I have the PS3 Slim 500gb bought this year. The console makes loud noise all the time while playing and its heating a lot ! And the fps is dropping almost all the time. Mostly in crowded areas etc. Its a little bit better off the city and in the night time but still very annoying lag! I hope Rockstar will make something to get this better.. :/

I have this issue also, and it really does look ugly.

When the game is still, it looks stunning! But as soon as I start driving or turning the camera quickly, it lags real bad.

I also get really bad texture pop ins.

I am playing on xbox 360, only installed the mandatory disc as well.

Considering buying a usb and installing the play disc to it to see if that will work.

I'm in the same exact boat you're in.

Got a response from Rockstar. What they advise me to do is the following:

 

1) Get latest PS3 software update

2) Delete game data

3) Restore file system (or smth like that)

4) Rebuild database

5) Make sure you're connected to the Internet for possible game updates.

 

Did everything but I don't see an improvement in FPS. Step 5 kinda makes me believe a patch is on its way. Dunno. I'll try to go to a game store with my copy and ask if I can play there to see if I get the same frame drops.

Ofc it wont get better. After all I red here its the games fault and nit your TV or console. You cant get magicly 2-3 fps more when the consoles cant handle certain things. Like the shadows in GTA5.

We can only hope for a patch.

 

Everyone here has the same framerate. Some notice it more than others. I guess most people play with hardlock or aim assist so they dont really care or notice a drop or the lag.

Im playing with free aim and the lag is killing the fun in shootout. But its not the amount of enemies, its the location which lets the frames drop. I had situations with 4-5 stars, 2 choppers a lot of cars and officers on ground and the lag was still ok to aim right.

On other locations you can aim worse even when there is no AI on screen. Imo the framerate on some parts of the countryside is worse than in the city which is really weird and can only mean that there is some lack of polishing/optimization to some parts. Especially as the vegetation and foliage looks way worse then in RDR and RDR ran smooth for the most part.

Its bad but I dont know if one can blame R* as this game has a huge scale.

I was having major lag issues on my ps3 with this game, so I tried rebuilding the database and restoring file system on my ps3, then deleting the gta v installation and then re-installing it. And it has completely fixed the problem and I am getting a smooth 25-30 fps now.

Just google how to do it, it easy very and only takes minutes, and doesn't delete your data.

In what order did you do it exactly? I tried doing it according to Rockstar's support. First restore file system and then rebuild.

hmmm I don't know what else then. I definatly have seen an improvement. I was getting like 15 fps on this highway in the country, and now it is about 25 fps. If it hasn't helped you then sadly all you can do is wait for a possible patch :/

Playing on 360 250GB Slim. Had freezing/pop-in/vanishing roads/blurry textures/low FPS etc. This has so far fixed all issues:

Posted this in another thread, too.

I've just got off chat with Xbox Support. They advised me this is not an hardware issue and that they have received "a lot complaints about this game" They told me to do this and it worked for me:

1. Delete all GTAV game data.
2. Clear system cache three times.
3. Delete marketplace data from storage system items.
4. Unplug console for three minutes.
5. Install disc 1.
6. Power off, do not insert disc 2.
7. Restart.
8. Install disc 2.
9. Play.

If issues persist repeat steps 1-7 then play from disc 2.

_____________

Haven't had to repeat the process yet (nearly two hours of gameplay so far without a hiccup). Hope that helps some of you.

I installed both to internal HDD, 250GB Slim with about 100GB free space. Been playing for around four hours now with no issues.

Unfortunately, this didn't do anything for me. I did it twice and it had no effect.

I'm at around five hours now with no issues. Contact Xbox Support, they told me they have one more thing to try after the above but I didn't stick around to see what it was. It's also worth reporting it just so they can note how many people are having these problems.

I just got done talking to a woman on Xbox Support. She basically gave me the same instructions you did and then told me there was nothing else she could do and recommended I contact Rockstar Support.

Hi

New here and ran into the Storage Device Issue on Xbox 360

Just a quick heads up on how i resolved it

I had followed the advice not to install the play disk and the game still crashed

Cleared Cached often and still crashed

Installed about 7 times and still crashed,

Formatted HD and still crashed with storage device issue

I swapped the game and havent had issues

 

Apparently the issue is caused by the inner ring of the game being damaged or dirty

Take your disk you hold it up to the light and see how ugly the middle clear part is
If you are having this issue it will not look terrible but you should notice some "damage" or things on it
Compare this to a disk not having issues and that part is totally clear

 

Note

I am not an expert on the disk middle thing, its something i heard and i noticed after checking myself

 

Havent had issues since swapping for a new disk

Its an error a few are running into, Go take disk back and enjoy the game

Did all your savefiles stay or did they get deleted?
