Question

What should I do when it says that it can't read the disk on a brand new game?

Community Answer

Try wiping the disk gently with a soft cloth, and trying again. If you bought the disk within the last week, you may be able to exchange it for a new one.

Question

Why is it telling me to open the tray for disc 2?

Community Answer

Because the installation of disc 1 has been finished and it's time to load the storyline, which is in disc 2.

Question

What if I don't have the second disc in the Xbox 360?

Community Answer

You can't play. The first disc holds all the actual game content, and the second disc is what allows your Xbox 360 to access the game content interactively.

Question

What do I do if I only have disc two and not disc one?

Community Answer

You are required to use the first disc to install the game content, disc two is required to play. If you have a friend who is willing to lend you his or her disc, you can use that to install, you won't need it after that's done. Also, the only versions that use multiple discs are the Xbox 360 which uses two discs, and the PC which uses seven.

Question

Should I clean my disc with a soft cloth after an Xbox error?

Community Answer

This is a good place to start, but the error might have been caused by a problem with your console. You might also consider looking up the error code displayed by your console, if available.

Question

Why does GTA V turn off while playing?

Community Answer

Usually it's because you didn’t install the part 1 disk before playing. If you did install it however, you should probably contact Microsoft (if it's because of your Xbox) or Rockstar (if it's your disk).

Question

Do I need an internet connection to install disc 1?

Community Answer

No. GTAV by itself without an internet connection is story mode. However, if you want to play online you will have to connect to the internet by WiFi or ethernet.

Question

When I download GTA 5, why does it ask me to adjust the resolution for Rockstar?

Community Answer

You need a high resolution to fit the needs of the game. You don't want to play with your screen looking bad.

Do I need disc 2 to play, or can I just use disc 1?

You need disc 2. Disc 1 is to download the content of the game, disc 2 is to launch the actual game.
