Aishan posted:The problem is keeping a group together between doing free-roam stuff and heading off to missions. You often get split up once you head back to the open-world after doing jobs. I haven't even got that far- never managed to get crew members invited, always had better luck getting random players. Still had some great fun races when I managed to get into a decent group.

Munion posted:So for those who haven't realized... I just found out you can deposit your cash into the bank during a mission. So when you are running a bunch of missions in a row with goons, make sure to deposit most of your cash before finishing your final round. That way when you drop back into freeroam you only have 1 mission worth of cash on you. You still lose money to hospital fees when you die in free roam though right? I'm assuming putting your cash into the stock market will guard against this, but I didn't want to tempt fate by relying on BAWSAQ remaining up. Chard posted:Two days now I've been able to get in but I get stuck at the "Waiting for players" stage of the first drat race. It's been sitting there for 15 minutes so far this afternoon Everyone but a lucky few have the exact same problems man. Yesterday I got a few hours of play in but today I can't access my character and creating a new one leaves me in the exact same situation as you.

Can you have an apartment and a separate garage at the same time or are you limited to one piece of property? I know you can only have one apartment at a time.

Samurai Sanders posted:Using voice chat in this game reminds me of how drastically far ahead in every area of speaking and language technology modern smartphones are than game consoles. My new iPhone wouldn't even break a sweat transcribing all the things every player says and throwing them onto the screen so it's easy to read and identify who said what, and into a log to be checked or laughed at later. Not to mention the game itself being able to interpret my voice almost perfectly for a wide variety of gameplay functions, almost no matter how I word the request. I sure hope the next generation of consoles can do that stuff, because the lovely audio quality and no way to know who's saying what other than memorizing voices is getting REALLY old. You are really greatly exaggerating how good Siri is. It fucks up like half the time even when I make a special effort to enunciate clearly. Controlling a game with it would be a nightmare.

Deutsch Nozzle posted:So I'm curious as to what's actually causing characters to disappear. Are they being straight up deleted by the RGSC servers or is something preventing them from being accessed? I think it's that the servers are down/inaccessible, so the game thinks no character exists. Many people in that situation have had characters reappear. The chances are good if your character still appears on the social club website. Except a bunch of people like myself made new characters which saved over the old ones, so in those cases the originals are gone forever. The notes for the current patch say that a bug existed which meant that even creating a temporary character or a character in slot 2 could overwrite the original slot 1 character, which I'm pretty certain is what happened to me, as I lost my original character pre patch and never touched slot 1 in the hope he would reappear.

DrNutt posted:I think it's funny that their position since launch has been like, "some people have experienced these occasional problems, and we're looking into it." I mean, I'm not expecting them to straight up say, "wow our poo poo's hosed" but the line they've been toeing completely obscures the scope of the current problems, and as a consumer I feel like it's kind of a dick move. It's just corporate speak. "Some users" means "most users".

So if I can save photos and access BAWSAQ that means the cloud is up right? And if my character isn't there then it's gone? I assumed as much so I started yet another new character (but in slot 2 in case the original returns) and encountered a strange issue when I returned after a break and loaded her up.  Maybe my old male character is still alive somewhere in the cloud and has possessed my new female one? Another reload should sort out this issue.  Hmmm.  OK getting killed returns her to normal.

SLICK GOKU BABY posted:I don't believe this is as intended. If you die while carrying actual money, the game still deducts the money from your bank instead of the cash on hand (I had like 1800 in cash). I am pretty sure this is still bugged and not functioning correctly. You aren't supposed to lose any cash on hand unless you have more than $5000. The hospital fees are a separate thing from that, whether they are an intended feature or a bug. Seltzer posted:How do you get the fighter jet. I've grabbed the helicopter and looked all around the military base, but no dice. Seems like you were just unlucky, there are usually a couple around the base. One behind some fence just off the runway and one by a hangar.

I'm in the same situation and tried a slot 2 character, which appears to be saving properly (so far). Surely if the cloud can retrieve my second character and BAWSAQ and snapmatic then it should be able to get my first guy if he still exists. Mind you I don't know much about this cloud business, is a reason one thing on the cloud might load and another might not? Edit- and this guy vanished even though I hadn't attempted to make a new character and hadn't hit retry at that screen (didn't even encounter the screen on that character).

And surely most people have lost characters, there are enough posts in this thread about it. If there are people who haven't lost any I'd love to know what they are doing right that I'm not. I've followed all the tips posted by Rockstar, not pressing retry, exiting to single player every time, etc. I haven't played today but I feel like it's a coin toss if my new lady from yesterday will still be there.

I've lost several characters and I'm not this angry. Is replaying the same mission again and again that important to you? Why grind when- 1. You could lose your character at any moment. 2. You can have lots of fun just messing around at a low level.

Even being able to change the wall colours would be a good step.

ruddiger posted:I skipped buying a standalone garage and sent straight to a midlevel apt then rooftop rumbled my way up to level 40 and bought the most expensive apt in the game. If I go and buy a garage so I can get the achievement, am I out the 400k that I dropped on the apt? Or can you own both a standalone garage and an apt? You should have the achievement already from your first apartment purchase, since it comes with a garage. Did you buy the apartment using the internet or the sign outside? Some people have mentioned a bug where the achievement only triggers from buying a property using the web site and not from using the sign.

That race at the military base in particular is crazy chaotic fun with wanted levels since you have the army after everyone.
