Prettyy much sums up all the issues nicely. Otherwise, I'm still enjoying it.



Uh..22 GB? this game is only 13.9 GB...?

LuLz. Would be funny if people with issues had a far different build than I do.

14.2GB here using W7


Gotta love bikes, even though i do wish it was more realistic but still fun

smoke effect looks pretty good, but is it just me or does the game during the day look washed out?

So STEAM version is 300 MB larger. I am on Win8.1, and have uPlay-only version.

Sounds like maybe STEAM has miner in it? :eek:

Yours has more files, and less folders!!!!

Some thing else i have noticed to, i believe the game, well superfetch caches a lot of it as my memory cache jumped up to 10GB as it's normally around 3GB which all so makes me think that playing this game might be making even more issue's for people using HDD's.

So it windows might be caching it and paging it too and as seen as i have my game on one SSD and windows on another it's been a none issue...

Lots of little things that don't make sense in this game. Why have honking if no one pays attention to your horn? They sound fake anyway. Why have wardrobes if it's just the same outfit with different colors and patterns? Why show other styles of clothing on the store racks and shelves if you can't buy them? Why would a guy trying to conceal his identity even walk into a clothing store when he can anonymously buy stuff online?

I can come up with tons more, but the most appalling thing is the horrible performance and scaling. Especially the driving.

Also, the bit with others being able to hack into your game is not clearly defined. I was assuming I wouldn't even see anything like that playing sp, but it happened anyway, and the game never made it clear if it was an "online" character AI from the game world, or an actual online person. At any rate they definitely try and shove the Online Hacking mode in your face even in sp, with a forced segment early on dealing with it.

As it turns out, I found you can easily go into the Online part of the menu and disable "Online hacking", but this is something they definitely don't warn you about, so be advised if you don't want it, turn it off. Previously I even went to the extreme of disabling my LAN connection to make sure no one could hack into my game.

It's also very quirky how they structured Online Hacking mode. As others have said, they make you believe your sp game is deadlocked until you participate in this online hack duel intro mission, but as it turns out, you can just leave the mission then come back, and then the game reverts back to how it was before the hack invasion.

It's as if they rushed this Online hack mode and never decided how to implement it in sp. Either that or the tutorial for it is too vague to understand.

Huh, I only used a bit over 3GB @ 2560x1440 with maxed settings. Does AA use up much VRAM? Maybe I just haven't played it long enough.
AA has a huge impact on VRAM

I have the buffered frames set to "1" and don't use anything above FXAA. That's the nice thing about 1440p, just don't really need much, if any, AA. That and a few jaggies has never really ruined my life or gaming experience.
