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

fired this up on my new rig today for a blast. what a poorly optimised mess it is

400 meg fibre connection and the entire game running off a sabrent rocket and the loading times are horrendous


great fun though apart from the griefers and modders

By this I'm assuming you are referring to joining an online lobby, your brand new PC and amazing internet won't help with loading times, online servers use P2P and it is what it is, you can load into single player first to speed up with joining an online lobby or look into port forwarding if you're that bothered.

Have to disagree with you there. The game is very well optimised from the lowest to the best. I have had it running on a G3258 a 6950 and very playable.

Always remember, your internet is only as fast as the slowest point. ;)

However, the servers have been trashed over the past 10 days because of the Epic offer and the sheer popularity of the game at the moment.

Peak most days is 250K on steam alone and it is number three on twitch :confused::confused::confused:

Now sold 130 million copies, still earning ridiculous amounts of money. For a 7-year-old game, it is quite impressive.
 
I was looking for something to do tonight so decided to mod this again now I'm on better hardware. Already its looking incredible and I'm nowhere near satisfied on the amount of mods I've got.

List so far;

Redux overhaul
Reshade (using Ultrav3)
Epic Explosions XX
Realistic weapon sounds
Raider's Blood, Violence, Melee & Destruction
4K Water
Insane Rain
HD Tatoos
New Strippers
Hookers Improved
4k map
LA real billboards
Colourful HUD
Real Names for GTAV.

Nice little start this evening. If you use any that you recommend I take a look at, then drop me a message here.

Loading times are a joke I’ve not experienced such a thing since owning a spectrum.

I find the game a drag it’s just geared toward players buying shark cards.

Not currently but I do have a rough video up on YouTube of the last time I used the majority of these mods. It is years old on older hardware also. It's only phone footage as back then I had issues with recording software, but it might give you an idea.


Once I'm done the next few days I'll get a more up to date video up.

@ceaton88 did a quick video with these mods last night for you.

haha cheers, I agree with the comment above you have a natural voice for commentary lol. “Go on my soN!!”

modded GTA 5 looks insane, I have a copy of Redux installed and meaning to play through the game again, but then fell through a black hole that is modded GTA 4 and it threw me off track.

I would imagine the mods and community to be an even bigger for 5 so am going to stay far away as it gets really addictive and time consuming :p

It only took me an hour to download, install and edit the files to get these dozen or so working. But yes I agree, the amount of incredible mods on offer, you could get totally lost in it.

And thanks ppl to kind on here.

Nice video, thanks for uploading.

Guessing you can't go online with these mods, is it easy (or not) to disable them if I ever decide to venture online?

No you can't go online with them, Openiv works in such a way that when you go online it doesn't load anything from the mod folder. Although in saying that I did get a week ban, not sure if that was from Openiv not loading the proper vanilla unmodded game or whether it was taking millions from hackers. You can always have two installs for safety, that's what other do. Load from steam when you want to go online, launch from Openiv to play single player.

And thanks. It doesn't take long, if anyone gets stuck I can always help out. But honestly, it's very straight forward.

Folks, I re-installed this having recently grabbed it on Epic. I have zero interest in the cack that is loading screen simulator aka Online...

I'd like to play SP mode. The last time I attempted to use a popular trainer to spawn in vehicles etc, it made one particular mission broken somehow - where you first pick up Tanya just outside Franklins house. She just wouldn't get in the car. Do trainers still cause issues in SP?

Yep worked nicely, cheers. I loaded up an old save from 2016 and set the town alight within the first 10minutes so the trainer works well enough. I'll retry story mode from scratch once I work out what mods to use and if I still need OpenV or whatever it was that managed mods.

Great to see that Natural Vision mod progressing along so nicely!
