Why do they switch lanes like that?

 

 

They're outright programmed to do that. I've seen someone say this was added back during the I/O update to reduce your delivery payments, but dunno if it was always a thing. You just need to assume that every car is going to crash into you

Its always been a thing even on PS3. I have had the game since launch for the ps3 and since then gone to ps4 and PC. Even back on ps3 cars would do this. Me and my friends would race a lot and I was constantly having NPC just out of no where turn into me or just stop in front of me and do dumb sh*t for no reason. Its always been a thing it just more prevalent now with all the stuff you have to do with delivering stuff and trying not to damage vehicles and everything

Maybe they kept the snow this long, because they know Orthodox Christians celebrate Christmas today.

 

If they did then Pavel would have a tree.

Great....at least I finally got my 201 contracts done, I love doing the gang terminations though, but the fact that this issue is able to crop up gives me nightmares. I typically fly through the area to make sure the red circle comes up before doing the shootifying of the entire area, which so far has prevented it. It's how I worked around the issue the first time it cropped up.

Yeah, the Sparrow usually makes it a breeze, especially when it's any location but the rail yard at El Burro Heights. In fact, I completed numerous of them since they became double on Thursday and not once did I encounter the bug, which led me to believe that they fixed it; that is until, of course, I encountered the bug last night at the Sawmill. I was so disappointed. I just don't understand why things in this game don't get fixed.

There is the problem. That's like the only one that seems to ever get that glitch as well. I know which fu*kwit it is that goes missing too, the one near the mill wall facing the town, in that little downstairs area with the two parked dirt bikes. He's the one that seems to just ninja vanish if you do things before the red circle comes up.

I'll try waiting until the circle shows up before unleashing havoc, then.

I just encountered a god mode sh*thead a moment ago riding a seemingly indestructible Death Bike. I was in my STX driving around with a bounty on my head. I knew something was up when this certified f*cker rode through 3-4 of my sticky bomb explosions like it was a car wash, with ZERO damage. I crash, he gets off his god mode Death Bike, and kills me. Even the final sticky bomb to his face whilst he was on foot didn't do anything to him. This is one of the main reasons why I try to avoid public sessions. It's these lowest of the lowest degenerate scum of the gaming community that ruin the experience for everyone else who play legitimately.

Public sessions have sucked a lot lately. Just a bunch of GM and the like.

I can't wait for snow to finally end. They overdid it with 3 weeks, should've been in the game either from 24th-1st at the most or only during christmas and new year's eve. Can't be immersive when pedestrians aren't wearing winter clothing because they couldn't bother to add some winter outfits for the npcs for years. Not to mention that pool of blood is white, same as snow texture, they just don't care to make it right, do a little bit of work that would go a long way for players immersion ffs, even if they activate snow for some short amount of time every year.

[Arrows to Athens]

Man, they really need to patch the use of thermal in vehicles, especially in aircraft like jets. It's ridiculously OP and game-breaking. 

[DrEeveell]

Argh, flingin' flangin' moron civilians.

Trying to do a Nightclub sale the one with 3 drops where Merryweather guys keep constantly attacking. With the Pounder had the 2nd drop off up in the Vinewood Hills where the streets are barely wider than the Pounder, and Merryweather guys are spawning both ahead and behind at the same time. Shoot them all, blow up the jeeps, moron civilians keep screaming down the street at full speed and slamming into the pileup trying to push through, from both ahead and behind. Shoot them, drive the cars out of the way, more MW jeeps, more moron civilians, using the Up&Atomizer to try to open a path. it's snowy so there's no damn traction for the truck to just push on through, although you'd think the snow would have melted from all the burning jeeps. We spent 10 or 15 of the 20 minutes stuck in the damn street trying to get out. The MW guys must have spawned 8 or 9 times just there alone.

Finally had to just find a new session with only 1:30 left on the time.

I'm impressed you didn't kill yourself with the exploding jeeps. That's how my Nightclub sales end when they go poorly. Explode a jeep too close to me and the secondary explosion kills my delivery vehicle. Those delivery vehicles need the armor "upgrades" to actually provide some protection. They also need some liveries to look like a normal delivery truck so I actually feel like I'm trying to blend in.

[Yoona]

I still can't believe that Nintendo Switch never got a GTA V port, just look at these sales...

I am a bit shocked about the fact you now can get your warehouse raided while not being CEO/MC/VIP and while being in passive mode. Was hunting down all LD Organics packages and out of nothing i got the call that my warehouse got raided and i have just lost half of the crates.

 

As far as i was able to find info about that change you are not able to switch into passive mode while getting "stealth" raided. I wonder if you can switch out of passive while getting raided and you somehow are able to notice that you are being raided.

 

One of the next QoL changes could be raid notifications while not being CEO/MC/VIP. In my opinion that feature should be turned off while it is not fully working in a reasonable manner and till it is fixed.

 

Nope half the time I'm raided I'm out doing other things like sales, cargo pickups etc. 

 

Of the 6 times I know I've been raided, 3 I was in passive, 2 I was informed after the fact while doing work and only once I was notified during the raid because I just happen to be in the same area.

*sigh* randumbs keep driving past the swat van in pac standard and dying over and over.

I know there isn't a "golden era" where every og heist was perfect but I don't remember it being this bad. All the people I've added over the years don't play anymore either

I experienced this at the weekend, the same guy died six damn times on the road out of Ls

When I typed in the text chat “let’s just take the noose truck” the text back “it’s too slow”

 

I assume by this he meant he is incapable of making the objective in the time available, because six restarts aren’t time consuming are they?

[Sentinel Driver]

I had Write Off bug out so badly that an enemy Valkyrie spawned out of map bounds. Couldn't get to it without the engine in my vehicle dying.

What a f*cking game huh?

Top Tip for anyone wanting to boost their Nightclub Popularity... when you enter your Nightclub, enable passive mode (and immediately disable it again, if you wish, as long as you're able to have the game spawn in the NPC you're dealing with before you've returned to active mode). 
Being in passive mode prevents the game from giving you the "drive VIP home" mission, meaning you'll only get the "throw guest out" mission. 

 

By the way, I'm not sure what's worse in your screenshot - the lack of properly loaded-in textures, the game still thinking you're in the interior underneath LSIA or the idea you've gotta drive the guy home at a snail pace!

Thanks for the pro tip!

Though I dont mind driving the drunkard home to be honest, its a pretty chill job and keeps me busy while my companies gain their passive income.

 

And yeah well... I pick option D - All of the above (i cri evrytiem)

When is Rockstar gonna do something about NPCs whose assault rifles/machine guns have an abnormally high rate of fire that's more like a minigun? It's very difficult to avoid getting killed when that happens, and it's not fun and not realistic.

[Arrows to Athens]

Why is hitting a jet with explosive rounds so hard compared to regular rounds? I can get hits on a jet easily with extended ammo, for example, but if I use explosive rounds, I have to almost shoot in front of the jet in order to land a hit, like there's a delay or something. It seems like explosive rounds travel slower in the air or something? I can't quite put my finger on it. Like, even though I hit the jet dead on, it does no damage to it, as if it missed or went through the jet. It's so weird and frustrating. It makes taking out jets much more difficult than it needs to be.

You can also just go to the basement and change dj’s for 10k each.  No cut scenes.

Pegasus STILL calls me to tell me that they couldn't spawn my Hydra even though it's right there in front of my eyes. This game, man...
