Last month, we shared the news of an unofficial Bloodborne 60fps patch that was made public and now, another fan-made patch is making news for another game: GTA Online. Modder t0st created a fix that reduced the game's loading times by up to 70%. Rockstar also took notice of this fix and investigated it further.

"After a thorough investigation, we can confirm that player t0st did, in fact, reveal an aspect of the game code related to load times for the PC version of GTA Online that could be improved," the company told PCGamer. "As a result of these investigations, we have made some changes that will be implemented in a forthcoming title update."

After this statement, the fix's creator, t0st, said that they awarded $10,000 through Rockstar's Bug Bounty program.

The GTA Online update that includes this fix for loading issues is live as of today.

I was genuinely expecting them to issue a dmca and start banning players using it under the guise of preventing cheating or some BS then quietly putting the fix in themselves and expecting a back pat for it, I guess maybe games companies don't always have to spit in their fans faces

Honestly curious, but what would RockStar do with a backpack?

Guys keep in mind that it's not Rockstar that's been an asshole but TakeTwo. Rockstar is great, they make great games and like their community.
But TakeTwo, their parent company, are the ones that falsely DMCAed GTA3 and don't care about their fanbase.

Noted, I'll keep that in mind.

Btw, just fired up GTAV- and this. is. revolutionary. Never have I been loaded so fast into this game. It was less than 40 seconds. I'm legitimately impressed by this.

Well that's very cool! Hopefully other companies follow suit. There's a lot of cool mods that actually improve stability and over gameplay in different games.

Unfortunately you know who has a hate bonner with the early games.

I've never played GTA Online and I don't feel like it...

It's mediocre, you often get blown up by tryhards with the stupid ass flying bike that shoots missles, but when that isn't happening, the game is a decent amount of fun

If you want to waste 40 hours of your life grinding a meth lab for a single vehicle just for it to be blown up by some random lv 300 then I wouldn't play it.
