I've found your character only shows up in the wheel if you've already been on GTA: online in that session

Earlier you character was just a silhouette on your social club profile. It's showing up now though

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I went into GTA:O just then and it took me to the character creation screen. I restarted the game and my character was back. Almost went crazy...

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Please be aware that characters at present are going missing permanently. I'm afraid to log in if this persists.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I'm not even going to risk it. I keep seeing posts from people saying their characters have vanished.

Well done, Rockstar, well done...

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I've still got my character, whilst that is cold comfort to most there are warning messages all over GTA:O stating that if you can't log into GTA:O then go back to the Story mission and try again. Under no circumstances press retry or create a new character.

Also when you want to leave GTA:O make sure you exit back to the story mission as this will save your online progress.
Last time I was on there it timed out shortly after I bought my first garage, on the Social Club it is still showing me as skint, so I am hoping that everything has saved as it should.

Survived my first bounty last night for the achievment, I just spent an hour in the strip club :D

Surprisingly, the strippers kept their tops on and there were no bouncers so you could touch as long as you liked :/
I got Nikki's number added to my phone :D

Ha! stimulus package

Rockstar will give GTA Online players half a million in-game dollars to make up for the game's troubled launch.

That's pretty cool for those who have held off playing online too much in case their character disappears so this will provide a much needed bit of catch-up.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Cool, now everyone will be able to get that swanky $400,000 apartment

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Don't get the $400k appartment. Save yourself $9,000 and get apt 40 - Eclipse Towers. It has a much better view......

Apart from having to create 4 - 5 characters before I was able to progress through the tutorials I have been unaffected by the cloud servers and all the online problems.

However $500k is most welcome seeing as I am struggling to make any money.
I've got about $30k in the bank and the $31k 2 car garage, and still rocking my Futo, which annoyingly wasn't the car that I got the free Simeon mods for.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

TBH, I would go for an apartment that costs about 200k and then buy a car, bike and some weapons.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

I'm lucky if I grind $35,000 a session , currently sitting on ~$138,000 and a $36,000 garage.
Robbing stores, selling cars and doing a few missions and grabbing one or two of those cars Simeon wants when you're in free roam

It's the tools who all they want to do is shoot anyone else they see, and/or camp out LS Customs to gun anyone down that cost me money in medical bills :mad:

About to post a test capture, I've been having problems with GTA V and 1080 being choppy as hell so about to do a 720 record.

This is what came out, mission is 'Where credit's due' from Simeon, quick and simple way of completing it. Annoyed I'm only seeing an option of 480p when I uploaded a 720p file over 800mb in size. I'm going to sort out my editing software later and see if I can get this right.

Edit: 720p appeared. I really want to get it to 1080 though but Rockstar may have to patch the game for that. Is it choppy for anyone else at 1080?

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

It can take awhile for 720p to become available. Give it a few hours and you should see it as an option.

EDIT; I've just looked and I can pick 720p.

re: GTA V (360, PS3, Xbox One, PS4, PC)
 

Managed to have a bigger session on it, and I can pick up similar amounts of cash, I find that selling one of the higher spec cars for ~$9000 every other game day is really helpful for grinding cash.

The tools that lurk around sniping you is really annoying. I try and stay out of their way, but if they are threatening then I'll shoot first as a deterrent, and then get the hell out of that area.

Vids looking good, also I never thought about the stealth route for those missions. Also I am loving the old school gangster look. That is a good look.

Another Trevor classic:

Just cut to him and he's shouting to some busker in Vinewood "I don't want your tips, I just want you to shut the ... up!" then grabs his guitar and bashes him over the head with it.

:LOL:
