Grand Theft Auto Series Megathread V6 - FAPSers Unite - Games

[QUOTE=Luxuria;47655389]Is there any remotely easy way to find the Dubsta 2?[/QUOTE] D2 was never even supposed to be available online. Outside of the now removed blingstas, it's only ever found in Franklin's singleplayer races.

Well shit.

I wonder if R* made the socialclub website to only work in IE to stop people from submitting tickets/complaining about being banned on the forums.

[QUOTE=Luxuria;47655427]Well shit.[/QUOTE] The only notable differences between the two are the rear spare being moved aside a bit so as not to obscure the plate, and certain parts being black instead of chrome. That's it.

[QUOTE=Everything;47655437]The only notable differences between the two are the rear spare being moved aside a bit so as not to obscure the plate, and certain parts being black instead of chrome. That's it.[/QUOTE] I remember in a video i was watching by that dude who tests how fast all the cars are that the one with the wheel to the side doesn't add traction but the one where you can add the wheel and it is in the middle adds traction like it was a spoiler. Not sure if that is the case or not, but interesting stuff anyway. So potentially the one with the offset tire would be worse if you wanted to go fast around tracks and stuff i guess.

[QUOTE=Zet;47655432]I wonder if R* made the socialclub website to only work in IE to stop people from submitting tickets/complaining about being banned on the forums.[/QUOTE] It works fine in Chrome on my end. Well, not on my laptop, for some reason, but on my desktop PC it works fine in Chrome.

It's the reason I still have it on mine despite the hood spare, the extra traction at speed is very valuable offroad.

[QUOTE=Zet;47655432]I wonder if R* made the socialclub website to only work in IE to stop people from submitting tickets/complaining about being banned on the forums.[/QUOTE] should be working fine now, works for me when it hasn't for the past few days, But as I previously mentioned, you can submit via email

[QUOTE=Essante;47652931]does anyone know why this would happen? I'm guessing I lose connection or something but its getting [i]really[/i] annoying. I'll be in a public lobby with friends and then suddenly: [img_thumb]http://i.gyazo.com/a9f33e0ef8f8f3546d2e7045ec48e582.jpg[/img_thumb] Everyone "leaves" and I'm put in a new session, except they're all in the original one and I'm in a brand new public session by myself.[/QUOTE] they all spontaneously and simultaneously decide that you're smelly and left

[QUOTE=Essante;47652968]of course, in every game but this one my connection is great.`[/QUOTE] GTA uses P2P instead of a server to handle ingame data So there's a magnitude of reasons why you can be disconnected The only thing you can do to migitate is improving your connection So here's a reference for everyone [quote]Some players have found the following website useful for configuring ports with a static IP to attain a more open NAT type with many different router models: [url]http://www.portforward.com[/url] Additional Ports to Forward for GTA Online GTA Online requires the following ports to be open: TCP Ports: 80, 443 UDP Ports: 6672, 61455, 61457, 61456, and 61458 Also try: 1. Make sure your router's firmware is upgraded the latest version (very important). 2. Unplug your router for 10 minutes and plug it back in. Some older routers degrade in performance over time until it is rebooted, similar to a PC. 3. Disable any firewall or other network filtering for the game. 4. Enable or disable uPnP (universal plug and play) on your router or the console settings. 5. If you don't care about security, enable DMZ (de-militarized zone) on your router for your console’s address. This turns off all of your router's firewall features for that specific console. 6. Contact your ISP and ask them what your DNS settings should be. Check the Primary and Secondary DNS settings on your console. For more information, see: [url]http://manuals.playstation.net/document/en/ps3/current/settings/connectadvance.html[/url], [url]http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-live/connecting/connection-error-solution[/url] 7. If you have a combination modem/router unit or ADSL, try setting the unit to "Bridge Mode" to bypass the router part of the hardware. If this fixes the issue, then you may be able to connect a second router between the combination unit and the console to dial the PPPoE connection. 8. If you use an ADSL connection, see if dialing a PPPoE connection from the console improves the NAT Type. Contact your hardware manufacturer manual or ISP for detailed instructions. 9. Some players have found that changing MTU settings can improve their connection. Try changing your MTU to 1473 on your console or PC. For instructions on how to do this, please search [url]www.portforward.com[/url] for your router model and follow the instructions there. PS3 and PS4 users can follow the instructions here: Go to Settings and then to Network. Go to Set Up Internet Connection, and select “Custom”. Don’t change any other settings except “MTU” to 1473. If this does not work initially, you may want to try a lower number (such as 1450). [/quote]

Went to sell my Mesa because it's not as good offroad as my Dubsta (how, I'm not so sure), but when I got to the mechanic it wouldn't let me sell it because it came from a merc attack. Decided to just replace it and eat the loss rather than get too attached and dump more money into something that could be problematic later. Well shit.

Was kicked out of the FAPS clan for some reason? Also noticed it went from being a huge-ass-large crew down to 370+/- members? What happened? In game name: " Siem.. "

So after the purge, can I be re-invited to the Facepunch group? ( [url]http://socialclub.rockstargames.com/member/hedrox89[/url] ) Also, I love my Patriot and wish I had the foresight to take one in the streets when I started

Damn, I always miss the times that you all get together to do stuff other then that bike race :(

Once more before I go to bed. Send all invites to me through Facepunch. Include your SC name. Note you probably won't be added til later afternoon.

[QUOTE=Luxuria;47655249]that was a fuckin' great session[/QUOTE] I was in it but hte connection dropped :( This is why I want FiveM.

I had no idea Buzzards spawned in such easily accessible areas. I went to the airport to get a normal heli and right next to it was an attack chopper :v:

Sent request to join FAPS1. Will leave FAPS2 if i get in. Just hit level 70, and I got the steam achievement for hitting Level 100. Okay

Also wow don't get tinted windows if you drive in first person. You will regret that decision HARD your first time trying to drive at night with them.

After the last patch I ditched it, since stability improved and I never dc'd since then

[QUOTE=Everything;47655615]Also wow don't get tinted windows if you drive in first person. You will regret that decision HARD your first time trying to drive at night with them.[/QUOTE] As much as I LOVE the look of Rear Louvers, some of the cars are a bitch to see behind you with them too.

Voltic is now my new favourite vehicle Mainly because I have the highest pitch horn on and follow people around in passive blasting it

[QUOTE=Demolitions2;47655623]As much as I LOVE the look of Rear Louvers, some of the cars are a bitch to see behind you with them too.[/QUOTE] The ones on the Dominator are invisible from inside, bizarrely.

Fun times with FAPS [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/26237213227749217/AFD80AEB4C92856810BEAEF79F6A543A1A57E903/[/t] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/26237213227667742/6B931B688F215BA83C64642112F67343DCAF222F/[/t] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/26237213227749598/54FC6EEB809FA17BD47559D760034097A08AA545/[/t] [t]http://images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/26237213227749726/5B70F20AA9DA2B2F0FE18682C6517F4665A83A6E/[/t]

To my fellow Facepunchers who I inadvertently blew up in the Titan at Sandy Shores tonight: Sorry! Was cool to see so many people on at once though. Next time I'll try to kill less of you.

[QUOTE=Everything;47655291]I swear every other time I drive this thing, somebody asks me what the heck it is [t]http://i.imgur.com/nVl3qhm.jpg[/t] [editline]4th May 2015[/editline] The fact you can modify some vehicles so drastically that most people don't recognize them at first glance is great[/QUOTE] so what is it?

Really hope I can get some time today to play, haven't played in almost a week.. Anyone please want to do the final prison heist with me? All these random players keep leaving/fuck things up so badly... Ill give FAPS members 20% cut.. I just want to pass this shit (In game name: Siem.. (with dots) ).

[QUOTE=Pax;47653685]Because of how it alters the very design of the game and Rockstar's behavior towards it. There's a reason why "No Fun Allowed" has become a common criticism. Showstopping bugs and reproducible annoying glitches? Might be fixed eventually. Someone comes up with a way to glitch money or get something or somewhere they're not suppose to get? Hot patched instantly.[/QUOTE] Yeah, this. Even with something as seemingly unnoticeable as shark cards. Basically, as soon as money get's actively involved in a game like that, everyone gets super uptight about it. If not for shark cards and actual money being at play, Rockstar probably wouldn't care all that much about mods, and the game would be a lot more just and rewarding. The second that money gets involved, someone over at rockstar thinks that "Shit, this hacker is making me loose money!" and it gets slightly personal. Unsurprisingly, rockstar doesn't care if a mod in fact is a cheat, it's easier to just assume every single one of them is. Following the same logic, rockstar wants to make all the payouts as little rewarding as possible, or they would think "Damn, if we had set the payouts a little lower, maybe more people would buy shark cards", so that is precisely what they do. And they've managed to cleverly excuse themselves for that by throwing the players a free car or two from time to time. And it's really well thought out, because it won't give them as bad PR as selling them as dlc would, and to many people free content excuses them for the shark cards, because they don't recognize the previous points and therefore consider it a good deal - free content and others are paying for it, right? Well, wrong. Because as said, it has heavily affected the way rockstar has designed the Online component, and it makes them behave in a more disconnected, cold, commercial manner.
