New Title Update to Address GTA Online Game Progress Loss and Other Issues

"A new title update to address the reported issues of game progress loss in GTA Online as well as other technical fixes, tweaks and enhancements is now available for PlayStation 3, and we expect it to be available by tomorrow at the latest for Xbox 360. This title update will resolve the cause of players losing their gameplay progress except for some specific instances where players purchase a vehicle and the save does not occur due to a cloud save failure. A fix for that particular issue is being worked on and we will provide an update as soon as we know when this will be resolved. "

This should fix issues for most people now

Judging from the comments my progress won't be restored when I get on tonight. sigh

edit: confirmed

BattleTorn3848d ago

For your sake, I hope it is!!!

M-M3848d ago

I'm pretty sure this is very far-fetched, but can they fix the frame rate drops and pop ins? The pop ins screw me up in races lol, and when the FPS dips to about 26 it starts to hurt my eyes.

"Fixes an issue causing the "replay" option to be locked out on certain jobs"

I thought they purposefully disabled it (it began after 1st patch) to prevent players from grinding their way too quickly, making too much money.

So, was it a fix, or a glitch?

And they didn't address the "American Dream" achievement/trophy glitch...

-Ghost3848d ago

American Dream trophy/achievement isn't glitched.

You must buy a property from the Internet on your phone, as the trophy/achievement won't unlock if you buy one from the "For Sale" signs in front of the various properties dotted around the map.

BattleTorn3848d ago (Edited 3848d ago )

Lol seriously?

Cause "own a apartment, garage, and insured vehicle" really specifies that the property must be bought it a specific way...

Do I have to insure a specific vehicle, too? SMH

Pintheshadows3848d ago

Okay, I have to say after a week of not being able to get on I got my first session this evening and it is loads and loads of fun. Shame it didn't work off the bat, but still, it is awesome.

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.

Inverno29d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist36d ago

Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.

BISHOP-BRASIL36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.

EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.

Kombatologist35d ago

@BISHOP-BRASIL

I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
