Before diving into the streets of Los Santos, ensure your game is properly installed and configured. For PC users, follow the on-screen prompts after inserting the disc or downloading from a digital storefront. It's recommended to install the game to a non-system drive if possible to avoid potential conflicts. Once installed, launch the game and navigate to the 'Options' menu. Here, you can adjust display settings (resolution, anti-aliasing), audio levels, and most importantly, control bindings. Experiment with different resolutions to find the best balance between visual fidelity and performance for your system. Ensure your audio is set up correctly to hear important dialogue and environmental cues. For console players, installation is typically automatic upon inserting the disc or downloading the digital version. Always check for game updates before starting to ensure you have the latest patches and bug fixes.
