GTA V PC - April 14th

Kiith

I only just realised that my PS3 character will transfer over. Pretty sweet, as i already have a nice apartment and some decent cars from the cash bonus Rockstar gave after their ****ty launch. That on top of the pre-order bonus should set me up for a while

The character transfer? Apparently it happens automatically when you activate the game in your Rockstar social club. My PS3 character shows up, so hopefully everything transfers across (though i didn't have a huge amount, so no bother if it doesn't).

Need a working PC for tomorrow, so gonna hold off wipe and reinstall Windows until maybe Wednesday. From the sounds of it, the wait may not affect it that much, but hope it won't be the fiasco that IV was!

Where can you see your current character? I had it on the xbox 360, hadn't really played it at all, but I defititely did. I'm wondering if I would have got the 500k or whatever they gave away after the bad launch.

Kiith

When i activated my game on the Rockstar Social Club, it showed my characters progression from what i remember. I can't check now as i'm in work though.

Calvin

Can anyone tell me how can I transfer it from steam on my laptop to my PC? Reason being, my apartment has 60mb download compared to home which has only 20mb (and my PC). Thanks in advance

Shiminay

Open your ....\Program Files (86)\Steam\Steamapps\common and it's probably in there.

Found it, thanks... I never got any bonus when people did ages ago, must have had to log on to get it

dreamers75

If it transfers then is the SP stuff completed?

Should be an option to restart.

Kiith

I think there was an option to restart the campaign in the original console version, so i'd assume that's there as well.

Anyone actually planning on playing Online tonight? I know it probably won't work, but i'll be on for a few hours if it does. Hopefully it actually lets us in, or at the very least, let's us into the single player game.

So who is brave enough to start the "Who's online PC Edition" thread?

Kiith

Ah balls...i changed my Social Club username and now i've lost all my characters progression. I really hope it's just the site needs to update, as i'll be kind of annoyed if i've lost my character.

I'm an idiot. I was looking at the PC progression, rather than the PS3 progression.

Duggy747

Ooooh baby!

wotzgoingon

^^I seen that on facebook. Pretty cool.

ScumLord

To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question. I think if I start playing this tonight the chances of turning it off after an hour and going to bed are slim. The chances of me making the sensible decision of waiting until tomorrow after work is probably slimmer.

ill be playing tonight

I havent been this excited for a game for quite awhile

marcbrophy

Just got a notification on my pc about updated Nvidia drivers for GTA V.

Just on time for the game, fair play to them.

Thinking I might try buy a retail copy tomorrow, but the 7 discs is kinda putting me off

Could be worse, could have been 46,200 floppies.

wotzgoingon

Talking about floppy's seen a cool joke ad on google+, some guy selling GTA V on a single floppy disc.


I'm trying to look for it but can't find it now. Seen it this morning.

marcbrophy

That's more floppies than would fit in my bloody living room :pac:

Did you see the xbox one version?

Ya just got the same notification when I turned on my pc there, 270mb driver, quite big. (well not in comparison to the 59gb gta v file I downloaded).

I agree with the above poster, I haven't been this excited about a game in a long time, not since Zelda Skyward Sword

Duggy747

Be interesting to see this at midnight

I see the PC snapmatic tab is live on the social club.
I'd assume that the PC snapmatic pics will be bigger?
PS4 is a bit bigger than PS3.

Just thinking if you lived in Austraia/New Zealand you would be playing GTA V now, Probably for a while as well. I don't know how much of a time difference there is.

Headshot

Is GTA even available in Australia? With their ****ed up rules, I wouldnt be surprised if it wasnt

1huge1

Is this gonna be released at 11pm or midnight, I've heard both

Midnight according to the game itself. That is if I go to play it, it gives me the time left before I can play.

New beta AMD drivers are out if anyone wants them.

It's released the same time everywhere though.
Unlocks no matter where you are in 2 hours!

Which in itself it absolutely mad, should be a staggered release :pac:

****ing steam come on

wotzgoingon

It would have to be a large download, well for my slow connection anyway.

1huge1

Ahh, could not connect to steam

Game is not ready to be played in offline mode

Should of seen this coming haha

Kiith

"Let's wait till the last second to push out a 50mb update, which a few hundred thousand people will need to download at the same time".

Genius idea :pac:

1huge1

All good now

Happy gaming everyone

Edit: I retract that statement, GTA V is now trying to download an update on steam... 0% loaded

Kiith

"And then, after that 50mb update, we'll throw about 300mb update on them. Hah, they won't expect that!!"

It would be fine if it was downloading at more that 150kb a second. Ugh :mad:

IrishStuff09

Anyone getting this as soon as the download finished? Gotten it twice now

Mr. CooL ICE

Meh. I'm off to fap while this loads.

Back in 4 minutes
