It looks pretty good for such an old game. Is there RTX global illumination? The lighting looks modern-ish.

Yes, RTGI was added in this version. No, it is not "RTX."

Some people are having trouble transferring their saves from the old version and they got rid of text chat. Those are the big two things people are upset about.
 
After last nights "adventure", I figured I'd start the Legacy/Redux downloads before leaving for work etc.

Welp, last update to GTA V Redux was in Dec 2023 (I used "methods" to avoid forced updates during my last setup which apparently was 2ish years ago)

Anyways - at least as of now, GTA V Redux is not compatible with the current legacy version etc.

BUT FEAR NOT, google is your friend and search for "GTA V Redux Dodi pack" (I do not endorse nor support googling for said mod pack, ahem)

When I first played this game (ten years ago - wtf???) I think I spent too much time, in the early stages, exploring the world, rather than following the story.

I re-started this game on the weekend and decided to follow the story and the game is much more enjoyable than I remember it.

There’s some good writing in this game… ‘employee of the month… lol’.
 
So, decided to finally give the enchanced version a try with my new 4090. Gotta say, MUCH better to look at as it no longer feel dated.

Might have to play some more now...
 
ive noticed some changes in the traffic AI and aggressiveness. Ive also noticed that when taking cabs it will drop you to the closes point to the waymarker instead of the route to it. I took a cab to the observatory last night and it stopped and kicked me out down the cliff from the observatory. Its also done it when i took a cab to my house, dropped me off a block over. It looks and runs pretty great. I dont give a shit about chat in GTAO as its always been the most toxic environment ever. Hell i dont even play GTAO.
Just waiting for ScripthookV, Menyoo and Natural Visions Evolved Graphics mod to work on it.
 
Grand Theft Auto 5 PC - Ray Tracing Upgrade - A Preview of GTA 6 Features?

Alex takes a look at the game running fully maxed out, tests out performance on mainstream PC hardware and stacks up the new RT features against GTA 6 Trailer #1... are we seeing a preview of some of Rockstar's upcoming RT technology?...


View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6gMvs52-Hs
 
Finished the SP. Agree, waiting for scripthook. Trainers make SP so fun to just screw around and cause mayhem.
 
Accidentally deleted GTA V from my steam account. Didn’t even know you could do that. Anyways downloaded enhanced version, went to start and Rockstar popped window. In order to protect my account use code sent to email. The email account was closed years ago, over 4. Went to Rockstar but in order to get support, I had to log in. lol, to an email account that does not exist and password who knows. Can’t recover that password. Don’t remember ever creating one to begin with with Steam.

Anyways is this update worthwhile for $15 repurchase on Steam. That’s if I can create a new account. Also lost Red Dead Redemption 2, still in Steam account but no access.
 
I got it working on Linux w/ Heroic Games Launcher & some fixes. No gaming online with it though since R* didn't enable Linux for Battleye. https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Rockstar-Games-from-Epic-Games

There is also no such thing as RTX global illumination, RTX is just the group name given to tech used by Nvidia which covers RT/PT features.
 
It'll be interesting to see how much of a focus Rockstar puts on performance vs. visual fidelity in GTA6. They've gone back and forth with their approach a few times over the years. Personally, I've always felt like their animation and real-world looking environments did the heavy lifting for them. If GTA6 ends up looking like GTA5 (or especially RDR2) with the details jacked, I'm fine with that. Most people are just gonna play the online portion on a potato laptop anyway.
 
Is this new version better than the Redux or other modded versions, and would it even be possible to mod it to Redux after this update? I got my copy free on Epic, but haven't played it yet.

Submitted ticket to Rockstar, gave them receipt information of games bought, dates bought, all the things they asked for and in less than 2 minutes denied ticket closed. So all my Rockstar games are nerfed, unusable. Guess I will play all the multitude of games available elsewhere and ignore Rockstar.

I did and that was immediately closed. I might be able to reopen the comcast email account even through they do not provide email services to new members anymore. I will go that route since I still have one email account open. If that does not work, tired of wasting time with them.

Unless you care about GTA:Online for some reason, just pirate it. Fuck 'em.
 
At this point you've attempted to do the right thing and they won't let you. #YOLO - Hit up the Bay.

Great.. is there an easy way to xfer the cloud saves? Noticed my key bindings are all reset too..

Yeah, I think there was a note in one of the Steam announcements for GTA V: Enhanced just prior to its release.

Looks like Rockstar has it on their site, too: https://support.rockstargames.com/a...V-Legacy-to-Grand-Theft-Auto-V-Enhanced-on-PC

If you run into a message, like I did, about needing to accept the new Rockstar online policies then you just need to launch into GTA Online once which should then prompt you to accept them. Then you can do the transfer. I spent about 30 minutes signing into Rockstar's website trying to find where to accept them, since the game tells you to visit rockstargames.com to do so...SMH.

Here's an article with more clarification on that if you need it: https://www.pcgamer.com/games/grand-theft-auto/gta-5-enhanced-save-file-transfer-how-to/

So I got a save over to Enhanced.. fired it back up. Is it just me or is the Enhanced version just fuzzy/less focused? RT is on.. is this the effect? Not sure I like it at all. I'll need to play with the settings.

As for key bindings. Regular GTA has a Profiles, control folder that has a HTML file with the key bindings. Enhanced does not have the control folder under profiles. Where is enhanced hiding the key bindings?

Did just that a few minutes ago and it worked fine... thanks!

On the "updated" graphics.. meh.. I'm adjusting the settings and everything still just looks blurry AF.
Click to expand...
hdr on or off? rdr2 looks blurry af with it on for me....
 
Well I could not locate a HDR setting in the graphics options so I tried disabling RT and it still look's soft-n-fuzzy. Same with RT on at high settings. Think it's just the new "look".

trying dumbing down the settings and turn off all processing, see if it clears up and then add stuff back.

There's one setting that blurs everything in the distance.

I think it gets enabled at some point on the post processing settings. Try turning it to high. Also disable depth of field.

Night time seems a bit hazier with how the street lights illuminate the world now, but that looks pretty good I think

It was Frame Scaling.. was set to Sampling. Disabled it and fuzzies vanished. I also have Sharpness set to 100, depth of field off, motion blur off. Post effects set to ultra had little effect changing so I left it.
 
I waited for NV enhanced before fired it up. I used NV on my first play through about 5-6 years ago. It's only 5 gig and an easy install.

The only thing I don't like about this is that it's a bit TOO contrasty. I can't figure out how to quite fix it.

I don't think it comes across too well on the video, but the sky is like blue to the extreme on sunny days, while anything white is borderline blown out, and anything in shadow is quite dark - even in the middle of the day.

Same with the RDR2 mod from this dude. I guess it's just the style.

yeah I tried the Red Dead II mod of his, I didn't care for it at all. It just seemed to change things to much. Don't get me wrong it still very well done, I just preferred the more vanilla flavor if you will.
