[QUOTE=Timezbrick;47576292]Whats an easy way to get car upgrades? Winning races is such a pain[/QUOTE] iirc getting a friend to intentionally lose while you farm criminal records is the best way

[QUOTE=MuffinZerg;47575964]Just invest into anything that fell over 10% and wait for return percentage to be at least 20%, it's bound to happen eventually.[/QUOTE] Where can I see the Percentage? I assume its the triangle? I know nothing about stocks.

I didn't know there could be this wide of an issue so far after release. I'm being asked to activate my game after logging into Social Club regardless of it already being activated on my account. Some peeps have said it worked fine for them for a few days and now are being asked to activate again. Activation doesn't work through the launcher and just gives 'ERROR TRYING TO ACTIVATE'. Will now wait days for a Rockstar ticket reply...

[QUOTE=Pops;47576225]so, the more detailed my grass is, the less cpu usage?[/QUOTE] what? Where did you get that from? That graph displays GPU framerate by Grass quality setting. Obviously the higher the setting the lower framerates considering grass quality is the most taxing setting in the game.

[QUOTE=Xonax;47576326]Where can I see the Percentage? I assume its the triangle? I know nothing about stocks.[/QUOTE] Click on the stock, you will get on the stock page. Ignore the graph, just take a look at numbers on the right. There should be price drop number and price drop percentage. Make sure to buy one unit of stock, then buy the rest. Sometimes the first purcharse disaplears, so you would rather loose 1 stock, not 10000. After you bought some stocks your portfolio page will have them and "return percentage". Wait for it to be 20% or so. If you bought a stock for 100 and it's price rose to 120 you get 20% returns when you sell it. Lesters assasinations allow for over 900% returns.

[QUOTE=BulletofHell;47576291]Say what you want but I [I]love[/I] hunting pubbies for sport. The chase is always better than the catch.

I made a LTS: [img]http://prod.cloud.rockstargames.com/ugc/gta5mission/4162/9QnvhyIUj06etpw4GZMpgw/2_0.jpg[/img] [url]http://rsg.ms/2977fa9[/url] It's called "Technical Execution", it's for 28 players max and basically it's two teams fighting with a bunch of technicals. No one gets any weapons other than crowbars so it's all down to just killing each other with the trucks. I also put down a bunch of ramps and explosive barrels around to hopefully make it more exciting. If anyone wants to test it, I'm probably gonna be hosting it now and inviting random people from the FP crew and maybe pubbies if I can't get enough people.

Does killing pubbies in Online cause you to get any penalties / bounties? Cause every time I've killed a pubbie, I've always died within 5 minutes from another person, but I tend to survive longer when I don't kill people.

[QUOTE=Pops;47576225]so, the more detailed my grass is, the less cpu usage?[/QUOTE] The bar chart shows the frame rate. The higher the grass setting, the bigger the impact.

Cause every time I've killed a pubbie, I've always died within 5 minutes from another person, but I tend to survive longer when I don't kill people.[/QUOTE] Its a very eye-for-an-eye community. I sometimes will go out and hunt them on purpose and just have 15 minutes of fun, other times I'll go out and defend those who are getting killed over and over again... OR.... Join in. Its mostly just.. luck.

I did the coolest thing ever, I was standing on one of the hangars at the airport and shot a flare up in the sky and it landed on top of a helicopter flying under it.

[QUOTE=Timezbrick;47576419]Anyone willing to help me out? Hit me up on steam and or SC, all my usernames are Timezbrick so that would be easy[/QUOTE] Sent you a friend invite on Steam.

Also what do you suggest me to do? Stock before the assassinations or after the assassination missions. And I mean actually before I do the mission so I can earn the sweet cash.

You get more RP for killing players w/ redder blips.

Can a person be in more than one crew?

[QUOTE=Swineflu;47576504]Can a person be in more than one crew?[/QUOTE] Yes but you can only represent one at a time. Although you can still view and join other crew sessions.

[QUOTE=afromana;47575229][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5A8ypmX3pRw[/media] be wary of petrol generators. Drove around in a convoy of these for a while, got a bunch of clips, gonna see if I can piece something together.[/QUOTE] The insurgent does some weird shit [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GppIvoCBN8[/media]

Welp, I think my singleplayer game is glitched. Can't continue. I got to the part in the Big Score, I chose the subtle approach. You have to get 3 Gauntlets from 3 specifice locations that Lester mails you and then you have to give them the Heist modification. Problem is, it's been 2 days and I still haven't gotten the mail after hours of playing. I looked online and people had the same problem, but no solution. I don't want to start over, anyone know if there's anything else I can try? I tried getting a regular Gauntlet off the streets but that didn't work either.

So I was playing race, was in lap 1 out of 2, got first and the guy I just overtook decides to go nuts and rams me off road, at this point I pinpoint him as my target and decide to take him out next lap. This is the only times I enjoy ramming people, when they on purpose fucked me over - the payback is always sweet. here is video: Notes: Start - Typical shit, 16 cars trying to fit into one small alley. 0:13 - That wasn't intentional, not even sure it was my fault. 0:44 - Same thing, it wasn't intentional and not even sure it was my fault. 1:52 - I overtake the guy and become first. 1:58 - Guy decides to ram me off. 3:48 - Payback begins. That shit was intense. [video=youtube;tKBoNJNMNlE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tKBoNJNMNlE[/video]

How do I run Social Club version through steam? No matter which exe I choose, it doesn't run but it runs fine directly.

Not sure if this was posted already, sorry if so. [video=youtube;Bo5tPelUyRY]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bo5tPelUyRY[/video]

[QUOTE=Swineflu;47576528]Coolio, so which fp crew is available for members?[/QUOTE] The first one is full but the second one is open. Request an invite on the Social Club and a moderator will accept you. [editline]22nd April 2015[/editline] [QUOTE=itisjuly;47576576]How do I run Social Club version through steam? No matter which exe I choose, it doesn't run but it runs fine directly.[/QUOTE] I don't think you can...the game requires the launcher to launch the game so maybe picking the launcher as the 'non-steam game'? Honestly I'm not sure I bought the Steam version so I can't really test this out.

Now my daily objectives won't change either. I've had the same daily objectives that I already finished for 2 days now. Any help, please?

There are some rumors around GTA Online saying that other players can hear your custom music, is that true?

[QUOTE=arleitiss;47576674]There are some rumors around GTA Online saying that other players can hear your custom music, is that true?[/QUOTE] it's not true, if you're a passenger and if you switch the radio to self radio, it'll just put back the radio station you were listening moment ago

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;47576465]make jobs, everyone this weekend on fpgta5 we'll put up fp-made jobs for all to enjoy please try to have as many player slots as possible, at least 15, the more the better[/QUOTE] I have just the job. Some of you from the PS3 days might remember it. It'll either be very fun, or very frustrating. Just need to update it to 30 players.
