Mainline421 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Original title was "GTA Trilogy removed from sale" New title was set by forum moderators. Surprised not to see a thread about this, but after PC version was removed this morning, it appears as of about an hour ago R* have now actually removed the Trilogy from sale entirely in the UK. https://www.rockstargames.com/GTATrilogy Edited November 15, 2021 by Mainline421 WanteD1 and Earthbound 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoona Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It was actually removed many hours ago, same here in Poland. I requested a refund but knowing these sh*theads they won't refund me, because I may have played that bugged sh*t over 2 hours trying to fix the issue.

Mingo6 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 This is very likely due to the discoveries data miners made about the music tracks still in the files, among with other significant bits of code that Rockstar does not want people freely accessing. I have seen this discussion sprinkled around the forums, but I have yet to see a topic dedicated to this until now.

It might take a lot of time, days or maybe weeks. All this because R* left the remasters to be made by a small external studio, that probably aren't much experienced. They let the game files unencrypted wich caused the leaks.

Kirsty Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It's been down for over 24 hours now and there's only been two Support tweets. No indication of what the issue is or an ETA for when it'll be back up. Seems unprecedented for a launch period, so it must be bad. cuban gang member, SweetFlexZ, Originope and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spider-Vice Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I still think it's overkill to bring down all of the Launcher services if the issue is with the contents of the Trilogy. Just delist the Trilogy and say there's been an issue with the PC version or something. Both things are bad PR, but at least people could play the Online games.

wrightguy0 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) A few hours ago I could play all three games from my launcher (I hadn't closed it), now the launcher doesn't even list them in my library.

MathSouza Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 This is really frustrating, not gonna lie. Played for 2 hours yesterday, was enjoying the game then this happens.

Yeah that is the most frustrating part that we got to play it for a couple hours yesterday then got screwed whenever we closed the launcher after the servers went down. I was enjoying the games particularly GTA 3 I don't care about the hate online I just wanna play MathSouza 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gforce Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) This is why "Online only DRM in single player games" is the work of a complete and utter c*nt, the only thing this kind of DRM actually achieves is f*cking over the legitimate players who pay for their games. bring back disc swapping any day compared to this online only in single player games bullsh!t !! how f*cking hard can it actually be to generate offline tokens anyway ?, mix the players unique account ID with their unique PC hardware ID (with or without using the TPM) and it's job done, it's 2021 FFS!!! Doesn't actually affect me for my modded RDR2 and GTAV though, constant f*ck ups with updates drove me to seek alternative ways of launching the games, f*ck DRM !!! WANKERS !!!

They kind of lied too on their Support Twitter. Pretending it was a "Maintenance" and then after they said "we continue to work on restoring" 10 hours after. They thought it would be fixed within an hour or two, clearly not. I don't know what is going on there but it for sure doesn't sound good. We'll see. If we end up getting a patch once it's up and running, worth it I guess, lol UncleJoey 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGodDamnMaster Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) What I want to see is someone from the company come out and make a statement. None of these dry, robotic tweets from entry level employees directing people to their sh*tty support website. Not only do we not have access to the DE, we cannot play any of our single player Rockstar games. Because we have to to "authenticate" them. This is truly contemptible and speaks to the disgusting levels of pettiness this company has. Sam needs to put the bottle down, get out of the office and be the face of the company like he's supposed to be. There is virtually no direct communication with the community of players who made these people's careers. f*cking hell. No wonder Dan and Lazlow left.

rbix Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 (edited) Well, I bought the game yesterday and played it. I want to play it now, but I got an "Offline Mode: Could not stablish connection". I went to the R* store and got this message The hell?? (Nothing to do with my region... all there games are like that now) Edit: I played GTA 3 this evening and wanted to switch to San Andreas and it happend. Thought the issue from yesterday is gone. I guess only now it got to my region. Edited November 12, 2021 by rbix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given their work on the mobile ports and the 2013 SA remaster, you would think that GSG would have enough experience with the GTA trilogy to know better. But on the other hand, that 2013 remaster was ridiculously buggy and there are some new bugs present in the Definitive Edition as well, so....

StarJet905 Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 I don't think this is just about the Trilogy. They could easily disable just that and keep everything else up. My guess is something legitimately went wrong. After all, this is the first time ever that RGL had to handle a day 1 launch. But whatever it is, it's a lesson to not buy anything on RGL.
