Alucard155 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Why was this moved to troubleshooting forums? It's clearly the same kind of problem like the other problems we've been seeing at the "pcversion" forum.. Then why the F was this moved? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I contacted R* but haven't heard back worth sh1t from them yet, have they given you an offical "explaination" ??? I think it is pretty fair to say virtually ALL GTAIV PC gamers have this bug, so they NEED to recognize it, and they NEED to fix it! The xbox360 could see 10X further than this, and it is NOT acceptable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spliff Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Just wanted to add that I attempted to do some sniping and I can confirm that you cannot hit the invisible drivers. The unfortunate thing about this is that it makes the sniper rifle (and any gun, really) useless for this type of gameplay. It's a pretty glaring oversight in a game that is otherwise so committed to the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard155 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Just wanted to add that I attempted to do some sniping and I can confirm that you cannot hit the invisible drivers. The unfortunate thing about this is that it makes the sniper rifle (and any gun, really) useless for this type of gameplay. It's a pretty glaring oversight in a game that is otherwise so committed to the details. I nearly cried when the cars kept driving even when shot the drivers(invisible ones ofcourse) trough the windshield.. And I haven't heard anything back yet.. I contacted them once about the "bowling bug" , that's a problem with the mouse sensitivity.. I explained everything and gave my dxdiag and msinfo files with the email.. You'll never believe this but instead of 24hours later(like it said it would) it took about 3 days until they contacted me back with an email.. But that's not the worst part.. In that reply to my mail they said that it would be helpfull if I could send my dxdiag and msinfo files, because now they didn't know on what system I was playing the game.. But I DID f*cking send the files allready.. *sigh* sry.. just.. sry.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nurdle Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 I have this bug too. Time to send yet another support mail to R*! Here is how it looks for me.... Invisible Drivers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qumulys Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Yeah I have this same problem as well. I was mighty p*@#ed off after I spent $8500 on a rifle, only to see....nothing to shoot at. I am so frustrated, annoyed and fed up with this excuse for a game/port, but what really grates my nerves is how ROCKSTAR TORONTO keeps avoiding all the topics which show serious flaws in their lousy port job. At least Santa will leave them a microscope for x-mas... Then, when they've found their balls they may make a comment on this and do something about this lousy treatment of us gamers. If I add up the total of rockstar games I've got its around $800aud and this is the treatment we get! You guys wouldn't even have jobs in the first place if it wasn't for US genuine game buyers!!!!!!! I've learned my lesson though, I dont care how "fantabulous" gta5 will be, I will avoiding anything r* at all costs in the future like many thousands of us will.

Just the typical auto-response of "Your question has been received. You should expect a response from us within 24 hours." Yeah me too.. But uhm, isn't *Rockstar Toronto* viewing this forum? I would really like a conformation or Godwilling a fix for this f*cked up bug... Edit: I wouldn't even call it a bug.. It's like a stupid limitation on system resources... Funny thing is, you see peds walking at the street from a mile away but when they're in a car you don't see them.. buh..

creat3d22 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 It appears to be more of an intentional limit than a bug... which, like you say, is pretty weird considering how we can see peds from much further away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alucard155 Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Rockstar plz confirm you are working on this problem, make the game on pc as good as it was on the console versions and I will be happy enough for the moment... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rekalty Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Whats the point of having cars in "high-detail" drawn at 20 range, when the drivers only spawn at 7... street-peds spawn at 15, so that just makes it even more silly... Dunno how this number is converted into something usefull, feet/meters, but its just freakin silly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamnotyou Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Bump, and I would like to hear something official also, weather this is "PC optimization" and we are SOL. Or this is known as a bug. Man I wish R* had some official forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mthmob Posted December 20, 2008 Share Posted December 20, 2008 Has anyone noticed peds far away dont have textures or is that only on my system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pimpinpenguin? Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Has anyone noticed peds far away dont have textures or is that only on my system? Yeah i get that also, it wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't so freaking obvious. The fact that consoles with less Ram and handle givie peds textures at longer distance and the PC with vast amounts more memory can't is a disgrace.

Mine have full textures even at long range but I don't see drivers in cars at more then 20feet.. plz Rockstar.. fix this f*cking bug, it's a huge gamebreaker!!!

TTKRickJames Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 Btw, on console you can shoot the police helicopters pilot, then chopper goes down... Now you can't because chopper pilot isn't there... Very irritating... I Shoot helicopter pilots all the time, I have only noticed this bug with people in boats(and the people are about 150 feet away or further when they vanish), I will check the cars though. Again, I can kill heli pilots with ease and do it often.

MMhardKy Posted December 21, 2008 Share Posted December 21, 2008 It's just ridiculous that no-one from R* support can post an answer in this thread... They are answering all sorts of minor questions, yet you don't get answer on the important ones. Same goes for all my question about broken SLI support.

johnlee Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Has anyone noticed peds far away dont have textures or is that only on my system? Yes know that you mention it I noticed they are "grayed" out almost like covered in a layer of thick gray paint! At first I thought this was just my game/settings/system or a graphics drivers/card incompatibility, but seems like others are experiencing this as well. Looks like peds 60meters or more away (outside of car) are "grayed" out and you can still seem them move, run, etc and you can still shoot them but they have NO COLOR! I don't remember this being so obvious on the 360 version... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nurdle Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Well I have been contacted by R* twice now about this issue. First time was about sending msinfo and dxinfo, the second time they had me install 3-4 different drivers and test as many in game options as I could to see if the problem persisted. Yes, the problem remained. Just waiting for another response now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need more people to contact them about this same issue otherwise they will just let it slide and never deal with it! How the Heck did this get pass quality control or beta testing? Didn't they try snipering passengers and drivers in cars from more than 30ft away???? This is not even DRM/Securom related so the developers don't have the excuse of not having time to test out the "final" version with DRM crap slapped on, this is a bug/hard-coded limitation from the game itself. I really hope this gets resolved eventually, if not then the PC version just got shafted with the "Future proof" BS ONCE more in the rear end.

Julias Caesar Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 How do they come to the idea that they want more system information from people having this issue. Everybody has it - they just need to run their PC-version of GTA IV - and voila - there they have it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
