Do you think there will be launch problems?

So it's just a few hours left until the game is released. Most people forgot their anger and their frustration with the whole delay thing. Especially after Rockstar confirmed the date and preloads began, people - understandingly - are more hyped than ever.

Of course I am hyped, too, but when I was looking at the trailers again today I wondered: "So many people get so hyped and will play tomorrow, won't there be any problems (at least in Online)?"

 

Do you think the servers can handle the rush tomorrow? Do you think the game will be playable? (I know Rockstar delayed it to make it run smooth on day one, but one should always be sceptical)

Mr. Legoman

From my experience with the preload, i got a decent speed and downloaded without problems.

 

So i dont think so actually.

I hope Rockstar by now knows how much their game will have in effect, by viewing their preorders and just by that, knowing how many people have the game now and are ready to play. Hence how much server capacity they should have.

What they mean with run smooth is smooth gameplay like optimazation compared to crap gta 4

 

1 week i give it for gta online to be stable

Like Bumblebee said, delayed for optimisation and i'm sure online will be a mess the first week just like on old and new gen, even mmorpg can't handle the amount of players when a new expansion comes out (Just like WOW with WOD) but hopefully i'm wrong

I wont be surprised if there are issues with online servers. There will be growing pains in respect to those probably. There will be individual cases of problems ("Runs crap for me!" etc), but those are typically because people are dumb or have specific issues that can't be applied to all.

 

Of course, there will be some game bugs here and there and things like that, but hopeful for nothing widespread.

Yeah thats a possibility, best is to wait a few days or a week.

 

To avoid losing character just like the launch of the lastgen versions

Well, considering social club is showing me as not having an online character now, I'd say there's going to be some problems. Was working fine last night. Haven't tried to transfer from ps3 yet because I figured it'd be a bad idea in the first few days.

Not sure what's going on, but not real happy :/

I think there will be some problems trying to join a lobby, same as ps3/ps4 at the release.

 

Fingers crossed :D

Also no singleplayer progress?

 

You have selected the pc version

 

Somewhere in the right top of the screen you can change consoles

I will not at all be surprised if there are issues with the GTA Online servers. Every other major release including the initial last gen GTA Online launch, the current gen launch, and the heists launch all caused server problems, and the same will be true with PC.

I had no single player progress anyway because my ps3 hd went out on me a while back and my save didn't copy to the new HD for some reason, but...

 

Holy sh*t, pneumonia and percocet got me groggy -_- thanks dude, I was scared for a minute. Wonder how that happened?

I wouldn't be surprised if Online has a few issues but I would be if Single Player did, given the almost 4 month delay in release, they don't really have any excuse for that to be buggy, Online can always be a server issue that they don't forsee.

Oh yeah; there will be some Online server issues related to the PC launch for sure...how bad is anyone's guess, but I'm thinking 1-2 weeks of problems at least.

 

And undoubtedly some bug fix patches as well in the first few weeks...

I'm mostly worried about activation servers going down and causing massive problems, especially for the ones with the Steam version that will have to decrypt the files first (around 30-40 minutes job) before being finally able to install the game, so the ones with a Rockstar warehouse version won't have to do this and will clog up the activation servers well before we have any chance to try it.
