Finally got that damn fighter jet. It takes forever to get the stars to go away. I maxed out the height and somehow. Helicopter was higher and extended the chase.

Once you are airborne stay low to the ground, thats how I escape the missile. And waited out my wanted level :laugh:

I got on for about 3 hours late last night on PS3, no issues (finally), got to level 8.  What's  NOT going to be fun is trying to play any of this w/o people either playing as a team or doing anything besides races (which are fun, don't get me wrong).  Ended up soloing a few missions because no one else would join, and they weren't that fun because the map is so big and they're somewhat geared for 8+ people to be playing them.

 

For instance, there's a mission where Simeon asks you to retrieve 2 cars for him.  While chasing one around Los Santos, the second one ended up somewhere near the top of the map.  ###### that.

First time I tried online (after creating my god damn ugly character, couldn't fix that), it freaked out, threw me back to single player and corrupted my auto-save (Y)

 

Having 2 saves = (Y)

CAC(Create-a-Character) is horribly thought out. corrupting your data that's not good. I have mine backed up on my thumb drive

This is true! everyone just wants to do racing even in GTA IV. Most of my friends either don't care for GTA or doesn't own a PS3. So I'm always playing it offline, to the point i start falling asleep. But I'm always open for doing more then just racing for V online. I prefer destruction, robbing and co-op more.

So I wasted like 40 minutes today trying to play online with a friend.

 

I created the character, waited for a frigging long time to be able to start the race (why the hell does it take so long if you'll be just racing with Lamar), finished the mission about stealing the drugs, bought some clothes, stole a car and got the insurance and stuff, went to a last man standing and... there it got stuck connecting.

There's no way to cancel when it's trying to join any of those events, so I left it there for a long while and finally had no choice but quiting the game. And guess what: my character doesn't exist now, I have to do all that crap again.

 

My friend was also getting stuck on several different places so basically we were just chatting over hangouts about how much online sucks while waiting for the crap to move forward.

 

And then a funny thing is that before trying online I had saved with Trevor on a ship, and after loading the savegame for some reason it was Michael who was there in that ship. Weird stuff.

If your character gets deleted, delete the game cache (not sure how to do it on 360, but on PS3 go to "Game Data" and find "GTA V" (not "GTA V Install").  That's the 1.01 patch.  Delete that, fire up your game, reinstall the patch, and your character should be back and be just fine.

 

Part of the issue with characters disappearing is that now that most of the main network servers are good, the cloud servers that keep track of data and work with Social Club, etc., are now down or not functioning.  If you'll notice, the BAWSAQ is no longer working.

I tried online again last night, the character I created looks entirely normal in game, so it's just the character creator that's "broken" (Every single character I created had dark, sunken eyes, even the one I eventually ended up using, yet it's not like that in game?) Still didn't work, but this time I managed to get to the parking lot at least (And it then sat there for 10 minutes with a full party trying to start the race).

 

I did the first heist, was pretty good except that I cheaped out on the driver and hacker, not expecting that to have such a difference on the outcome (Why does the quality of the gunner affect his driving skills? etc.), so now I've finally unlocked Trevor, he's fun.

When i get home i am going to delete the cache data and updates from my PS3 for the game and the reinstall it all because i have been having a lot of screen pop errors where textures wont load (invisible buildings and cars) and still cannot get onto the GTA:Online game so hopefully that will resolve the issue.

So far it's working a lot better after the 1.02 patch.

 

I got my first online character back although I had to start again from the beginning.  A lot faster this time, no more waiting for the race with Lamar and the only online match I tried (last man standing) started also fast and played without incidentes.

 

There was a small glitch after finishig the race with Lamar where the cinematic suddenly stopped and I found myself in a car driving around, then suddenly out of the car being "teleported" around with lots of texture glitches and finally back to the cinematic. No problems from there on.

I got past the first race, did the drug mission, then it put me in a game with randoms and told me to go buy new clothes. Then the game told me I had been voted to be kicked and it kicked me back to single player. Thought OK. Tried joining on a friend and it tells me I need to complete the tutorial lol, accept, cloud servers unavailable. Damn it.

That's actually kind of funny.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
