Won the dumb podium car like everybody else, only took 9 quick disconnects! It's a marginal improvement over the Vagner, the last supercar I bothered getting. Glad I skipped like 20 in the interim.

Also glad Broughy1322 kept updating his Vehicle Rankings. Took 'er into some pub races and sure enough won almost every race.

edit: Then joined a Casino heist finale without knowing what to do really and got almost all the take 1st try. That went pretty smooth.

Emerus has been on top of the Super class for a while, but it's not up-to-date. The Imorgon has been live for a while, followed by (roughly in order) the Komoda, Furia, Vagrant, Sultan Classic, and Everon.

Also it doesn't account for being able to toss turbos onto electric vehicles via iFruit :ssh:

You can also just force quit to the same end, though load time could be a factor you'd consider

There's a small chance for the save to happen on the black "are you sure" screen. If you unplug ethernet, turn off wifi, or just disable your network connection, it will kick you back to single player allowing you to quickly reconnect it, log back into social club and boot up online. Turn your spawn location to Penthouse or Last Location to get into the casino as quick as possible and load into Invite or Crew Only for negligible load times.

It takes me ~2 minutes in-between spins, providing something like 20+ chances in an hour while watching a show on my other monitor.

You can also repeatedly get your daily 1k chips or convert $50k cash to chips from the chip exchanger lady this way.

That's why I've got my mouse hovering over "end task" and use my controller to spin the wheel :eng101:

Speaking of which, at least with a controller, you can push up first for a harder spin.

(I've got bad luck with disabling internet connections, they like not re-enabling)

I found consistency with a quick and dirty internet disconnect script I made, something I haven't needed for a game before. Works for Windows 10. Requires autohotkey and a little specific setup, but cut down a bit on the turnaround time because I don't have to quit the game. Uses 5 files and could definitely be improved upon.

Same except 2 files bound to mouse buttons:

netsh interface set interface Ethernet disable

netOn.bat posted:

netsh interface set interface Ethernet enable
exit

I guess the catch is your mouse software has to run in admin mode. "Ethernet" may vary depending on your own personal nonsense.

That's really funny, my disconnect script is the same. Except instead of running the .bats, I run shortcuts to them because autohotkey apparently can't run in admin mode, but shortcuts can have the admin property.

Finally got mine deposited yesterday after playing every day myself. Hopefully it's just a queued thing and you'll get it, wonder how many people are logging in for it. I haven't played in a long time but I was a little bit surprised at how populated my sessions have been, it actually got pretty annoying for a little bit running CEO missions yesterday!

rockstar said it's gonna take longer than expected for a bunch of people because their servers are being hammered. makes sense given the steam sale on gta5 for such an event. the very large amount of people logging in and out repeatedly for the oppressor probably isn't helping. social club keeps going down from all of this, so im already expecting mine to take awhile

I just boughtr GTAV on sale for the ps4 (had it before for the ps3) and I really want to like the online. There are some really fun and creative games modes, but man, I just can't deal with all the waiting and load times. load the world. Find a game. Load into the game. Sit in the lobby for a while until the game starts. Load the game. Play for a little while. Match ends. Load back into game.

Normal missions are annoying enough as it is for me, I haven't even tried any heist yet. Frustrating when you don't have anyone to play with.

you can make playlists of all those jobs or races you like. cuts on some of the wait because you're going straight to a lobby for your next saved thing

load game (takes forever because you either have a slowpoke console or the atrocious launcher dragging everything down on PCs nowadays)
load online (takes forever because you can't tell the game to load into an invite-only or singleplayer instance at this point so it loads 16 players, or tries to)
time out, get booted to singleplayer
load singleplayer
load online (limited session so it loads faster)
select job
load job
sorry job is full
dumped into random lobby again, slowly
time out
go to singleplayer
load invite-only session
join heist
1/4 player disconnect
get dumped into random lobby that never loads

One of the most profitable video games on the planet and this is how they managed to hook players on shark cards for 5+ years, I don't understand people anymore.

Join missions/heists on-call using your phone, works pretty good. Lets you mess around in your session until the host launches and THEN you join their game.

Pretty much. Played such a fun game where cars were going down a massive ramp at people with RPGs. This is the kinda of online sandbox gameplay dreams are made of, but everything just takes too long...sucks the fun out of it completely.

Pretty much this. Everything about trying to actually play this game was such a chore and... I'll just finish SP. There is some promise of fun somewhere but I'm not gonna spend the time to find it. loving disappointed.

Just go to to Quick Job function on your phone, pick whatever mode you wanna play. The game will try to find a lobby, then populate it, then pull you out of your game when it launches.

I've been playing a bit in the last few weeks for the free money promotion and I have to admit I've been consistently surprised by how chill and friendly most of the PC lobbies have been. I used to reflexively load into invite only sessions but I pretty much just play public now and it's never really an issue.

Which lead to the entirety of the post I quoted. It's amazing how accurate that was and told me it's not gonna get better.

Also I gathered there was no way to filter out hard mode heist cause that got me yelled at. Very fun

I've only done a few heists, but I've had a little better luck on the weekends when more people are playing to find 1-3 competent randos to run with.

Having said that if you've successfully broken free of the urge to play an online multiplayer game, by God take it. Do not get a bunker, do not feed into the loop of making number go up to get slightly better car/bike/chopper. Run free!

god, if any modders read this thread, please PM me if you're willing to remove my weapons. a hacker had the galaxy brain idea to give me every weapon when i was in an otherwise empty lobby even though im above level 120, meaning i have every weapon i already need but now have weapons i never bought and don't need. they don't even show up in the menu to buy ammo and I can't put them in my gun locker. i couldn't even use the weapons in that lobby since he put a giant ramp on me which made me unable to accurately aim weapons since i couldn't see. I've tried doing the workaround rockstar suggested of draining all my ammo for those types then doing a job, but it was better at draining 45k from me than helping me.

^^^ ....wow.


I don't think I put myself in a join only lobby but I can check every one of those boxes in a 90 minute play session, on a high end PC. It's kind of amazing how much the game tried to keep me from playing it for as long as it did. Ok fine I did get into 2 heists, the hard one I blew instantly & another one where the pilot crashed into the ground a minute after they got their plane, after my teammate with the armored ..K whatever car left me in a rush from the start. Which happened in the other heist too. Love a player base who don't even pause for an instant in a team situation :thumbsup:

I was really trying to relax and I got nothing but a mountain of poo poo for it. Like I said I don't know anyone else who plays this and I am too much of an rear end in a top hat to do much about that so...yeah. I simply need to vent about how awful it was I guess.
