Hopefully you’ll all be able to play GTA Online smoothly over the weekend, as Rockstar are set to release another update for the game – to help fix issues preventing players from progressing past the tutorial and to stop the game from deleting characters, presumably.
The patch will be hitting both PS3 and Xbox 360, and Rockstar “hope to have it out for download as soon as tomorrow”, they announced via an update to the post discussing the issues on their newswire.
We’ll keep you updated with what the patch actually addresses – have any of you managed to sink some time into GTA Online without losing your progress or being booted out?

I’ve been playing it a bit today after I was finally able to get into the first race. It stopped working one or twice but I played it for quite a few hours and had quite a bit of fun.

My characters are saved! & Somehow they both have $10,000 in the bank & $3,000 in their pocket, but I still havent been past the intro. 0 hrs 0 mins play time, but $26,000 made ?

Hopefully when that patch is released I will finally be able to get past the first race.

I will just wait until next week to try the Online part.
I still have a lot to do in the story. The game is a killer anyway. I honestly believe that Rockstar have set a new standard in gaming. The details, the scope of the world, the no-loading…we cannot go back after this.

I lost my character 4 times. Twice after the intro and 2 level 7 characters. Both were saved before exiting. Massive cock up from Rockstar but at least they’ve been transparent and worked quickly to address issues.

I hope they resolve the issues with the social club too. Many times I’ve tried taking photos in the single player but it says it’s unable to save as the social club is unavailable. Posting pics to Facebook is broken too…

Maybe its the cynic in me, but i very much doubt this will fix it, i wouldnt be surprised if it caused more issues than it fixed.
One good note for R* is at least they have been actually trying to fix it in a timely fashion with minimal, but actual commentary on them trying too find and address the actual issues, rather than leaving everyone in the dark. Hopefully it will be fixed for my week off work next week.

I’m a bit cynical about it too but I’m hoping it magically becomes perfect. The Online trailer promised so much, I really want it to deliver.

These patches must be costing R* a fortune. Sure hope they can afford it.
Oh wait.

Ha. I reckon I’ve still got no chance of getting on. I’m playing on xbox and they are doing that free gold weekend so the servers are going to get even more hammered.
Still I’m might just sit and stare at the Bawsaq screen all weekend and count the profit I’m making on Piswasser shares! ;) (bought at $5.38 Currently at $22.59) !!!

I think I’ll let others try it first and wait for feedback – nothing worse than spending time progressing, only to lose all that progress! As if some games aren’t already repetitive enough already. I’m happy to play something else for another week and let the initial rush pass.
