GTA V: PC Version

[futurefields]

Probably similar to GTA4. Im sure there will be a range of quality options that make it either more or less demanding than GTA4. Engine overall felt more optimized on 360 and unlike other open world games, although GTA will often chug there is rarely any stutter/hitching.

I'd really like to get this on PC but I'd like to know the requirements for it. The modding community will have a blast with this game.

here is the video that compares PS3/360 and PS4/PC/Xbone version of the trailer.

I just hope it not just a lazy pc port with shitload of glitches and stability issues.

 

[futurefields]

the wait for this is gonna suck

 

[Whitestar127]

One of, not the.

I still have it lying in plastic next to my PS3.
Guess I will have to try it.

 

[Bman123]

If they do this game the same as gta4 I'm gonna be pissed.

Might be a good idea to wait a few weeks to see if the PC version needs a patch like GTA IV did. After they patched it, it ran great. I'm confident they can get it working seeing as how they're releasing it simultaneously on two PC-esque architectures in the next-gen consoles.

 

[Bman123]

I'm not buying it right away. I learned my lesson last time. I've been waiting to build a new rig for GTA 5 and fallout whenever that's gonna release who knows

 

[futurefields]

Imma preorder it.

 

[futurefields]

Once it arrives on Steam.

 

[cmdrdredd]

I preordered it only because I want to play it without the frame rate issues and lod issues.

 

[futurefields]

Did you preorder through Rockstar then? What about Steam compatibility?

Once Steam gets it on their page it should integrate any copy you have into Steam for play.

Not released yet The game isn't out either so don't worry, you have some time before they release the requirements for what you'll need.

Either way, wait for the GPU reviews to see how the game runs on different hardware.

I still can't run GTA 4 properly on my currently rigged. texture won't load, choppy frame rate and the game telling me I dont have enough VRAM/

Are you referring to this issue? https://support.rockstargames.com/h...owing-video-cards-with-over-2GB-as-under-spec

I had to both insert "-availablevidmem 50.0" after the shortcut path and in a file commandline.txt in the game folder. That worked for me.

But how does it run? I tried that fix and the game is still unplayable. Stutter, texture and polygons missing from scene.

I got my game from Gamefly direct DL

 

[futurefields]

I run it fine on my rig. I play it at 1080p with max detail settings, and I lock the framerate @ 36fps, it almost never dips.

GTA 5 PC Confirmed for this fall: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DBrG2YjqQA&feature=youtu.be

I signed a petition on Change.org to make this happen! LOL IT WORKED!

They were likely just waiting to get PS4 and Xbone versions to get up and running first to give the game a nice wide berth of platforms to "release" on. They likely knew that PC gamers would be pissed if they got a ported version of the 360 release instead of a full on upgrade conducive with what the Xbone and PS4 will get. But that's what texture and graphics mods are for ^_^

 

[futurefields]

Do you guys think GTA5 on pc will support mods, and how would that work with Online?

I dont use mods and would prefer they be locked out of the Online portion for obvious reasons.

 

[smackababy]

Same as every other game really, online is going to be filled with cheaters!

Have they even announced what DRM they are using?

 

[futurefields]

Well how does Bliz keep cheats out of WoW and Diablo etc...

They make everything happen server side and then relay it to a dummy client. But, even with that, there are always cheats. Diablo 2 was filled with them, because Blizzard didn't think to validate funky packets sent to their servers. Rockstar hasn't had a long history of battling cheaters like Blizz.

If anything is client side, simply using a memory editor (trainer) will give you cheats. And even if they do most things server side, certain stuff will still be available for cheaters (DX Injections to always show everyone, for example).
