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.

    • Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote

      Poll: Grand Theft Auto VI price predictions, cast your vote by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe After years of waiting, Rockstar will be solidifying the launch date of Grand Theft Auto VI with the launch of pre-orders next week. While the studio has confirmed a date for this occasion, it is yet to attach a price to the highly anticipated game. So let's see what our readers think it will cost at launch. The Grand Theft Auto VI pre-orders will kick off on June 25 for digital and physical editions. Unless some last-minute changes happen, the release date will be November 19, 2026, across Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5. Unfortunately, there's still no information about a PC version from the developer or the publisher Take-Two. Now the question becomes, how much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost at launch? The game is predicted by some analysts to be the biggest launch of an entertainment product ever. With the amount of hype that has been built behind it and with ballooning development costs, Take-Two may price this Grand Theft Auto entry differently from other AAA titles. The current price of a AAA game is $69.99. That norm almost rose to $79.99 before calming down. But with such a massive release, Grand Theft Auto VI may be the game that pushes the boundary again. It's also possible that Take-Two keeps the price relatively low to increase the number of players that jump in early and keep them hooked on Grand Theft Auto Online to spend on microtransactions for years to come. Keep in mind that the below poll is asking for a prediction of the standard edition price, not a deluxe or any other special edition that Take-Two will introduce for additional benefits. Also, there is the chance of the company splitting up the campaign and online portions. If you think that will happen, put your vote on what you think will be the total cost of the two. Poll Poll: How much will Grand Theft Auto VI cost? $59.99 $69.99 $79.99 $89.99 $100 or more Submit Vote If you have a very specific prediction in mind, sound off in the comments below.
