Rockstar have released a patch for the PlayStation 3 version of Grand Theft Auto V which fixes one major bug alongside a host of other glitches and tweaks. The Xbox 360 patch is expected today “at the latest”.
The patch “will resolve the cause of players losing gameplay progress except for some specific instances where players purchase a vehicle and the save does not occur due to a cloud save failure.”
Rockstar have also posted some advice to help you minimise the chances of losing your character.
Please always remember to save your game before leaving GTA Online, otherwise you may lose any progress since your last save – this can be done by exiting back to Single Player through the pause menu. Until downloading the title update above and in order to minimize the chances of any further data loss, if at any point you receive the message “Rockstar Cloud Servers are unavailable”, please do not either select the “Retry” option or create a temporary Character to play GTA Online. Instead, you should exit to GTAV Story Mode and try entering GTA Online again through the menu in Story Mode.
Fixes in this title update include:
- Fixes multiple issues causing character deletion or other loss of progress
- Fixes issues causing infinite loading, infinite sky cams, and missing interface options between jobs
- Fixes an issue causing the “replay” option to be locked out on certain jobs
- Fixes an issue where a player would become stuck in the mod garage when respraying a Sanchez motor bike
- Fixes an issue where the Player became stuck inside Los Santos Customs during Online tutorial flow.
- Fixes an issue causing the loss of guns and ammo
- Fixes issues causing GTA races ending early because of players spawning too far ahead
- Fixes issues in Last Team Standing where sessions would not progress past the lobby
- Fixes issues with network errors when joining Last Team Standing using Quick Job
- Added clarifications around when a player is using a temporary character in GTA Online during Rockstar Cloud server outages
- Adjusts the monetary penalty for being killed in a One on One match

It’s been getting better. They seem to finally be getting a handle on things. Even though I lost a character (which I think was due to hitting retry on the cloud outage before they told us not to) I have my replacement beyond where the old one was anyway and I kept my money so it wasn’t too bad.
It’s still hard to get on sometimes but only due to load. The sky camera hanging and loading forever does seem mostly resolved. Occasionally I still get stuck at the ‘return to GTAV and try again later’ screen because pressing x to continue doesn’t work but that’s all really.
I’m having a lot of fun with it though.

Just finished GTA’s 69 story missions this AM and am working on the collectibles now. Now Online seems to be more stable I may be tempted to see what it is all about

This must be the update I installed yesterday, cannot see R* having two updates in the space of 24 hrs.
Good to see it hasn’t taken long to fix all/most of the glitches, unlike Codies with Grid 2.

There might be a 3rd one soon, going inside the apartment/garage as a passenger you will get stuck! The only way is to get out of the vehicle and the driver can enter the garage and buzz the passenger into the apartment.
Other than that is just simply awesome!

So what’s the sixth & seventh??
I am guessing it has to probably be;
Most broken online component
&
Most complaints received about a video game in a week period
