GtaFanatik Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 You know guys, that PS3 Digital version of the game had a lot of bugs (and still unfixed). These bugs are related with bad loading city LODS, missing parts of the map or popping out buildings, cars, objects and trees. Some say that they belong to a bad downloaded file, or slow HDD. The real thing is that the bug is still present and there's no fix right now for that (just guessing, but a friend of mine have a Super Slim PS3 with a 160gb HDD and a digital copy of the game and it's bugged too). My question is: does the PS4 could have these problems? Another question would be if anyone knows why these bugs are present in PS3 (since I can't found any confirmation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drill Sergeant Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Every game has bugs, but I don't think that problem will carry over to the PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticularAlloy Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 (edited) PS4 and PS3 are nothing at all alike. There will be zero issues with how the game plays. Edited November 12, 2014 by ArticularAlloy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is: does the PS4 could have these problems? Another question would be if anyone knows why these bugs are present in PS3 (since I can't found any confirmation) This conversation was held yesterday in one of the threads. A couple of people mentioned that it was the HDD in the PS3 even the 500GB one. And someone said that the PS4 has the same HDD and everything. Meaning there is a possibility of it happening but since I'm no technology expert I have no idea. But even with the physical copy the game installs itself to the HDD on the PS4 and will run just as a digital copy does the disc reads loads up and no longer spins in the machine so I'm assuming it won't be any different this time around.

Spider-Vice Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 There will be a day one patch to address remaining issues. I think the PS4 version will be mostly clear.

theworldfamous Posted November 12, 2014 Share Posted November 12, 2014 Those 'bugs' were because last gen V designed to stream in data from both the disc and HDD. That's why the mandatory install for the disc version on Xbox. Installing both discs to HDD there has the same effect. If the system needs to get all the data from one source instead of two, it gets bottlenecked. It's not a bug, it's just the system not able to draw in the data quick enough. Or rather rockstar using a dirty trick to get some extra horsepower out of the ol'boxes. They just shouldn't have released it as digital because it's a broken product.

I ordered a new hard drive and it should arrive tomorrow at some point. I went with a 1TB, 5400rpm because the 7200rpm was double the money and was only 750GB. But the one i purchased is a Solid State Hybrid....so that should make a bit of a speed difference right? what digital ps3 bugs? none of those things happen on mine Is your PS3 running a stock Hard Drive?

It won't be like that. ps3 is like this generation xbox one. If anything, it's going to be like crap on xbone not ps4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fwenshy Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) Ive asked this a few times and had no answer. I had terrible terrible pop ins....like whole bridges or buildings and you couldn't drive fast in cars or the whole map would dissappear.my ps3 was 250gig with over 200gig free space and all other games ran fine...this was my only digital game on it. This is my only worry about downloading digital again because I bet it's a bitch trying to get your money back.

S1N0D3UTSCHT3K Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 i'm not sure why it would be worse when read speeds from the HD should be faster than the disc... that's why some guys like MGS4 or GT5 have installs so if anything, this sort of problem would exist on retail discs, not digital downloads... (if it did exist at all which it shouldn't and doesn't AFAIK because otherwise it would have been a huge controversy a year ago) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raynos Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Did your game take ages to load aswell? Boot up times etc? A friend of mine had a very similar issue on Borderlands and Battlefield, when he upgraded his HDD the problem mysteriously disappeared. The culprit was most probably a dying HDD, so worry not buddy, if you're getting the hybrid, I would rest easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gdog Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 (edited) ps4 isn't the same as PS3 with ps3 the disc version streamed data off the disc. the digital streamed off the hd. with ps4, all games must be fully installed on the hd, so IF there is an issue with the digital version then it will also affect the disc version. all you need the disc for now is to actually play the game. think of both version as "digital" versions. they are installed on the HD. with the true digital version the license allowing you to play the game is stored on the console so you can just press and start playing. the disc version requires you to insert the disc to access the game on the HD. think of the disc as your license to play the game. again. if there is any issues it will affect BOTH versions.

Ricioz Posted November 13, 2014 Share Posted November 13, 2014 Those aren't really bugs, it's the console that couldn't keep up and they had to make big compromises. LoD and pop ins should be much less of an issue on PS4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I recall that the x360 digital version had that pop in too, and that it was indeed fixed. Not sure how. It would actually be quite interesting to see if and how digital and physical version use the machines... Royally late though, with ps4 version around the corner. I'm real happy that cvg answered my question and basically confirmed that pop up is indeed very rare on ps4. Finally, that's like the longest standing issue with GTA!
