The ones I have all seen simply have everyone gated in while one other player is outside the game with an assload of weapons.

Im surprised that people are still falling for that poo poo. Although once I think I got enough players with me to kick the guy who was using the weapons.

Nearly all the ones I've played, there's basically one specific way to get out to the weapon area and in theory anyone can be the one.

My favorite one involves a helicopter you escape to by doing that thing where you take cover against a fence to slip inside a tight gap, and you can easily get into a tank once you land.

I did it the other day and got dinged for the replacement fee, but supposedly if you make some distance between yourself and the car before it blows then you won't get fined.

Aw, that's a shame. It was fun watching someone arrive at the impound, realise what was happening and start freaking the gently caress out.

Still, there's worse uses of your time if you have the cash to burn :v:

Jesus the game reset itself again and I had to go in and fix all my settings. This happens like once a week to me...this time luckily it didn't make me redo the prologue.

What am I doing wrong?

If you see the gamma calibration screen just back out of the game and close it right then. When you relaunch it everything will be fine.

We gave up when we saw you were offline. Everyone had to get up early, it wasn't a big deal at all.

Bisticlz, our high school friend who was playing with us, is he a goon?

Rockstar finally put up the patch notes for this update.

quote:

New Features / Updates

Changes have been made to the Matchmaking options and UI. This affects:
Heist Planning Board
A new option has been added to the Heist Planning Board that will allow you to press Left on the D-pad to quickly join a Heist as a crew member. You must have an active Heist in order to access this feature.
Heist Lobby
A “Matchmaking” option has been added to Heist lobbies that allows the Host to quickly change whether matchmaking is open or closed. When set to “Closed”, only invited players can connect with the Heist lobby. This option is “Closed” by default, which means only players you invite can join the session.
The “Client Invites” option has been reinstated for the host of the lobby that is “On” by default. This allows players that have joined the Heist to invite their friends. If you only want the host to be able to send invites, “Client Invites” should be set to “Off”.
Improvements to the “Auto-Invite” matchmaking option to help fill lobbies faster
Improvements to matchmaking for Heists to fill lobbies faster

Miscellaneous Fixes

Fixed a minor animation issue when throwing grenades while aiming on the PS4
Fixed an issue where the Bad Sport flag was not correctly being removed from certain players’ accounts
Fixed an issue where vehicle frames were not visually displaying damage correctly when heavily damaged
Fixed an issue where a black screen was appearing when PSN was down
Fixed an issue where the “Looking for job” display was being removed after accessing the Internet from the in-game phone, even though matchmaking was still in progress
Fixed an issue where the player could lose control of character after backing out of hacking the vault in one of the Heists
Fixed a rare issue where the player could get stuck on a cutscene if launching a certain Heist while in Ron’s Survival introduction
Fixed an issue where Criminal Mastermind progression was occasionally not tracking properly
Fixed an issue where players could spawn multiple parachutes
Fixed an issue with the time of day on one of the Heists
Fixed a possible crash when a One on One Deathmatch was initiated around the same time as a Heist invite
Fixed an issue where a Kraken could be replaced by a Dinghy after receiving a Title Update
Fixed an issue where a previous fix for character appearance changes was not applied correctly if the player was wearing a mask
Fixed a rare issue where players could get stuck on a black screen when trying to enter GTA Online
Fixed an issue where the objective could display incorrectly after evidence was picked up in one of the missions
Fixed a rare issue with lost player control after accepting cross-session invite
Fix for issue where some players were experiencing freezing when trying to use the in-game cell phone in Story Mode
Fixed miscellaneous recent exploits
Other minor fixes for GTA Online and Story Mode to improve general stability

It's a good thing that nobody actually wasted funbux buying a Kraken!

Is the ol' "Jerrycan a dude's car and ignite it with your exhaust flames" still a trick that works?

Park an npc car next to the target car, and torch the npc car to avoid paying insurance when the PV mysteriously explodes in a freak accident. It's the same trick with one step added. Alternatively, cargobob those fuckers into the sea.

gently caress, wait, does "Fixed miscellaneous recent exploits" mean they patched out police uniforms, because I still need one.

Once I realized he was a young person and not an adult he grew on me. That said he is the oldest freshman I've ever heard.

Having done the last heist again, I do think it's overall pretty enjoyable. The Trevor heist is really the only weak link I think.

April 13th: Dear PC players: Thank you for your patience with the extended work we have had to put into GTA5! However, due to some unforseen circumstances in the latest GTA: Online patches, in order to prepare the PC version to be the best it can possibly be we unfortunately must announce that the PC's release date is now September 28th. To make up for all our players who have been patiently waiting for the release, we're now granting every player who preorders by August 31st $200,000 more money to spend in the online game as they wish!

Excited to play GTA V for the first time in April when it lands on PC. What are the odds GTA Online will be completely borked on launch day? From what I've heard, I'm pretty much treating that as a guarantee.

Question for the folks with an XB1 -

Seems whenever I log out and yell at my XBOX to turn off, it doesn't actually turn all the way off (staying on so I can yell at it to turn on again). Occasionally this leads to an issue where I log in to GTAO and it refuses to. The only solution I have is to go into settings and restart the XB1.

Is there an easier way for this, or have I found the workaround that's best?

The funny thing is we did 2 heists after midnight on March 10th with no problem, it was only the next day when everyone rushed on that it poo poo itself. So it seems to be an issue of traffic (they could still do something about this but it's apparently not "cost effective" to spin up a bunch of servers for 1 day) more then programming incompetence.

Rockstar says they use a cloud infrastructure (that's supposed to handle spikes in traffic), but I don't think they really know what it means.

So I've got 3 people looking to do a full heist run through (all heists in order and with the same people) for the $2,000,000 bonus and we need a 4th person that will be willing to play enough to do this this weekend and has a microphone. We would probably like to start around 12-1pm EST and play until like 6pm or so I figure that's probably enough time to finish at least 2 or 3 tomorrow and 1 or 2 on Sunday. Now that I've typed that it sounds super spergy but gently caress it I want my GTA funbucks.

This really depends on the heist, the Trevor one is completely doable with pubbies who are barely competent, any of the other ones are going to have points where you want to gouge your loving eyes out.
