Normally we see new articles because a trailer has been released.... not announced :oook:

[iLLGT3]

Can't wait to hear the console players saying it looks the same as their PS4 version. :oook:

[Camel]

Can't wait for the "PC master race" players saying how much better their £1000 PC looks compared to a £300 console. :rolleyes:

Mods. Car mods. Lots of car mods.

Good luck trying to watch it. :btup

[Eudemon]

Yep that's Grand Theft Auto V for sure. IQ is much cleaner that's the main thing I take from it, as for the framerate, it has never been a major thing for me personally.

[The Compensator]

It looks even more impressive when you compare it to GTA SA from ten years ago. THE PROGRESS, AAARGH. :clap:

[TIMELESS]

Well that wasn't very exciting :p

Rockstar being Rockstar:

 

Earlier this month, GTA players found an exploit that let them bring a rare single-player only car into GTA Online. Today, Rockstar patched the issue—but they did it in the most hilarious, unexpected way possible.

 

Now if players try to use the car exploit, they’ll be greeted with a giant explosion the second they try to get into the car. There’s no way to survive the explosion, either, as you can see in this video by xKoingWolfx. Rockstar could have simply gotten rid of the car, or made it impossible to bring into GTA Online—you know, like most developers would. Instead, Rockstar had some fun with fixing the exploit and surprised everyone in the process. Amazing.

 

 

 

Rockstar Deals With GTA Cheaters In A Very GTA Way

[TIMELESS]

Just read a good hands on review: Hands on with GTA V on PC: the port | PCGamesN

 

Summary:

• Rockstar have sold 41 million copies of Grand Theft Auto V. 41 million. That’s an unbelievable number. It also makes talking about the upcoming PC version of the game somewhat difficult. The game has been rinsed: every car, every mission, every location, every little detail has been examined and dissected at length [...] All that’s left to say is this: Rockstar repeatedly call the PC version the “ultimate” or “definitive” version of the game. And after playing it on a truly monstrous PC – an i7 with 16 Gb RAM running dual GeForce 980s, driving a 4K monitor at 60 frames-per-second, I think they’ve got a point.
  
• So: imported and refined from the current generation of consoles is a set of menus to determine what controls and viewpoints you use at any point of the game. If you’re on foot, do you want to default to be in first-person camera, and use the mouse and keyboard? If you’re in a car, where do you want to place the camera, and how would you like the joypad sensitivity?
  
• The game supports multi-monitors out of the gate: up to three running at any one time. If you’re using an Nvidia card, those monitors can be displaying in 3D.
  
• A new radio station has been added that will import your local music and insert DJ stings and adverts, or you can just play your tracks sequentially.
  
• Machines at minimum spec are expected to handle GTA V at 800x600 and 20 to 30 frames-per-second - while recommended spec systems should manage 1080p and meet 60fps on medium settings. Taking advantage of the 4K support will be a different matter: you’ll need an AMD HD 7870 or NVidia GTX 760 with 2GB of VRAM, at least, to reach 30fps - and a high-end SLI or Crossfire setup to top 60fps.
  
• Asked whether there were any measures in place that would prevent GTA V players from producing similar kinds of mods (to GTA IV), Rockstar said they were determined to “preserve the integrity of the GTA Online experience”.
  
• The port introduces a new (and alarmingly comprehensive) video editor, the Rockstar Editor, that takes 30 second excerpts of your footage (longer videos can be created by stringing together consecutive clips). You can re-position the camera and apply instagram filters, do slow motion effects, and export the results to YouTube. Or, you can create your own machinima shorts in a director’s mode that gives you permission to stage scenes using any characters or animals from the game.

7 DVD's and a 5gb patch afterwards :toetap:

 

Probably the biggest game I ever had on my PC now... not even EVE Online fully patched is that big!

[Andreas¹]

It's really 7 discs? :eek: That is insane. I wonder when I'll get mine, someone preordered it for me for Christmas. :hmmm:

[iLLGT3]

Welcome home, GTA.

 

[Eudemon]

Welcome to GTA V PC players, now you can finally see what all the fuss is about.

[TIMELESS]

Dear Steam Customer,

 

We recently learned of an issue that can impact players attempting to install Grand Theft Auto V on Windows PCs. For those experiencing this issue, you have three options available to you at this time.

 

First, Rockstar Games intends to have a fix for this issue soon.

 

Second, customers can try the manual work around detailed below.

 

Third, if neither of the above works for you, the self-refund tool will continue to be available until the official fix is released.

 

We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.

 

Please see below for more information from Rockstar Games, including details on the manual workaround.

 

The Steam Team

 

We have identified an issue where players with Windows usernames that include characters not found in the table at the bottom of this page will likely run into difficulties when attempting to download, install, or play GTAV. We are currently working on a fix for this issue.

 

If you do not want to wait for a fix, you need to create a new Administrator User Account for your Windows system that only includes letters A to Z, a to z or numbers 0-9 from the basic roman alphabet. For a full list of supported characters, see the table at the bottom of this page. Please note that simply renaming your current User Account will not correct this issue. To create the account, follow these instructions from the Microsoft website:

 

Windows 8/8.1:

Create a user account - Windows Help

Windows 7:

Create a user account - Windows Help

Windows Vista:

Create a user account - Windows Help

We will update this support article with any new information as soon as we have it, including expected timing of a fix and whether you will be able to transfer progress on the newly-created Windows username over to your original Windows user account.

 

If you would like to receive an automatic update via email when there is more information about a fix, please log into the Support Site and click Subscribe at the top of this page.
