Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V6 - FAPSers Unite - Games

Rockstar must have made the water system the way it is for a reason. [editline]13th May 2015[/editline] I'm not saying I agree with it. But there must be a reason why.

[QUOTE=Covalent;47719268]kinda odd that a little bit after V's release, modders fixed what many people wanted, while a huge company can barely say they're 'working' on something.[/QUOTE] Because most of what Rockstar did is obviously a design [I]desicion[/I], that's 99% definitely the case now. The game has been rereleased twice, uses an update system that allows them to overwrite files whenever they want, but they still haven't changed some simple .XML files. Do you really think they're too incompetent to do that? They just don't [I]want[/I] to change it.

[QUOTE=Covalent;47719268]kinda odd that a little bit after V's release, modders fixed what many people wanted, while a huge company can barely say they're 'working' on something.[/QUOTE] It doesn't work like that. They aren't going to change core gameplay mechanics that work fine. That's what mods are for....

It isn't unheard of for games to undergo very large mechanical changes post-release these days, particularly on PC. The key factor is whether or not the developer is willing to overwrite what they spent months or even years slaving over. [editline]t[/editline] In Rockstar's case, considering they claim their often laughably bad reflection engine is "realistic" and won't fix it, I'd wager no.

somebody invite me to the facepunch crew ffs

[QUOTE=Skidmarks;47717591]Holy shit, this just happened to me [video=youtube;wDgWBsC0-sI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wDgWBsC0-sI[/video][/QUOTE] That was awesome :D Hydras are pretty easy to shoot down in a Lazer though but it all depends on the pilot flying it. I've gunned down quite number of player Lazers with my Hydra and most of them are pretty shit at flying.

[QUOTE=Don Merino;47718157]I'd like to know that, too. I'm going to wipe my system and install a new mainboard some time in the next few weeks, and I'd hate to have to spend 60 hours downloading it again. If that were the case, I'd probably postpone the wipe until I've had enough of GTA V.[/QUOTE] It works. All I did was just redownload SocialClub and then launch the game using the GTALauncher exe.

[QUOTE=deerinheat;47719656]somebody invite me to the facepunch crew ffs[/QUOTE] You were kicked from the crew by some comm, so I can't re-invite. I think I sent you a message on Social Club like a week ago and you never responded. It was pertaining to many reports of people talking about you DMing. Found the posts [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1463346&p=47682093&viewfull=1#post47682093[/url] [url]http://facepunch.com/showthread.php?t=1463346&p=47682228&viewfull=1#post47682228[/url] I would've re-added you had you responded, but you never did.

[QUOTE=Delta616;47719494]They aren't going to change core gameplay mechanics that work fine.[/QUOTE] They don't work fine though. Silencers are useless.

Decided to give 4K Downscaling a shot. It was underwhelming but still pretty cool.

Man does the in-game anisotropic filtering look like hot garbage Even 16x looks like basic trilinear

[QUOTE=Coyoteze;47719911][t]http://i.imgur.com/7pfFVLE.png[/t][/QUOTE] Wow ethan, great moves

Is there a list of confirmed working and not working driver overrides for visual settings in GTAV?

Does anyone have the link for that Police on Patrol mod posted awhile back? Should I use it with the Rebalance PD mod or no?

AUGH FUCK...still getting those crashes since launch. I got another ERR_GFX_D3D_INIT crash a few hours ago and just now my whole computer froze and the log says this: [quote] [2015-05-13 21:59:28.023] [WARNING] Device lost.

[/quote] FFS I'm having back and forth emails with support and nothing is helping. [editline]13th May 2015[/editline] Also I didn't know but you can run the game without the [B]d3dcsx_46.dll[/B] and [B]d3dcompiler_46.dll[/B] files lol

Found out that by completely uninstalling NVIDIA Geforce Experience all of my crashes are now gone, regardless of how high I put my settings. I've heard the program causes instability in other games too, and low framerates in others. It's a nice program and I love Shadowplay but I'd rather not be crashing every 15 -30 minutes than be able to record stuff with minimal framerate drop.

Although I didn't try to uninstall it. I suppose I could try that!

So, what are the rims used on the FIB Buffalo? I'm considering getting a Buffalo S and imitating that concept for a heist car.

I decided to buy myself a new ride, I love cruising around in these: [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531767541209686452/F3659A5C3BCE4F03CBD6934EA1B9E9716C88785B/[/t] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531767541209686703/5D624D0044C63FEBE2593EBDAFFB71C4849FE645/[/t]

I love that car. It was the first car I bought in GTA Online.

Lol I thought I was the only one that liked the Carbonizzare. I love to just drive it around. Thinking about buying another just to keep stock, and use as a drift car. Edit: [img]http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a61/MGRX/Screenshot%202015-05-13%2022.32.07_zps6mdl8uxu.png[/img] I changed from high end rims to muscle car rims for more tire wall. Makes it smoother going up and down curbs.

The body lines are pretty sexy too, especially on the ass end. [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/531767541209761449/A4F58DB95A9A9CA1EAF0B57721580549F768B6AA/[/t]

[QUOTE=Everything;47720609]So, what are the rims used on the FIB Buffalo? I'm considering getting a Buffalo S and imitating that concept for a heist car.[/QUOTE] Standard emergency vehicle rims, unavaliable to the player. Your best bet for police looking rims (and what I used on my FIB Granger lookalike before I made it Red, though it still has the rims) are the "Classic Rod"? ones from the Muscle tires, the flat ones, coloured black.

[QUOTE=MightyLOLZOR;47719250]well if some modder can do it within a month of release, surely Rockstar can.[/QUOTE] The thing is, if they implemented it, they'd be admitting they fucked up the cop balance. Rockstar aren't likely to be so humble.

Kind of a shame there's no way to get an emergency light/siren kit. That's one thing I'd actually really want. It'd let you choose the style (single "Brit" roof light, roof bar, hidden roof bar, ground effect lights, etc), the number of colors (1 to 3) and what colors to use, and what siren to use, with all the standard issue options plus some referential or silly ones.

Do cars i buy in single player get replaced if they get blown to shit/lost?

[QUOTE=Tmaxx;47720751]Do cars i buy in single player get replaced if they get blown to shit/lost?[/QUOTE] I don't think so, but you can store just about anything off the street anyway, and by the end of the campaign you'll have enough money to replace almost anything yourself with almost no dent to your finances, so it doesn't really matter all too much. I'm pretty gentle with personals in SP either way though, so I don't know for sure.

Anyone have a nvidia GeForce 550 ti? Does GTA V run okay on it?

[QUOTE=Rageguy;47720866]Anyone have a nvidia GeForce 550 ti? Does GTA V run okay on it?[/QUOTE] I've got one, as long as you don't have any aspirations of playing it on the highest settings at 60fps, it runs fine. With these settings I get steady 30 fps and it still looks much better than last gen consoles, though I do get some pop-in and frame drops from time to time but that might just be my CPU and RAM needing to be upgraded after many years.
