I wish I could just buy the Single Player for $30...

 

I will probably wait until it goes on sale since I already have it on PS3...

I wish companies would do this. Sell the campaign with multiplayer being DLC or something. Even if they sold the campaign for $40 with muiltiplayer being $20 DLC I would probably buy more games cause single-player is what interests me in most games.

yeah, i almost never play online, except in fighting / racing games, and even then i prefer to play with another person on the same TV.

i never really play anything multiplayer otherwise.  so i would never buy the new battlefield, because paying full price for a single player story seems excessive.

i might buy it when it is very cheap.

 

and i am definitely not paying for GTA V unless it drops below $30 for steam.

Only took 3 days to pre-load via Steam (Y)

I assume it just makes whatever your current browser is part of the installation.

Im using a Rockstar Social Club version, not Steam.

Nah, it would have been "Chrome" then, I bet they're actually embedding the engine so they can display web pages in-game (Similar to the social club update stuff in GTA4)

I have been trying since yesterday afternoon to download this via the R* client and it has been painful to say the least. Crap speeds(for the most part) and I have actually downloaded the full preload files three times as the client wont register that its completed the download.

 

This has been a widespread issue for a lot of people - its either:

 

  • Slow speeds - we are talking 25kbps here
  • Connection issues to the server - disconnecting etc
  • Download completing - then you go to open it to see the countdown timer and itresumes the download from half way
  • Resuming after reboot loses progress

So what I, and a few others are resorting to is using the CJS keys officlal preload torrent that R* released to them and will install the preload files that way. Downloading direct from rockstar isn't doing very well at the moment.

Could you share it with us?

 GTA V was the first game that I actually spent any length of time online with, at current count it's about 100 hours! There's a first time for everything I guess. I apologize to everyone for my "troll" comments the other night, my rebellious side was out :)

16gigs
GTX 970
Samsung 250GB SSD

WD Black 2TB

 

(pre bought it when they first announced it was being released on march 24th figured it would have it on my Birthday, a little bit of a bummer it got kicked up a bit)

I came across a bit of an issue with the preload, its on a 120Gb SSD with Toca Grid and a couple of other titles, dammed thing ran out of disk space trying to unlock the files, turns out preload needs same space again for unlock to begin with. Ironically if you delete the preload and download again it doesn't need 2x the documented space....miffed? just a bit 60Gb to go via DSL 2 @16mbit! what a waste of time that preload was! :p most of my Bf4 clan are playing it and while some are having issues with Rockstar login/server timeouts, the steam ones are loving it so far....gits!

 

see you in 10 hours :(

Runs ok on my GTX 980, getting around 60fps at 2560x1440, but there's some pretty bad frame drop in areas with the Nvidia GFE recommended settings.

The keyboard bindings are stupid though, unless I'm missing something they've bound the mouse wheel to both selecting weapon categories, and selecting a sub-weapon in those categories, meaning I can only ever select the first weapon in any category before it switches to something else. And of course driving/flying is still best with a controller, but aiming is so smooth with a mouse.

Yea, the controls are a bit... awkward at times. Especially with using the arrow keys. Hey guys, I have one hand on WASD and the other on my mouse. I don't want to know what you want me to use to hit things between them. And the weapons selection... ugh.

 

I get fine performance on my 760 at 1920x, but suddenly lags like hell at things like explosions.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles

      I agree with what I think you are saying, just not in the way you are saying it. Like any tool, the amount it represents your work is perorational to the effort you put into it. It is similar to why 2nd grade math students learning to add and subtract are not allowed to use calculators, but a high-school calculous student is. For the 2nd grader, that tool would completely replace the work they are doing, for the calculous student the same tool allows them to work far more effectively while in no way replacing their effort or knowable. If you spend 30 seconds writing a prompt, then the image that comes out is no more "yours" than if you found the same image with a Google Image search. However, many of these generative tools also support highly iterative processes that allow back and forth, and merging generated images with photos or human created images. I am sure you would agree that a human spending hours of time working on a project, even if AI was involved in the process, still reflects that human's work.

You can find the official changelog for the Experimental build here and for the Beta build here.
    • We now know when and how the Universe may truly end

      By sphbecker · Posted

      I've always preferred this possibility. There is something that feels good about the idea that all matter in the universe will eventually come back together and maybe even result in another big bang. The idea that the universe would fizzle out over the eons and forever drift apart is a little depressing. I realize it is not logical to let a basic human desire for life to have a grand everlasting meaning change the way I feel about a scientific theory, but I am human, so that is how I feel :-).
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      Windoze 11 could finally go to hell, instead of making me savor yet another error I've never had. "Bad Pool Caller" or whatever TF cryptic crap0la message it is. Adding salt to injury, it says something along these lines (on the blank black screen after it hard stops): "Your windoze needs to restart. You can restart." NO WAY SHERLOCK. The PEECEE, look, it's *blocked*, I can do jack sh1t with it as it is and you say that it needs to restart? Further, that I can restart? What am I supposed to do, take a herbal bath? Sudo a sandwich? Timewaster pile of useless slop and errors, coded by monkeys and force-fed on us by a pedo-founded corporation, that's all there is to it. Now, let's have a fun weekend trying to handle the error, which after a quick internet check can basically be due to EVERYTHING, from memory faults to drivers to motherboard issues. Thanks M$.
    • Zen Browser 1.21.3b

      By Copernic · Posted

      Zen Browser 1.21.3b by Razvan Serea Zen Browser is a privacy-focused, open-source web browser built on Mozilla Firefox, offering users a secure and customizable browsing experience. It emphasizes privacy by blocking trackers, ads, and ensuring your data isn't collected. With Zen Mods, users can enhance their browser experience with various customization options, including features like split views and vertical tabs. The browser is designed for efficiency, providing fast browsing speeds and a lightweight interface. Zen Browser prioritizes user control over the browsing experience, offering a minimal yet powerful alternative to traditional web browsers while keeping your online activity private. Zen Browser’s DRM limitation Zen Browser currently lacks support for DRM-protected content, meaning streaming services like Netflix and HBO Max are inaccessible. This is due to the absence of a Widevine license, which requires significant costs and is financially unfeasible for the developer. Additionally, applying for this license would require Zen to be part of a larger company, similar to Mozilla or Brave. Therefore, DRM-protected media won't be supported in Zen Browser for the foreseeable future. Zen Browser offers features that improve user experience, privacy, and customization: Privacy-Focused: Blocks trackers and minimizes data collection. Automatic Updates: Keeps the browser updated with security patches. Zen Mods: Customizable themes and layouts. Workspaces: Organize tabs into different workspaces. Compact Mode: Maximizes screen space by minimizing UI elements. Zen Glance: Quick website previews. Split Views: View multiple tabs in the same window. Sidebar: Access bookmarks and tools quickly. Vertical Tabs: Manage tabs vertically. Container Tabs: Separate browsing sessions. Fast Profile Switcher: Switch between profiles easily. Tab Folders: Organize tabs into folders. Customizable UI: Personalize browser interface. Security Features: Inherits Firefox’s robust security. Fast Performance: Lightweight and optimized for speed.

Community-Driven: Active development and feedback from users. GitHub Repository: Contribute and review the source code. Zen Browser 1.21.3b changelog: New Features Updated to Firefox 152.0.1 Fixes Fixed transparency not working after updating to 1.21.2b (#14259) Fixed frequent crashes affecting users with Intel Raptor Lake processors Fixed an issue on macOS where choosing a PDF option, such as "Save as PDF", from the system print dialog would send the job to your printer instead of saving a file.
