[QUOTE=Cpn Crunch21;47530311]Is the gun range supposed to be this hard. I dont remember the pistol moving one being so high of a score to get. Even by keeping a combo and getting bulls-eye I barely get a silver at around 12,000-13000 pts but gold is an impossible 20,000. Am I missing something here or?[/QUOTE] Use the AP pistol.

Playing through heists is a good way to power level. Went through human labs heist with some level 1's and 4's and once we completed, they were like near level 12. Also, for some stupid unknown reason, I can't load or play the first setup mission for the fleeca heist. The problem's been sticking with me since on the ps4

[QUOTE=ClarkWasHere;47530326]Use the AP pistol.[/QUOTE] Yeah just realized. Heh I couldve sworn I remember on console having to get gold on each weapon but I guess I was mistaken.

Why does it seem like anisotropic filtering does jack shit? I have it cranked to max in game. shadows and shit are blurry like a few inches away. i even tried forcing it through the nvidia cp.

[QUOTE=Everything;47530363]Aniso has no effect whatsoever on shadows, just on world textures.[/QUOTE] Oh, that would explain alot. :/ Is there any way to remove blurry shadows?

Anyone else crashing after playing for only 10 or so minutes? Anyone find a fix?

[QUOTE=Richardroth;47530366]Oh, that would explain alot. :/ Is there any way to remove blurry shadows?[/QUOTE] If you don't like blurry shadows, turn Soft Shadows to "Sharp" or "Soft", and nothing higher. There are also GPU-specific options for both Nvidia and AMD that will mix soft and sharp together for a more realistic look at a lower cost.

I found a log file for the launcher in the GTA5 folder in my documents, I don't know this could be of any help?

can only do normal textures on my 770???? video memory jumps to 2100 mb when i change to high

[QUOTE=Richardroth;47530381]Well, thats fine and all, but theres this thing where you'll see a line go through on the ground and suddenly the shadows become more detailed the closer you get.[/QUOTE] Weirdly, turning "High-Resolution Shadows" off in Advanced Graphics seems to make that less noticeable, at least for me.

[QUOTE=deggemannen;47530377]can only do normal textures on my 770???? video memory jumps to 2100 mb when i change to high[/QUOTE] it's fucked up some guy a few pages back had a 750 ti with high textures yet sub 2k vram usage the same on a 760 somehow sends me over 2k no idea if it's driver issues or what, just gonna have to wait and see

[QUOTE=Everything;47530389]Weirdly, turning "High-Resolution Shadows" off in Advanced Graphics seems to make that less noticeable, at least for me.[/QUOTE] Oh ok, i'll give that a try. Thanks for your input :)

[QUOTE=Skwee;47529831]Well I did do that earlier today, so apparently that doesn't fix it. I have an "MSI GTX 970 Gaming" It has crashed on both the "for GTA V launch" drivers as well as the previous driver version.[/QUOTE] [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127850]this card?[/url] my bud has this card and it runs flawlessly on his machine

High-Resolution Shadows and Enhanced Distance Scaling (in Advanced Graphics) both eat a surprisingly large chunk of VRAM. Make sure those are both totally off if you're running low. You should only be using these if you're not happy with how the game looks but have maxed everything else out.

I must seem annoying with these crash problems, but I managed to fix mine. I reinstalled my drivers (I used the latest from Nvidia, 350.12) and I selected to do a custom install. There's an option to do a clean install which I did. Launched the game and it works now. I have no idea what the issue was, corrupted install maybe?

[QUOTE=Everything;47530409]High-Resolution Shadows and Enhanced Distance Scaling (in Advanced Graphics) both eat a surprisingly large chunk of VRAM.

[QUOTE=longbe96;47530294]Does anyone have the same problem, I'm using AMD r7 m260, increase/decrease AA doesn't help, change from multisampling to adaptive and supersampling and cranking it up to 24x still doesn't help...[/QUOTE] The problem disappears when I use the in-game phone camera or when I open the map, help please :'(?

[QUOTE=Richardroth;47530415]Pedestrian variety does too, not even sure what that does as I can't even max it out before I go over my mem limit.[/QUOTE] Minimum ped variety means you'll be seeing a lot of clones. It kinda sucks, but it can significantly reduce VRAM usage.

It is the 4g, not the 100ME. I bought the card when they first came out, and I don't think that 100ME one was around. Not sure what the difference is either, besides the color e: oh the 100me has a backplate. Not gonna be the cause of my game crashing

did they add some new PC exclusive weapons and stuff? [img]http://puu.sh/hew5z/ff49848fcf.jpg[/img]

[QUOTE=69105;47530425]high-res shadows and long shadows doesn't even do anything[/QUOTE] Long shadows confuses a lot of people. What it does is doubles the distance a shadow will cast from a small, thin or very distant object (like a bird, a telephone wire or a skyscraper) This is most noticeable in the evening

[QUOTE=Everything;47530437]Long shadows confuses a lot of people. What it does is doubles the distance a shadow will cast from a small or thin object (like a bird or a telephone wire) This is most noticeable in the evening[/QUOTE] I thought it was like if a skyscraper was a few blocks away and the sun was low in the sky, the shadow from it would still be visible to you even though you are far away from it.

[QUOTE=Skwee;47530444]I thought it was like if a skyscraper was a few blocks away and the sun was low in the sky, the shadow from it would still be visible to you even though you are far away from it.[/QUOTE] It does this too, I've corrected my post. In general it increases the maximum projection distance for shadows substantially.

For fucks sake I can't play for more than 10 minutes without crashing.

Not gonna be the cause of my game crashing[/QUOTE] there's two 4g ones. one is a single slot and one is a dual slot. the 100ME is just a single slot but it has the same power of the ladder 4g one for the same price the only difference is the clock speed it looks like, but that really doesn't mean much since their clock speeds are so overkill it shouldn't make a lick of difference in the first place. i guess the drivers just don't like your card unfortunately it begs the question though: why do they need three versions of the same exact card? like their differences are so benign there's no reason for there to be so many

Probably one of the worse launches for me since Sim City. I've been struggling to play it and not because of my specs but because of numerous really obscure fucking issues that have no official fixes or responses.
