I built a new gaming PC last December mainly for two games - Carmageddon Reincarnation and GTAV. The first shockingly turned out to be horrible trash both technically and game wise. GTAV has been a horrible journey so far too:

1) I finally bought a GTAV key recently but could not download it with my 4G internet, apparently it's too unstable for GTAV downloader, while stable enough for everything else. It kept losing connection and midway suddenly asked to enter the key again. After entering it said my key was already in use. You don't say!! A few days passed till Rockstar tech support answered and at least helped to solve this issue.

2) I decided to take my PC to office 50km and download the 60 gigs there. While it was a hassle at least I finally had the game dloaded and installed ready to play.

3) I played for a few hours enjoying it immensely, until suddenly when Trevor's first mission started an error message appears about data integrity or some shiet. I started investigating, needed to use additional soft for data checking and now as I launch the game it needs to download ~2 gigs again which I cannot do with my 4G internet at all, I guess I have data caps and need to wait till October now.

In times like this I think uck PC gaming, HASSLE RACE. While searching for solutions I saw many ppl faced these problems and could not solve them. I don't want to spend a minute more solving anything, for a game that was released HALF A YEAR ago, before that being postponed for another half a year.

I got my copy off Steam with no issues at all.  Sorry to hear others aren't so fortunate.

It seems the problems lie around your internet service, not PC gaming in general. Sorry about that tho.

Yes, Rockstar, no Steam download. I saved 30 euros but ended up with broken game.

Using your phone net was gonna be the problem. Even if you bought the Physical PC copy. The patches would still kill you.

This is why you should use Steam it actually has functionality to resolve this kind of thing.

And I actually experienced a similar issue with Halo: The Master Chief Collection at one point... A patch corrupted my game forcing me to download something like another 70Gb~ worth of data. (Game+DLC)

I also feel sorry for you... Life is rough on non-cabled connections.

Fact of the matter is, this kind of crap can happen on any kind of platform, that's life.

Data caps are very common in Canada, and btw he's talking about 4G phone internet. I don't know anyone that has unlimited data on their phone. I'm surprised you can download that much, the max I can get here is 15GB for $145 a month, plus $5 for every extra 100MB. To download GTA 5 on 4G would cost an extra $2,250.

It's not my phone net, it's a legit internet connection here for areas without cable, you get a modem and all. It is marketed on national TV as super fast internet for all areas, which it is not, it is 600 KB/s. I don't know for sure if I have data caps or not, usually when I have to download something larger I do it in office with cable.

Ah, okay. But it might as well be classed as phone net. At those speeds. That really sucks.

It's still the same as using a mobile phone's internet connection, same technology/network. (LTE/4G.)
The only difference is... Your modem has better hardware dedicated to the task at hand, such as antennas' and routing. etc'.
600KB/s is about 6Mbps which is on the low side of life for this generation.
