Someone missed the joke...

no need to insult them

Would have likely got it if it was a steam key.
It's bad enough having your game library split across steam and origin, I don't want to start having some elsewhere too.

dam it, i hitted like in-sted ov ingoar

​sorted.. They sent it a few hours after I opened a ticket yesterday morning :smiley:

Replied to the original ticket to complain about why it took so long to send out the missing key.

Had to chase them up a 2nd time but got my code for the $500,000 now, apparently having an issue with sending these codes out automatically to some people.

Couldn't resist any longer. Heated and bought!

Very odd, I just made the purchase using Paypal, they send me two confirmations for the purchase of the game with 2 separate CD keys? but only 1 PayPal receipt.

One was for £20~, the other says £5.99 PROMO. But both give a different CD key. Is one for the 500k?

​got an email saying i will in the next 24hrs but havent yet.. So I'll raisena ticket

Thanks

Thanks for the info. I didn't get the 500K bonus so raised a support ticket and got sent a code for it.

To confirm, if you bought the Great White Shark version you should have got cash bonus of 1.75M. If not then raise a ticket.

I have started a new deal for this version as 22% code is now working making it £24.33.

Just incase anyone else was having issues,
Search for a 3DMgame torrent, its a retail torrent without cracks or patches, copy the files over to your install location and launch, only a 500mb patch to download then and is bearable.
Might only be me with these issues I don't know but hopefully this will help someone.
Worth a try if your download speed is slow also, was able to achieve up to 2mbps download speeds (which for broadband is alright!)
Online works fine and connection is excellent too, just seems to be the installer random people are having issues with.

Just got an email, i bought the great white shark bundle and i'm getting the extra 500k with my 1250k, so in total 1750000 cash in game ^_^

Was very tempted by this + 2% tcb but ... in the end i went with ebays flash sale GTA V steam gift, £37.99 + 20% off flash sale saved £7.60 + 1% tcb so pretty much paid £30.29 and have the bonus of being able to verify game intergrity so i don't have to constantly re download the game and will get my steam achievements too xD

​ok thanks.. I'll go with the white shark :smiley:

Do you get 500k from the base game or just 1.250k with the white shark package?

Hot! Downloading now at 5.7 MB/s so maxing out my connection

Funny man, of course I have...
Anyway I've noticed when somebody uses the house phone the connection drops and I get this weird dial tone when reconnecting, could it be this?

For anyone interested, even with all other connections disabled, the downloader would not work without being restarted every 10 mins or so with download speeds of 10-200kbps.
Torrenting a pre cracked retail release. Hopefully this will work, will update if it does.
Angry isnt the word though! Why am I having problems yet others arnt? If anyones thinking im crazy theres hundreds of others dating all the way back to launch on their own support thread:
Extremely slow downloading for Gta 5 pc

How do you got the $500,000 in game cash? just started the story mode and I don't have it? :neutral_face:

Ahh well :disappointed: Best of luck with it, as I said I think its for the online only so if your just playing single player in the meantime it shouldn't matter, just have fun with it :smiley:

Only have the GTA V key there :disappointed: I've sent them a message, don't suppose i'll get a response till tomorrow at best.

Crashing Like hell :disappointed:

Thanks, I can only find 1 code in my games, same as i was emailed. Guess I will have to contact them about it.

At this point I really don't know. Can usually have steam downloading, I limit it to 512kbps, a minecraft server running, 2 phones, 2 tablets and usually somebody is watching Netflix and we don't usually have issues. Ive tried disabling the wifi, so only my pc is connected via Ethernet, fresh restart with everything turned off, steam disabled and automatic updates off, still same problem.
If you guys can download it, then its something my end, however there is a massive thread on rockstar support with hundreds of people having similar issues. Seems some people are just gonna get unlucky whilst downloading...
Seems unfair and very random, gonna try another router, perhaps try downloading via mobile tethering and see if I still have problems.
Can find the thread for anyone with similar issues, ill also either try different methods like port forwarding or contact support failing that try and get a refund and post back when I get a solution

I had no problem, downloaded at 19mb a second, took about an hour. Sure its not your ISP?

Didn't have any problems with the download. Only reason I couldn't do anything else was because my download was maxing out. Don't have fibre or anything either, just the normal BB. Was getting around 11.5mbps and took around 12 hours. Just left it on overnight and all done by mid morning. Installed and running perfectly so far.

do you think steam will ever do a "proper" sale on this game its kinda rubbish that you can't get the game on steam code outside of steam, i kinda do want it but i want to play with my friends who have it on steam and also want to get the achievements for the game lol

Yeah Hola is dangerous but convenient, are there any alternatives that work as well? i usually disable it and only use it when i need it.

Anyone considering this beware,
The installer is useless, its a 60gb download, I only have normal broadband but I can reach download speeds of up to 8mbps. Rockstar social club only reaches around 256kbps if its lucky and usually sits around 10-150kbps. The connection also fails regularly and you have to manually press reconnect, usually losing a lot of the download if not all.
Feel completely ripped off and don't know what to do.
Don't usually torrent, but can anyone recommend anything? Preferably a legitimate download, havnt downloaded in years as I like to support developers but Rockstar don't deserve a penny of my money when they cant even handle there own direct server downloads.
Very unhappy :disappointed: There are plenty of threads round google with hundreds of complaints also.
To anyone who has already purchased, 2 recommended ways to get it to work are to launch it as admin or delete the .part file and restart it. Neither work for me, even if it didn't need restarting every 10 minutes it would take 8-10 days constantly downloading (And one other thing, despite it downloading at terrible speeds, for some reason it uses up 100% of your connection so no Netflix etc. Again its not just me with these problems).
:disappointed:

got to nuveem website and use hola to purchase this for much cheaper

great game love the pig mask pic op. heat.

Thanks! Still a bit unsure whether this is even worth buying over GTA 4, but finally jumped.

Hot, wanted this for ages wasn't willing to spend over £30 for a PC game

Great! I have just bought it.
Installing.. :smiley:

Tried paypal, tried card. Money taken out account twice but error flagged up so no code given to me :/

GMG, money taken out my account..apparently an error processing card details..

It's still a game that crashes a lot.

Thanks, think I'll go for the bundle then.

I ended up going for the Great White offer on the basis that the original offer costs £20.90 with a voucher worth £5.99 making the game £14.91. The Great white offer is £24.95 with a voucher worth £11.99 making the game £12.96. I'm sure the extra value "cash" will come in handy too.

£13 for the basic game is a superb price.

Anyone else having payment issues? tried 3 cards and all get an oops cant use this card for payment nonsense??

Thanx OP, ordered and also got the GTA V promo of $500,000, Heat added

Thats a steal I remember buying this £40 off steam, it's a great deal well worth so much content especially online with free updates every month or so

Just for clarity, can I confirm this isn't a steamworks title once the code is redeemed? I understand you need a social account to play (which is fine) but I assume this is not distributed via steam - can anyone confirm?

As silly as it sounds, if it isn't on steam then I won't play as I like having all my games on one location... Which is why I don't play any EA or Ubisoft games on my PC as I cannot stand having all these clients just to play a game.

You need to use VPNs guys - got this on release for:

Grand Theft Auto V (CN) - PC $23.40
Payment type: PayPal
Total $23.40

Is the extra cash with the shark bundle worth the ~£4 premium over the standard edition?

Bought, thank you. Used this code : SLICKD-EAL22O-FFGTAV and it worked.

I've not had any emails, but it doesn't matter as the site seems to go into a redirect loop whenever I click on the GTA5 links...

What John said.

Something doesn't quite add up :stuck_out_tongue:

The most you'd see is 72GB/hr.
Nothing to snarl at though, over double what I get on plusnet. Just wish BT would pull out their finger and compete with VM on a raw throughput basis.
Can't switch to VM. Vowed that I'd NEVER return.

If you are already a Green man gaming user it would also be worth checking your email to see if you have a "Get GTA V for £18.76 | Voucher inside" email waiting as well :smiley:

Got an email about this, annoying as hell as the download stays at 12mb/s for a while then goes back to 9kb/s after a few minutes, so had to keep restarting.

Personal preference. I don't want to have to manually find and install a separate program just to access one game.
Let steam handle it. Keep everything together.


True.
For me it gets annoying as I find that I reinstall me OS on a (semi) regular basis. ie whenever something isn't working, upgrading to windows 10 or whenever I've messed up after upgrading/tinkering :stuck_out_tongue:

Over your head?

Is it worth getting the Great White Shark edition for an extra £4. (22% code doesn't seem to work but 20% one is - making it £24.95).

Mine is better, I get 160 meg which means I download about 1.2 gigabytes a minute, it often peaks anything from 17.9 megabytes a second to just over 20.

Someone missed the joke...

waited,nice price,bought,thanx !

Yay..... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E9oOnUNJkBE

​yeah the 152mb package - apparently scheduled to get upgraded in january :smiley:

Would have likely got it if it was a steam key.
It's bad enough having your game library split across steam and origin, I don't want to start having some elsewhere too.

Insult? It was you that made it an insult.. I was referring to the provider with a question, I asked 'virgin?' as in 'Virgin media?' Nutcase..

but what about the cash it is linked qith your online acc, like the stocks so i dont think you can if so then you would loose the cash earned on the single player as it can also be used online.

When does this expire? Payday friday ^_^

God damn you!!!! Heat added and bought. Was waiting for it to get to £20ish.

no need to insult them

Virgin?

​it maxed out at 19 ^^

As above unfortunately the 30% off code is unique to the account holder (my bad )

Is there any link or code you can share?

Just had an email saying its 18.76 now from greenman gaming

Nice...fresh cannon fodder.

90p over what i wanted to pay, but nevermind.. let the download begin!

heat added!

Arch just realised 30% off is unique to my account ! Great price op

Don't forget Quidco! 5% new customers, 2% existing customers - moves you ever so slightly closer to the magical sub £20 point!

And 500,000 to spend in online play

For some people it takes weeks.
It would take me 1hr 38mins...but I already own the game on steam from when it was released.

btw HOT, very good price.

62GB!? That's going to take me days to download :disappointed:

Just purchased, got an additional code... Is it for this?

If I was playing this on somebody else's log-in on my PC, can I carry on where I left off with a new activation code?

Bought it, its a rockstar account game. For £20 its worth it!

Ordered,great price :wink:

It's not steam but there isn't a client as such its just click on launcher and click play once installed, all the launcher does is check for updates and install them its not a full interface.

Its like when you get a MMO, it just checks for updates rather than a full client.

dam it, i hitted like in-sted ov ingoar

Don't buy it... I regret getting it... I've basically given up my life for GTA Online... Ridonkulously addictive!

Kifflom brothers :wink:

I've been waiting for a good deal on this, but with Fallout 4 on the horizon dont have gaming funds spear for this! :-)

I'll probably get this on a black friday deal alone with about 50 others that i will hardly ever play :-D

heat added!

todays update (lowrider dlc) is ridiculously awesome! great price dont miss it

no steam? do I get this or the xb1 version with a friend for a similar price each

Its taken its time to get to this sort of price. Heat added. Also don't forget Quidco. :smiley:

Great price, heated..

great value game even at full price. hot from me

I mean with using my Rockstar Social account, for the offline stuff. I was using a friends Social Account log in to play through the story, now I want to use mine. I know I can transfer my old PS3 online stuff to my PC so I'm good to go on that front.

Cheapest I have seen since April so this is HOT! Personally bored with this game now but well worth it just to see what it is all about.

Going to get rather warm in here :smiley:
