Has the Trilogy Been Fixed? Like ACTUALLY fixed?

[Mr JC Denton in Da Fresh]

I felt like the trilogy would be a nice trip down memory lane on my Steam Deck. But, EVERYBODY knows the launch day chaos with all three games.

Are the bugs still atrocious or is everything actually good now?

I can tell, game looks much better now. However, it is not like new lighting is useless. Both have their pros and cons, depending on situation. Lighting can be changed in any moment by going to options. It is worth checking with on and off. It would be good to have it binded under selected key on keyboard. For the other changes, faces are updated. I am not sure how many but in Vice City Tommy looks more like original. I can add, that not having this update at all for PC version while it was added to mobile version was very wrong. I am glad it is clarified now and at least we are in line with updated version. Even if it is not perfect, at least we know we are not abbandoned.

I'm glad they finally updated the lighting and fog because that was the #1 issue keeping me from buying the remaster trilogy. But there's zero chance I'm paying 60 dollars for the bundle at this point. I've already waited two years and there are still obvious issues with the games. I don't think I could pay more than 50% purely out of principle even if every bug was fixed tomorrow.

I wish it has been fixed, but it looks like all Rockstar Games did was boot Grove Street Games to the side, only to eff the game up more. I say this because I am experiencing the frustrating issue of a white screen upon loading my game, where I can only see white and black outlines of random stuff

[K4RM4QU4Z4]

I am only asking because this issue, for me, started after I updated the game. I am currently trying to uninstall and reinstall, but somehow that causes the issue of the damn game refusing to update without failing constantly

Wait for discount. 60$ is too much. You're right. It would be probably worth full price if full soundtrack and original versions were added and all of that... in physical version on Blue Ray for PC (with 100 pages manual). Sounds like fantasty, discount is more real one. Blue Ray gaming for PC is a reality, that sadly did not happenen in our timeline.

They need to update the DLSS implementation, because it causes trails galore. Same with the regular TAA options, and FXAA+ is not quite adequate enough at a 4K render. DLAA or FSR3 Native AA would be ideal.

High price
Low discount
Buggy mess
Fortnite atmosphere
Missing features
No fixes or patches after years

So, in other words, you're refusing to experience something for yourself because someone else said it's buggy.

Got it.

As someone who actually owns the game, the bugs are minor, if they happen at all. It's worth playing, especially at discount.

This is the stupidest response I've ever heard. Why don't you take your lips off Rockstar's ♥♥♥♥ and say "Just buy it, you sheep" and get it over with?

I mean it's not like there's THOUSANDS of people in forums and in reviews and in comments everywhere all the time saying it's a buggy hellscape or anything... It's not like Cockstar literally made the sky ♥♥♥ on you in the beginning.

Rather than just staying on topic and let more people answer OP, you carried on de-railing about if he owns the game or not. Which DOESN'T matter, like you said.

I'm only here because I'm considering buying this for the achievements and updated graphics so thanks.

The fact he doesn't own it absolutely matters. They're trying to tell people about a game they haven't played. So yeah, that matters. I wouldn't be able to recommend or not recommend playing, say, Valkyria Chronicles, because I haven't played it.

It's called an informed opinion. The poster I'm responding to doesn't have one of their own, they're taking other opinions and passing them off as their own. See the difference?

There's a lot of games I don't own that I've played. :)

It's improved, not fixed. There's a ton of fixes in the last patch but some of the more blatant gameplay mistakes are still there.

Like Cj's inability to super sprint and most other jank associated with being based off mobile controls. Same reason the flying controls are so bad.

Problem with LoD still Cringe

Lods look marginally better because the fog is covering it up now, but it's still awfully slow and can't keep up with the player lots of the time.

It's one of the most obvious visual issues with the game so I'm not sure how they didn't do anything to try and improve it.

The funny part is if we could actually edit the engine.ini or use unreal engine unlocker without the game crashing we could fix the LoD ourselves within seconds
