Problem with GTA Games. [SOLVED]

by Guest Sun 31 May 2015, 12:00

hey everyone
am not sure if this is the right place to post this but I have a problem with gta 5 and its annoying me
its the problem of variety and its on pc and not on the console
so the problem started after a good time when I installed the last patch there was no problem but after some days this problem appeared
and now always the same 3-4 cars with buses and taxi cabs appearing in the road I tried to change the variety and density but still nothing
and when I exit the game and start it again the cars that appeared in the last lunch of it disappear and another same cars appear again and again
so is there anyone who had this problem and solved it please tell me
and is there any solution for this and thank you

Hi there,

I haven't played SP much, so no, I haven't had this issue.
But are you using any Mods for the game? If so, I highly recommend that you remove those and try playing without those first. They might be interfering with the game.

If you've completely removed all your Mods and the issue is still present, it might be a bug. In that case, try contacting Rockstar Games directly via: https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/requests/new
Provide as much information as possible.

yes I used mods but I removed them all and I still have the same problem
I tried to remove my saves and making new nothing changed and even reinstalling the game didnt fixed it
so maybe its a bug that needs to be fixed

Hi there,

What if you set the variety to max and then restart the game? It's worth a try.

by Guest Sun 31 May 2015, 13:55

am actually using the cracked version
and I tried to set the variety to max and even tried to set it from settings.xml in documents to another level but nothing
and I dont know how to fix it now
edit:and now the problem is in gta 4 + eflc and even gta sa have it now

How can something from GTA V affect two other separate games...? Sure, it would be technically 'possible' that some sort of patch deliberately jacks up the other games, but I'm not sure how likey that is. Are you sure you didn't copy those mod files into the GTA IV and GTA: SA folders, by mistake maybe ? Otherwise I'm not sure how problems in GTA V can "jump over" to other games.

P.S. seems that this glitch was already present in the console version of GTA V...

//EDIT

Checked an older thread on gtaforums, and someone mentioned this type of glitch has been around since GTA III (!) already. So I'm afraid you're very unlucky, or something in your latest patch screwed up those games.
http://gtaforums.com/topic/632807-same-2-3-cars-spawning-bug/page-2

I myself haven't had this glitch in GTA: SA and GTA IV; though I haven't played GTA V yet.

//EDIT

Quote from a post in said thread that I linked to:

Deji wrote:Lack of streaming memory is my guess. The streamer is constantly trying to spawn enough new cars for the dense requirements of the game, but if there's not enough memory available it will only spawn one model until it has enough memory to load others. The alternative would be a lack of vehicles altogether or some noticeable lag.

This can happen if you've travelled to the location fast. It has already filled up the streaming memory with loading the new area, which is way more important that vehicle variety. A lot of things need to be streamed and the quality of how they're streamed will depend on how important they are, because they are very limited by the 360/PS3 for a game so demanding as HD-era GTA.

Not defending this 'bug', but explaining from a technical view why it happens. But if V comes out on Xbone, PS4 and PC and still shows this problem, you should probably point and laugh at R*

Though I imagine this will mainly (?) be an issue if your computer isn't strong enough for the game. Or, it's a weakness from consoles that was also "ported over" to the PC version.

Sounds like it's starving memory. I used to have my memory usage pushed at 1305 / 1023 Mb and it lead to all the traffic cars being black and barely any peds spawning.

Anyway, the fact that you have it in every GTA game means it's either a very, very rare engine glitch that has been present since Rockstar first started using RenderWare, or your graphics card is busted.

Carlos
I didnt placed files of gta 5 in the other gta games
Anarchy
what do you mean by graphic card busted ? is that mean that its broken or something ?
other games still works fine only on gta games the variety I guess
watch dogs is like gta (maybe) I said that maybe the traffic would be like gta but the variety works fine as I saw
the problem appeared after a couple of days maybe 4 or 5 days ago but I dont know exactly what happened
the variety problem apeared firstly on gta 5 but not when I installed the last patch it was after that in a couple of days the problem apeared and now its on gta 4 and gta sa

If it's not a hardware or driver issue, it's nothing reformatting the hard drive won't fix.

so I need to wait for a new update then if nothing is the problem
and actually I uninstalled gta 4 + eflc and now 15 cars with buses and cabs apears and the others dont show up
so the problem is partially solved but still have to be fixed with an update from R*
and for now I will have to wait for another update

//EDIT

hello again
I tested gta sa in another pc actually a laptop and I still have the same problem of same 3 or 4 cars with cabs, buses and police
what if the problem is from the windows for some people
on the laptop I have windows 8 and on the normal pc I have windows 8.1
so whats the meaning of this
and in the other pc I replaced my graphic card with another one that I had before and same problem nothing changed
so what your suggestions

Hi,

Wait patiently, they're probably very busy at the moment.
They'll reply eventually.

If anyone else has suggestions, feel free to post them here.

Well, I can't tell you what went wrong there, but did you send the tickets via the right form? (So not on their Community thing)
Maybe they have changed in the meantime, who knows.
