Says its 41GB for me.

That looks correct, yes.
I really hope that all of those .rpf files will be extracted to make the plain directories we're familiar with from the RAGE engine. Having to unpack and repack every time we want to mod something would be an extra awkward step.
Alright, thanks. To be honest, I am actually surprised the download finished correctly, with me losing progress and getting errors repeatedly I expected worse.
I am 90 % sure those files will be unpacked in a more standard file system. Those .rpf are just there to make it easy to download and make sure pirates can't work on a crack before release.

Lock & Load is great, the playlist I was talking about isn't that style though, it's full of this kind of music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IeyPqo1t3jM

if you only listen to a handful of songs, GTAV's official soundtrack will get you out of that pretty quickly, the standard radio stations have some amazing selects
It should, those are just encrypted chunks.
sorry yes is around 30 or 35 the game and the 3 expansions reach 43 i checked in my Steam folder that is still around 70 GB not so far from GTA 5

That doesn't look right. That's not a map.

Really? Steam is reporting 42 GB, DLC included, before downloading it. Is it compressed more than 50% of its total size? Edit: Oh, It took me too much to write this reply... oops.
I agree with your fears, though. I hope that the authentication systems work and GTA V works at least in the singleplayer. I don't think GTA Online will work as intended for the first week or so... Then again, people are downloading 60 GB from Rockstar's servers, which I have to assume that it's a much higher traffic than simply having people connected to you game servers. Once the bulk of new players on PC have downloaded the game, the connection should improve dramatically.
Thanks! So would it be best to go ahead and create a RSN account?

What you're saying is perfectly valid, but .rpf isn't just a generic encrypted archive format either. It's Rockstar's own Rage Package Format, so it's possible that this is a new way of doing things as opposed to being encrypted. I guess we'll just have to see.

Thanks!
has there been any mention of input lag on the PC version? I played my friends PS4 copy for a few minutes today and it was pretty strange feeling. I even set the deadzone stuff to help.

Honestly I haven't played one since Vice City! I might have played GTAIV at a friends house for a few minutes, but I can't remember.
But it's not something I can't adjust to, just was curious if things like that are usually better on PC.

I was going to hold off on this one because a) I'd already waited this long (I refuse to double dip... this will be first run) and b) I was saving my Spring gaming budget for Witcher 3. Imagine my surprise when I went to buy Witcher 3 and found I'd had it for 5 months already. Pre-loading on Steam now at a positively blistering 7.7 MB/s. Is the word that my GTX 980 will chew this up at 60 fps at 1440p?
I'm sure it will with appropriate settings.

I'll go with the disc version for faster install. (and will re-buy it in steam sale a year later or something just to have it with my steam collection)

I got mine from the Nuuvem thing so that wasn't an option for me. Plus i've no disc drive as there's no slots for one in my case.
Saw this on Reddit where someone use the slowmo cheat to increase the speed of the PS4/XBO version to make gifs appear in 60 fps.

We should be a lot farther along though...
Haven't made any progress at all in the last 5 years or so.

Hype levels going critical.
Damn, that first video looks glorious. 28 more hours.
The last time I preordered on Steam was Bioshock Infinite, and I remember playing that really early, ~12:04 AM or so. Has something changed?

My god
im not using steam, my preload was done 100% from RSC GTA V installer. So im assuming i can just copy the folder it created to the Win 8 PC?

Not too far though, going by reports by some people using the Rockstar Social Club app to download GTA 5 it will take them 224days

60 gigabytes of data needs to be copied while being decrypted. Doing it at 50MB/s (completely random guess, could be slower) would take 20 minutes.
Yeah those are beautiful, it's really captivating. Jesus I'm hyped, haven't been this excited for GTA since I was waiting for my dad to bring home GTAIII back in middle school.
People who argue against 60fps are crazy.
Nah.
