DO NOT use the “Retry” button after receiving the message “Rockstar Cloud Servers are unavailable” as this may result in loss of character! If you are trying to access GTA Online and Rockstar Cloud Servers are unavailable, please exit to GTAV Story Mode and try entering GTA Online again through the Pause menu in Story Mode. READ THIS WARNING BEFORE YOU ASK IN THE THREAD IS GTA ONLINE... ONLINE RIGHT NOW? thanks MrSpiffy http://caniplaygtaonlineyet.com/ UPDATES FROM ROCKSTAR.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olEGtoYs_8A Welcome to the world of GTA Online, were you and your friends can shoot each other in the face, shoot pubbies in the face, shoot store clerks in the face and even the police in the face. Together. Oh, and you can buy houses and cars. Rob banks together with friends. Race people or just have a good old fashion death match! The world (of San Andreas) is your playground. Have fun. You can make up to two characters, with more slots to be unlocked at a later date. (or maybe DLC/micro transaction?) Before being set free in the open world, you have to do 3 tutorial missions. A race with Lamar, a mission for Lamar's associate and then a Last Man Standing multiplayer match. This takes about 15 minutes or so if you don't dick about. Once you are free from Lamar's clutches, you can roam around the open world, which acts as a hub (with a lots of poo poo to do!) from which you can launch missions in. There are missions dotted all around the map. More of which unlock as you level your character up. Some of these can be done alone, though most of them will be done with other players. When you start, there are only a few types. Deathmatch Last Man Standing Car Races Bike Races Push Bike Races And no doubt more that I'm missing right now, but there is loads and more once you level. More stuff is due to unlock once Rockstar sort their servers out. One of which is Coop Heists. Yeah, that's going to own. You can do all this, with 15 other people. They could be your friends, they could be random 13 year old's who totally shouldn't be playing this adult game, but they are. Or a mouth breather with the mic on. Urgh. GTA Online Checklist by theBeaz
Currently, GTAO is boned. Its nigh on impossible to even do the tutorial race without the game making GBS threads itself, sometimes it just kicks you out randomly, sometimes you character will not save his or her stats and many other wonderful things. But once you pass that race, you're almost ready for smooth sailing. (ahaha, I'm kidding shits whack still) Be warned. Its a loving big game suffering a massive influx of players which Rockstar didn't expect. They are doing the best to fix it, but its going to take time. They even released a statement before launch saying (though I've taken some artistic license) "Holy poo poo we sold a fuckload more copy's then expected! Don't expect this poo poo to work right way. Hell, it might take a few weeks. Just stick with us until we unfuck the servers and everything else. I hope we have the fire brigade on standby!" But if you want to read what they really said, go here! http://www.rockstargames.com/newswire/article/51422/some-more-details-on-grand-theft-auto-online.html Here are some handy tips that MAY help you get online. READ THIS IF YOU CHARACTER HAS VANISHED! Robawesome posted:I sent Rockstar a ticket regarding my missing character and they responded within ten minutes saying not to create a new one and to either wait for the cloud to find my file or wait for the title update which should also rectify the issue. Also, my "proper" cash balance is showing again. BOTH Xbox 360 and PS3 Delete your existing GTAO character and try again. Open your routers PORTS for your consoles online service. Xbox 360 Delete the latest patch and clear your 360's hard drives cache.
PS3 I have no idea and I can't find any solid info, other then what VarXX posted. If you have any other tips. Post them up! VarXX posted:PS3 users who are having problems getting past the tutorial should delete the 1.01 Title Update and try again, and if that doesn't work, delete the character that's stuck before the race and make a new one. When you complete the race you'll probably lock up. This is okay because now you have completed the race so just start online again and never have another issue. (Until the Cloud servers break and you lose all your characters) So you made it into the game. Good on you! Now what? Need cash? Need friends? gently caress THAT LITTLE poo poo SHOT ME DOWN gently caress HIM! Here are some tips to get you started.
RANK UNLOCKS Rank 5: Micro SMG in Ammunation for $3700. (Buy this ASAP.) Rank 6: Golf, tennis, darts and arm-wrestling added to the map. Rank 8: A one-time chance to alter your character's appearance. Rank 10: Introduction to Lester. (more to come when somebody tells me more of them, or I play the game more) SELLING CARS AT MOD SHOPS All cars listed are UNDAMAGED. Prices will be lower with more damage to them. You can sell one car every 48 minutes REAL TIME.
WHAT ABOUT THOSE GTA $$$ You can spend real money on in game cash. Well, you'll be able to soon anyway. They took the feature down while the server crapped out. Here are the prices, anyway! Great White Shark - $20/£13.49 = 1,200,000 GTA$ Bull Shark - $10/£6.99 = $500,000 GTA$ Tiger Shark - $5/£3.49 = 200,000 GTA$ Red Shark - $3/£1.99 = 100,000 GTA$ So now you have some cash. Or not. Because you died a lot, but you want to play with goons? Alright sweet. Here's the deal. GTA Online Goon Crew thread - http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3569678 This has all the active crews. From East side to West side and even Australia. You'll find a crew to rep in here! There is currently a 300-member limit on crews, so we have divided them by platform. Please don't take up a spot on a platform you won't be playing on that could go to someone else! You can be in up to 5 crews at once, though, so go hogwild with timezone-oriented crews if you so choose! Or you can find a fellow goons in the same area as you looking to do the same poo poo as you. Check it! Xbox 360

Reposting from the old thread because it bears repeating: GTA Online Checklist
Gentlemen I think GTA Online is already a success. And new content: I was able to get in on launch day probably mostly due to luck... but you too can try what I did if you're getting stuck waiting for players on the intro mission. Go into singleplayer first, then Pause - Online - Start Solo Session. This doesn't guarantee that the race won't still break, but if you get as far as where "waiting for players" WOULD be, it should just load up and have you racing Lamar. Once I got past that I've had very few problems with GTA Online.

Things to add to the first post: Use the "Players" option in the Online pause menu to check your reputation and full stats. Set your Vehicle Access in the Back menu(I don't know what it is on PS3) to Crew + Friends so people can't steal your vehicle. Tap down on the d-pad once to see a list of players on the server, tap it again to see the expanded map(it goes back to small map after 10-15 seconds). It also shows your experience bar at the top of the screen. Use the "Join Crew Members" to join sessions with goons. First time doesn't always put you in a session with crew, so use it until you do. Use down on the d-pad or the "Players" option in the Online pause menu to see who's on the server. You can start closed sessions of various types from the Online menu in the pause screen in single player. Use this if you don't want random pubbies to join your sessions with crew.

Not sure if this should be in the OP or not, but I'm aware that I'm not the only one experiencing this: Not only have I not been able to connect to GTA:O, the update has cased bad glitches in my singleplayer game. Post-update, I can't switch characters in singleplayer. Since I'm on a mission that requires switching mid-mission, the story mode is essentially locked out for me. I can freeroam as Michael, but I have none of the weapons I had before and can't switch.

I would add that everyone should make a female character too. First, it makes the intro cutscene a thousand times better. Second, 90% of player models in-game seem to be skinny white guys with beard, sunglasses, or beard and sunglasses. There's some variety, but not much. Working through a bunch of race and deathmatch lobbies today my girl just looked classy purely because she stood out so much. Tanned skin, blond hair, neck scarf. My girl Matilda looks amazing. Also, something hilarious about the strip club. No bouncers, so you can touch the dancer as much as you like. The flirting is no longer a button though, you have to talk into your microphone to flirt. Rockstar are being glorious trolls here, someone somewhere is going to embarrass themselves over mic and I only hope I am there to witness it.

You can create multiple characters and see both intros once the servers are working more smoothly. If I recall correctly, there are 4 slots total with 2 unlocked to begin with. It's pretty crazy that there's other online stuff in menus that you can only get to in single player.

For whatever reason you don't get the 4 stars automatically when flying a helicopter over the base so you can actually land right next to the jet on the runway and you'll get 4 stars but usually nothing will spawn close enough to even pose a threat, now all you have to do is take off and avoid the first couple missiles they launch at you and then it's time to terrorize pubbies

Some info that people may be curious in. It seems that some of the apartments in the same price range are completely identical visually inside. The only thing extra you're paying for is the location. Namely, the $80k and $87k (both 2-car) ones are copy-pasted, even down to the props you can use inside. I imagine it's the same for the ones that cost around $200k (10-car), but for those you at least get a working window so the view may justify a price difference. The ~$200k ones also seem to the be the one they showed off in the trailer, extremely spacious inside with a gorgeous garage for showing off cars. Might be worthwhile getting a list of which properties give you which interiors exactly. I think there may be four or five different price brackets, looking at the list.

It might be worth noting in the OP the ranks at which important things unlock. I think it was something like this: Rank 5: Micro SMG in Ammunation for $3700. (Buy this ASAP.) Rank 6: Golf, tennis, darts and arm-wrestling added to the map. Rank 8: A one-time chance to alter your character's appearance. Rank 10: Introduction to Lester.

I got past the intro movie. I walked to the blue trigger and a cutscene played where a guy drove up next to me and got out of his car and walked away. My char stood there looking at the car. Then it went to a blurry shot of the city overlaid with that blue bar and "launching session" and it was just chilling like that. I spoke to a guy over voice chat that said he could see me standing there and that he's been waiting a long time too. I killed the game. I had a funny glitch though. In character creation, my gal was stuck in talking animation - her mouth wouldn't stop moving and she was gesturing. It kept going through the Lamar cutscene.
