I do hate the way the upside down floaty glitch works on the stunt races. The races are created for stunts and reward you with xp for doing a flip etc but on the majority of jumps big enough to flip a bike you will almost always shoot straight past the turn, still in the air, or you will go directly above a checkpoint and still miss it.

Pretty much this. If I land normally then everything is fine. If I pull back, the bike goes to the moon.

I haven't been playing GTA for a huge amount of time, but I already have a product from Benny's...

 

[xXKingJoshXx]

Did they change the vehicle physics recently? I've noticed that motorcycles have been acting a bit strange in mid-air.

I've noticed this. I can fly hundreds of feet past where I would normally land if I do flips. While it can be fun to do it kind of sucks to make stunting impossible on the stunt tracks.

 

[Katiegan]

Trying to pull off a front flip in a car really messes everything up in the stunt races too. I managed to pull off a back flip fine, but when I tried to do a front flip the car ended up spiralling out of control and I landed in a fiery ball of metal.

I still have that annoying doing bug. Zero audio from the phone including calls (a blessing in disguise), but the internet works fine. Also, I can't tell if I'm being locked onto or if I have a lock-on while piloting aircraft.

 

[DurWinning]

When R* refunds you 2.6 million in reimbursement, so you buy a Drift Tampa and a Zentorno.


No regrets.

Surprisingly this can be avoided by pulling back roughly one second after leaving the ramp. of course other factors such as catchup and drafting will also affect how high you initially go as well. when in doubt just let off the accelerator for a second.


on another note has anyone else realized that the Bati 801/801RR is quite troublesome on stunt courses. i've noticed that particular bike has tendencies to veer to the left or right after some landings and it's cost me quite a few wins (especially during the 2X period we just had....)


also on another note (swear this is the last one) why is no one doing the new adversary mode? I only did two maps in the playlist and managed to rack up 100K. yeah sure it's a bit boring but lets face it, it's a lot less tedious and rage inducing as the stunt racing one.

I did try it last night, 3 rounds with 7 people (target, 2 body guard, 3 assassin) and won manged to rack up 100k from that one. Did it a second time with 5 people (target, 2 bodyguard, 2 assassin) and only made 30k from that one.

I think a full lobby would create quite the decent yield.

Have you tried uninstalling the game and instaling it again?

I'm guessing it bottoms out easily which makes it harder to control.

@SkyArkz23 that very thing happened to me. Thought I had been rammed by a lagger or something. But yeah I reckon the new bikes are better for stunts.

hi everyone, little warning for all you windows 10 users, the new update can delete partitions

Not yet, but wouldn't that take forever to complete?

Would depend on your internet speed. Set aside 1-2 hours maybe. It would download in rest mode as well so you wont need to 'babysit' it.
It could fix your issues though.

I sure hope it will. The missile warning system is critical to me, since I'm always piloting some form of aircraft. If I uninstall the game (I have the disc), will all of my data be lost? I don't want to lose everything.

Your online progress wont be affected. You can back your saves up to the cloud if you have ps+ or to a usb device.

 

[MMX]

As long as you don't get rid of your save data, you'll be fine.

 

[Eva]

Online data is held by Rockstar, so even if you lost your save data, they'd still load your online files for you.

 

[Dan]

Thanks everyone. What is the process for uninstalling and reinstalling? Where do I go, and which thing(s) do I touch?

Depends what console your own. I know that for PS3 go to game data folder (or whatever the very top one is called) and delete GTAV. One will be the game data (the one with the biggest file size) and one will be updates.

On PS4 you go Settings>System Storage Management>Applications and press options, choose delete and select GTAV. Save games should be unaffected if you just delete it this way

@Dan What Jason said ^

 

[nascarfan1400]

@RedDragon and I are gonna start a playlist with custom tracks in a short bit. Anyone else Wana join in? Mostly original circuits, but Pocono and Indianapolis and Monaco are in the playlist too.

I'll join too

 

[nascarfan1400]

Alright. Booting the ps4 in a few

 

[AudiMan2011]

I might join for about an hour. Might, just might.

 

[Dan]

I'll join in about 30 minutes.

 

[Sage Ages]

What would you say is the most forgotten apartment/garage in the game?

 

[Katiegan]

Any of the 2-car garages, or lowest standard bonged out apartments.
