TomNeckermann Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 (edited) Welcome, Please post underneath the changes you would like to include for the multiplayer. I have been playing online for quite a while and have constated a large amount of glitches and annoying problems. Everytime I want to play online, I waste 5 to 10 minutes trying to just get online. This is because there is kind of a long loading time, which is considerable; but above all, every match you find only has a few players which are never "ready", and constantly leave and rejoin. Sometimes you end up in a random match half-way through, or you need to wait and spectate a busy match. I suggest Rockstar groups the online players together; what I mean is, instead of many different hosted games, they group them together to play with many more people at once, and that it is easier to find a match and begin it straight away. And now the glitch part. I have noticed an incredible amount of glitches while playing online; players racing and all of a sudden they go infront of everyone, and sometimes I drive with many on the high-way, and when I crash into the edge, me and other cars go through the floor and under the map and everything gets messed up. Here I suggest Rockstar continues working on glitches (most of all multiplayer), and upgrade their servers for an "anti-lag" multiplayer mode. I will send this message to Rockstar, and so I ask you to post what you would like them to improve; which I will include in the message. (Maybe I should post this by "Technical Issues", but not many people go there anyway, and this is more "general")>probably half of this makes no sense'!. Anyway, Please post.

Urbanoutlaw Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) The biggest glitch I've seen online is the lagging, players jumping all over the place in deathmatches & not taking damage (as in a shotgun blast in the face from 5 feet w/ AUTO AIM on). The other side of this one is I had one match where nobody could see me & I couldn't affect other players, even w/ the RPG. Spawn distance also needs work, players respawn right next to each other. I was in one match on Charge Island where some poor so-&-so kept spawning right in front of me (he really should've let me out of the water when I kept spawning on the edge of a dock & falling in when I took a step). The next thing that needs fixed is the physics of Niko moving around on foot. Compared to CJ or Tommy Niko has all the grace of a cinder block, can't seem to turn sharply while running & limps on stairs like he's drunk & has a head injury. I'm getting sick of the crybabies arguing when they want a match set up their way, & when they don't get it you start hearing "BOOT THE HOST, BOOT THE HOST!" The host should be able to arbitrarily boot players on their own & have immunity to being booted. I'm into boats & helis but so far most of the races end up as appeasement to crybabies who want to race (GTA's version of) Lambos & Hummers. To date I've had 2 heli races & 1 boat race. On that note, being able to select vehicle specific races should be added to race options (like all PMP 600 or all Futo). Someone wanted all Faggios & that sounded like fun but some dildo started w/ "BOOT THE HOST!" Edited May 21, 2008 by Urbanoutlaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mpilk901 Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 I wish you could ask to join friend's matches and the option to view what friends are playing GTA without having to start a match and going to friends on your phone. As for the spawning, that really depends on what the host chooses for spawn distance so I don't have a problem with that. I'm loving GTA online at the moment and its great to play with your friends.

Urbanoutlaw Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 The problem w/ spawn distance is that it happens irregardless of the selected distance. I think it's a glitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Dbl-Gee Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I cant stand it when people lag... I shoot for 5 seconds before they even reach me, still they dont loose a single bar of health and then kill me in like less then 1 second! Or when i run somebody over with my car they magically appear not under my car but on the side while shooting me and that pisses me off. They should fix this laggin.

Urbanoutlaw Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 I watched one guy drive off a bridge in Broker & suddenly show up halfway across it. Lagging should be the FIRST thing R* addresses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
