Still recommending the Steam controller because the aiming is superb once you've tweaked the trackpad and gyro to your liking (and got used to the slightly cramped action buttons), although moving the mouse/trackpad while hitting certain controller buttons causes some weird bugs where it keeps activating action replay or record as though I'm pressing F1/F2, despite having neither of those mapped to the controller. It's not that big a deal, but it's really bizarre and I don't have anything like that kind of bug in any other game I use the controller with.

Hi5 Steam Controller buddy. Also the ability to add activators without using third party software. For example, if I hold down A for over a second, Steam will turn on turbo mode and press A rapidly for me. Great for sprinting, swimming, and pedal biking without tiring my thumb out.

I made a dumb bot for the discord. Most of it's experimental and probably buggy.

Commands:
!avatar [@user] - See yours or someone elses avatar.
!color <color> [remove] - Give your name tag a custom color. Available colors are: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, or purple. I'm still fine tuning this one. No, I won't add pink for the special snowflakes.
!newswire - Get a link to the Rockstar Newswire site -- filtered to GTAO posts only.
!ping - Just used to see if everyone's silent or your connection is hosed.
!play [gta|heist|versus|race|payday|gmod|remove] - Advertises to the main chat that you want to play a dumb game. Also puts you in a special meetup channel. Consider this a "looking to play" setting.
!thread - A link to, well, you're looking at it.

How do I do this with my Steam controller?

First opt into the Steam beta client if you haven't already. It gets the latest features and fixes for the Controller first. Then go to your controller configuration for GTAV, select the button pad and select A to bring up the A button binding screen. Click the back button to open up the activators screen. Add a new activator, set type to "Long Press", bind the A button, and turn on "Hold to Repeat (Turbo)".

Or search for "Official Configuration with Turbo A Button" by me in the community configs. My config doesn't have any users so it's probably at the bottom.

Yeah, I have A set to double tap and hold for sprint, it rules. I currently have the paddles set to LS/RS respectively for ease of taunting and sounding my horn without end, but setting them to X and A for use when aiming is also great.

Newbie tip: GTA Online is almost entirely Peer-to-Peer, so having a open NAT means less likely to have lag, splits, and all other networking-related issues. For PC, you can check your NAT status in game via Rockstar Social Club (Click gear icon, click Settings, click Network Information). This Rockstar article what ports to open and links to guides on how to do this. PC peeps will have to scroll to the way bottom.

The Sanchez is a fine havoc-mobile. Low insurance makes it good for suicide bombings.

What are the FoV values for the slider? I read it's 65-85 but can't confirm. Would like to know to try out some fov mods for single player and to calculate it for my setup.

I've already reinstalled it on another SSD. It was my m2 drive that died. Samsung warranties them for 5 years though, they're gonna replace it. The sata SSD will slow down my load times, still faster than a HDD.

edit - Just logged back in to this retarded game. God help the pubbies.

2nd Ever GTAGoons Play Trouble In Terrorist Town Saturday :jihad:

which is tomorrow at 6pm PST just like last week.

This time, we'll have our own server with no dumb pubbies and their terrible server rules. There's a GMod chat channel on the Discord, check in there for instructions and also to make suggestions if you have any! Otherwise, see you all tomorrow for the event that no less a person than forums GTAthread superstar coupedeville described as "fun"!
