So it turns out that if you take an otherwise stock Hearse, put a remote detonator bomb in it, and park it by a church, people will get in it and drive away because they want a Hearse. Best to let them get within sight of a Pay & Spray or garage before popping them.

I was reading the Killdozer thread back in Gee Bee eSs when it dawned on me....we need a Killdozer in GTA.

The first time I found a Dozer, I got in it and drove it (very slowly, for a very long distance) to a Pay & Spray, hoping I could armor it up and have my own Killdozer.

I almost cried when the game told me no.

I stole a car from a modder today. I was following a level 400+ guy around, he went to the airport and left his car, a Jester Racecar, parked outside. Then he teleported across the map. Then one of my friends came on and invited me to their invite session.

About an hour (and a couple of session changes) later, I saw the car still parked outside the airport. I got in it and drove it to LSC... where it let me put a tracker and insurance on it. As soon as I pulled out, though, I was booted out of the car and it wouldn't let me back in. I blew the car up and it respawned a short distance away. I took it back to LSC, but was told it was worth more than $50,000 so I couldn't sell it.

I blew it up again, but sure enough, it's insured to me. And I can't sell it. So apparently I have a fully-upgraded Jester Racecar that I can't get rid of now.

As a brand new player, it was immensely satisfying to me when I grinded out about $400k to buy my very first high-end apartment and supercar. I even used my 10% Legendary discount on that $150k car.

The next day, I got shot with a money minigun and bought a ton of other things that I hadn't expected to ever be able to afford, and I've had a lot more fun with those things than I would have had trying to make that much money.

Also I still have that cannot complete missions bug. Went searching around, and found this reddit post that has a fix:

It works consistently, which is cool and all. Still no idea what the gently caress causes it, though. :sigh:

That happened to me, and the solution was to restart my PC. Something-something-memory-leaks.

I did a Pacific Standard finale where we ran to some guy's apartment and got in his Karuma like usual, and then... no cops. We had 5 stars but not a single cop spawned on our leisurely drive to the boat.

The Prisoner is probably the hardest position as you're limited to an AP Pistol with not many rounds and that's it unless you start looting dead bodies. The Guard and the Prisoner really need spare multiple suits of body armor in the inventory as well.

The guard can drop ammo for the prisoner. There's also a spot between the inner and outer gates where you can jump a Karuma over the wall and into the prison yard.

They should probably fix it for you guys soon. Somehow both of mine were safe and sound in my garage today. I didn't drive them but I did re-arrange them in my garage so at least I think they are safe.

I don't know about the other guy, but I erm, obtained the returning player bonuses via illicit means (the unlocker that was linked earlier in this thread). But if it were deliberate, I'd assume they'd take the Pegasus vehicles and the hatchet, too.

Sadly the faction gets caught on every curb (while the bumpers on every other car clip through curbs).

circ dick soleil posted:

Faction or Faction Custom? Once you upgrade it, it becomes a lot more forgiving. Though I assume the curb flipping is a bug and it's going to get patched soon. It really is absurd and makes the stock Faction undrivable.

The Faction Custom is much better, but it still does it. It's just a bit higher off the ground with the hydraulics pumped up, but it'll still get caught on things.

But you still have to scroll through all the pistols to get to the ap pistol when you go from on foot to in car.

If you pull out the AP pistol before getting into the car, it won't switch to the Uzi. That's a dumb workaround and if you change weapons in the car afterwards it fucks it up.

Boy, I just got properly stuck on the Humane finale. I mean completely stuck - the cutscene in the lab didn't trigger, so after five minutes we tried walking into the elevator, and that's where our mission ended - nothing triggered, no buttons worked except Social Club and chat, and even after the mission ended we were still stuck in the elevator. Alt+F4 did work, and that's how my game ended. :(

When that starts happening to me, restarting my PC is the only way to fix it.

I stopped getting the texts for about a month, though I'd still get 2-star wanted levels if I randomly got in a car he wasn't texting me about. Then about a week ago, the texts started coming again. I think it's just buggy.

Speaking of bodyguards. Are the new armored cars good for ramming? Seems like the armor would make them fairly heavy, so that would make them good escort cars in the event that became relevant?

The Baller isn't. It does a nosedive and spins around when you ram something.

Are there any handling/performance differences between the two versions of the new armored cars? Ex: Schafter V12 vs LWB and Baller LE vs LE LWB

The LWB is slower than the shorter version. And the armored is slower than the non-armored. But it's not a huge difference.

Had something weird happen, I encountered an NPC-driven Rhapsody out in the wild, which was the first time I'd seen one, tried to jack it to see if I could store it in my garage or if it'd be one of the cars that you had to buy if you wanted to drive. I was able to dump the driver out, but then the door shut and I couldn't get in, like it was a player vehicle that had been set to not allow anyone in. Is it because you're not supposed to find Rhapsodies out and about, or just a weird random no-steal bug?

It's a bug that started with the Lowriders update, affects almost any DLC car that spawns (and most of them do, just very very rarely). I know they're doing some extra anti-cheat detection to keep people from saving modded cars, my guess is these DLC cars are collateral damage to that. Prior to the bug, you wouldn't have been able to keep the car anyway, but you should have been able to drive it around in that session.

Who knows if they'll fix it.

I was prepared to hate the VIP stuff, and while it gets old after a while, it's good for when you're with friends and don't want to deal with the hassle of mission lobbies and loading screens. Especially with a low-level player or two to absorb some easy free money and RP for doing essentially nothing.
