Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

The "player kill" stat rewards on the social club...are those strictly kills against other players or do peds in free-roam count?

I think I have a gambling problem when it comes to this game

And this is exactly why I like going after the cars on that list (using google search on my phone) at my leisure while in the comfort of a set up private OS crew only free roam world.

No randoms to mess with you getting all the cars.


Myself, NCoffey, Cam, or 55 will always have one up if we're online. I'm sure other OSers as well no doubt.

I usually always have one up as well. And when Rockstar gets their servers back working right and everyone doesn't get dropped out of sessions it be even funner.

Felt like an ***. Had a sticky bomb and this guy landed his helo near me at the dirt bike track. I was about to sign off so I threw it on his ride and waited for him to go on his way. Blew him up and quickly had a bounty placed on my head for 3K. Not a bad way to end the night.

It was a crew member trying to give you a ride, and I will see you dead my friend

Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

So even if everyone's character didn't return, have there been more cases of lost characters? I haven't logged into GTA in a week and am waiting for some reports. I don't know if my character is back but I'm not going to start over until I know it's been solved.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

I haven't once encountered the character loss bug. What I do is sign into MP through SP and sign out back into SG before shutting the game off.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

How does one join crew members in a closed session? I see the option when first signing into online to join a Closed Crew session, but when I do I'm the only person in there.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

You have to be invited or invite others into the session.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

No, if you are in a closed crew session, anyone from the crew can just join in

Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

I never have any luck joining them then.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

I really, really wish that my issue with the online would be that I'd lose my character. At least you guys are able to play the game lol

This is partially true, but mainly correct.

I never have any luck joining them then.

The problem here might be that we/whoever aren't currently in our crew world when you're trying to join. We might be in a mission. Someone needs to actually be in the world and not in a mission for you to come in.

Also world's can be setup to be invite only I believe, so there's that.

I have never got into one either. Quickly losing interest in playing the game online because randoms suck.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

I've had good luck with getting OSers to join my room if I set up an Invite Only room. PS3, of course.

And it's actually handy to do too if you want to get a few ancillary things done without the threat of being killed. I set one up yesterday, I had some money so I had to take a few of my cars from my garage to LSC to put insurance on them. Knowing full well randoms are *******s and would explode my babies I set up an Invite Only room, invited nobody, and did my business with me being the only person in the room.

Re: Grand Theft Auto V Online

Not sure if this has been posted, but GTA released a patch last night to fix the character loss stuff.

Details:

A new title update to address the reported issues of game progress loss in GTA Online as well as other technical fixes, tweaks and enhancements is now available for PlayStation 3, and we expect it to be available by tomorrow at the latest for Xbox 360. This title update will resolve the cause of players losing their gameplay progress except for some specific instances where players purchase a vehicle and the save does not occur due to a cloud save failure. A fix for that particular issue is being worked on and we will provide an update as soon as we know when this will be resolved.

Fixes in this title update include:

- Fixes multiple issues causing character deletion or other loss of progress
- Fixes issues causing infinite loading, infinite sky cams, and missing interface options between jobs
- Fixes an issue causing the "replay" option to be locked out on certain jobs
- Fixes an issue where a player would become stuck in the mod garage when respraying a Sanchez motor bike
- Fixes an issue where the Player became stuck inside Los Santos Customs during Online tutorial flow.
- Fixes an issue causing the loss of guns and ammo
- Fixes issues causing GTA races ending early because of players spawning too far ahead
- Fixes issues in Last Team Standing where sessions would not progress past the lobby
- Fixes issues with network errors when joining Last Team Standing using Quick Job
- Added clarifications around when a player is using a temporary character in GTA Online during Rockstar Cloud server outages
- Adjusts the monetary penalty for being killed in a One on One match

We apologize for the problems some players have been experiencing with lost characters or game progress due to this issue – please stay tuned for updates as we continue to investigate this.

In the meantime, please always remember to save your game before leaving GTA Online, otherwise you may lose any progress since your last save – this can be done by exiting back to Single Player through the pause menu. Until downloading the title update above and in order to minimize the chances of any further data loss, if at any point you receive the message “Rockstar Cloud Servers are unavailable”, please do not either select the "Retry" option or create a temporary Character to play GTA Online. Instead, you should exit to GTAV Story Mode and try entering GTA Online again through the menu in Story Mode. Please also stay tuned or subscribe to the GTA Online Status Updates article at the Rockstar Support site for the latest word on common known technical issues and fixes.
