After getting the free GTA V on the Epic Games Store, there are still things you need to know to experience this game to the fullest.
Over the weekend, Epic Games Store shocked world gamers by giving away free GTA 5 to all gamers for a week, from 10pm on May 14 and ending at 10pm on 21 / 5. This is a premium version containing the original game and many other bonuses for GTA Online mode, such as $ 1 million in virtual money. The deal was so good that it literally knocked down the Epic server, so I wouldn't be able to play the games I bought on the Epic Games Store, let alone get free GTA V.
It wasn't until the morning of May 15, that the Epic server was stable and gamers started receiving and downloading games. However, in the process of browsing through forums and social networks about games, I realized that there were many questions that Vietnamese gamers asked about this game. Therefore, I write this article to try to answer all those questions.
Free GTA V, permanently kept
This is something I thought it didn't have to be said, but it turned out to be, because the number of gamers who were not familiar with the game and asked the question ' whether or not to install the game' or 'take' then kept for too long ' too much. I would like to confirm that like all games that Epic Games Store gave before, after receiving the game into your Epic Games Store account, you will be able to keep it permanently regardless of the installation or not, whether there are enough gaming configurations or not.
Whether taking games on Epic, you play on Rockstar server
The Epic Games Store only acts as a game giver for gamers and the game still operates on Rockstar's server, so once you have received the game to your account, you still have to log in to your Rockstar account to be able to play GTA Online .
Some gamers wonder that after they received the game on Epic and downloaded Rockstar Launcher, if they could remove Epic Games Store or not, the answer is no. I have tested this by removing the Epic Games Store and the GTA V icon on Rockstar Launcher has the words 'Play On Epic' (played on Epic) attached. As such, you must keep Epic Games Store on your computer
The soaring number of GTA Online players also made Rockstar's server distorted, forcing Rockstar to issue a notice saying 'we are having problems accessing Rockstar's game services, including Rockstar Games Launcher and GTA V for PC. We are actively working to resolve the issue and will notify you of changes. ' So if you have problems logging in, you can understand that it is because Rockstar's server is overloaded and sharks have just bitten Vietnam's internet cable.
Where is my 1 million dollars?
As we said at the beginning of the article, the free GTA V that Epic offers is the Premium version that contains $ 1 million in virtual money, but many gamers eagerly log in to GTA Online without seeing a dime and asking everywhere. . In fact, the answer to this question is right at the top of the Epic store, as you can see below:
The white text in the blue box states that that $ 1 million may take 7 to 10 days before appearing in the player's account after they log in to GTA Online for the first time. It will only be added for first-time Starter Pack players, so if you already own the Starter Pack from another platform, that money will never be added to your account.
It is not clear why gamers have to wait so long, because at the present time, $ 1 million is only a small change in the world of GTA V. A racing car costs nearly $ 3 million, all kinds of wrap cars. more than 3 million steel, jetpack nearly 4 million, . Maybe they do not want gamers 'wet feet' into the game with 1 million dollars in hand, which may be just a technical problem.
The gold-plated Luxor plane cost 10 million dollars.
How to make more free money?
In addition to the $ 1 million above, we also know a way to receive free money in GTA Online. Currently, Twitch is offering a $ 1 million promotion for players with a Twitch Prime account and a Rockstar account. Getting $ 1 million is very easy because Twitch Prime has a free one-week trial policy - you just need to activate the trial period, get the money here and then turn off the trial.
After linking your Rockstar account to Twitch, press the Claim Now button to get $ 1 million.
In addition, this month Rockstar is also running an event to donate $ 500,000 to gamers when playing GTA online. As with the $ 1 million cash from Epic Games Store, this $ 500,000 will be deposited into the player's account within 7 days.
Whenever mod is locked GTA Online account
Rockstar is extremely strict with modding GTA Online, although this does not prevent crooks from hacking 'bodies' online games. If you play GTA V 'offline,' you can freely mod GTA V, turn yourself into Iron Man or call a UFO to fly to Earth without worrying about anything. But if you use this modified version of GTA V to log in to GTA Online, you will be locked out of your account regardless of whether or not you have cheats enabled, and playing on Steam, Epic or Rockstar Launcher does not matter.
If the mod, you should only play offline.
So if you want to mod the game and want to play GTA Online, our advice is to copy the game somewhere else and make the mod in this copy, keeping the original intact.
Scripthook V?
Scripthook V is an extremely useful toolkit for gamers who want to mod GTA V, but many gamers who have problems because Scripthook V reports an error when using the free GTA V game from the Epic Games Store. The reason is simple: the game version of Epic Games Store has the number 1.0.1868.4 and Scripthook V temporarily supports only 1.0.1868.0 or 1.0.1868.1. So if you want to mod the game, Vietnamese gamers will have to wait a while for the author of Scripthook V to update his tool - its official website is also crashing, probably because of the number of visitors to mod game.
Hopefully this article has helped answer Vietnamese gamers' questions about the free GTA V version I just received on the Epic Games Store. If you have any questions, please comment below and I will try to answer it for you!
