WTF no i'll say WHAT The FUCK GTA....!

[Gargantua]

Hi am i the only one facing this shit or its normal ?

 

i've bought GTA V last night and it was compressed on 7 DVD. 

 

when i decompressed it , the game took hardly 10 mints 

and when i started installation , its been 9+ fucking hours and its still on 80.4 % and still installing ......WTF is this

 

for playing it why someone bother to install a 67 GB shit and what for almost 12 hours to install .

 

My rig

i7 4790k stock

8b ram 1866 fsb

480 intel SSD where i'm installing it .

Windows 7 (fully up dated) SP1

Well, its 67 GB, that's still a huge amount of data.

[zappian]

whats your gpu?

[ELSknutson]

ya its a bit large and if your internet connection is bad or it is interupted in any way I could see it taking that long but its totally worth it

 @jeb man even then i've played 40 gb stepup games like COD AW and that took i think 30 mints to install. 

 

@ Zappian . its ASUS GTX 980 . but there is nothing to do with GPU during installation . GPU jumps in when i launch the game and during game play .

internet is not that bad its 32mbps so i'm getting atleast 3.2mb down rate even if its worst .

I bought through Steam because I don't have a disk drive

 

(Bought 2/7/15)

I was eligible for the pre-load so I did that when it opened up, only took an hour and a half to download and about 15 or so minutes to unpack / decrypt it when the game officially launched

compressed

7 DVD

67 GB

Seems about right. Don't complain. But why did you buy physical copy btw?

[ShadowCaptain]

weird

 

I downloaded off steam and was up and playing within 90 minutes

Not sure if you can but maybe try activate the cd-key on steam and just install from there... if it's taken that long it sounds like it's hung (unless it's still progressing)

Rise your hand ...Brother to brother in PC gaming .lol

[Thony]

Thats super slow. Even for freaking HDD this wouod not be acceptable.

The only problem i can see is your Disc Drive bottlenecking u.

I actually dont know the read speeds of the DVD-ROM drives anymore but thats my best guess.

HDD can unpack and install game files within 35 minutes, SSD within 15 minutes.

Or as mentioned in comments, couod be because u need to download the latest patch amd rockstar server is very slow for u.

[Niblolkik]

took me like 4 hours to install from DVDs then 4 hours to update

[Ostwind]

Friend of mine bought a physical copy and I was on the TS with them while they installed it. Took about an hour or two for him to run through the disks and install. Sounds to me like your install got hung up and didn't go anywhere.

I have 16mbps (1.6MB/s down) and i still decided to download it.

When u go to bed its simple to leave the download on while u sleep and them limit it during the day so u have the game in 24hours (still faster than delivery by post).

If u have data cap then u are fucked and your excuse is valid.

It's cause social club downloads super slow and even if you have the disc version you need to update which is super slow.

People who downloaded it in less than 5 hours got the steam version.

I got the non steam version and it took 12 hours to download on a 200mbps connection

[Badger906]

took me 4 hours to download and about 5 mins to install. plus about 5 mins on day of release to unpack the game.

discs are only useful as coasters in my house as none of my pcs have optical drives

[GarnetDevil]

Dude, who the hell use optical discs to install +60GB games these days.....
