Find rare car (BOOM ) its everwhere !

[Chm0]

Very annoying... at least you can choose a color or get a unique paintjob from storyline missions

[Anabolic]

So what? Why is it such a problem that now the car spawns more frequently now that you have it? All of this comes off as some sort of elitism that you guys want to feel unique and it's not fair that you had to search for the car, and now it frequently spawns. It's not that bad.

This. I didn't mind having 20 Sultan RSs lying around when I finally got my first one in GTA IV. I'll most likely trash the one I'm driving so it's easy to steal a new one right next to the flaming carcass that used to be a Sultan RS.

[Killerdude]

It has nothing to do with limitations, It's the way the game was programmed, now can we stop saying it's due to limitations?

 

It's the code.

Not a bug, nor due to limitation.

[Trund]

I'm quite sure GTA 5 will have the same thing happening, due to the limitations of the hardware.

As well as these:

- Popups

- Cars disappearing when you turn around

- No cars visible from a higher altitude

 

But meh, I got used to them anyways, and they don't bother me at all anymore. It's just something I can't see being improved in this generation of games, and I care more about performance than having 1924943 different kinds of cars on the screen.

 

For next-gen however I think we can look forward to some huge improvements when it comes to that, as well as many other things. Just looking at games like Hitman Absolution etc. showcases how a next-gen GTA will look like, with hundreds of pedestrians and much more.

 

It'll just not happen this gen anymore, but if you don't care like me then that's not a big deal anyways.

 

EDIT:

@Killerdude8

Actually it is a limitation, what can you do with only 256MB of RAM and 256MB of VRAM? You can't store that many textures, etc. Even the "traffic" fix for PC Version of GTA4 destroys the performance due to that, even with high-end pc's.

It's R*'s Humor

LOL

[JoeM]

Who cares. It was great use in TLAD when you managed to get a Regina, I ended up with 2 at each car parking space.

 

If thats all you have to complain about, your just being picky.

[Tiglet]

I remember someone from Rockstar saying it's to save memory in the system. If you have to spawn 4 different cars or 20 it makes a huge difference. It's clearly not about coding as that would be an easy fix. On pc on the other hand they should be able to fix it imo.

[kudoboi]

there is a fix for this on PC. sadly you need a NASA PC or the game performance will just become bad. i could run IV at 60FPS but after applying the fix my FPS went to like 10 or 15

WTF !!!

 

this isn’t a Graphic improvement to lose that FPS

[AtomicPunk]

I don't know if it's intentional satire on R*'s part or not, but, any time you buy a new vehicle(in real life), you suddenly see them everywhere----you become aware of how many vehicles there are just like the one you bought. Before that, you just don't really notice them. Sometimes, I think that's what R* was going for, but in reality, it very well may be a coding paradox or hardware issue.

Actually, it technically is, it uses more vRam in order to create more textures for the different cars, when it's standard it recreates all the already existing textures.

 

Correct me if I'm wrong.

In a nutshell. If you have significantly more VRAM than required, you might be able to take that hit without loss of performance. But otherwise, something, somewhere got to give. This will result in more textures being shuffled between RAM and VRAM, which is basically the main bottleneck, and that will kill performance.

yeah.

 

been there for ages, since gta3 they can't fix it, I remember once they said it's easier for the game to calculate few car models for the area you're in and add 2 or 3 more including the one you drive because its very easy to spawn a car that is already spawned and driving and all.

 

case closed

[Sizeway]

f*ckin get an infurnus and everyone has one

 

copycats

[Pegerino]

THIS IS A BUG ,i had one of them cars that gay guy gives you once you help his mayor BF ,yeah and i drive it around boom same stuff happen

[tenpennyisplainevil]

I only noticed this in IV, if they use the same code as SA or other games I wouldn't mind. IV was really ridiculous, 70% of all cars was the same as yours and that's too damn much. 4 or 5 cars of roughly equal appearance would be awesome. IV was like 3, one being 70% of all.

[PutAQuarterIn]

I know the actual reason is because it runs better if it only loads a few types of vehicle at a time, but in a weird way it represents one of life's annoyances.

Right before you get a new car, you never see that certain model hardly anywhere until you get it. Then it's everywhere; same color and all. Granted it's not to the degree you see it happening in the game, (especially higher end cars) it's still kinda realistic.

[dagangsta]

it was good sometimes when i had an ugly infernus without the spoiler i wenyt down to bohan and found myself a perfect 1, but it was annoying when you couldn't find anything good, just esperantos and sabres. i wish it'll be gone from V

i dont agree. i had a volvo s60 and s60s and v70 were almost everywhere(but they were always around) and when i got my monetro (which was really rare) i never saw it as often as when i had my s60

[Mason GTA]

so everyone is saying its because of limitations, the game can only load a few car models at a time....

 

 

 

SO WHY NOT MAKE IT SO ONE OF THE CARS THAT CONSTANTLY APPEARS IS NOT THE ONE YOU ARE DRIVING????

 

Did seriously nobody think of that ?

 

This glitch or limitation is very annoying and not realistic. Especially when you work hard to get a rare car, it ruins it

like london everyone copies each other and buys stuff on finance.when you see a nice car in the third world People actually saved up for that!

thank you for your irrelevant opinion

[Massimo1997]

You are a jerk OP, this topic is very bare, and your posts are even worst, so please work on your posts a little bit more.

You are a jerk Massimo1997, this topic is very rare, and your posts are even worst, so please if you don’t like the topic, GTFO

I said it was bare, so are your posts, but Im staying here to read the comments, because as much as your topic lacks of effort, it says the truth, and no, my posts aren´t worst than yours, they are better, and at least I try to post with sence.

write with sense ??

 

you didn’t even talk about the topic Dumbass

Wow my comment pissed you off . No need to call me dumbass. If you can´t post and can´t reply to people properly, I beg you to leave, this forum is not a place for you.

Well what the Hell did you expect -- honestly?

 

I surely wouldn't be laughing my tits off if you'd called me a jerk.

Read his comments in other topics, and then you will see why I called him a jerk.

[stee_vo]

It's not realistic, but it's nice.

 

Let's say i want a rare care with a certain color, i just find that sort of car(can take ages) and then drive until i find the on want.

See my post a page or so back, but yeah, I agree.

No it isn’t

 

its bad believe me

[Killerdude]

People keep saying its bad, but they aren't saying WHAT is bad lol.

 

Give a goddamn reason if you're gonna hate.

 

 

 

 

 

BTW, this is NOT a glitch, there is no FIX for it, because it's NOT broken. A glitch/Broken thing would mean R* programmed it to do something and it does something else, they programmed the game to do this.(FOR A REASON TOO!)

[gunziness]

It happens a lot with the hakuchou custom, its unbelievable. It would be much better if only the regular hakuchou spawns..

[Exitiumx]

So, what would you like - about 4 - 5 of the same cars around you, or a game that crashes and lags?

 

.. yeah, thought so. I'd rather my game crash as well.. f*cking cars.
