Are you an unfortunate poor peasant like me who only has an outdated base PS4 but wants enjoy the brand new Cayo Perico races this week while you can still grab a world record for yourself, but unstable framerates are royally f*cking you over?

 

Just play the races at night time! You will have roughly the same framerates of driving in the countryside on a crowded session.

 

...I wish I was joking, I'm amazed to see how this game still hasn't bricked my console yet.

And people still say the new version is "the same" as the last version.

 

 

Even the PS5 version can't maintain a stable 60fps in Cayo Perico.

 

Most PCs can't.

And these people are demanding new more realistic graphics, more dynamic objects, more details, and more depth of view.

from the title of the post it seemed to me the right place to ask, I would like to understand that I am with the ps4 co gta 5 of course. but I still do not understand, this thing about gta online completely separate from the single player, in the sense I know that it is a separate thing but I think I have explained myself, because I have not yet understood it well ps I use google translate

It's a little difficult for me to get the whole point you are making here but the way it works now is that there are two versions of GTAOnline on PS5, a standalone and a version that comes with GTAV, that version is exclusive to PS5 and is the one with 60fps/RT.

 

The PS4 version (can be played on PS5 due to BC) is the one that comes with GTAV, I don't think there's a standalone version of that one.

 

Also, this is more for The General Chat topic:

The Vapid Benson (from the Yohan supply runs), can be carried by the cargobob. However, it's too heavy for flight... but it drags pretty good.

you understood me very well and what I wanted to understand. perhaps I have dwelt, a little too much to explain.

Isn't the Benson almost as fast as the Cargobob?

Simeon would be better burning his test cars each time.

I’ve learned that you can lose your Wanted level by going to your yacht. 

Lately I’ve evaded 4 stars at the end of Casino Preps by flying to my yacht, and standing/walking on the top deck, in the covered area near the bridge door. Not entering the interior, just hanging in this area. 
 

 

The police Mavericks will fly to your yacht, hovering directly above you. The first times, I was sweating watching the radar, seeing the cops’ vision cones on my icon. I was ready to bolt to my helicopter until I realized they couldn’t see me. 
 

Maybe it’s a fluke, but it’s been my go-to area to wait out wanted levels when I can’t call Lester or don’t feel like hiding in the Mile High Club middle floors.

Call any contact that can send contact mission invite (i.e. Simeon) and ask for job to get the invite. (You need to do it before starting preps). Once you need to ditch wanted level. simply accept that invite and leave after loading to the mission lobby. Voila, no more wanted level and you respawn at the same spot you were. Btw for some preps you need to rejoin that mission twice for stars to go away. And the same invite can be reused many times as long as you stay in the same session.

Didn't know you can get stuck under the stairs at the Arcade. I spawned in and started running to the office safe. The screen went black as I approached the steps. (I got out by starting a race with my phone)

Yeah they've added some awkward mechanics to spawning in properties. Some people who have spawn point set to penthouse can get completely soft locked without workarounds. Afaik it was a fix related to getting stuck sitting on furniture after heists, but they made it worse. As usual.

Per gtacars.net: Benson top speed is 89.75. Cargobob top speed is 99.5.

[dennis89]

But the progress I am making on ps4 for gta online and the character, how will the situation be for gta 6? Will it be separated without loss of progress and the online character?

Great tip. I'll keep it in mind as an option. Terrorbyte is my go to method when Lester is unavailable.

Sorry (it's the translator's fault) GTA online when there is GTA 6, will I have the same progress and vehicles on gta online as I have now? obviously the map will change, but the character and the progress and vehicles of the online will disappear?

No one knows. R* hasn't announced any information.

[ambi3nt]

They haven't announced, but you can trust their greed. They are sitting there and masterminding the sh*t out of new possible ways to milk more money in gtao2. And transfers don't go along with that for sure.

It used to be the fastest commercial vehicle before the MOC Cabs.

Thank you for this! I never would have tried this, out of fear of losing my Prep progress.

I love using the Service vehicles to escape the police, but I get confused on the consistency of when we can access our Terrorbyte, MOC, or Avenger hold within missions and prep work.

Often I use my Avenger for Auto Shop Contract preps to steal equipment and to lose stars. But then other Prep missions seemingly made my TB/Avenger Hold inaccessible (maybe I’d parked them in obstructed areas).

 

When all else fails, I’d hop in my Volatol and fly into upper orbit for a while.

No one knows but I think the logical answer is that GTA 6 will most likely have it's own new version of GTA Online that's completely separate from GTA 5 Online so everyone will have to start over again from the beginning.

Only need to be at skyscraper height and watch the minimap for spawning police helicopters. Sometimes I'll hover behind a tall building so it keeps me out of line of sight from that direction.

 

I always forget about masks to drop a wanted level in this game. If you're wanted and you put on a mask in a vehicle you will lose one star. This is important if you're at three stars and are in a helicopter, because you'll drop to two stars and the police helicopters won't spawn.

If you could tip him $575 in one go, I'd do it. But there's no way I'm standing there and pressing a button nearly 600 times.
