Does anyone know where to find the Packie Mcreary random encounter? I've found the other heist partners. I just need to find Packie.
 
There's a strip mall near Franklin's aunt's house. You have to go there during the daytime, and Packie will be there outside "Pop's Pills".
 
Anyone else think it'd be brilliant if they implemented the tracker/insurance and mechanic from online into single player?!

Absolutely.

They respawn the main car you own regardless of what happens. Wish they'd do that with anything you save. Even if it costs.
 
Oh man did an endurance race triathlon that was a real life half an hour. I expected like 5min. My hands are still shaking.

There's a guy that looks like Jesus.
 
Has anyone else had problems unlocking the last Tonya mission. Pulling one last favor?
I have beat the game, and it is the last mission I need to do to get 100%, I'm currently stuck on 99.5%. I have phoned her hundreds of times, with it going straight to voicemail, have slept repeatedly to force a save, switched between characters, both online and offline and still can't get it to pop. I have phoned here from the tow truck lot, Franklin's house and all throughout the day.

You have tried getting in the truck to see if you left halfway through, right?

:dunce:👍
 
Well for all the people here is a list of things to come.

THE GTA$ STIMULUS PACKAGE
We know many of you are anxiously waiting for us to show you the GTA$ Stimulus Package money we announced a couple weeks back. As mentioned in that post, we of course want to ensure that game progress loss issues are sufficiently sorted before distributing the GTA$ to everyone. We have a few more tweaks and fixes to make in a new title update that will hit sometime next week and then we will distribute the cash.

THE BEACH BUM PACK
Coming in early November will be the first add-on content update, the Beach Bum Pack which will bring all-new beach themed vehicles and new weaponry that you’ll be able to use in both GTA Online and Story Mode. Plus new customization options for your GTA Online character including new tats, hairstyles and more. We’ll also be adding lots of brand new action-packed Jobs to play with Gang Attacks, Survivals, Last Team Standings, Parachutes, Deathmatches and Races that will have you bloodying up the waters and coastlines of the finest beach resorts across Los Santos and Blaine County.

THE CONTENT CREATOR
We are also working to bring you the debut of the first part of the GTA Online Content Creator this fall – giving players the ability to craft, publish, rate and play custom-made Deathmatch and Race Jobs. We’ll be keeping our eye open for exceptional ones that we’ll be stamping as ‘Rockstar Verified’ and will be featuring them here at the Newswire and as part of forthcoming GTA Online Social Club Events. Both the Content Creator and the Beach Bum Pack are free.

SOCIAL CLUB EVENT WEEKENDS
Starting in November will be the first Grand Theft Auto Online Social Club Event weekends which will bring special rewards and bonuses ranging from limited-edition in-game Event Crate Drops to in-game discount specials and even a special new GTA Online live-stream show hosted by Rockstar at the Social Club Events page and Rockstar Games Twitch page – plus prize pack giveaways of hard to find GTAV gear and more.

Stay tuned as we hope to have more information with more details and specific timings on these content updates as well as on GTA Online Heists and the new GTA Online Capture the Flag mode to share with you next week. We will also have initial details on more additional content coming for both Story Mode and GTA Online in the next few weeks.

Highlighted the Most important thing.
 
GTA V spotted in ASCI characters within a file of the newly released AMD catalyst 13.11 beta 6 drivers.

In simple terms, it further points to GTA V coming on PC. Not that it wasn't obvious already.

Oh ok. Now it's just a question of whether or not it will be optimized. I heard that GTA IV didn't run well on PC.
 
Alright. This is getting very annoying now. Still trying to find the Coil Voltic. Using multiple types of cars in locations where they are known to spawn at. No luck at all. Rockstar NEEDS to fix the vehicle spawning mechanic. The cars that appear on the street/in parking garages should NOT be dictated by the car YOU are driving. Every car should show up, not 30,000 SUVs and M3 convertibles.

Also, I am not going to watch another video by stupid COD-commentators-turned-GTA-players who have shown all the locations. I've been to all of the locations already.
 
Try the online trick, it may work. Go online, do a supercar race and use the Voltic. After the race immediately quit out to single player and see if they spawn.

You can get different cars to spawn by replaying different missions, that's how I got my Coquette, Bullet and Carbonizzaire... I believe a Voltic can spawn in one of the heist setup missions (it spawns next to where you have to take a getaway car IIRC).
 
Been trying to glitch out of
North Yankton in the mission Bury the Hatchet. I've managed to get inside a building but I want to be able to explore without failing the mission, as if you go literally 3 metres away from the path you fail. You can use the cars to climb up on rooftops, some of them you can fall through, its funky.
 
There is also something interesting about the damage model in that mission. I managed to hit the back of the train right before I missed it on the way to the destination. It pretty much took the roof off and flattened the car, looked like Michael was driving nothing. Normally there are boundaries, aka the main frame can't be damaged. But as Rockstar didn't intend any serious crashes in such a slow paced area, I can wreck it beyond recognition. I have to be quick to hit the back of the train though, but if timed right the cockpit of the car will be gone.
