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.

    • As I've been usually saying lately - we all can thank "AI" for this.
    • Friday Windows 11 preview builds are here. Insiders in the Experimental (formerly Dev) and Beta Channel can download builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690. My Windows11 device on the Preview Channel just got 26220.8728. My guess is this build is a nightly update from 26220.8690.
    • Traffic has a surprisingly unexpected impact on your surroundings by Sayan Sen Image by Radik 2707 via Pexels A collaborative study by researchers from several Israeli institutions found that everyday pollution from traffic and industrial activity measurably changed the atmospheric electric field over the Tel Aviv metropolitan area, providing new evidence of how human activity can influence the lower atmosphere. The research was led by Dr. Roy Yaniv of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Gertner Institute at Sheba Medical Center, Dr. Assaf Hochman of the Fredy & Nadine Herrmann Institute of Earth Sciences at the Hebrew University, and Prof. Yoav Yair of Reichman University. The study also involved Itay Froomer, a student from Hadera High School and the Israeli Museum of Medicine and Science (Technoda), who carried out the work as part of the Ministry of Education's 5-unit physics research track. The researchers focused on the atmospheric electric field under fair-weather conditions. Even in the absence of storms, a weak electric field naturally exists between Earth's surface and the atmosphere. One of the main ways scientists measure this field is through the Potential Gradient (PG), which is the inverse of the vertical component of the electric field. PG is a key part of the global electric circuit, a planet-wide system of electrical currents maintained by thunderstorms and electrified clouds around the world. Scientists have long known that the atmospheric electric field can be influenced by factors ranging from large-scale atmospheric processes to local weather conditions such as dust, fog and clouds. Human-made pollution is also known to play a role, but understanding exactly how urban emissions affect the electric field close to the ground has remained an area of ongoing research. To investigate this relationship, the team analyzed measurements from a newly installed electric field mill, an instrument used to continuously monitor the strength of the atmospheric electric field. The instrument was installed at the Center for Technological Education (Roter House) in Holon and became operational in August 2024. It was funded by Israel's Ministry of Education and the Holon municipality. The electric field mill forms part of a broader monitoring network that includes nearby meteorological stations and air-quality monitoring sites. This allowed researchers to compare electric field measurements with detailed weather data and pollution records to better understand what was driving changes in the Potential Gradient. The study focused on two major urban pollutants: fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and nitrogen oxides (NOx), both commonly produced by vehicle traffic and industrial activity. PM2.5 refers to microscopic airborne particles small enough to remain suspended in the atmosphere for extended periods, while NOx is a group of gases released during fuel combustion. Researchers examined daily, weekly and seasonal patterns in the atmospheric electric field and compared them with changes in pollutant concentrations. Their analysis revealed a clear relationship between NOx levels and changes in the Potential Gradient, particularly during morning and evening rush hours when traffic emissions were at their highest. “What we observe is a direct physical link between emission peaks and electrical variability,” explained Dr. Roy Yaniv. “NOx reduces atmospheric conductivity very quickly, so the electric field responds almost instantaneously during traffic rush hours.” Atmospheric conductivity describes how easily electrical charges move through the air. According to the researchers, nitrogen oxides rapidly alter this conductivity, causing a near-immediate response in the electric field. PM2.5, however, was associated with a delayed response. The researchers attributed this difference to the particles' longer atmospheric residence time, meaning they remain in the atmosphere for longer periods, as well as their different microphysical interactions with surrounding air and atmospheric components. The study also identified a pronounced "weekend effect." In Israel, traffic volumes and some industrial activity decline significantly on Fridays and Saturdays. During these periods, concentrations of both NOx and PM2.5 dropped, and corresponding changes were observed in the atmospheric electric field. “The weekend signal demonstrates just how sensitive the electric field is to changes in human activity,” the researchers noted. “When emissions decline, the electrical environment adjusts at once, providing a high-resolution indicator of urban atmospheric conditions.” The findings showed that pollution levels can influence not only the chemical composition of the atmosphere but also its electrical properties. Researchers said the results strengthened the case for using atmospheric electricity as an additional tool for environmental monitoring, particularly in densely populated urban areas where anthropogenic, or human-caused, influences are most pronounced. The study also pointed to potential public health applications. By combining air-quality measurements with observations of atmospheric electricity, researchers said they could gain a more complete picture of how urban atmospheric conditions change over time. “Integrating air-quality data with electric-field measurements gives us a clearer picture of how the lower atmosphere evolves moment by moment,” the researchers added. “It’s a framework that can support both scientific insight and practical environmental decision-making.” Beyond the scientific findings, the project highlighted a collaboration between universities, public institutions and secondary education. Researchers said the work demonstrated how students could take part in real-world environmental research while contributing to studies of air quality, atmospheric processes and their potential effects on society.

    • We aren't even at the all-star game and Microsoft is talking about an update that will most likely be released during the World Series if not after. A lot can happen in the world between now and the 2026 World Series, including the 2026 FIFA Cup. Tell me about it again after the FIFA Cup is concluded. That should allow plenty of time to prepare for it.
    • Great, tell me when I have a "Bad Pool Caller" elsewhere not in Windoze.
