Bugger vehicles - New technology

[Magnet_man16]

As many of you console players may remember that the biggest vehicle in GTA IV (Tugboat) made the game lag terribly in multi-player.

 

 

So, the next question is, what technological enhancements have enabled rockstar to have much larger moving objects without lag. Because unless none of the planes are available in multi-player then something has changed.

 

Imagine having two players in planes in GTA IV. That would be like 4 Tugboats causing 4x the lag. I saw this as either they where unsure with how to do large objects or it happened to be a bug.

 

 

What do you guys think?

I think you should shrink the images.

I never had a problem with tug boats as long as you werent smashing them into eachother over an over. I had 5 tug boats at once many times cruising around with no problems. Ps3 btw..

I don't know. I hope they've overcome that problem, because I want to pilot a huge luxury yacht in the game

Only really when you made contact with the map. Like ran the Tug down the side of the bank.

The only problem with those boats was when you were spawning them with mods... If you didn't over spawned them, it didn't do anything.

Crashing the Tugboat into a staircase causes massive amounts of lag. If theres a douche in the game, I do that to lag them out. Other than that lag, Ive never had a lag problem with the Tugboat.

[ill-thoughts]

if theres 30 players moving around on current gen hardware, trust and believe that SOMETHING is going to be removed for the purpose of your console not blowing up.

[Sgt. Foley]

I actually used to do that to make players lag out

Bugger vehicles? This a typo?

Vehicles that cause bugs I think

I was under the impression that I was entering a topic about doing the nasty with vehicles.

 

Needless to say, I'm very disappointed.

I think you should get a bigger screen.

They're certainly not very big now, but the OP may have met that request before we got here.

I'm on a phone & I don't find any images too large. People who quote posts along with the images that's the problem. How hard is it to change to in the quote.

 

Anyway, I'm interested in how these huge vehicles will handle & how much more realistic/difficult they'll be to control. Just imagine what the Andromeda will look like flying low over the Los Santos streets.

Its not a matter of new technology. Its just that GTA IV's netcode wasn't the best bundled along with the innate slow performance of the game itself it caused problems. Judging by what Rockstar has said so far they're already finding out ways how to utilize both consoles specifications so the game can run better.
