The good news is that I figured out I can hurry up the cashier while robbing a store by blowing on the mic instead of yelling. The bad news is that it annoys the hell out of everyone else.

Is there a setting that'll allow me to do this without bothering the other players?

Naw, I keep harassing people to make one, and I'm too loving lazy. I will post the mumble deets here when I get home.
edit: Thanks Antoine.

Bear in mind its pretty much just a bunch of us who play in the evening, its nothing like CTS, which I highly recommend if you want 24/7 goon company.

:siren: People getting the freeze frame bug from failing a heist:

Once you can see the mini map, open the menu and change the screen resolution. After you hit apply and it asks you if you want to keep the changes, hit No and it should be fixed.

Also, the bug seems to happen 99% of the time when you are the cause of the heist failure, so an alternate fix is to get better. :smuggo:

In the interaction menu (M), there's a setting for voice comms, I set mine to "no-one" since I usually just use mumble for voice comms anyways.

Had a bounty on me and needed to act fast.

Doing this makes me wish I could get a few more disguises.

Is there a way to get the police outfit on PC without doing a character transfer from the consoles? Cause drat I like how it looks on my character.

An even easier way is to hit alt+enter to change from/to fullscreen.

So I created a small tool to match people up for heists since nobody on PC knows who everyone is at the moment. I couldn't figure out how best to do this with a google form, so I made it myself.

I only spent a couple of hours on it so it sucks but it does what is expected.

You can Host a heist - set a day and a time or join one that someone already has made. Right now it's for complete heists. All or nothing. Not sure it would be worth it to break them down further. That just sounds like a headache.

PM me with feed back or if something is very wrong or missing.

The old way doesn't work on PC, and if you transfer over from consoles it will wipe the cop uniform.

bad passwords aside, not having two-factor authentication options in TYOOL 2015 is p dumb

Can you buy GTA 5 directly through this website? I mean, if they're taking payments, and don't have any authentication other than just password for full control, that's pretty bad. Oh, and the fact that we're finding out they got compromised, and it wasn't my awful password, that's bad too.

I guess the scariest thing about this whole experience is that this guy could access my Xanga, circa 2003.

Can you do anything with the safes in the back of the convenience stores, or are those rooms just for show? The cashier will always yell at you if you go back there but as far as I can tell there's nothing actually there.

They don't do anything, just decoration.

However you can rob all stores you enter by simply shooting the cash registers wit a gun until money pops out, this includes blasting the other cash register in "normal robbery" stores to get more cash than the clerk hands ya.

AmmuNation, the clothing stores, they all work for this method, though usually you need to shoot opent he door to walk in without your weapon automatically getting unequipped. Make sure to shotgun away the clerk in AmmuNation or he'll kill ya for trying.

Yeah, usually only like $50 pops out though so I tend not to bother - compared to the 1-2k you get from a stickup it's not even worth the bullets.

You allocate points to as skill by doing it, rather than by assigning at level up. Shoot mans = raise shooting skill. Drive = raise driving skill. Etc.

Also go do flight school to train up flying real fast, the first like 5 missions in it are easy and will get you up very quick. Really helps to have less "turbulence".

It's a VTOL but it's kind of sluggish, still fun. You can fly it in heist #3.

Is it as tanky in game as it is in that mission? Because it takes several rockets like a champ in that mission and my air-based bounty hunting could use some extra defense.

Insurgent without a gun can be stored in your garage, and you can chrome wrap it and give it big gaudy wheels and a Sad Trombone Horn. It's really the best personal vehicle ever :allears:

You can't just buy a garage, because you won't be able to do your own heists

The bars mean nothing, most cars go beyond the bars, once fully upgraded. The other thing is actual driving is key, as is Slipstream and catch-up being enabled.

Once you complete a heist, you can host it again from your heist room.


Insurgents are grief wagons:

I had a pubbie trapped inside. Another one walked up, and I moved forward to let him in. Then I had two pubbies trapped inside.

This one was fun. Managed to wedge his car in the doorway:


A few seconds later I rammed it all the way through, which killed the pubbie. Sadly Snapmatic is a piece of poo poo and didn't save my screenshot.
