So I might have missed an answer to this but I can't find one (maybe there isn't one yet) - If I create a multiplayer character on my save - does that character become the multiplayer character for all save files or can each xbox live account have multiple online characters?

drat I'm jealous. I've never been able to access BAWSAQ as it says it's always down and I've never seen my socialclub stats on the R* site get updated.

Is this happening for heaps of people or am I just dumb and am doing something dumb?

R* needs to get with a GPS company to work on pathfinding.



I'm going from the big highway in the city to the highway taking me north. It should suggest the red line, not the purple one.

edit: The same with city driving. GPS always gives you some weird zig-zag directions. It'll have you turn left/right five times in a row instead of just going down five blocks then over five.

GTA IV had the same issues, but they show up more in V because there are more freeways and the grid isn't as perfect as Liberty City's (so the navigation system finds routes that cut a corner and are thus shorter by a negligible amount). Another thing I’ve found it likes to do is have you cross a divided highway to exit on the wrong side.

That’s a 31‐bit integer. :colbert:

But seriously, I would expect the limit to be 2 147 483 647 with a signed, 32‐bit integer in two’s complement form. :iiam:

Drive around or something for 5 minutes, then check, maybe? Tonight I tried accessing BAWSAW right away and it was telling me it was down for maintenance but I hosed around a bit and tried again and it worked. It's gotta get stuff in the background from Social Club, it doesn't seem to do it during load.

Sorry I realise that I was just assuming that it would use a similar system to one of Rockstars other multiplayer games that I have not played. To be honest GTA V is the first video game I have played in years that wasn't on a handheld.

If you look at the amount that the character currently has, it's 2,147,483,647. From that thread that I linked, it seems that anything over that number gets discarded, so it's probably best practice to sell only what you need to reach the max.

Pretty sure you can. You do it for at least one mission. I just can never get on the drat things because they are moving too fast. I'd be willing to bet there is a train station somewhere where you could do it.

You get scuba gear with the Dinghy boat



There are a few locations.
In the Port of Los Santos, on the west side of Elysian Island.
By the barge under the Miriam Turner Overpass .
Southwest of the Post Op depository.
South side of the island by the dry docks.

Yeah, it's probably around 95% of the map, not all of it. I know I still had a little patch left over the military base, and outside the coastline.

Does everyone else make sure to hit every one of those stupid yellow things in the middle of the road when you have to drive up the excruciatingly boring western edge of the map? If you aren't doing that poo poo in a race car it's a long loving drive.

And what's the deal with taking two of my characters and dumping BOTH of them off in the middle of goddamn nowhere after a mission. That poo poo is mean.

There isn't anyway to retry the (random encounter)Packie encounter, is there? I didn't realize it was him at first and didn't put in much effort and failed it, I think.

There is!

Just wait a few in-game days, and try driving past the encounter area as Franklin or Michael, and the encounter should respawn.

I think it eventually starts dumping you in places you haven't been to yet. Everyone keeps spawning on the tops of mountains for me at this point.

In one of the transitions into trevor when you're switching characters, he's trying to get into a bar by the beach, and he says "i'm a hipster, it's ironic"

I like running around sucker punching people. I should rephrase that. I like sprinting everywhere and punching everyone in your path. You usually drop them in one hit and get their sweet $20. Sure you get a wanted star or two, but it's good practice for evading the cops on foot.

This kind of stuff is hilarious. Franklin often shows up to my missions wearing a scuba or skydiving suit.
