Theodore93 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Fairly certain I've seen lightning since the patch. Edited October 21, 2013 by Waldie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lelouch The Zero Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 This is why I deleted all the patches and now it's back. The patches seemed to make my game slower anyways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter09 Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Ya sorry I meant lightning bolts. There's still thunder storms but you don't see the bolts any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOOCAKE4U Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 yeah, thats weird...discussed in this thread: http://gtaforums.com/topic/631591-gtav-updatepatch-removes-lightning-strike-effects/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hooves07 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Like most of you guys my game ran just fine without the patch...well the whole losing a car from a garage (only lost with Franklin) Michaels and Trevors vehicles never disappeared for me. So other than losing that and the new graphics driving into LS Customs... The LCN still doesn't work for me anyway, I don't know if they have attempted to fix that sh*t. Nothing I do in my SP game affects it. Certainly no effects from destroying FlyUS planes and Clucking Bell trailers are noticed in my LCN. Seriously...the F*CK happened to Rockstar? GTA V more like GTA SH*T Gnocchi Flip Flops 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lock n' Stock Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Don't know whenever this was intentional or not, but it would need putting back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rojovo74 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 My copy of the game is still un-patched game (will be for some time too), and I have yet to see a single bolt of lightning...what's the best direction (N,S,E,W...or does it vary) to get a good view of it? On a side note, the rain seems to last longer in V than it did in previous GTAs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ten-year-old made the most stunning pun I have ever heard. Good God... HAha...it was more about the question than my 10-year old like statement. I know insulting R* is like insulting your wife fanboy. Still R* has been up until GTA V a stand out, Stand up company with great large games. I want to know what happened between Red Dead and GTA V to make R* the new THQ. We get to look forward to small DLC pack's that will contain weapons, vehicles, maybe some new features. No big story DLC's is what execs reported. All the focus is on Multiplayer. While that's fine for some, a year ago if you had told me R* would sacrifice singleplayer for multiplayer I would have call you nuts. Hell, you can sell a car in LS Customs online, yet you can not in SP. I know that may SEEM small to some of you. Missions that could have easily been included in the SP were put online. It's a sh*t move for R* And it's ashame to see a company stoop down to the THQ level. (Remeber THQ took out the ninja suit in SR3 and sold it later as DLC) *cringe* F*ckem.

I'll have to check that out...it's a place to start lol. As a matter of fact, I've only seen it lightning once the whole timeI've been playing...there was this quick flash on-screen, but it resembled what might've been a flash of sheet lightning, but I couldn't tell 'cause it was apparently from the opposite direction I was facing at the time, so I didn't really see anything...just the landscape briefly lit up lol. There wasn't much to the thunder either...just sounded kinda like a low rumble, and it too was fairly brief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerosmithfan999 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 For the people who have the Atomic blimp, you can keep it when you unpatch. Simply unpatch the game before you start; then redownload the blimp from PSN/Xbox market place; Once you have done that, start up GTA V. Your game will now be unpatched. The blimp contact should now be in your phone. The lightning bolts will also return. If you are not fussed with playing online, this is the best method to use.

rojovo74 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Has anybody managed to get some good pics of the lightning similar to the official screenie that R* released awhile back? That one is simply bad-ass! I can take in-game pics, but I can't save them since I can't get my PS3 connected to the internet atm. Would be nice if we could save, and then export our pics to the XMB when playing SP (like we can with GT5). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
