GTA V Ill-Gotten Gains update introduces PC performance problems - Rockstar investigate
Players riding in motorcars from the newly expanded GTA V garage this weekend have been gripped by a sense of unease. Ah, you might say - the existential ennui of those who’ve achieved the American dream and have nowhere left to climb. But actually, no. It’s a frame rate thing.
Players have noticed lower frame rates in both GTA V and GTA Online in the aftermath of last week’s update 1.28. Rockstar were “looking into” those reports on Wednesday, a support page reveals.
Users on /r/Games have speculated that new anti-modding and hacking measures for GTA Online have slowed the game’s scripting system to a crawl - but the performance issues seem to affect players regardless of whether or not they have mods installed.
Patch 1.28 was the second half of the GTA Online Ill-Gotten Gains update - a shipping container full of cars, boats, clothes and other doohickies totalling $8 million in Rockstar’s currency. Have you been stockpiling cash in Los Santos?
Lots of micro stuttering, when I walk into ammunation FPS drops from 95ish to 10, during combat it drops dramatically too, enough to be very annoying.
Fog has returned to cover my entire SP (100% complete game) map.
Videos still do not upload to social club.
On the plus side they finally have the game not crashing every hour or so....
Also lots of microstuttering.
