This week, finally sat down to work out and understand the premise of the merge glitch. Finally got it working on a couple of cars. Sat down last night to do some more, but got a warning about some data mismatch or something when trying to log in. Finally got in, and couldn't get the glitch to work, went to check on my previous successes, and they've reverted to non-merged. I guess if doing that work can be taken away so easily, won't be trying it again.

Not sure if its the same set of glitches as dupes, but every week it seems like :rockstar: has been removing a few of these glitches from certain garages/properties. Maybe you got hung up in one of them

I'm kind of conflicted on these bennys and F1 wheel glitches, and outfits. I'm not a goody-goody NO! to fun guy, so it's not a moral thing for sure. I regularly use some of the clothing glitches for multiple head pieces(hats+masks and others). Most of the examples I see look like hot garbage, so maybe that's it. I know it's possible to make some real cool looking stuff. I know some of the glitches(and this may be more in the realm of duplication) you have to basically gently caress up a garage or multiple parking spots that now cant be used normally. Other than loading times and things done directly by hackers or menu kiddies, I've been very free of problems in-game. Daily on the subreddit there are tons of pics like "HOW COULD THIS HAVE HAPPENED?" and just shake my head, yeah how could this have ever happened in that janky rear end garage you got going on there, what is that, a hydra on bennys rims you got in the nightclub garage? Don't really want to introduce some of this glitchy crap not knowing what it might affect later down the road, and not knowing what is now or might be bannable in the future, or removed if not banned, ya know?
Example of this is the Epsilon robes or Tshirt(I forget which). I had one of them, and then did the gender swap glitch when it was a thing. After the change, the robes are gone because of how the clothing database works, yet the system knows I've already done the task needed to unlock it, so tipping the bathroom guy/getting lucky with macBeth won't ever produce another set

I geuss I'm not actively seeking them out but if some real refined stuff comes around I'll probably jump in and make a few monstrosities

For PC theres usually peeps willing to do it on the discord. Other consoles may have some in there but unsure of numbers

Do you have the arcade and all that goes with it, or just looking to do the heist as a joiner? Either way, join on and make them dollas

I didnt win the car yet but from what you guys said its quite fast. I kinda prefer races with sports cars or slower because it tends to keep the pack together a little more. Still might be fun. Anyone try it yet?

Keep an adversary in the dark about what you're capable of, and he has to assume the worst.
I haven't played but you tires wear out, you can choose between soft/medium/hard tires with varying degrees of grip and rate they wear out. Stopping in the pit can builds back up the wear level (tires don't actually get swapped by a crew, the longer you stay stopped in the pits the more the gauge fills) and it also repairs damage to your car, most importantly replacing your front/rear spoilers if they get knocked off.
Broughy who does lots of car ranking/comparison videos has a quick video on it.

The biggest thing I took from Broughy's video is that these cars have 2 functioning spoilers (front and rear) plus down-force - and the surface area of each spoiler directly affects front/rear cornering grip vs maximum straight-line speed.

Expect the R88 to be winnable on the podium within the next 2 weeks - it's in the files but we don't know exactly when.

The thing I took from Broughy's video was that there is no point to go for anything other than the low downforce setup as the cars have stupid levels of grip by them selves and keep the top speed.

Not all of them. The asbo, retinue mk2 and rebla GTS all perform best with max suspension, but with the sultan classic the middle options are optimal, which is good because they look normal.

A Reversal of Fortune, Perhaps?
A few days ago, I considered posting my quick disconnect script to make winning the lucky wheel vehicle more efficient and decided against it, since it didn’t seem broadly useful enough to the thread. However, I’ve since found a more important use for quick disconnect. Even if you don’t care about the lucky wheel at all, when stuck in the clouds, quick disconnecting then immediately reconnecting often unglitches the game and puts me in a solo public session in seconds. The method I scrapped together in half an hour can definitely be improved upon, but given how slow transferring between lobbies/sessions has gotten lately having some method comes in handy. It saves time and makes the game better.

Requirements: Windows 10, Autohotkey installed. Likely adaptable for Win 7.

Make these 5 files posted:

1. Internet Off.bat
2. Internet On.bat
3. InternetOffShortcut.lnk – shortcut points to Internet Off.bat Needs Run as Administrator enabled Under shortcut properties, shortcut -> advanced -> Run as Administrator
4. InternetOnShortcut.lnk – shortcut points to Internet On.bat Needs Run as Administrator enabled Under shortcut properties, shortcut -> advanced -> Run as Administrator
5. GTA Online Quick internet disconnect.ahk
Find out what your local internet connection is called and replace ‘ Ethernet ‘ with that, leaving the doublequotes. I can see mine in Network Status. Could be annoying if the name of yours changes often.

Internet On.bat posted:

netsh interface set interface name="Ethernet" enabled

Internet Off.bat posted:

netsh interface set interface name="Ethernet" disabled

GTA Online Quick internet disconnect.ahk posted:

numpadMult:: ; multiplication key on the numpad to disable internet, see Autohotkey key list for alternatives.
Run "H:\Autohotkey\InternetOffShortcut.lnk" ; replace file destination with wherever you put your shortcut.
return
numpadDiv:: ; Forward slash on Numpad to re-enable internet.
Run "H:\Autohotkey\InternetOnShortcut.lnk" ; replace file destination with wherever you put your shortcut.
Return
Shortcuts were just to get around Windows 10 not allowing autohotkey to run applications as administrator. Yes there’s cleaner ways of doing it. But it works 100% consistently for me. Had no need for such a script before, but it has multiple uses in GTA Online.

After set up, double click the AHK script to start it, runs until closed in the taskbar bottom right. I’ve never been banned or punished for running simple autohotkey scripts like this in any videogame.

edit: nearly forgot, to use it for the lucky wheel, first you'll want to test it, get something interesting you were going to watch/listen to anyways going, disconnect near the bad result, wait until you've completely quit the session back to SP, reconnect, wait a couple seconds, press home -> reconnect to rockstar, close rockstar when it pops up, go to online -> invite only session.

Public sessions load slower and worsen your turnaround time. Solo/invite only is preferred. I got it down to 2 minutes between spins.

That's for getting out of the clouds, right? Not abusing the lucky wheel?

e: I do want to explore other methods of getting the game to give up on joining a session when it's taking too long. Quick disconnect is an extreme option but guaranteed to work. Resource monitor, session sweeper might also be options.

Also discovered A post on GTA forums with body armor / HP information updated in 2019. It's worth knowing regular HP maxes out at 328, but a super heavy body armor is only 50, for a total of 378. Proportionally, buying all snacks provides a lot more survivability than 11x Super heavy body armor.

Unless I mixed something up Heavy vest only works in regular heists now where it doubles HP.

So, while the MOC stuff is actually paying marginally more money I'm going through and actually supplying my bunker with missions for the first time to unlock all that sweet MOC content I've never seen before.

Unfortunately, the payouts still seem poo poo, so I'm mostly doing this for fun. Are any of the missions in particular worth running this week to unlock the trade price for one of those old vehicles or are they all functionally obsolete and uninteresting?

As someone who owns all of them, the vehicles are mostly uninteresting... but the missions can be pretty fun...

The Ruiner 2000 is useful for its VIP work because it gives you a practically indestructible ruiner to run around in with the crazy good missiles. Pretty good counter to the oppressor mk2 or anything really.

I have a strange affinity for the armored boxville. Before they buffed the ramp car and the phantom wedge, it was surprisingly fun to run around in and fling cars all over and it never broke down from doing it.

So, they aren’t worth it, but what else are you going to spend your money on?

One last thing:
:rockstar: please add a spoiler to the ruiner 2000

loving awesome, I saw a random pubbie driving with the packie van. Asked if I could get inside, he was nice and let me in, delivered it and I unlocked him. I was not in his organization. Afaik only 2 can do it at once.
In fact, created my CEO at the last minute and it stopped him being delivered. Had to leave it again, then we turned in and both unlocked.
