Yeah, but weirdly enough nobody seems to have this problem but me. And nobody seems to have any other sort of issues, but me.

Edit: Oh great! The bloody download speed is still as bad as it was a few days ago. Yeah, I think I'm able to play the tomorrow. GOD DAMN IT!!
Could be you internet
 
Nope, I don't have a data cap and I have 150mbit/s Down and 25mbit/s Up.
Just wait it out, hopefully it improves as the server load gets weaker. There is A LOT of people probably trying to DL it right now

There are, because a lot of people actually were surprised about the overall size of the game. Packed it's 60GB, unpacked it's 120GB.
 
Ding dong "parcel for Mr B **** , yes GTAV has arrived at last , sign for parcel open contents 7 CD's OMG :eek:

That was 52 mins ago , it's still instaling disc 5 :mad:

Can't wait to do the updates...........honestly I can't :irked:

Still it will be worth it..............I hope :scared:
 
need to get fraps or something similar so I can keep an eye on it.

The Steam overlay service has a built-in counter, even if you own the game outside of Steam you can add it to your Steam library as a shortcut so you can use the overlay. If you go to settings (in Steam), then the in-game tab, there's a drop-down menu for you to choose where you want the counter. It's the best counter I've seen because when you're not looking at it, you can't see it - others are huge and bright, the Steam one is (by default at least) low-contrast and small.
 
Signed into my rockstar Account , yippie , got the pre-order bonus , yippie , downloaded the 55mb update , yippie , WTF now waiting whilst another 5gb update downloads.............:banghead:
 
So after about an hour to download the first update and unpack it last night and then another hour+ to tweak the graphics settings, I did get some solid play time... until about 4:00am est :lol:

I've got an i5-4670K @ 3.4GHz with AMD Radeon HD 7700 and can only run everything on normal so far. I just don't have enough memory on that thing (1GB) to do anything good. Then I found an AMD driver update for this game and installed that only to find that I couldn't even look around without getting 1 fps and making the game unplayable, but that kinda fixed itself after about 5 minutes. It made the game look really good on normal textures though, but I really need a new graphics card. And a new monitor while I'm at it. Using an older one stuck at 1600x900 and I can't even use all of it on this game.

Also, I actually managed to get a lot of time online with my transferred character without any issues 👍
But I noticed that I was only credited with an extra million online and not the 1.3 million I was supposed to get with my preorder... first world problem I guess but that extra 300K was supposed to make up for the delay 👎

Some of the bonus money is for GTA V, not all of it was supposed to be for your online character.

As I understood it, 500K was for single player (got that), the initial preorder bonus for online was 1 million (got that), then after the last delay they threw in another 300K for online (that's what I seem to be missing).

Or maybe the delay was split 150K Online 150K Story

Maybe but I could have sworn it was just for online. It's not a huge deal but still can't help but feel a little salty about it. Am I alone in thinking that we were supposed to get a delay bonus?

Still trying too download the the update.................its only been nearly 6 hours :banghead:

Is the download stuck? That happened to me and had to restart Steam (if that's what you're using).

I've got the Retail Boxed Version all 7 CD's m tried restarting it god knows how many times , gets almost to the end then I either get "Error 01" or it simply says Server Error reconnecting" and downloads the same thing again
 
Finally got to play a few hours today and I'm very impressed by how smooth the port runs, barely drop below 60fps on High/Ultra settings (Textures on Normal) 👍
 
When I finally get GTAV on PC I am thinking of making a series of videos using the editor based off Gone In 60 Seconds. I will call it "The Wheelman" and basically, the character has 36 Hours to steal 36 cars or he gets killed by the Mafia. How possible it will be I will see when I get it.
 
Needs a yellow Dominator.
I have an idea of the cars.

1. Benefactor Schwarzter
2. Obey 9F
3. Grotti Carbonizarre
4. Lampadati Felon GT
5. Dewbauchee JB700
6. Truffade Adder
7. Dinka Jester
8. Dewbauchee Massacro Race Car
9. Bravado Buffalo S
10. Pfister Comet
11. Pegassi Vacca
12. Grotti Cheetah
13. Invetero Coquette
14. Pegassi Monroe
15. Truffade Z-Type
16. Cheval Intruder
17. Bravado Buffalo Police Cruiser
18. Annis Elegy RH8
19. Lampadati Casco
20. Pegassi Infernus
21: Vapid Bullet

27: Declasse Stallion
28: Ubermacht Sentinel XS
29: Overflod Entity XF

I have two questions for people who have the PC version.

1. Can you import your own music for a radio station like the Independence FM station in GTA IV to listen to whilst your driving?

2. With the Video Editor, can you export videos to your documents like with GTA IV or can you only upload them to YouTube/Social Club?

Just thought I'd ask seeing as I won't be buying the game for a while.

Yes.
 
So got my shiny new DS4 all hooked up and played for a bit tonight. Since I am using my TV it will only go up to 59Hz refresh rate, so I'm locked to 59fps or lower. Mostly runs in the high 40's if there is a lot moving on screen, but saw dips into the 30's. I have everything on high or very high and just a notch or two over the recommended video memory usage. No complaints here coming from PS3, looks fine to me. Using a controller though it seems to block out my keyboard, my Windows + Print Screen capture doesn't work.
 
Not sure about the screen capture, but I switch between controller and keyboard all the time and it hasn't given me any issues, works flawlessly.

Been playing a few hours yesterday and the game runs really really great. I do hope they address the shadow/texture pop in (most notable during flying). Other than that I think this is a very smooth release. 👍
