It was a little rough going at launch, but Rockstar Games is slowly but surely making Grand Theft Auto Online the optimal multiplayer experience that it was meant to be.
The company has recently released a new patch that addresses a number of issues in the online component of Grand Theft Auto 5. You’ll find them all listed below.
Fixes numerous issues that were causing vehicle loss and/or loss of vehicle mods
Fixes an issue where the incorrect car is replaced when choosing to replace a car in a full garage
Fixes an exploit allowing players to sell the same vehicle multiple times
Fixes an issue that caused personal vehicles to be duplicated
Fixes an issue where some players were unable to pay utility bills on an owned apartment or house
Fixes an issue where players were not getting Crew invites in-game
Fixes an issue where the starting point for the tutorial race was not appearing
Fixes issues with joining Jobs from within a player-owned garage
Fixes issues with players getting stuck while using playlists
Fixes additional issues causing black screens, long load times, and players getting stuck in the sky cam
Adds details in the UI to clarify that characters created while Rockstar cloud is unavailable are temporary (non-saved)
Adds changes to the character creator to make better-looking default characters with the “random” option
Players now only lose a maximum of 500 GTA$ upon death in Freemode
In addition, players should start seeing their $500,000 deposits very soon, as the first ones will be made over the weekend. Time to spend that money!
The patch should download automatically the next time you start the game up.
Grand Theft Auto Online is available now, as a supplementary download to Grand Theft Auto 5. Be sure to check out our Free Guide for full coverage on the game!
