I'm getting really ****ed. I can't move my character at all online. I have I quit and replay to move him. Complete a mission and again can't move. Getting irritated fast.

check rockstars support page and sub for updates. taken from their R* twitter

I can't even update to the latest patch to try playing online. Just get a black screen.

If you're on Xbox, clear the system cache. This will allow the patch to install correctly

PS3 unfortunately :(

Anyone had their chars deleted? my brother in law had his deleted today, he put a ticket in and they told him how he must log out to make sure it saves...

 

It's not like he levelled it all in one session, this is over a week or so

 

Edit: Wait, i logged off to help someone cap arena's in wow and come back and mine is gone too! - not happy

I lost mine yesterday, had it level 14.  Lost the character, but not the cash luckily.

 

Edit:  But hey, now my single-player characters are invisible.  Awesome.

After doing a mission with friends today we all went back to free roam and for some reason I was about 10 times bigger than I should of been like a giant, but the game wouldn't let me walk around, just stood there on the spot.

 

LOL, maybe next time you can move around and pretend you're Godzilla and destroy LS?

It's weird that they are having so many problems getting this right considering that while being on a bigger map and having a few more features, GTA V Online is basically the same kind of online experience as Red Dead Redeption.

 

I mean, it's not as if this was the first time they released something similar.

 

 

PS: also some of the crew stuff on the Rockstar Games Social Club isn't working either, and I don't see how that'd be so hard to get right.

We made a crew emblem with the designer and published it yet it shows as a broken image everywhere but on the editor itself. 

I bought it for ps3, played half an hour, and didn't really like it. Am I the weird one here? I'm not even sure what part I didn't really like. Last similar open world game that I played was the sleeping dogs, and I had loved that one.

 

GTA V doesn't have a great beginning, IMO. The robbery scene is OK but not all that exciting and after that it has a somewhat slow and directionless pace until the plot builds up.

In comparison Sleeping Dogs is more simple as a whole but the pace is a lot more constant.

 

So no, it's not weird that you didn't like the first half an hour, but that doesn't mean you won't be enjoying the game a lot better later on.

You didn't like the game period, or just MP? If the former, who knows. Maybe just state of mind. I think this is worlds better than Sleeping Dogs, tho not as good as GTA IV. Everyone's different.

 

I didn't even try MP yet. I had loved GTA 3, never played 4 properly though.

I bought the game digital anyway, so it's not like I can return it. I will give it some more time this weekend and hopefully the story will pick up.

It's a good thing I do not have that much interest in the MP portion I suppose. Still absolutely loving the SP, think I am at 35% or something along those lines.

Just a quick question about the SP

Are the movie studio  missions, car repo missions (the 5 cars for that one rich idiot) part of the main storyline, or just alternate side missions?

I prefer to progress the main storyline along, and believe those missions above are part of it, but I am not 100% sure they are.

 

This will be the game I just keep visiting over the next 6 months it looks like, and one of the main reasons I will keep my PS3 hooked up once the new consoles hit, until I finally beat it one magical day.

RDR was very much the same.

I might be wrong but I think every mission that doesn't have a ? in the map (either a big one or a small one next to a capital letter) is a main storyline mission, even though some of them might seem only tangential to the actual main story.

    • First time clicking on a Sayan Sen article after he started making clickbait, vague headlines recently. Didn't read, just came here to say the headline doesn't look like very cheap, vague clickbait this time. Are you okay?
    • Good review, and yeah the benchmark breakdown is pretty clear but also a little messy in a good way. It’s kinda interesting to see where the RX 9070 GRE slides in between the 7800 XT and the 9070 XT , especially when it comes to AI tasks and Blender style workloads. The side by side with Nvidia’s RTX 5070 and 4070 makes it feel obvious just how competitive the mid range GPU scene has gotten lately, and that’s great for creators and gamers too since you can pick based on your priorities rather than only chasing one single thing.
    • That's it. I finally uninstalled Firefox because they often keep pushing buggy updates, only to test them later and make users suffer. No longer is it my alternative browser to Edge. What a waste of energy. Firefox is bad for the environment, just like Chrome (wasting RAM/energy).
    • Microsoft Weekly: new Surface, Windows 11 26H2, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing Windows 11 version 26H2, launching new Surface devices powered by Snapdragon X2 processors, GTA VI preorder date and cover art, fresh Windows 11 preview builds, a quirky phone-sized e-reader with a physical dial, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. Windows 11 version 26H2 is now official. Alongside Windows 11's new preview builds released this week, Microsoft confirmed version 26H2, which is coming later this year as an enablement package based on the same platform as versions 24H2 and 25H2. A newly published blog post details what IT admins should do to prepare for the upcoming launch. Next, we have new Windows 11 bugs. Users report that this month's security updates for Windows 11 cause all sorts of issues, including BitLocker bugs, OneDrive issues, black screens of death, and third-party integration in Office apps. Microsoft has not confirmed those yet, but it acknowledged other issues with its operating system. What Microsoft has confirmed is a bug where Recycle Bin delete prompts display internal file names instead of actual ones, and a year-old Windows JScript compatibility bug caused by security-focused engine changes. Moving to more positive news, Microsoft and Adobe are working on improving Windows performance in popular creative apps like Photoshop. Thanks to SPGO optimizations, users can expect up to 20% better performance. Finally, we have a few useful articles that can help you recover your PC or make it perform better. For one, we published a guide detailing what to do if your computer cannot boot after a clean Windows 11 install. There are two important steps you can try to get your system back to working in no time. Additionally, there is a more detailed guide on various CPU performance modes that could notably improve performance. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Builds 28120.2315 and 29613.1000 These two builds include a new built-in audio driver, improvements to audio Settings, and more. Dev Channel Builds 26300.8697 and 26220.8690 Not much is available here. Some File Explorer improvements, Start menu enhancements, bug fixes, and more. However, build 26300.8697 is now officially marked as version 26H2. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. This week, Microsoft announced its newest Surface devices powered by Qualcomm's latest Snapdragon X2 processors. There is the 12th-gen Surface Pro and the 8th-gen Surface Laptop. Both devices feature little to no visual differences compared to their predecessors from 2024, and most changes hide inside, including a better processor, faster graphics, enhanced NPUs, and more. The Surface Laptop also received a new haptic trackpad. Mozilla is currently working on a major Firefox redesign, and earlier this week, it published a roadmap of upcoming features and highlights of the upcoming "Project Nova" rework. Files, one of the best file managers for Windows 10 and 11, has been updated in the Preview channel with a long-requested feature. Tree View is finally available in version 4.1.4, allowing you to quickly browse deeply nested folders without leaving the main view. In addition, the update improved the Windows Fonts folder, allowing you to preview each font without opening the default viewer. Rufus, another useful Windows 11 utility, also received a notable update. Version 4.15 arrived as beta with important fixes for silent Windows 11 installation. It also includes patches for ARM-based Windows PCs, OneDrive removal improvements, and more. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: Microsoft faces shareholder lawsuit over masking AI costs and slowing Azure growth Microsoft now allows you to tweak Visual Studio to new extremes Microsoft brings Planner Agent to all Microsoft 365 Copilot users Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: NVIDIA 610.62 with support for Empulse and various fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Earlier this week, we reviewed the DuRoBo Krono, a portable, phone-sized e-reader with some interesting physical controls. This device has an Apple Watch-like dial for page turning, frontlight adjustment, and more. Software is simple and no-nonsense, but it also lacks some useful features and customization. Overall, the device proved interesting, but not flawless. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. Forza Horizon 6 received two big updates this week. Alongside the Series 2 content update, developers pushed plenty of bug fixes and balancing tweaks. However, they also had to acknowledge the Eliminator CR-farming exploit and shut down the online mode temporarily. Luckily, only a few days later, another fix arrived, which re-enabled Eliminator and patched the exploit. Microsoft announced new games for Game Pass subscribers. Those include EA Sports FC 26, Junkster, Call of Duty: Vanguard, Abyssus, RV There Yet?, and more. Some existing games are leaving the catalog, so be sure to check out the full list here. New games are also available for GeForce NOW subscribers, and they include Embers of the Uncrowned Demo, Aphelion, Megastore Simulator, OPERATOR, Citizen Sleeper, and more. Rockstart Games had plenty of GTA-related news this week. For one, the company gave GTA V players another free update. Those still playing the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 are no longer required to pay $40 to upgrade to the latest-gen version. More importantly, Rockstar Games revealed the GTA VI cover art and announced the preorder date. The Epic Games Store is giving away two games: Citizen Sleeper and Roboeat.
