Double check that spam/junkmail folder.

No nothing has come through

Activated, the mail is for this social club BS

Apparently you need to keep saying that it must be resent. I registered for the RGSC today already so that when my game arrives, I just put in a username and password without having to wait for any 1-hour-to-arrive email.

Have you installed that 30MB GFWL update yet? What happens when you start the game via the start menu? Does it ask to log into the social club account? What happens when you click on... skip login?

The Social Club servers are down in any case from what I have heard.

In any case, you need to log out of the Social Club for the game to start, error free.

lol!!! 2 hours install!!!

thats almost as long as a PS3 install

demmit killa, play it already and tell us if it is worth it!

 

[killadoob]

I played a bit last night, the install was not to hectic but that damn social networking BS is a nightmare, still have no email. Longest game install ever, atleast when it ran it did not have any problems though.

Played a bit and i dunno hey i am not that excited about it hey, graphics look very dated if you ask me, a little bit disappointed by that, game play looks almost identical to san andrea's.

Won't have time to play again until sunday so hopefully it does get better

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

barring the BS you PC chaps have to go through, it's a brilliant game once it gets going. I dunno what you mean about dated graphics Maybe it's just the PC version because they wanted "future PC's to get all the glory" (stupid if you ask me) .....

Meph i have seen this game on xbox and an hd lcd and it looked amazing. So shiny and nice but on pc its nothing like what i saw.

I think though my 9800gx2's 512 memory is killing the performance for me.

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Really hey? wow, that must suck after having seen it so shiny and nice already then It's unbelievable that it's looking and acting worse on PC ..... they've shot themselves in the foot methinks.

 

[d0b33]

Rockstar seemed to have crippled the game if the graphics are no better than an Xbox even on a 9800.

The engine is not optimized, I'm sure 'future hardware' is a lie to excuse their lazy port running crappy on capable hardware.

That is indeed the truth. What the problem is, is a memory leak. There is a fault somewhere in the code that does not allow the game to utilize the full capabilities of the PC on which it is running. That can be fixed with a patch and many game producers have fixed games with memory leaks. We'll just have to wait and see how long it takes for the patch to come.

The graphics was puke-worthy on the xbox 360 on 720P and the view distance was utter BS. PC ftw
