I've got the Redux mod running nicely but would love to give the Natural Vision Evolved one a go - looks like you have to contribute to the developer though and I don't know if I'll use it that much!

Apparently NVE hits performance pretty hard, I'm personally not keen on paying for mods especially when Redux takes you 90% of the way imo

Am I missing something on GTA V
The single player game is great, but I can't see the appeal of GTA Online. I've only played it for maybe an hour tops and nearly all of that has been stuck either on loading screens or lobby screens.
It also seems totally lacking in any sort of direction. I've got the criminal enterprise pack which I seem to be able to access. The thing is nearly everything is locked off "until person X calls" with no direction of how I get them to call. Where do I need to go, what do I need to do. The whole thing just seems aimless. I've got a map with lots of icons on it but no idea why I should try one thing over another.

GTA online really requires friends to enjoy it IMO. GTA has been around for years, they've added a ton of content which understandably will be confusing for new players. I'd suggest looking for newbie guides to GTA online via YouTube. With friends, online is a lot of fun - the Heists are the most fun for me, although I haven't played the new Casino one yet!
There's also an OcUK crew you can join, it's a little bit inactive I believe, but you can join more than one.

Rockstar are practically famous for having absolutely crap UI's and sod all explanations of how ingame systems work well. Hell even their controls have been a mess for years.
my game hasnt been saving for the last few hours so i've had to keep it open in the background whilst afk'ing on the nightclub security cameras,
no point grinding if it wont save what i've already done,
so thought id google to see if they are having issues and came across this..
so it should be saving ok from 9pm our time

I was wondering why my game wouldn't save, although I'm still getting the unable to save message atm.
i just had another run around on there, still getting the wont save msg, also transactions are failing like trying to stock up on snacks at my CEO office :/
i've gone back to afk'ing the security cameras and left the game running in the background... will check back later
im a bit concerned that it might not save at all as it was ment to be back online 82 minutes ago!

I just sold some bunker supplies and it triggered a save for me. I was forced to restart after since I was getting a transaction error shortly after.
nice one, il pop back on there and try it
EDIT: just ran some stock from my nightclub and it triggered the save, cheers

If you ever get the "unable to save" error, alt tab out of the game and right click on GTA in the task bar and click close. You'll notice it won't immedately end the process. Alt tab back in the game and you'll see a prompt appear asking if you want to leave GTA online. At this prompt hit esc to cancel and it should then trigger a save. Works every time for me.
On another note, how many here are still actively playing GTA Online ? I'm currently playing it solo. I did all the heists on Xbox right up the Grand Pacific. I've recently moved to PC and wouldn't mind getting a regular group together to go through all the heists including the newer ones like the Casino heist. Hit me up on social club if you fancy it. Name on social club is Fr0dderz
Thing is with GTA online, it's a massive sandbox. It's completely different to the story based single player that has a set laid out campain. There are various forks in the paths you can choose, but ultimately it's very much on rails. GTA online is a completely different game.
When it first launched all those years ago, the game was solely about running missions for named contacts, or doing races. Now, the focus of the game has shifted towards the criminal enterprise. Hence why they're giving out the criminal enterprise starter pack for free all over the place. The game talks you through using your phone to find the places where you can buy real estate, and you can pickup the ones in the starter pack for free. Set the businesses up, and start making money. Once you've got that going this is where the real depth comes in. Do you upgrade your existing business to produce your counterfit cash quicker, or do you expand into the coke business. Or How about the nightclub business .. or gun running , or car stealing ,or running goods for import and export. Then you can start looking at how you make running those businesses easier, do you want the Master Command Terminal in an arcade where you can look at all your enterprises in one place ? do you want a mobile operations center ? etc.. the list goes on.

I've added, is your full name stiffRodderz because thats all it found?
Also, I thought it was common knowledge to use Player Saved Outfits on heist missions where possible so that players can use armour saved outfits, but I'm coming across more and more players who don't know about this :/
Yep, there seems to be a lack of understanding as people really do think they know it all from a yootoobe video. I gave up trying to help players, like telling them not to use the first sea sharks in signal. I have had people bail from my car halfway there bitching, even though they have been told there are more nearer. Then when they get there and the island is cleared they call me out as a modder/hacker/cheat/can I have some money (pick one). Since the epic release have just given up. LOL

Wouldn't have worked see here as to why on the day in question.
I've ran various things with you over the years, you gave me bigger cuts when doing Heists. Only a modder would do such a thing! Pretty sure you had a money reset or a ban at some point too, pretty sneaky doing that to yourself to trick the rest of us.
damn it, i just ran 2 loads of meth and just as i dropped the final (10th) lot the game came up with an error and didnt pay me, the stock went back to the lab minus a few crates,
then exactly the same thing happened with counterfit cash, but also with that run my supplies didnt turn up.. even though i got the text saying they had
what a waste of time

Only five more days of downloading until I can finally play this.
Yeah I was falsely banned But then reinstated as it was a false positive with their useless anticheat. I was doing the shooting achievement in my bunker and because it took a long time that was seen as a possible hack. However when they gave me my account back they did not give me back my money. Which was 40 million.
