New GTA Patch Fixes Online Exploits

Earlier this week there were reports of Microsoft supposedly banning people for exploiting a bug that allowed people to continuously sell a vehicle and make millions of GTA$ per day.

The new patch that was released today has fixed this bug and stops players using the exploit.

The patch also fixed many other problems with the online, such as missing items, cars, apartments and characters with Rockstar saying the issues were “due to a cloud save failure.”

One other major change is that players can now only lose up to $500 instead of all of their money, when they are killed. This hopes to stop players being constantly gunned down and losing large amounts of money that they have been playing for therefore improving the in-game economy.

With all of the problems that GTA Online has faced since launch, Rockstar are giving $500,000 GTA$ to players by way of an apology, with the patch installed you can expect your first instalment of $250,000 early next week.

The full list of patches are below:

  • Fixes problems causing vehicle loss/loss of vehicle mods
  • Fixes cars being replaced when choosing to replace a car in a full garage
  • Fixes the exploit allowing players to sell the same vehicle multiple times
  • Fixes an issue where the starting point of the tutorial race doesn’t appear
  • Fixes an issue causing personal vehicles being duplicated
  • Fixes issues with players not getting Crew invites in-game
  • Fixes issues with players getting stuck while using playlists
  • Fixes issues with joining jobs from within a player-owned garage
  • Fixes additional issues causing black screen, long load times, and players getting stuck in the sky cam
  • Add details in the UI to clarify that characters created while Rockstar cloud is unavailable are un-saved
  • Adds changes to the character creator to make better looking characters with the ‘random’ option
  • Players will only lose the maximum of 500 GTA$ upon death in Freemode
