Why does this game sometimes "reset" itself for no apparent reason? The SP saves and online progress are still intact, but I had to re-do the brightness calibration before the game started up, and all my settings went back to default.

Not sure, happens most of the time I start up the game.

Happened quite a lot for me on PS4. I don't know why it did, but thankfully it's stopped doing that for about a week or so.
 
I always thought it was something on R*'s end. It's quite annoying because I have to change the camera, notification and depth settings again.
 
Some people online are saying that when the brightness adjustment slider pops up you need to hold your PS button and sign out and back in. Not sure if it's a PS3 or PS4 fix but worth a shot. There's multiple people saying it works.

Just close the game and restart it.
 
Man my hand hurts :scared: Just finished the Coyote Cross Country Triathlon in 1st place :D But a weird thing happened?

On the bike race i spent most of the time in 2nd and 3rd place till we got to the beach and that's where the strange thing happened? I looked down and saw i was in first place ??? :bowdown: But a few seconds after that a few 3 or 4 of the bikers that where behind me passed me BUT i remained in first place for the remainder of the race and then the foot race??? Anyone know why?
 
Didn't he post something similar a year or so ago and nothing came of it?
I don't know if he posted a picture, but he did say he was working on the Story Mode DLC last year.

Edit* Looking at his Instagram and the caption, I want to believe it's a clue, but seeing as he likes posting GTA stuff, he could just be posting something from way back given the "LOL ......" as in, "Look how silly I looked".

My 2 cents.

This just in: That transfer a car from Online to Single Player still works. A couple years ago when there was a way to transfer a car from Single Player to Online and a second garage brand new, I had Franklin's Buffalo complete with his license plate in my Online garage. Keep in mind that was way before the Buffalo S was available for Online purchase. Fast forward to the present day....that very car made it BACK to Single Player to Trevor's garage!!

How do you accomplish this? Start an online race with selected vehicle, park in Trevor's garage, then switch to him?

Mine went like this:

I was first after the swim, by quite a gap, and I never saw them again. Because all the other were still standing at the start of the bike part. I could see all the dots on the map just standing still. :lol:
 
They should also allow us to use the sawn off in cars as well as bikes.
I always chalked not being able to up to the likely clumsy animation on reload (barrel passing through windshield pillars, etc).
 
I was thinking.
Rockstar really missed out on a brilliant piece of gaming.

Melee weapons available on motorcycles and bikes.

Road Rage.

Rockstar denied us the opportunity to re-enact the opening motorbike chase scene from "Akira". :grumpy:
 
I've gotten to the point where I start laughing nearly uncontrollably whenever I hear that male pedestrian with the long, blood-curdling scream. :lol:
 
Not entirely sure which one that is. :/
Yeah, the nature of the subject matter means it's difficult to elaborate. Just shoot up a crowded area with a PDW or a suppressed Assault Shotgun and you're sure to hear it. You'd swear it's a woman, but it isn't. :P
 
There's quite a few bits of dialogue I hear around me in game, that make me, and the wife laugh. Most of which I can't quote here, but a mild one is....."I need to smoke something, and calm my ass down". Laugh every time I hear it.
 
Brilliant. On the next-gen version I ran into a glitch that wasn't present on PS3, and definitely takes a lot of immersion out of the game. Related to the end-game, so spoilers ahoy:

After my crew enters the Union Depository underground area in the Securicars, all textures of the interior are completely missing. Nothing but a dull gray background, with the buildings of Los Santos clearly visible above us.

Got a fix?

EDIT: Resetting the game seems to have worked.

Story DLC rumors again - from Gamesradar:
"The long awaited GTA 5 story DLC rumour mill cranked into life last week when Franklin actor Shawn Fonteno teased an image of himself in a performance capture suit. However, Michael actor Ned Luke might have just crushed all our single player dreams on his Facebookpage.

"EVERYBODY wants single player DLC...I know NOTHING about that," says the post. "Don't know when it's gonna happen or even IF it's gonna happen. But I do know the boyz are gonna try to get out to some conventions this year so we can finally meet so many of our fans that we have been unable to meet in the past."

Back in September last year Rockstar confirmed that all key members of staff who launched GTA 5 are working on content for GTA Online after its astronomical success. Given the 8 million players a week hurtling around in a shared Los Santos and the lack of any actor knowledge, we might be waiting a very long time for story DLC after all."
 
Didn't we all come to the conclusion that Shawn Fonteno was showing an image from the middle of GTA V's production for mo-cap and not something brand new?
 
I don't really care about story DLC for this game, After the UD mission then there is nothing left that could be bigger unless they incorporated a casino heist into the game. I think one of the things to consider though is the fact that the story takes place AFTER GTAO. If a heist was added to the story, you may not necessarily be able to add it to GTAO as well or vice versa hence the reason we dont have a UD heist online and we ikely never will.
