Soon as you get the code let us know please. Waiting on them being available before I buy :D

 

No problem!! I bought it tonight, and received this email from cdkeys:

 

 

We anticipate being able to release keys for GTA 5 PC on or most likely before the 11th of April. We understand the game download is very large and we will do our best to ensure all pre-order customers have ample time to pre-load the game in time for the release date (14th of April).

 

They have started releasing them though already so check your emails regularly!! I was originally going to go via steam, but

Shouldn't take them too long to work through the backlog, I think they are aiming to have it done by weekend. I'm just glad i finally have a key.  :laugh:

After seeing that image that Dotdot posted, I'm curious as to why Google Chromium is a required part of the installation.

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

Im using a Rockstar Social Club version, not Steam.

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.

There better be some cheat/hack prevention in this game for that amount of $$. Max Payne 3 was pretty much ruined by cheaters... am not sure if R* has raised their game..

 

Rockstar already said there wouldn't be.... so get your rage face ready...

 

All they did was ask players not to use online mods.. lol like they will listen...

DLCompare shows RSC keys are cheaper than Steam keys but I want to earn Steam achievements, so I paid a bit more. Still much cheaper than the RRP you'll pay on Steam.

People who buy it on Steam are suckers. Must be the same people who'd buy a Dell monitor on Dell.com for RRP when they're all much cheaper on Amazon.

Well I guess this is a failure even prior to launch.

Max Payne 3 had one awesome multiplayer mode.. shame that it was butchered through the lack of support.

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

      By Usama Jawad96 · Posted

      Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release by Usama Jawad Windows 11 typically follows an annual update cycle, but Microsoft recently broke that tradition a bit by releasing a "26H1" version in the first half of this year as a "scoped" build for select new silicon PCs only. This version was not available for customers using 24H2 and 25H2 builds, as Microsoft is busy preparing version 26H2 for them, confirmed officially for the first time. In a Windows IT Pro blog, Microsoft has urged IT admins to prepare for the upcoming release of Windows 11 version 26H2. The company has confirmed that this will be a small enablement package (eKB) that will simply light up certain disabled features that are already present in the operating system's code base. This means that the "refined" Windows update and deployment experience will be simpler and quicker, with minimal disruptions, as the feature update will simply toggle a few flags rather than performing a complete replacement. Microsoft has explained that this is all possible because the standard Windows 11 releases share the same servicing branch and hence, the same source code. However, this also means that Windows 11 26H1 users won't be able to upgrade to 26H2 as that is a different branch, but this is something we have known for a while now. Similar to previous annual feature updates, Windows 11 26H2 will offer the following support cycles: 24 months of support for Home, Pro, Pro EDU, and Pro for Workstations editions 36 months of support for Enterprise, Education, IoT Enterprise, and Enterprise Multi-session editions Microsoft has not confirmed a concrete release date for Windows 11 26H2, but noted that it is "coming soon". If we go by the ongoing release cadence, we can expect it to begin rolling out in early October 2026. As such, IT admins have been encouraged to begin validating Windows Insider releases in the Experimental Channel, plan rollout rings, and strategize the utilization of their existing deployment tools.
    • Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds

      Windows 11 gets new audio improvements in the latest builds by Taras Buria Today's Experimental builds (26H1 and Future Platforms, formerly Canary) pack several audio-related improvements. If your device is enrolled in the Experimental Channel (26H1), you can download build 28120.2315, while those in the Future Platforms version have build 29613.1000 to try. Here is what is new in build 29613.1000: [Audio] Following up on our previous improvements, we’re making some more adjustments to Settings > System > Sounds based on your feedback. Namely, we’ve updated the “All sound devices” page so: You now have the ability to change default devices from this page. Each of the devices displayed on this page now has a little volume meter next to it to show if there is audio actively playing. We’ve adjusted the page design slightly so now you can filter whether you’re viewing input or output devices. We’ve added toggles so you can choose if you want to hide or show disabled, disconnected, and unplugged devices on this page. We’ve also updated the input and output audio properties page for devices in Settings to now include jack information for those that need it. And here is the changelog for build 28120.2315: This update includes a small number of minor bug fixes and improvements. [Accessibility] This update improves caption style responsiveness by redrawing captions immediately for caption style changes. If no current caption is visible, a sample caption string is displayed. [Audio] This update improves the reliability of the inbox HD Audio driver. You can find the official release notes for build 28120.2315 here and for build 29613.1000 here.
    • 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.

    • 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 :-).
