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

For those who have modded GTA to have improved graphics etc, does it matter where you have bought the game from? Will it work if I bought from either steam or epic games? Also what website are you using to view/install these different mods?
 
Been playing this for the last couple of days. Just seem to find lobbies with cheaters or people who are just intent on killing you over and over again….. sigh
 
So Rockstar has bought the group that is managing FiveM and RedM. Cfx.re

Given they tried to shut it down and failed years ago. I suspect they are looking to monetise it because roleplay has made it the Twitch streaming fav for the last few years.

Funny how they embrace a PC mod that has given the game so much exposure yet kill everything else.

Info
 
Just started playing this after finishing Red Dead. Never really given it a good try,enjoying it so far. I tried Cyberpunk but not really to keen on it so going to put some hours into this.

Does seem easy to run as well ive maxed out every setting @1440p, enabled Vsync and GPU is about 50% usage. Plenty of head room for some eye candy mods.
 
If you have that much usage to play with I would start with DLDSR @ 2.25x as the biggest visual upgrade. You can lower AA no need for more than MSAA x2 (MFAA enabled in NVCP) + TXAA and the game should be looking crisp

Ok ill look into that,the only game ive ever modded was Assetto Corsa. I was reading about Naturalvision evolved is that not a good starting point?
 
Wish I could get playing this on PC. Got it free on Epic years ago, but never had a PC then. However I've spent over 3 months engaging with Epic and Rockstar and still no further forward. Apparently my Epic account is linked to a Rockstar social account that I've never heard of nor have an email matching it. Trying to get them to unlink said social account is proving hard work. Think I'll have to cave and make a new social account with a new email account. 2hy I have to log jn to the flipping thing just to play single player is ridiculous.

What are people setting MXAA to? Or is it not worth using i’m playing at 1440p. I can run it at x8 but is it worth the performance hit. Not added any mods yet.

4x is more tahn enough at 1440p, I haven't played it since DLDSR became a thing else I'd be sticking it on 2x as DSR res is 5160x2160 - I did have a bunch of stuff remaining for each character too so could one day soon go back into it I guess and experience the higher fidelity crispness that DLDSR offers.

Back during launch time this game was quite hard on the hardware, but I did try it briefly with both 3080 Ti and 4090 and the additional GFX settings that you would leave default before could be now maxed out without a care in the world which was kinda cool.
 
Still finding myself completely immersed in the detail of this open world.
This virtual society is one of the greatest technical achievements I've seen

Wish I could like this game. Bought it for PS3 and have it free on PC thanks to Epic.

The driving physics just killed it stone dead, for me. Played and enjoyed every previous GTA. I loved the driving/handling in GTA 4. Loved it.

I got it free thanks to Epic. However still can't play it and both roclstar and epic have been useless in fixing the issue.
 
Seeing loads of new graffiti in the city lately, is this new or am I tripping?

Also, Halloween has arrived, got mowed down by some Phantom car whilst on foot and was a genuine jump scare lol

Finally after 4 months I managed to get Rockstar to sort my account issues and I'm able to play The game now.

Anyone running any of the graphical and RTX mods? Whats best and easy to install?

I've recently started playing through single player again and using Natural Vision Remastered.
There is also Natural Vision Evolved, which I believe is newer and slightly better looking, both are available here: https://www.razedmods.com/gta-v

I know you only mentioned single player, but please be aware that with any mods installed you cannot play GTA:Online as it'll probably get you banned.
The reason that I went with Remastered was that Evolved is currently single player only, with other features behind a patreon paywall and I may decide to play unofficial multiplayer (using the FiveM client) again in the future - NMR includes the config/plugin for this.

Installation wasn't all that difficult, just follow the instructions in the included HTML file. You'll also need to install some pre-requisites including OpenIV.
Once you have it installed there are customisations you can make to tweak it to your liking, but I so far haven't bothered with that and it looks great. It mainly improves things like reflections and the lighting/weather effects, although there is a slight bug in that it makes some characters in mission cutscenes too bright which looks a bit odd!
