So I use dpad down to check my phone for missions? I'm at a stick point early on in the game with nothing to do.

Dpad up = your phone. Dpad down + right thumbstick is character switch; also I believe the # over each of their portraits is the available missions at the time. As far as being stuck, I am not sure but when I temporarily felt stuck id return to my respective characters home and usually a cutscene or phone call would come up pushing the story forward. I hope this helps.

To replay missions to get 100% you can use your phone for. Whatever mission you finished last, have to wait until an opportunity pops up. But would be good to use that time to find Packie and some others to use for Heists etc.

the car disappear is really frustrating...i'm talking about trying to aggregate 15-20 car and blow them up in the road but the problem is when you walk away a distance and come back suddenly three to four car gone without any reason and it just happened that way. Makes me wonder what's the problem.

If you leave your car it gets impounded. How Rockstar set it up, was kinda ticked myself go inside a store and my car was gone.

Something I've found that is annoying, (maybe already mentioned) When modding Trevor's Vehicle, 7 or 8 times out of 10 after saving and switching to another character, doing a mission or two, switching back to Trevor, I get the standard un modified vehicle as my wheels, it's only annoying as before hitting any end scores, the mods cost around $100,000 and the money doesn't get returned.

We'll known bug at the moment. Don't bother modding any of the vehicles while you still have missions. Rockstar haven't patched it yet.

I've got all the character's default vehicles modded in my game and there hasn't been an issue. Have you tried driving them back to the home, placing them in the character's home/public garage and saving the game?

 

It is when I use non-default cars in a mission that vehicles start disappearing (and where most people seem to be having problems). I can confirm that saving a non-default modded car in a garage and not using it for missions seems to work (PS3). Currently have a total of eight cars between the characters that haven't disappeared as a result of this. I always make sure I return them back to the garage as well.

Yup, tried saving back at the trailer park and everything, I'll just wait to see if it gets patched like Vandal mentioned

ironically, the random cars I mod for anyone who isn't Franklin disappear too, I noticed, but wasn't too bothered as his car is plenty fast enough to win the street races with or without mods (by using his special ability)

on a side note, I kinda wished they had more 'trucker' missions, like they had in SA, and maybe the ability to set up further heists, (if this is in the game, I haven't found it yet)

Come to think of it, has anyone tried chasing Lazlow while driving the Semi on Cinematic Mode, (I thought it was cool)

I was thinking about the trucking missions from SA too. I miss doing that :/

 I for one didn't try it on cinematic view, but I will try it on my second run of the game soon. Just only thing is the ending kinda sucked. Has anyone found the club where the lost hang out at? I found it once with Franklin but, don't remember where it exactly is.

 

but in such a short timing like 5 second..it's not impounded but a bug. 

It's happened to me and I just got an impound notification when it did, now one vehicle I had for Michael was in his garage, I had made completely chrome just recently disappeared. Same went for Poppy's car I jacked after she crashed, in Franklin's garage and it turned into the same one but just a normal version not hers(this was before I read about the garage glitch).

Since that happened to me I haven't had any issues with them disappearing in that short of time either. Didn't know yours was being eaten within 5 seconds, so yeah that is a bug.

So I had Franklin standing on a street corner in Vinewood, put my controller down for a minute to read something, and some lady got creeped out apparently by the negro in Vinewood and called the cops on him, got a 2-star wanted level.

That pisses me off.   

 

"Calm down man"   Stars.  

 

All I did was walk around.  Holy ######.

I hate that! I just run up on them and punch them in the face with AUTHORITY! that will always fix that problem and you may only get 1 star or 0 if you get outta the area fast enough.

Yup, and you can talk to people also. I died as Trevor and came out of the hospital, walked up to an old women sat on a bench and said "hi", her reply was "do you want me to blow you?"... "What?"... "I'm calling the cops!". She was on the phone, so I just just knocked her out and walked away free. I've had loads of people call the Police on me.

 

Another fun thing to do, go to the beach where people are exercising / lifting weights etc (or any crowded area), go right in there, call the Police on your phone and quickly punch someone, they all come after you and the Police will show up and start shooting them for you if they see them hit you lol.

    • That lens of history will burn if you hold it at the right angle... Warn users too late: Shame, Microsoft! That extremely minor update to an obscure Control Panel widget required 2 years of warning. Warn users too early: Shame, Microsoft! We've got better things to do. Pipeline and process be damned, we'll just always be disappointed, eh?
    • Microsoft Paint used to be my favorite Windows app as a kid, and it's still pretty good by Usama Jawad I have been using Windows since the early 2000s, when I was around 10 years old or so. I vaguely remember playing around with Windows 98 and Windows 2000, but that may have been on school PCs which had old operating systems installed. My main OS on the home PC, and the one I recall spending most time with, was Windows XP. At that time, I used the home PC to create Word and PowerPoint documents for school, but a lot of the time, I simply used it to play games. My dad would bring game discs which we would try and install on the PC, sometimes unsuccessfully, and sometimes, we would rely on flash games in the browser, like Bubble Trouble on Miniclip. However, the problem with the latter approach was the internet speed. On a good day, our dial-up internet would offer us speeds of 56 kbps, but on most days, it was closer to 33 kbps. This did not facilitate online gaming as I would often have to wait minutes for a game to load or "draw" on the screen, and trying to download pirated games wasn't simple either. I remember getting tired of waiting for online games to load and just downloading simulator games from the Big Fish Games website instead, only to be disappointed after finding out that I was just being given access to trial versions of the title, and I needed to fork out money to pay for the full version. All of this is to say that it wasn't very easy to find entertainment options on the home PC when I was a kid, due to a number of reasons, mostly outside of my control. This situation pushed me towards a rather unconventional ally: Microsoft Paint. Whenever the internet wasn't working as good as I expected, I would simply spin up Paint and draw complete rubbish on the canvas. Of course, that wasn't always the intention, but it usually happened when I messed up drawing a straight line or something, and then I would give up on that particular piece and simply draw a random collection of objects. Microsoft Paint was extremely accessible and easy to use. Even if you weren't an artist, you could quickly understand the tools at your disposal and how to leverage them on a canvas. The absolute breadth on offer ensured that each painting was truly unique, as you could utilize various combinations of tools like the pencil, paint, spray paint, and more to truly personalize your creation. Since I wasn't particularly good at drawing both on digital screen or a physical screen, I remember that my main style of art would be to insert a bunch of randomly intersecting lines and then fill them with random colors through the paint can. I have trying to replicate that art style in the latest version of Paint below, and as you can see, it's truly Pablo Picasso-esque. The human imagination truly knows no bounds Microsoft Paint kept me occupied for hours and was my best friend when video games on the home PC were inaccessible for one reason or the other. There was no academic or professional reason for which I would need to use Paint, but I still loved using it in my personal time, even if what I created wasn't worth being shown to anyone. It was simply fun. Fast-forward to today, and the situation is mostly the same. Now that I am almost 29 years old, and I still have no reason to use Microsoft Paint in a professional capacity. In fact, I don't even use it in a personal capacity, except to dabble with it from time to time, just to see if core functionalities are still intact. And I'm happy to say that I think Microsoft Paint still offers the same accessibility and inviting experience that it did to me a couple of decades ago, even though its UX has been refreshed and it's been integrated with Copilot features. Interestingly, things could have been a lot different, had Microsoft had its way. Microsoft Paint was marked for deprecation with the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update in 2017, and even began displaying a product retirement alert, urging customers to shift to Paint 3D instead. Fortunately, after consumer backlash, Microsoft reversed course on this decision, and Paint continues to be a native app inside Windows installations that can also be updated quite frequently through the Microsoft Store. Instead, Paint 3D ended up on the chopping block, which is for the better, I think. I have intermittently played around with Microsoft's refreshed Paint experience in the past few years, and I do think it has received worthwhile upgrades. the UI and the UX has been modernized while retaining core functionality, and the app is still fairly easy to use. It doesn't meet any of my use-cases, but I've never really had any use-cases ever, as described previously. Of course, the elephant in the room is the Copilot integration. Personally, I believe that this is one place where Copilot does make sense, environmental concerns aside. I know that a lot of creatives use AI to generate images, and while some may be using professional alternatives, Paint still offers a decent casual experience, with the power of Copilot. Of course, you do need to have a valid Microsoft 365 Copilot license and available credits to use it, but even if you don't, you still get the big Copilot button in the toolbar, unfortunately. All in all, I am glad that Microsoft Paint continues to be a native feature in Windows 11, and a piece of software that has evolved to meet modern needs without cutting off its own roots. It's just an iconic piece of Windows history that was an essential part of my childhood, and while I don't use it anymore, I'm just glad it is still there.

    • It IS confusing! What channel are you in on each device? I'm guessing your 16GB device is on Experimental (formerly known as Dev) and your 128GB is on Beta.
