This last patch has made things so much worse
Before GTAV was ever patched my computer ran it fine at higher settings (not a constant 60, but within the 40 - 70+ without falling to pieces). Each successive patch seems to have messed it up that little bit more.
Game was taking days to do anything yesterday that I spent so much time looking at loading screens and reasons why it couldn't load stuff. The map wouldn't load properly at first either.
- I still have horrible stutter (went in just now, online, tried to run and the game was stuttering)
- Assets/textures don't load or don't stay loaded so roads, buildings disappear and the game stutters. Yesterday during online races I had to figure out where the roads and buildings were because they hadn't loaded in. Or they'd flicker etc.
- Story mode is a bit broken. It will load in from the sky, zoom in on the character as normal, black screen and load again so it can do the animation the character does to make it look like you interrupted. I had the game take an age to load yesterday and Franklin was below ground for a bit before it corrected.
- Controls are unresponsive (old issue). Phone takes a long time to open. Interactive menu often doesn't open at all. Pause menu has to load for ages before showing up. Same with any online interactions and warning screens that need you to do something.
- Game still crashes. At least it's not as much as before.
- Everybody leaves error.
Frame rate sits in what I consider to be a good/acceptable range for this game (40 - 70+)
I tried turning some settings down, it made no difference.
Tried closing everything else when playing (forgot Flixster first time, but it wasn't doing anything) made no difference. Tried with nothing else running and problems started as soon as I started sprinting.
Checked my RAM, was 6 GB usage and my CPU was at 100% for some reason. IIRC other games can get near 100% (I never really check because they don't have issues) and run fine.
Temps
Idle temp is 40 C CPU, 34 C GPU and 33 C ambient case
GTAV running temp:
55 C CPU. I didn't check the ambient case temp, but they're usually within 10 C of each other (IIRC, that's the case for the GPU as well)
Spec
Windows 10 1607
Samsung 840 Evo 120 GB
WD Black 2 TB (only program installs on this drive now, so I moved stuff around. It has 600 GB free. GTAV is installed here)
WD Green 2 TB (the game is not installed here, self radio's music is here though. Problems predate moving documents to this drive)
16 GB RAM
GTX 780
i5 4570
Antec Truepower 750W 80+ Gold
Soundblaster ZXR (problems predate this card being in the machine)
I'm not sure the rest of the spec is really relevant
Out of the games I own/have played, this is the worst performing (and I had Arkham Knight before it was fixed). Witcher 3 which is similarly demanding runs fine (not always 60, but high enough FPS) at similar/higher settings
Already tried
- Turning settings down for the stuff you won't notice (grass and things). No help
- Repairing the game using the disc. No good
