It wasn't when we playtested it :( Long story short, I got distracted at the same time that I purposely spun two other people out and missed a waypoint. I didn't realize it for a mile (I was just following everyone). It was kind of pointless to keep going without catchup on, so I went AFK a few times. You know it's a long race when you can go AFK a few times and it still isn't over yet.

That's not how created content works. Your published content is only accessible on the platform it was created on, it also follows you to the platforms which you play on with your transferred account. If it gets Rockstar Verified then I believe it becomes available on all platforms.

Oddly enough if you bookmark races and then transfer platforms you still seem to be able to play them. I have Horse Factory bookmarked even though the creator went over to PS4 from Xbox 360 and it still shows up in my bookmarked jobs, I haven't tried to launch it so I have no idea if it still playable.

Catchup was off unless you turned it on literally a second before starting the race. I was going to suggest turning it on but I figured someone would whine about potentially losing to someone who crashed or somehow missed a waypoint like I did.

Had another awfully perceive trying to find a game last night. It makes me want to cry.

I got me two olives and a couple of limes


Spent all of last night picking up on call heists. I think for the whole time I played I was in on two successful setup missions :toot:. The best was lucking into a humane labs finale, but then the ground team kept jumping at the wrong time, the pilot hosed up, and then we got d/c, so goodbye, potential 170k.

No, the best was the insurgents setup mission, and the one retard who refused to drive straight to the checkpoint and kept stopping to engage the Merryweather jeeps as they spawned, until we died horribly (twice).

No, I just remembered the guy who kept intentionally wrecking the car on the fleeca scope out job. Eventually I just started RPG-ing the car when he got into it because I kept missing the exit job option.

Instead of waiting forever to not find people to do Series A with, I went and spent 2 million on a speedy car, then proceeded to drive around in it and do a few contact missions. The T20 is really fun.

Has anyone had their T20 blown up yet and seen what the insurance is on it? Just curious. Kinda tempted to go on call for heists just to see if I can unlock some stuff for my second character, it hadn't occurred to me to do that before.

It should. There are actually no constraints at all with sharing created content on any platform except the rules made up by Rockstar. All your creations transferred from last gen to current gen to PC with no problems whatsoever. The only thing is that if you edited your transferred race / deathmatch you had to take new lobby photos or something like that.

Eh I wouldn't say that. One of my races, the barriers I put across the freeway that perfectly prevented cars from spawning on the racing areas on the 360 don't do jack to prevent that on the Xbox One due to changes in how those work.

And does editing those barriers to anything to stop traffic from spawning? Probably not. More vehicles spawning is a "feature" of current gen and pc and not related to the design of your track.

The barriers on the LSGT stop trucks from coming through the other side for me and getting stuck at an intersection, otherwise my race would be dicked.

I've always noticed a lot of oddly spawned traffic where you least expected when traffic is on.

You need to be at least level 5. I just started playing with a bro and the tutorial didn't trigger for him (he didn't skip it, he pressed "Yes tutorialise me" and it just dumped him into a session without bothering :v: ) and we're having to go do gang wars and hold up stores/escape cops to grind him up

I'm at level 14. Sometimes I'll get an invite to a heist or a race, but mostly it's just NPC missions. Everything else seems to work fine, like I can play with friends and do missions with them and stuff, just I don't get invites to missions when I'm solo.

The tutorials are the bane of my life and a perfect example of Rockstar just not quite understanding what they're doing; the game lets you jump straight into heists immediately, no questions asked, but when you host your own (having done a bunch already, most likely) you have to sit through the opening cutscene, then get talked through the board, and this is AFTER you've dragged together a bunch of players and forced them to sit there while you watch everything. I had people leave because I couldn't skip all that bullshit.

The loving lobby code sucks so much balls. Last night I had to cycle through 3-4 lobbies with maybe 2-5 people each before I stumbled upon one with 16+ people.

Most of my free roam is spent hunting white dots or flying planes and jumping out when I get blown up, I love the high pop lobbies.

It looks like we get double funbux this weekend for races, and free gold paint.

There are three new shirts, but only 1 per day and that comes from completing your daily objectives. I hope you like impromptu races and tennis matches.

This breaks the point of the race. (i.e. most people who aren't in the know will start off with suck vehicles, but stand a very good chance if they're willing to cross over the medians to steal a normal car and drive through the allowed openings)

Yeah, I just got "Fly under a bridge in an air race" and some other bullshit. The other day I got "Participate in a game of darts" and it took half an hour to find someone, but at least I could select it in the menu.

What platform are you on? One of my characters still has to get the rally colours, I'm on Xbox One. I also need to get the air race colours on both my characters.

If you go into the settings of your iFruit there are options for the invites you receive, I've never really bothered to check them out but there might be one for disabling them completely unless you've already looked there.
