The all-purpose GTAV Online thread

[King Ellis]

The servers are so shit that I'm unable to edit the logo! It just returns error messages every time I try!

Why don't you complain to Myke? He has the power to change it! You all clamour for power but he has it and does nothing!

[Meacon Keaton]

Typical awful Ellis. Always pointing the finger at someone else.

Saw on Kotaku:

For those who can't get the first tutorial race to start (it hangs at launching or searching for players on Xbox or PS3):

- Delete the title update from your hard drive.

- After launching the game and redownloading the update, let the game launch into single player.

- From the menu, select the online tab to switch to online and delete the character you created. Yeah, this sucks, but at least you haven't invested anything into him/her yet.

- Create a new character and start GTA Online.

I'll be trying this tonight, but since I have the evening free, I expect it not to work.

[King Ellis]

I'm trying that as we speak! Damn intro movie...

EDIT: Nope! Usual 'launching session', blue ring garbage.

Don't worry Maxx, we will get on together!

We're currently working on a title update for both PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 to address commonly reported issues with GTA Online. We hope to have it out for download as soon as tomorrow. http://rsg.ms/1dWHhLK

Thank fuck.

[Ruki]

If it doesn't work tonight I'll just hold off until Monday.

[Gazz]

It seems worse tonight. I'm often in a city by myself and some jobs fail as soon as they start.

My wonderful purple car has disappeared too.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Now I'm scared, because I got on and played for 3 or 4 hours last night, ranked up to rank 9, and had 25,000 in my bank account. I'm scared that next time I get on it'll all be gone.

Also, is it me or is passive mode broken? I turned it on for a taxi ride after some fella(tor) killed me while I was trying to take a taxi to my personal vehicle (an orange EWBuffalo), and then the same dude killed me again while I was in passive mode on my second attempt. >_<

[9 to 5]

It is all broken.

[Crybaby Bunting]

Passive mode only works on foot, in a car it turns itself off.

It's basically to stop people turning passive mode on and then running people over.

[MalaCloudy Black]

I got pulled out of my taxi and killed on foot, though. You'd think at that point it would automatically turn passive mode off or something, but I still couldn't select any weapons and had to just stand there and let this guy kill me.

[Meacon Keaton]

What happened to being able to only playing with your friends, if that's what you wanted?

I haven't got in yet, but I sure as hell don't want to get in and get paired with a bunch of strangers.

[thatblindgeye]

I don't know how you would go about creating a private free roam session or anything, but when I've been on with Larz, Midget, Myke and a couple others we did some jobs that only involved us.

[MalaCloudy Black]

You can go to the "online" section of the pause menu and invite people to a closed game, I believe

[King Ellis]

Under the Online section of the single player pause menu, there are options to create friend only and crew only rooms. Same place as the Solo session option.

[Monkey D. Lars]

When I was hosting sessions today I quickly turned open to closed.

[thatblindgeye]

I look forward to the day where I feel comfortable being a dick to you guys in Online instead of being quiet and playing fair

[Maxx]

Okay so to everyone who had their game waiting for a bit before you finally got into the race, what screen where you waiting at?
