* Fuck Rockstar for letting me buy this game after being excited of it for months ... or year
* Fuck Rockstar for installing the game to find out windows live needs an update after which i need to reinstall the game.
* Fuck Rockstar for after 1,5 hours of installing and uninstalling to find out my minimap and menu is missing.
* Fuck Rockstar for restarting the game a zillion off times to find out i can't see any graphic ingame nomore except for my car.
* Fuck Rockstar for printing in their manual that calling the helpdesk will cost 70 cents a minute while they tell me if i call them they charge 80 !!
* Fuck Rockstar for being in hold for 26 minutes while calling the helpdesk to get disconnected while they put me to an operator !!
* Fuck Rockstar for letting me save money on FOOD for a month to make it possible to buy this game
SO FUCK THEM AND BURN THEM ALL
Oh hell.... let their be a thank you ...
* Thank you Rockstar for not letting me buy anymore legit games/software from now on !!!!

Seriously, why did you call the helpdeks? They are never helpful and just waste time and money. Your best bet is asking people in forums. Helpdesk operators have a generic script of questions they are ask you and even then, you can confuse them if you answer something that is not in the scripted answers.

@Lath
you didnt need to uninstall GTA to update Windows Live...just close the game and update, then start it up.
As for your other problems, report them to Rockstar (either by phone, email or on their boards). So that way they know what to put in their upcoming patch (which ive read is gunna be HUGE).

After i installed the windows live update i tried starting the game but i got an error : Game installation missing or something like that.

Weird dude. Didnt happen to me. I closed the game, downloaded the update, installed, started game and it worked fine.
Im tellin ya, the patch that is coming soon is gunna be so HUGE. Prolly like a 300mb + patch I bet. If not...im gunna be pissed.
Cuz aside from problems like the ones you and others are having, they need to optimize the game a ton. Which they said the patch is going to do.
So basically, Im not gunna play it until patch or just play MP (Cause MP works flawlessly for me, better than SP...but since i got 8.11 drivers for my X2, SP runs alot better but not as good as it should....according to the box specs, the game should run smoother than silk for me ya know?)
Try updating your drivers maybe.
Or send me a pm with your email and I will send you this thing I dled that is about tweaking graphics and tells you what drivers you need. And if the guide/tweak/doc doesnt help, search the Rockstar forums, tons of helpful hints and stuff to get your game running better.
But like I said, the game isnt optimized well at all so in the end, even if you do get better preformance, still gotta wait for patch.
What I dont understand is, why not a) test the game longer and make it optimized to the tits or b) release a big patch fixing all issues and optimizing day of release
Lots of games/companies do that ya know?

lol I used to love doing that shit to my ISP call center. I have a bad attitude when talking to them so as soon as I ask an advanced question they try to answer me with some scripted bullshit and I start screaming and they connect me to the american department. Assholes.

So ask to speak to a senior tech....and those guys know their shit. Its there job to know everything. They dont read outta a book with scripted answers.
Thats what I always do when I need some issue resolved through my ISP. I talk to the normal idiot tech first, just say "not working, not working" then ask for a Senior Tech. Either they will transfer you or the Sen Tech will call you back within half an hour.

Oh, I love molesting ISP helpdesk employees. Their ignorance is awful (senior techs are a little better, but still bad). When you shout enough, eventually they have the shift supervisor (who actually knows what he's doing) call you.

hahaha me too.
If I get someone who I cant understand I ask to be transfered to a Canadian or someone without an accent. They get offended but fuck them.
I hate trying to get help from someone I cant understand what they are saying.

I must respectfully disagree Syco.
GTA for PS3 looks like complete and utter GARBAGE when compared with the PC counterpart.
I have a PS3 sitting on my desk here hooked up to the same monitor as my PC. I can tab over with the push of a button, the difference, quite simply, is night and day.
Also of note is that I'd be surprised if the PS3 version was running at any more than 30 FPS.
Who wants to buy my PS3?  |
Oh, no need to disagree my bud I think the PS3 version looks like SHIT compared to the PC version, hence the reason I bought the PC version
The only reason I keep my ps3 is for the occasional game that comes out that is awesome but exclusive to PS3.
@Lath
do you have a pirated copy or a legal copy? Cuz the patch (for the legal company) improved the game for just about everyone...from low-end to high-end pc's. Check out GTAForums.
Tho, from what Ive seen, ppl with high end systems and high end gpu's benefited the most. My game runs completely fine.
The only issues I have is that the game runs in a emulator and puts a ton of load on the cpu instead of the gpu. my gpu is 2gb.....it can hog it as much as it wants for all I care ya know?
But RockStar said they are gunna fix this with the next patch (sometime in Jan or at the latest, early feb). So hopefully, with that patch, my game will go from 100 percent to 200 percent awesome ya know?
EDIT
@Lath
Just read your other post. It could be your sys. What kinda rig do you have bro?
Cuz the only ppl ive seen that have had problems since patch is ppl with low-end pc's or low end (when it comes to GTA) gpu's. Everyone that has a high end cpu and gpu are completely satisfied with this patch. Cuz before the patch, gta for me was unplayable - to much skipping and lag and shit fps etc but now, once I play for like 3 mins, games runs smotth man.
Since your having probs still, signup on the GTAForums and report it, in detail (like what exactly is wrong...if you have a legal copy...if you dont, your SOL). Cuz Rockstar Toronto (the ppl who make the patches) constantly check the forum and the threads with ppl posting problems and are working on addressing/fixing them.
I'd say in another 2 or maybe 3 patches, the game with run completely fine like a pc game should. I heard they are getting rid of the emulator (which is what puts the load on the cpu and not the gpu). Once they do that, it should improve the game for everyone. Whether you have a lowend, medend or highend pc.
Cuz thats the big problem. Instead of making it a truly PC game, they basically transfered the existing versions, made an emulator, put the basic PC things in and released it which is now causing a shit load of problems for a TON of ppl.
As I understand it, ppl like me, who have a 2.5 quad, 4gb ram and a high end gpu (I have a 4870X2 2gb) or similar/even better like Cox and his supercomp arent having any problems aside from some minor minor issues that could easily be fixed with a like 20mb patch.
But like I said, they should be addressing every issue in the next patch or 2. Again, after (im hoping) 2 patches (1 big one and a med size one) the game should be up to par and be rather good.
Lath, didnt the patch atleast cut down your load times? I never had a problem with load times but lots and lots of ppl did and everyone has said it has extremely cut down on load times (in game and not).

Man, rockstar is a good company.
Granted the PC version was released basically unfinished as they I guess skipped the standard bug testing or rushed through it so they could get it out for the holidays....but the xbox and ps3 versions work fine (not as nice as PC tho).
So, if you do have it for PC, just be patient, they will fix it as they dont want to lose their most loyal fan base, the PC gamer.
If you dont have it, keep up with the patch releases and see whats fixed and when most issues are resolved (like the emu is taken out) then grab it.
But over all, Rockstar is one of the best game dev studio's imo.

I signd up with rockstar forums but that didnt help anything.
My problem is that i own a 7950 GX2 card and this card doesnt work with the new released NVIDIA drivers. Nvidia says it is supported but it aint. All 7950 GX2 users are experiencing this problem with this drivers. And without the driver no GTA.
Nvidia doesnt admit the problem... rockstar stil isnt and my card manufacturer also not |
if there's not a thread about it at the GTAForums, make one and everyone with the same card/issue will post and it will bring it to light as rockstar (well, rockstar toronto anyway, only one ive seen) will see the thread when they visit and prolly will do something about it in their next patch.
I think RS Toronto makes the patches and they visit the GTAForums site daily.
