New update

[soundism]

Ive blown up a few cars by ramming into them at high speed in my insurgent, even in a dubsta 6x6 once.

Yep. Me too. Dubsta 6x6, Sandking, Phantom, and Fire Truck. I've blown cars up by smashing into them with all of these.

 

 

 

I don't lie, and I'm certainly not a half-wit

Everyone that joins a heist is able to invite their friends and crew to said heist, even if they aren't host. I was in a different lobby as a guy I joined and was able to invite everyone from my lobby too.

 

Seems to me like this was the focus of the update.

This isn't new. It's just an option the host can set for any job

I did not know this. There were more options when I hosted my own as well though. Before this patch I didn't have the option for 'matchmaking - open/closed' and there was one more at the bottom that dealed with 'client invites' or something, that I hadn't seen before.

Weird. It was already there on x1. What console are you on?

 

 

The reason all our characters are changing is because r* next update will have a gym. This way we will all use the gym to get our characters back to normal

Why is Michael thinking its a good idea to parachute through the world?

Just got an update on my Xbox1 that was 294mb big, still not understanding all of these random updates for various people. Can anyone explain why updates are dropping on different days for people and are different sizes? And I don't mean xbox1 vs PS4 or xbox1 vs xbox360...I understand those differences.

I just discovered that if you steal a car and finish the mission in it, you'll stay in it after the mission - even though your PV is out and still active. That last bit I believe is new. Then you can keep it or sell it if it's not a "mission-car".

It is actually new'ish. A patch some time ago gave us that option (client invite), but then they removed it a couple of patches back for whatever reason, and now it's back again. They probably didn't intend to remove it.

Not sure if this has been mentioned (I don't feel like reading all the posts), but car selling prices have gone back up it seems. Just sold a Jackal I found for 45k. I only put 10k in mods into it.

 

Edit: Nevermind, I see they adjusted the prices for the SUV chrome wheels so that's why.

Almost impossible to play heist missions here on ps3. Most of the time is the host leaving the lobby, and when a mission finally starts,someone gets disconnected.

That's always worked since forever (being able to continue on with the car you ended the mission in) but the ability to sell or keep non mission placed cars was only fixed on about 1.17. They banned selling mission cars (and any car you brought out) in about patch 1.11?. Before that you could keep and sell everything.

 

Yes.i.did. It's right there. Crash and BOOM.

 

 

No you didn't because you obviously had a sticky bomb attached to the front of yours and detonated it just like I did in this video.

 

 

 

 

I pushed a cop car into a wall and exploded it in my insurgent just before. This has always been possible with a heavy car. Dusbta 6x6 could do it easily. Even a sandking and huntley couple probably pull it off. There's nothing new about that.

Just a thought in case you are not doing the following...

Gather 4 people together, invite them to an Invite only session 1st and then set up heists from their... Matchmaking is so much better now and you all spawn together, very much quicker and if there is a disconnect, its easy to get that person back...

Still a ball ache and we have the same problem on NG..... Time spent in clouds out weighs actual heist gameplay........

IKR? Before the update, half of the time I'd switch to one of the 3 protagonists from online, they'd fall through the Earth and parachute until they landed in the proper spot for the cutscene to start.

 

The other day, I switched from online to Franklin and he spawned in an endless pit (or what I thought was endless) until his parachute spawned. I opened it, but it was too late, Franklin hit an invisible floor and was wasted...before the cutscene could even start.

[terabaapkabaap]

lol the only change i noticed was that i was again able to invite other players in a job hosted by someone else..

No, that is not true. If you wanted to stay in the car you ended the mission in you had to destroy your own active PV before the mission ended. If you didn't you would end up in your PV instead, but there was a small chance that the other car would be somewhere close to you. I know it for a fact because i like to collect cars and I have tried it many times.

 

Yesterday I sold two non-mission cars that I ended the mission in.

 

I am on PS4.

I was playing with randoms. I hope when I play with friends I don't have these issues.

Happens 50% of the time when Rockstar grabs me by the ass and chucks me back into SP because I timed out.

Lol. He's in Scotland. No chance I'm travelling through there ill probably catch something like being poor or heroin addiction

 

 

Is that meant to insult me 'cos it didn't.

 

Don't knock being poor and having a heroin addiction until you've tried it.

Did they fix the matchmaking? Because I just hosted a vehicle death match (one of my daily objectives) and within 10 seconds I had a full lobby.

[BadCorey]

Got the 294 mb update this morning at about 11:00 AM CST, and at first I THOUGHT it had fixed all the matchmaking problems. I mostly do races, and I tried quick joining 4 races in a row that worked quickly and without problem. Then, starting from about 11:30 till about now (almost 4:00pm), I've been constantly trying to join quick races only to come down out of the clouds stuck in the ground unable to move in the middle of a gang attack near the train yard. There is no character on screen, and only the map and the pause menu work. The "Quick Job" and "Play Job" options are also grayed out and my only choice is to leave GTA Online. The weird thing is when I'm coming down from the clouds, I'm coming down near a house down the street from the LS Customs in the middle of the city, while the gang attack I get stuck in is about a half mile away.

 

FOUR HOURS STRAIGHT and not a single successful join to a race. This is absolute bullsh*t.

[KM964]

Since nobody answered...does the face glitch still occur? I've been scared to go on there the past few days. If it helps, I never go into public lobbies, just invite only and closed crew.

You guys should ram a train with your Insurgent. See who wins

[Death Anghell]

I did the update on my Xbone version an hour ago and every heist I try to join fails. I also keep getting put in lobbies by myself. The update screwed everything up. It ran fine a few days ago.

Probably more people had that daily objective, matchmaking still sucks.

Nope. 10 minutes on the counter one time, and every time it would join either everyone would disconnect or I'd lose XBL connection.
