Probably not. Was it a Kick or did he actually tell you he reported you. You should have given him a reason to report him after that.

If you get reported by a whole bunch of people in different sessions in the same few days, it generates bad sports points. If it's just one guy, it barely affects anything.

Doesn't the prison have SAMs? I would have broken off to go light up the guards but I was expecting to get shot out of the sky if I tried.

It does, that's why I said hover outside, not land in. As long as you stay outside the ring road around it you can lock on to the noose guys without getting shot down.

It's a fine line to walk but it makes things go quicker. I tried landing inside the prison but you get a a 15 second warning to leave the prison. I was able to fly in, nearly land, and fly out without getting hit.

Buy the Armored Kuruma, load everyone up in that, drive straight into the crowd and have everyone open up with Micro SMGs. The Armored Kuruma is amazingly useful.

Sounds like a plan. How do I guarantee that the Kuruma is the car that's available when I start the mission?

If you have access to a helicopter (particularly a Buzzard or Savage) High Priority Case is a good solo mission too. I've managed to solo the Los Santos Connection, but I wouldn't recommend it.

Also, RE the Prison Job: keep in mind that if the jet can't get a clean shot on the Velum, it will absolutely go after the dude in the Buzzard. And that loving chopper can't evade missiles for poo poo.

in the prep screen when you're choosing your outfit it will ask you which car you want to start with. it's the bottom option below masks.

Our demo guy said this happened to him. it's not hard to keep the jet away from the prison though. the ai behavior is predicable.

Yeah, they're all street cars. :(

Once in a while when I fail a heist by getting killed, the camera gets stuck looking at a picture of my face, even when the next try is loaded and--according to the map--I'm fully in control. Is there a fix for that?

I want to run through Prison Break and possibly Humane Labs tonight starting ~10pm EST on PC. I haven't done them yet (except a few of the prison set ups) so I'm looking forward to going through them. I'm a good pilot though (gold on every flight school mission like it ain't no thang :smug:) so I'd be happy to do the flying.

Related, is anyone else having random driver freezes with a GTX 970? Im not sure why but every 1-4 hours I get a driver stopped responding error and GTA (but not the rest of my computer) gets a black screen. It's super loving frustrating when I'm trying to do heists and I've tried a whole bunch of poo poo and can't seem to solve it. It's super loving irritating when I'm trying to do heists or something, and I only have a problem with GTA 5. :(

Took me a full gta day but I was finally able to hunt down the Coveted mission marker (seems to be time related?) and play it... but when I was done it refused to let me select it from recently played jobs or place it in a playlist so I can do it whenever. Annoying.

It seemed easier than when I played it last back on 360 though.

With the Kuruma, even the normally near-impossible Death From Above is easy solo. Drive in, waste a bunch of dudes, drive around to the back, kill the target. You can even take the photo without leaving the car, then all you need do is lose the cops.

Solo protip - a lot of missions where you steal a vehicle, a wave of enemy vehicles start spawning as you get in the target vehicle, but they eventually stop. Get straight back out and into the Kuruma, then kill everything arriving until no more enemies appear. Then you can drive the target vehicle without problems. Most of the "steal the car/truck/trailer/RV" missions work like this. Even in The Los Santos Connection, the enemies will eventually stop spawning and you can hack the laptop in peace.

I just tried out the framerate -> acceleration theory, and it doesn't seem to make much difference 0-100mph using the cars own speedometer. I tried at the 60 i normally run, console graphics at 134fps, and console framerates at 24fps. a fully upgraded schafter was 18-19.5 seconds to 100mph.

This happens to me too and it's super annoying, but I found a fix. If you're fullscreen, alt-tabbing and then going back in should fix it, but if you're windowed/borderless windowed, switch it to something else.

They're all pretty similar. My choice is the Entity or Turismo depending on the race. The Turismo can both launch other cars into the air and be easily knocked around. Zentorno may be best all around, I just hate looking at it.

Yes, there are 3 settings, full auto aim, semi-assisted, and free aim. You'll get grouped with other people using the same aim format as you. If you join an activity hosted by someone with a different setting, it will warn you that it's switching you. Everybody in a deathmatch has the same setting as you do, despite their claims that you're using auto-aim and they're not.

I see that option now, and I see why I missed it: it's grayed out even in free roam. What do :(

(edit) Oh I see, I gotta do it from offline. Is this gonna make my matchmaking pool really small? Also what's the difference between partial and full assist?

partial gets you in the ballpark. full puts you dead on target. it doesn't reduce the pool because you still get invited to stuff in other aiming modes, it just tells you that it's going to switch you before you enter.
