Things you didn't know about GTAO until now

In contact missions amount of players and props is reduced, so it won't hit as bad as it could, but I don't think that rain affects performance enough to justify cutting it out. It's beyond me while it's rare.

Yea, I don't get it either.

 

I play in Director Mode with max traffic, night time and rain all the time & I yet to encounter any performance issues.

Like I mentioned before, I caused havoc in a lobby once while having the halloween weather glitch (even the kill feed was glitched) and I had no issues besides a slight framedrop here and there which happens anyways.

 

and the lobby was full.

 

I took a picture of my Hunter while having the glitch on, both day and night time with that glitch look amazing

 

And while we are at it, if you load up a parachuting job and clicked left on dpad a few times until the weather bar is empty (invisible setting) you can get the halloween/xmas(from DM) and another weather during the Parachuting job, unfortunately I couldn't glitch any of them into freeroam.

@Maddened_Ghost Daymn! Looks like a Sand storm!

 

Thanks for the Parachuting tip, I'll try it out tonight!

it really does, I'm upset I didn't take enough pictures when the glitch was available, it used to be the first thing I do when I load the game up, the game looked fantastic. it was very bright during the day and it looked like a sandstorm during the afternoon and you get the greenish halloween weather during the night.

Look at the bright side (no pun intended), you got to experience it & enjoy it

Parachuting has halloween, snow and weird bright Mad Max weather available currently. The snow isn't on the ground though.

 

And yeah xbox and when it thundered at night for me (my control) performance was fine. Still not sure what others in the session saw though.

The thing is that only NPCs are causing stutter while eating CPU and memory bandwidth like there's nae tomorrow. GPU-wise, V will run equally good in 1080p on GTX 980 and 1080 Ti. As far as I'm informed, memory bandwidth performance on Xbox One X is quite fast, so even here it should be relatively fine. And graphics-wise, GTA V is not hungry at all, my GPU sits at 30-40% on 1080p with 60 fps lock, going tae 50s without lock. Single player perfectly handles Redux mod where this beauty* is possible without experiencing any kind of stutter. So I don't really get why rain is semi-disabled, maybe fae 360 era builds that were never properly edited.

 

 

Thing I've learned: raindrops animation will play even under the roof, for example at gas stations.

Is there anyway to glitch them? I've tried the old patched Inferno method from 2017 but I couldn't bring them to freeroam.

Haven't seen that before.

He wasn't in passive, as far as I could tell. Just a good landing I guess.

Anyone knowing why NPCs inside lifeinvader building can flinch your character? What makes them do that, unlike any other NPC in the game?

[TheFireFlash]

Just saw this while driving my RC Bandito in free roam.




Is this some kind of free roam activity mission because i don't recall seeing it before?

That's likely the Doomsday Heist - Stromberg prep. A specific player is tasked to find 4 of these vehicles.

(Although not the Elegy Retro.)

Correct! Elegy Retro is a dummy vehicle during that prep.

Npcs can still call you, even when you're glitched out and can't pull up your phone.

What do you mean with "flinch"? Far as I know you weren't even supposed to get in there unless it's on specific occasions.

 

Got a video of it?

Avon Hertz just clarified to me how haircuts work in this game.

 

It's a natural system of hair replacement...

Gotta love how the suckers driving those trucks use the same character models as the suckers that spawn in to shoot you when doing Import/Export in a solo lobby.

[Piro]

I know there are hostile npcsthat you always lock on to (like the guard from FZ or redneck in Sandy Shores) but can someone explain this? She wasn't a mugger and she wasn't guarding the shop. I robbed it just to be sure




Glitch? or something I don't know about?

On rare ocassions outside stores, there are NPC's that become hostile and attack you in an attempt to kill you when you rob a store (kinda like a good citizen sort if thing). Seeing as they are programmed to go into Offensive Mode, that's why they become targets.

 

The only thing I can't explain is why clothes store clerks can also be targets.

calling the cops when being chased in I/E really offer some fun police pursuits as the cops go after the enemy NPCs for you.

I never knew you could call the cops, are they a phone contact?

Yeah but you only get one car and they get wiped out pretty fast.

Bring up the phone, press umm blue? or something to get the digits, dial 911, they get added under Emergency Services. You can summon fire trucks and ambos too.

Wow, after all this time I never knew this. You learn something new about this game everyday, or at least I do. I'll have to do a I/E and try it out.

[TheDoombringer]

Found out you can kill the prisoners in the Prison bus MC mission

[Verstappen]

You can still get cops during Fortified if you fly over/go into a restricted area.

true but what I like most about it is that the cops slow them down a bit as well. And when you get too far ahead, often times a cop will spawn sirens blazing and intercept the next wave of enemies as they drive by you. Cool stuff.
