v1.19(LG) & v1.05(CG) Notes

[Danielle 3,007]

New Features / Updates

• Players are now able to own a third property, allowing potential ownership of up to 30 cars and 9 bicycles.
• Deadzone and Acceleration sliders have been added to control Settings.
• First Person Mode Auto Level Camera on/off setting has been added to Settings.

New Content

• Three new settings added:
  • First Person Aim / Look Deadzone – This reduces right stick deadzone. A lower deadzone allows for the game to register player input sooner and in turn make aiming more responsive for players that require greater precision; the higher the setting, the faster the player is able to look around.
  • First Person Aim / Look Acceleration – This controls how quickly speed is increased until the player reaches maximum turn speed; the lower the setting, the longer it takes for the player’s turn speed to reach maximum.
  • First Person Auto Level Camera on/off setting – This gives the player complete control over where they’re looking at all times. With the option on, if a player is looking down and moving forward then the camera will pan up so that the player can see in front of them. With the option off, then the player would remain looking at the ground when moving forward.
• Four new vehicles have been added to Southern San Andreas Super Autos:
• Bravado Rat-Truck
• Vapid Slamvan
• Dinka Jester (Racecar Livery)

I guess they didn't fix an issue where R* screwed up DC's crew emblem... Nope 

 

Lots of good stuff here though.

Hmm didn't know about the chute bags

[Danielle 3,007]

I saw them yesterday, went to see if there was any Christmas ones

[zmurko 7,622]

And no fixes for PS3? Like there's nothing broken, eh?

How about just fixing the broken PL creation R*?!

Festive Period (Time-limited content)

• Please note that the weather option will be removed from Job lobbies during Snowy Weather.
  

I asssume this means that all races hosted during this period will have snow(ing) set as weather and no option to change it?

[Danielle 3,007]

yes

[Jesse 867]

I missed that, that's so cool! 

[DavidCore89 7,402]

That's gonna be awesome.

[zmurko 7,622]

Well, I'm prepared, bought a Dinka Jester racecar, hoping the AWD will make a difference.

Z - the only thing I noticed "fixed" on PS3 is the spawn locations when you load the game.  For the longest time, you would spawn in your apartment, no matter what.  When I changed my spawn location to my garage, it saved and didn't jump back to my apartment like it was doing for months.  I put fixed in quotations because I never switched lobbies to see if it was actually fixed.  Guess I'll find out for sure this afternoon.

 

I totally agree with you though.  The playlist thing needs to be fixed so we can add custom created LTS/Capture's to playlists.  That spawn location was a headache, but I'd much prefer R* fixed the playlist thing.

[zmurko 7,622]

Spawning in the apartment was annoying because it took ages to load (sometimes more than 5min for me). Luckily I have a garage without an apartment as my 2nd property, so I had my spawn location set to that place to avoid this issue. Didn't know they've fixed that now. I'll see how it works tonight then.

It's fixed.  I checked twice and both times, I spawned in my garage.  Yay!  

[Jaggy 2,811]

I think I found another broken issue...

 

Adding your own jobs to playlists on PS3 seems to not work.  When I click on "Add Your Job", it does nothing.  It keeps me on the menu where all the options are to add race/deathmatch/survival/etc.  

 

This is so lame, Rockstar.  Not sure if it's just me though.

[DeaD_GooN 1,312]

I loaded up some of my races last night, and the default settings were all fucked up. One time it wouldn't even allow me to use custom cars. Very frustrating.

[Jaggy 2,811]

I was finally able to add my own job after restarting the game about five times.  Lame, Rockstar, so lame.

They need to fix the jumbled playlist thing if they haven't tried this time. Depending on if R* likes me tomorrow morning or not will determine if my playlist is in order or not. This will be the first time I've assembled a last minute playlist.

If not I'll still roll with it. Sorry to everyone if we end up with 4 DMs in a row.

This is to do with certain jobs, I had container yourself in my playlist a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't change the order but when I removed it I could. Maybe it's normal deathmatches?

Certain jobs will do it, but if I wait a day or two and try and edit the order sometimes I can get it to save the way I want. It usually will jumble after a save if I use a mix of LTSs and TDMs. I'm not sure why.
