There appears to be an intermittent bug one of the new Grand Theft Auto Online heist missions which is stopping some players from completing the task.
During “The Fleeca Job” Heist finale Lester will tell you to drive towards the bridge to escape. You will also have to locate a large magnet on the Cargobob. However, some people are reporting the magnet is missing and they cannot conclude the heist. Rockstar say they are “currently looking into this issue”.
There has also been a small update to the game, Title Update 1.22 (PS3/Xbox 360) and 1.08 (PS4/Xbox One), which “Fixes for GTA Online to improve stability, and other minor fixes for both GTA Online and Story Mode.”
The PlayStation patch is live now, the Xbox versions should be on the servers very shortly.

I had a bug where, if the network failed we’d rejoin and try again but I’d have no in-world sound. I could still here the lads in Party Chat and I could even hear the in-game menu sound effects but none of the actual driving, pedestrian banter, ambient fx. Just the HUD sounds and that’s it. Weird. Happened several times.

Very odd.
I had this weird bug where I couldn’t play the game online for about two days. Something to do with poor planning and a server to user ratio… It was weird!

On a serious note. The match making needs to be improved for the heists, I’ve found it virtually impossible to get a heist going. Seems to only send out about 20 invites. I’ll get one join then they will leave because they won’t wait. Unless I have at least 1 or 2 friends already in the lobby. But even then we’ve waited for up to 20 minutes waiting for someone else to join. I’ve resulted to adding people that I’ve played heists with that have had a mic so hopefully will give us a chance to do some more heists. I’ve only done the first two and it took about 4 hours. 70% of the time was waiting in lobbys.
