a lot) then it CTD. lol

i suppose its the waiting game to see what punishment they deliver,hopefully if its a false claim they will deal with it appropriately.

"You have been banned from GTA Online. Please return to GTA5"

Thats it game over. All I did was receive dropped cash from a hacker.

I'm assuming pleading your case is a waste of time?

 

[Danny75]

Thanks, that sounds interesting! The way money works in the SP is poorly implemented: you go almost the whole game with a few tens of thousands (if that - most missions don't actually reward you with money), the assassination missions start early and there's no indication that the stock market link with them is so massively valuable, and then it's only right at the end that you really get into the millions.

Yes, the assassination missions become available early but you can and should leave them to the end and do everything else available with every character, including the big heists. I agree it's not clear (although Lester does provide hints). Could start a new game and do it differently. You can end up with over a billion.

if thats the case i would certainly atleast try.

Lol, rather hilariously the case with R* Support shows as being opened by me, has one comment saying "this is a complaint regarding a ban" and is closed as Solved .

I've asked for full details of what I am supposed to have done to warrant a ban. All I've done is receive cash from a hacker, which is unavoidable if they drop it on you.

 

[Skeeter]

Wow, got a response from them pretty quickly!

There will be no one left to play the game, just about everybody has come across money bags in one form or another.

Yep.

 

[savagesam117]

Oh no.. I've picked them up. The other day someone was just dropping them on my head when I was messing around killing people! Hope I don't get banned for that!
