And if that doesn't work, then make the TV the primary screen in your GPU control panel.

I was having the zlib error when trying to play, a quick hash check of the downloaded files showed that one was corrupt. Deleted it and am in the process of re-downloading that file.
If anyone else who is not using steam and is having issues check out this thread on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/GrandTheftA...und_a_fix_for_the_social_club_download_reset/
I know that the post says it's a fix for the download reset, but it obviously helped me discover I had a corrupt file, so it is useful for other purposes too.
Edit: To fix do this.
1. Hash check all the files as shown on reddit and delete any files that don't match.
2. Rename your games install folder and then un-install.
3. Change the name of the folder back.
4. Re-run the GTA 5 setup tool and point it to install into the folder.
It should now skip all the files that are present and only download the ones that are missing.

bought this this morning.... had to leave to work, so left the download running. Won't have time to play when i get in, need to get in car and drive 200miles... But at least when i get back i should have the game fully downloaded.
How long does it take to install given the d/l is about 60gb ?

Retail version just arrived 
I'm not clear why my copy shipped in a huge box while my flatmates were in a normal DVD package. I wonder how Amazon were intending to get that through the letter box had I not decided to work from home today*.
(Reasons for working from home have absolutley zero relation to expecting a package today your honour, I swear
)
Now the fun of 7 DVDs to install and patch lol
Glad we got 2 copies, that map is huge, doublesided and going on the wall!

Downloading from Rockstar client at 1.5 Mb/s, it often drops to 40 kb/s and it won't go up unless I pause and resume, anyone else experiencing this?

Anyone elses 360 pad stopped working? The pad is ok but no longer works in game, restarting and unplugging does nothing.
change the batteries perhaps ?
Depends on your internet and server load but generally mot people are getting 1-2mbps when its good, when its bad, you are talking small kbps.
Only issue is if the server disconnects whilst downloading you may get an error which manually requires you to press the retry button
Sounds like its wired.
How strange, I haven't heard of this issue. Can you test with another game to see if it works?

Rockstar has admitted to a bug in the new PC release of Grand Theft Auto V that is preventing some users from logging in to their much delayed purchase. There is a Rockstar support article detailing the problem, one involving the characters used in the users Windows account no less, with a draconian solution to the problem while waiting for the inevitable first patch for the AAA title.
According to the knowledge base article, the problem involves any Windows user account with characters other than the basic upper and lower case alphabet, and the numeric set. So any account with a '~' or a '_' will not work. And this is a problem as some accounts created by using a Microsoft account will have the first five characters of the email address, an underscore, and three zeros like this: usern_000 for [email protected].
The only solution to the issue offered by Rockstar is to use a new Windows account to play the game, which is quite the step for most users. They even include a disclaimer that they are not positive it will be possible to move your saved progress, saying
We will update this support article with any new information as soon as we have it, including expected timing of a fix and whether you will be able to transfer progress on the newly-created Windows username over to your original Windows user account
This is causing quite the stir on their Support forums, as this game has had three official delays, with more rumoured launch windows missed before that, making this additional wait too much for some. On top of that, pre-orders have been going on for more than a year, adding to the frustration for those that bought early. To experienced gamers however, this is just one more in a long string of anticipated game releases marred by an initial broken experience, and a good warning against pre-ordering computer games.
