The closing of interiors or the lack there of

[BlackMilk]

It might affect performance. It seems like since they closed of the police station, textures have loaded faster. Was driving over a lot of invisible streets before then.

That would be a valid reason if it indeed works that way. But in my non-enhanced version of the game I haven't noticed any change. Driving through empty streets on air and through/against yet invisible objects has happened since I started playing shortly after release and is still happening now. No real change in how long that takes either. If I'm not in a hurry (time limit, escaping from players, etc.) I'll get fed up and just park somewhere for about ten seconds before I can move on.

 

Meh! Meh, I say!

They load when you open the door and some details when you walk inside them, however I think most assets of the police station are always loaded.

 

To me it seems like they locked the police station because there weren't any NPCs inside them an maybe they didn't want it to feel lifeless.

 

Never though of it that way, actually makes a lot of sense.

Pacific Standard bank is open though and never has anyone inside.

The Pacific Bank does have people in it on Singleplayer though

What a load of sh*t.

No. There can never be a legit reason for sealing off interiors. And there was no money glitch that involved the police station. Edited July 12, 2015 by Shaundi.

the Police Station got closed for a very legit reason. Players on PC were apparently using the Police Station to do some money glitch, making it so Rockstar had no choice but to patch it. had those idiots just played the game without having to cheat then the Police Station would probably still be open.

see that irritates me. Just like how you and I need to wait to call our own PV for some timer because R* couldn't properly patch some glitch.

I'm on PC, I didn't glitch money with a police station or any other glitch R* left to exploit. If they can't fix the problem they damn well shouldn't just hinder all players just to irritate a handful (a giants hand) of cheating players.

The interiors that still exist could be used for many reasons but since some players cheat we can't even go in them? That doesn't make much sense to me, neither does waiting for my mechanic to diver a car that I own and pay him to deliver. Know what I mean?

So they should sit and do nothing to curb it while they try to fix it instead of stop things while they work on a fix? It's not their fault people are hellbent on breaking the game and the fixes aren't always simple and easy to implement...

precisely, if they can't fix their bug they shouldn't pester all their customers. It's not our fault either they didn't protect their product before release or even after. I don't support cheaters but back in the day it seemed devs loved feedback from players that found bugs / exploits so the devs could fix them. Now it seems the legit players are supposed to police the servers reporting the people that found game breaking bugs, so the devs can add scripts to punish the legit players and annoy the players that found / exploit the bug. I'm just a little confused how that helps fix the problems we continue to see, doesn't seem to be stopping any exloits so far.

 

That's a really sh*tty way to look at it and incredibly short sighted. You do it that way whenever you have control over an environment. Just let madness reign because you can't fix something quickly when you could do a bandage on it in the meantime.

 

You still use a tourniquet to stop the bleeding even if you can't get it taken care of immediately. Same exact thing in this situation. To think you shouldn't is just short sighted as f*ck.

Um, what? That's utterly ridiculous. It isn't like your game doesn't load the textures, they're still there, you just can't get inside because they've stuck a barrier on it.

 

Placebo effect on your part, I assure you.

 

OT: It's dumb as f*ck, but there's really no logical reasoning behind it as far as I can tell.

What was so special about the police station anyway? 2 or 3 floors, some desks and cops. Stupid to moan about something that was technically pointless to have except for the heist setup.

Someone didn't play GTAIV online it seems. The police station was one of the few places in GTA Online where one could of a massive 30+ minute shoutout and it was one of the very few defendable places on the map you could hide in when you had a bounty, plus it added to the game.

 

 

i used to use the burger king joints for defensable positions. and the hotel lobby near the big park was good.

 

no bounties in IV.
