I wish one of us would have had the wherewithal to think of this yesterday. Now half of us will be cursing the loading screens while the other half spends the next 4 hours or so trying to min/max our neandarthavatars. I need to get a grizzly beard and some "my boyfriend beats me" sunglasses to cover up as much of this thing's face as possible.

I read on the Rockstar newswire that you like, input how much your character parties, or something like that? And such inputs affect how the character looks? Is this accurate at all? If so, I think I'm going to make mine a goody-goody so they don't look beat to poo poo.

Pressing the special skill activation buttons LS + RS just does your personal gesture in Online.

Where do you set your personal gesture? Was it when you choose your car in that first mission? There was a countdown timer so I rushed through that :ohdear:.

edit: Answered my own question. Hold Back and choose it from there.

According to my Xbox I'm suffering from 'strict' NAT settings. Having looked online and tried a few router configurations I can't fix this showing up.

Anyone else had this same problem? Has it impacted your ability to play online? I've personally not had much experience playing online with the 360.

I used to get that randomly, and I'm on a router that I can't mess with due to it requiring a login on a screen with no English text. I solved it by restarting my router once in a while, seemed to make it start up with looser NAT settings, which would randomly tighten up at some point. The classic turning it off and turning it on again solves many woes.

Played a bit and the hand wave on your character's silence is funny. My first shared mission seemed a little janky. I had to rob a store with some dude and he just waited in my badass FUTO(!) I had jacked minutes earlier outside the store. After we escaped the cops we kind of split up and not sure what happened but it said I was a bad sport and I should be careful in the future. I was the one who got the cash bag for holding up the gas station so I'm not sure if it doesn't automatically split it or what.

Overall once I think once I figure out the quirks and how to login to my Social Club to join a goon squad this will be seriously bangin'.

A solo GTAO option appeared for me at the Nth time I was booted back to single player. Those sessions still time out on creation though.

I'm still waiting on the patch on the PS3, but a thread on Reddit says that you can deposit cash straight from your phone on the Maze Bank website. Might make things a little easier.

Well that's great, it loaded up where the tutorial race was supposed to be and the marker was missing so my character walked through it and now I have control and can move around with no objective.

Yeah, as expected really, servers are taking a battering and everything is slow as gently caress.

Restarted my console and when it reconnected I had a completely different character. Who was nowhere near as cool as mine, so I hope that hasn't saved.

I'll give a few hours till I try again.

Apparently there's some kind of system you can use to downrate or report people for being a ~*bad sport*~ if you're not happy with your money or something? Gee, I'm sure that'll only be used for legitimate reasons.

To get the patch on PS3, restart playstation, then start up GTAV and you will receive a prompt to patch.

You have to split the money via an awkward and unintuitive menu but the game does tell you how to do it, or at least it did for me.
