Might have to get the PS3 version although I'd say it will be patched pronto....

Shíte, my xbox sounds like a jet engine trying to take off and the disc tray isn't sitting level or something, so it makes a horrible noise if you don't install it to the hard drive.

DeSelby83 · 16-09-2013 3:48pm

I think I'll take a few slow textures over my jet engine to be honest

So install disc 2 on a external memory stick?

listermint · 16-09-2013 3:58pm

Simple solutions to this folks put the Xbox in the next room, drill a few small holes through the wall for the TV cables and boom job done.

Instead of installing it, "Do not install 'play' disc on xbox 360".

That's what I want to know, like if I don't install the play disc what am I going to miss out on?

Yes. After the mandatory 8GB install, the second disc is optional to install.

I like to install my games because it makes the console quieter and slightly reduces load times. It will still run perfectly if not installed.

Grand, Rockstar have ****ed up here tbh and would really want to have an answer over the next couple of days as to what happens next.

So what's the optional second disc all about?

I'm sure it will be patchable by Rockstar.

Sorry. Both consoles have a mandatory 8GB install. PS3 comes with one disc while Xbox comes with two.

On Xbox, you need to install one of the discs and after, it will be no longer needed and you play with disc 2.

None of you lads have headphones no ??

Mister Jingles · 17-09-2013 10:56am

So installed the first disc last night, that took about 10-15 mins, it then told me to put the second one in, did that and left it for only a couple of minutes and then started the first mission, how ever I'm not sure if I installed the second disc because I'm not all that impressed by the graphics of the game.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 17-09-2013 12:04pm

What's this nonsense about 2 discs? are these prehistoric days?

I bought it an hour ago and I have only 1 disc, works fine.

Samsung LCD, connected up via hdmi. It's probably just me, i did set my expatiation a bit too high for this game.

.jacksparrow. · 17-09-2013 5:56pm

So is it recommended to install disc 2 on a usb key or just let the disc play as you are playing it?

zenno · 17-09-2013 6:06pm

I was up in the friends house having a look at this game and he installed both discs onto the xbox 360 HDD and i think it looks awesome, and the game-play is as smooth as gravy.

I played 3 missions and there are no problems with graphics in any shape or form, it works great. He is using the very first xbox 360 that was sold on the first day of release many years ago. The fan can be a little noisy but that's the only minor thing.

+1 not that impressed by the graphics or the way the cars handle in the game but the sheer size of the map and the content of the game is impressive Imo.

Have disc two installed on my corsair voyager gt 16gb, no issues runs smoother than off disc.
No texture issues whatsoever.

.jacksparrow. · 18-09-2013 6:32am

Tried installing the second disc onto a usb key, it gave me the option and all but when I clicked it the CD started going and the game started so I just went along with it!

But want to try get it downloaded today onto the key.

Make sure its a decent USB key, minimum read/write would be just scratching at the surface.

Thanks for the reply, it was a 16gb only bought it yesterday, just have to find a way to transfer onto it now because I have already started the game just using the disc.

How do I install disc 2 onto a usb key, I have already started playing the game but can't find the option?

.jacksparrow. · 18-09-2013 7:57pm

Anyone?

tipperaryboy · 19-09-2013 12:24pm

How do you uninstall disc 2 play without affecting progress? On Xbox went into system files but don't know which to delete part1,2,3 files listed. Please help Thanks!

Does the Xbox require any online download updates to use the game?

Mind didn't need any last night. I installed the game and started playing right away.

Thanks for that.

I updated the console a couple of weeks back but haven't had internet since then so just wanted to make sure in case I needed to bring the console somewhere to update.

I really appreciate the reply, I'm picking it up after work.

What type of speed should I be looking for? Is 5/10 sufficient?

downonthefarm · 25-09-2013 12:07am

would a 16gb flash be enough to install gtav.?or would i have to buy hard drive too?

Wolverine359 · 25-09-2013 12:12am

Is the second disc install actually that noticeable to anyone who tried it? I didn't install it at first, but after a day or two with the fan going wild, I decided to say feçk it and installed disc 2. It's nice to have a silent fan now and tbh I haven't noticed any obvious decline in the graphics, they still look absolutely gorgeous to my eyes. :pac:

It wasn't the fan making the noise, it was the disc;)

When playing from the hdd there is noticeable pop in from time to time. An example of this is the gate in Michael's house. Sometimes when leaving the house it appears to be open but as you get closer it suddenly appears and you end up crashing into it.

Oh yeah you're right, yeah I just think a nice quiet console is worth putting up with the odd graphical glitch, the noise is distracting because I'm so used to installing my games.

Indeed, I also chose to install it. The pop in that occurs isn't too bad Imo.
