GTA Online: a fan solves one of the most irritating problems

Loading times are drastically reduced on PC after modifying and fixing some of the code.

The new generation of consoles and their SSD hard drives (also in computers, of course) may have managed to reduce loading times to the maximum, but some veteran titles still have problems of this style. One of them is GTA Online, the multiplayer side of GTA V, one of the most successful video games in history. Fortunately, a follower has been able to drastically reduce loading times, yes, in the PC version.

User tostercx has uploaded the modified code to GitHub, although he warned that it is more of a test that it can be done. “If this ever comes to Rockstar,” he says in a post where he explained the process step-by-step, “it shouldn’t take more than a day for a single developer to fix it. Please do something about it. “

As pointed out by tostercx, by modifying the code it has been able to reduce loading times by 70%. Considering that it is one of the most frustrating and irritating problems for the community, if Rockstar applies it at some point it will mean a great improvement in the quality of life of the product.

A game for several generations of hardware

And it is not that GTA Online is in a bad moment precisely, rather just the opposite. Both GTA V and its multiplayer continue to perform very well on the market. In fact, Rockstar Games is already preparing a version for the new generation of consoles. Do not forget that the title debuted on PS3 and Xbox 360, but later came out in its successors, PS4 and Xbox One. Now, so many years later, PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S are preparing to receive their respective optimized version .

GTA Online is available for free when you purchase GTA V. Since its launch, the game has been mutating through new content and updates.
