GTA V PC - April 14th

Simon201 · 10-04-2015 8:06pm

Yep was getting that myself. Had to keep pausing, resuming, restarting etc. It would go up to 28MB/sec at times then drop right down. I'd say it took a few hours in all to get the whole thing but should have taken half an hour at the most.

<--- three days; maxed out my line the whole time.

the_syco · 10-04-2015 11:15pm

Noticing there's an "uncut" version; any difference between it and the cut version?

The story so far...

I was at around 99% downloaded, but the installer said i needed to free up 350mb of space (i installed it on my SSD). I freed up around 5gb, and hit retry...and the downloader went back to around 40% with over 30gb to download again.

****ing awesome downloader.

Stingerbar · 11-04-2015 11:00am

I just "bought" a key at onelinekeystore... I don't seem to have received the key in my email yet

How does all this work? do I pre-download the game somewhere, then apply the key on the day itself or what?

wotzgoingon · 11-04-2015 12:27pm

I've lost a few Gigabytes a few time when the connection goes. Bull ****. I have a crap connection as well. My computer has not turned off since it first was available to download. I'm on 28.49GB It was above 30 a few times. I come back connection gone and back to where I started. I'm regretting not getting it on steam. I reckon on steam I would have it fully downloaded now even on my crap connection.

I almost feel bad that mine downloaded in a little over an hour

Yeah me too. Got great speed from rockstar

Shiminay · 11-04-2015 2:57pm

Wow, you're some of the lucky ones

60Gigs normally wouldn't be a bother to me, but good things come to those who wait and it's not like I can play it before Monday anyway. I just hope it's a case that they've prioritised game servers instead of FTP/Download servers.

Stingerbar · 11-04-2015 2:58pm

Lads

those who bought their keys from key sites..

Do they send you the key within 24 hours? or do they send it the day of the release?

Ordered my key 2 days ago, no key yet, no response from key site (onlinekeystore.com)

Shiminay · 11-04-2015 3:00pm

I got 2 keys (owed a friend a favour, he asked for a copy of the game). The first from Games Planet and the second from a Kinguin Seller. The Games Planet one was released on Tuesday and the Kinguin seller sent me mine yesterday. There's a chance you might have to wait till Monday, can't say for certain as I'm not familiar with the retailer you mentioned.

ScumLord · 11-04-2015 5:19pm

I got the key through g2play, activated the game on rockstars site and got the setup tool but I get a microsoft visual C++ runtime error. Abnormal program termination.

Shiminay · 11-04-2015 5:36pm

Try grabbing the setup file again so I suppose?

ScumLord · 11-04-2015 5:53pm

I've tried downloading it three times. A search just leads to a similar issue with GTA SA and mods, I've tried removing temp files, I ran CCleaner but that crashes during the registry clean.

Kiith · 11-04-2015 5:54pm

Boot up in safe mode and run ccleaner?

The site I used promised free delivery, but took a week.

Shiminay · 11-04-2015 5:56pm

ouch

Problem is it could be one of a hundred different things causing it

At a guess, a Microsoft Visual C++ redistributable thing is missing.

^^Hope that does not happen me. I'm on 32.29GB now and speed is gone to shít even on my slow connection.

Headshot · 11-04-2015 7:15pm

thank **** for steam lol

Well you still have over 48 hours, I'm sure it will be fine

Edit: Just seen time remaining...

Shiminay · 11-04-2015 7:42pm

It's down to "only" 16 hours now. Rockstar support on Twitter asked me to submit a ticket. It may or may not get an answer, who knows. I'm just going to resign myself to it not being ready to play on Monday and that's disappointing, but it's also just the way things are.

Looks like the download is timing out. Possibly try rebooting your router (although may not work if you have a static IP address), and flushing & registering the DNS on your PC? On... "things" that I get off the interwebs, it sometimes helps if it's not downloading correctly.

Many people are on 1/2 Mbit dsl. How crap is your internet?

Shiminay · 12-04-2015 1:00am

Fingers crossed it works now

Kiith · 12-04-2015 10:44am

The Rockstar installer is absolute ****. I restarted it again yesterday, and it got to 21gb downloaded before giving a timed out error. And it's nothing to do with my network. Clicked resume when i got up this morning, and it's working away again, but apparently i'll have to keep an eye on it all day so it doesn't crap out again.

Wish i'd paid the extra few euro for a Steam key now.

Spear · 12-04-2015 11:41am

Anyone know how the Rockstar installer works? Is it just using huge HTTP downloads as it sounds like?

Doesn't seem to be, as you can pause it, close the program, and come back and resume from where it was. It's downloading fine for me so far thankfully.

HTTP can do that with 206 range requests. Anyone got logs from it?

I done that a and it lost a few GB's. If only I was allowed to use Jdownloader it never loses anything the same as steam.

Duggy747 · 12-04-2015 2:29pm

Took the plunge for pre-order and luckily got the right time, steady 28MB/s download speed which had it ready in about 35 minutes.

ScumLord · 12-04-2015 2:39pm

My PC completely calved, had to do a clean install of windows, it was on the cards for a while anyway.

Download speed is between 2mb (24 hours to download at start) but drops to 40kbs if I leave it running for a long time.

Mr. CooL ICE · 12-04-2015 3:13pm

Girlfriend gone on two weeks holidays as of this morning. Should have the single player campaign finished before she's back.

Already have the game pre-loaded but this is really nice packaging all the same.

Kiith · 12-04-2015 6:18pm

Downloaded now and ready to go. I seriously doubt there's any chance of actually playing the online version for the next few days though. Rockstar suck at these things.

wotzgoingon · 13-04-2015 10:43am

Anybody here know how I can move my GTA V Rockstar location. I moved it into a new location and than ran the executable file and it just starts re-downloading in the original location.

Are that many people really gonna buy this compared to the console version.

You under estimate the power of amount of PC gamers out there, especially those who love to mod games to add something to it like they modded Skyrim to have the Dragons look like Macho Man

My PC can just barely run it and I would love to get it but I would definately need a new, more powerful than my current, PC to give it any justice.

dreamers75 · 13-04-2015 12:09pm

I would guess nearly 2 million will buy it.

Kiith · 13-04-2015 12:22pm

It won't be as bad as the console launch (as that's probably not possible), but i doubt most people will be able to login without issues tonight. I hope i'm wrong, but we'll see.

This'll probably be the game that makes me upgrade some of my hardware

Duggy747 · 13-04-2015 12:52pm

My fear....

Max Mafioso · 13-04-2015 1:02pm

Going by past experience with Rockstar and their PC releases, its not gonna be easy!
I would give it 2 weeks before everything is sorted, maybe more.
I dont think they really care about PC gamers

Mr. CooL ICE · 13-04-2015 1:04pm

Probably a stupid question. I'm on Steam and my SSD is short on space. Is having ~75GB free enough, or do I need the 65GB for download and more for installation?

Kiith · 13-04-2015 1:26pm

I had around 67gb free, and it failed somewhere around 95%. Had to redownload 30gb after i clicked resume, so i just cancelled it and installed it on the regulard drive, just in case.
