how good is the pc port

[Sarano]

and will it for for win7

[roygibve]

its an alright port tho iv had a problem with lock picking even with a USB controler which i would suggest using. lock picking with the mouse is far to difficult. Also it does work with win7

it is not to bad it is just hard to pick a lock

I've run across a few annoying issues -

1) Lockpicking - this requires you to draw small circles with your mouse in clockwise, and counterclockwise directions. It takes some trial and error to find the right speed, and the right sized circles.

2) Auto shop minigame - This also requires you to make small circles with your mouse, but you need to start doing so BEFORE the screen tells you to begin (and it helps if you keep going after it tells you to stop). The pattern is not random, so you can look up the correct pattern for each level of the minigame.

3) 5th button - It doesn't recognise the 5th button on my mouse - (it recognises the other 4)

4) Running - You'll do a lot of running. the run key (which also doubles as an action key) will need to be pressed most of the time.

5) Rebinding the keys - Whenever re-binding keys, if you just mildly tap your mouse, it will rebind moving the mouse in a direction (up down left or right) instead of the desired keypress. (I lift my mouse up off the table when rebinding keys to avoid this)

6) Bikes - Turning while on a bike IS NOT done with the mouse - it only changes the camera angle. Also the amount you turn with arrow keys (WASD) is miniscule at first and then drasticly jumps to about 45 degrees.

7) Auto Aim - Auto aiming will whip the camera around. It's quite disorienting.

8) Highlighting people - RMB will wighlight people to interact with, but even holding RMB down will not lock onto that person, so while you are trying to interact with that person, the game will sometimes switch to someone else nearby - with no warning.

Despite these and other minor problems, I'm still muddling my way through the story. But I've cursed the programmers who did the port work a few times.

It works well but I recommend a controller (I'm using a PS4 one)

[darknessviking]

wow,i was so close to buying it,but after these descriptions above,im very very doubtful about it. those stuff feels like a dealbreaker :(

dont be mistaken, I have completed the entire game without a controller, it definitely works but it's easier playing with a controller.

I just finished the main campaign with a ps3 controller, was pretty fun. That auto-shop minigame is quite difficult even with a controller though, I just save everytime I complete a mission/minigame so that if I fail I just reload.

What OS were you using and how recently have you beaten it? I've been asking about this but no one will respond.

I completed it like, half a year ago on Windows 8.1. But if I remember correctly, I also played until almost the end on Windows 7, approximately 18 months ago.

I played it & completed the entire game using WIN7 & now I tried it a few months ago on WIN8.1 and it also worked.

How did you get your PS4 controller, i can't to seem to get a hang of it how to install. Tried lots of things.

I connect my PS4 controller using a USB cable, then I use DS4Windows which makes the PC think it's a 360 controller. It works flawlessly.

Is there any improvement from Steam over the PC DVD version? Or is it negligible to none at all? That it isn't worth buying here if one already has the DVD version since Rockstar has a patch for it.

Thanks, works perfectly
