GTA V PC - April 14th

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.

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 01:02PM

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 01:04PM

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 01:26PM

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.

Kiith · 13-04-2015 01:51PM

I only just realised that my PS3 character will transfer over. Pretty sweet, as i already have a nice apartment and some decent cars from the cash bonus Rockstar gave after their ****ty launch. That on top of the pre-order bonus should set me up for a while

Is that on R* site?

Game is 59gb in Depotcache folder in steam, dunno what it will expand to but I removed Mordor so have plenty of space

The character transfer? Apparently it happens automatically when you activate the game in your Rockstar social club. My PS3 character shows up, so hopefully everything transfers across (though i didn't have a huge amount, so no bother if it doesn't).

Need a working PC for tomorrow, so gonna hold off wipe and reinstall Windows until maybe Wednesday. From the sounds of it, the wait may not affect it that much, but hope it won't be the fiasco that IV was!

Where can you see your current character? I had it on the xbox 360, hadn't really played it at all, but I defititely did. I'm wondering if I would have got the 500k or whatever they gave away after the bad launch.

Kiith · 13-04-2015 03:11PM

When i activated my game on the Rockstar Social Club, it showed my characters progression from what i remember. I can't check now as i'm in work though.

Calvin · 13-04-2015 03:27PM

Can anyone tell me how can I transfer it from steam on my laptop to my PC? Reason being, my apartment has 60mb download compared to home which has only 20mb (and my PC). Thanks in advance

Shiminay · 13-04-2015 03:57PM

Open your ....\Program Files (86)\Steam\Steamapps\common and it's probably in there.

Found it, thanks... I never got any bonus when people did ages ago, must have had to log on to get it

dreamers75 · 13-04-2015 04:08PM

If it transfers then is the SP stuff completed?

Should be an option to restart.

Kiith · 13-04-2015 04:16PM

I think there was an option to restart the campaign in the original console version, so i'd assume that's there as well.

Anyone actually planning on playing Online tonight? I know it probably won't work, but i'll be on for a few hours if it does. Hopefully it actually lets us in, or at the very least, let's us into the single player game.

wotzgoingon · 13-04-2015 04:47PM

So who is brave enough to start the "Who's online PC Edition" thread?

Kiith · 13-04-2015 05:46PM

Ah balls...i changed my Social Club username and now i've lost all my characters progression. I really hope it's just the site needs to update, as i'll be kind of annoyed if i've lost my character.

I'm an idiot. I was looking at the PC progression, rather than the PS3 progression.

Duggy747 · 13-04-2015 06:50PM

Ooooh baby!

wotzgoingon · 13-04-2015 06:54PM

^^I seen that on facebook. Pretty cool.

ScumLord · 13-04-2015 07:55PM

To sleep or not to sleep, that is the question. I think if I start playing this tonight the chances of turning it off after an hour and going to bed are slim. The chances of me making the sensible decision of waiting until tomorrow after work is probably slimmer.

Headshot · 13-04-2015 07:57PM

ill be playing tonight

I havent been this excited for a game for quite awhile

marcbrophy · 13-04-2015 08:02PM

Just got a notification on my pc about updated Nvidia drivers for GTA V.

Just on time for the game, fair play to them.

Thinking I might try buy a retail copy tomorrow, but the 7 discs is kinda putting me off

Could be worse, could have been 46,200 floppies.
