Is this a glitch?

[cjr305]

Have coke business, buy 75k worth of supplies. When supply bar is empty, staff stays working. Payout on far sale a little over 100k for three of the four runs I did, solely purchasing supplies. The other one was worth north of 130k. I have only one upgrade for it (not staff or security, whatever the other one is). It also tells me I need more than one person to move the product when im ready to sell, regardless of how much I'm moving. On one of the times it was worth the lower amount, I did steal supplies, bringing value to over 140k, it did need two people for that. Of course upon starting i had a server issue and ended up solo, closed the application, and viola, only had the 100k amount left to move. Just curious if this is a problem or normal...

Sounds normal.

 

Some people had reported a few weeks or months back that their Coke supplies only netted them $84,000 instead of $112,000 (for the nearer location); I don't know if that's fixed or not.

Thanks. Any idea of the reason for the varied payouts? My near location payout is quite a bit less than that 112k; I'm only looking at 72k for it, at least for the majority of the sales.

 

Also, do you know if I close the business and reopen at a later date, will I retain the upgrade I have or will that be lost?

Upgrades for a Business that is eventually closed down either by the player or by the cops (from a raid) will retain their upgrades.

 

I can imagine that the reason you're getting $72k for one full bar of supplies is because of the lack of a staff upgrade - having said that - I think the staff upgrade will only take it to the $84k, which is still less than one full bar of supplies should be for the Coke Business ($112k).

 

I think if you're getting $84,000 for a full bar of supplies rather than $112,000 - then Rockstar Games f*cked you, as that's "that glitch" coming into effect. Or maybe I'm totally wrong and confusing my numbers and $84k is what it should be (but I don't think so).

Thanks again. Looks like I won't need to shut it down after all... again, only 72k value worth local sale so I did a steal mission and promptly got raided upon completion.

To rub salt in the wound, just had to source a vehicle, race checkpoint one, easily won, sitting in the yellow marker for a good 30 sec, then says mission fail. What the f*ck

Your supposed to walk up to the cars owner to trigger the win. He will then try to attack you,so just kill him and take the car (>.<)

[cjr305]

Never once have I needed to exit the vehicle to trigger the win. As soon as I drive into the yellow, prior to this instance, the timer goes away I get prompted to steal the car, at which point driver approaches me with the bat. Unlike the coke business, I have a fairly good handle on the I/e business. I had a few other issues similar to this last night.... just seemed odd. Maybe something to do with lowered MTU just enough to allow friends in? I know we can't run contact missions set up like that.

If other players were in the session, and all left, the mission fails and the car catches fire

That's not what happened. Ive had the spontaneous combustion before and understand why it happened. The issue was, after winning the race, it never prompted me to collect my prize and never stopped the timer, thereby rendering the car unstealable. The other issue I didn't mention was the cargo bob hook wouldn't catch. Playing in a somewhat private public, just with one friend. He had just started I/E that night, and it was the first time I had issues... coincidence?

[Mr Spanky]

Sometimes, when I use my cargobob, the hook can take an age to connect

 

Recently, when I have used my PV cargobob, after coming out of the office to the roof, the hook won't deploy

[cjr305]

Fortunately haven't had that happen yet... knock on wood... just failure to hook the vehicle. Using a Pegasus delivered cargo bob so maybe issue with being a PV?
