Is this free to everyone or some sort of promotional bulshit tied to Twitch Prime or something else I don't want because I don't play enough video games to make it worth my while?

it's free to everyone for a limited time but you probably won't play it

it's also the version where some of the licensed music lapsed and the textures look weird

I don't have Amazon Prime, and thus no Twitch Prime. gently caress Amazon

Anyway, even if you have GTA V through Steam, you're forced to install the new launcher, and yes you can log into it and get a free copy of SA.

Tried to do the action figure scavenger hunt, but after the introduction of the launcher my game crashes after about 15 minutes of play. Awesome.

I tried verifying game files and it re-downloaded 2.62GB, something must've gone fucky at some point. I'll have to see if it solved my crashing issues.

Launcher also told me it had found unexpected files in my game directory and that such files could get me banned. No word on what those files were, though, very helpful.

What kind of error message are you getting? A buddy of mine has been wrestling with some kind of Exit code 0xc0000005 error, and the log just says "Unable to clear in-file and out-file!". It's been happening to him for about two weeks now, and he's also not able to play more than 15 minutes, and no fixes we've found online have worked. Investigation points to it being an error possibly to do with a windows update but no one seems to know anything more than that.

It doesn't give any kind of error message, just that it crashed unexpectedly and would I like to restart in safe mode. It's only been happening since the launcher was introduced. I'm using the RSC version.

I got to play for like an hour for once, then it happened again, only this time the launcher also crashed.

This issue has been plaguing a few people on the GTA discord, me included, and the only common thing we've identified is that we all have GTX 970 video cards.

Of course we're all just going to play Conan Exiles now anyway so it doesn't matter, Wheel Of Pain better than running crates

Unless I missed it somehow, it appears as if a general Thursday update occurred - I noticed a new podium car, however no *new* vehicle for sale. THIS IS AN OUTRAGE. I demand my new Raging Rocket.

I know this thread specifically says GTA Online, but I have been playing the story lately for the first time, and I've run into what seems like a hell of a bug: whenever any of my 3 characters goes into an Ammu-Nation, the guy working there just walls out. Again, I know those is maybe the wrong place, but any suggestions?

Did anything change with Nightclub warehouse goods? It seems to be accruing really slow compared to how it's been before this week. I've played a fair amount since my last sale and have just a little bit of one stock built up with all 5 technicians assigned.

Go and make sure all your businesses are actually running. If LJT tried to call you to make you defend them at some point and you didn’t, they are now offline and need to be restarted.

AzureSkys
Apr 27, 2003

All the businesses were running. I get calls from LJT to supply them, but not defend. I just unassigned all the techs, sold the little bit that was there, restarted the game and reassigned everyone and now it seems to be going normal now. More has accrued in the last couple hours than i had since last week.

true, if you're actually gonna build stock at the mc businesses. I just keep a couple bars of stock in mine for 2x bonus weeks like this, and with security they won't get raided at that level

if anyone is just getting mc businesses for the sake of building stock in the nightclub (coke, meth, cash) they can be the cheapestest most unupgradedest ones possible


fake edit: anyone know offhand how much you can have before you get raided? I'm probably erring on the side of caution at only 40%..
