The launch of GTA Online yesterday was predictably troubled, with the majority of players reporting server issues, game crashes and other odd bugs and glitches.
Fortunately, Rockstar is working on resolving a few of the more prominent issues as quickly as possible, updating its support blog with a list of the problems they’re tackling right at this very moment. The bugs they are fixing are as follows:
- Occasional “Rockstar Cloud Servers Unavailable” error message.
- Freezing sometimes while loading into first race in GTA Online with “waiting for other players” on the screen.
- Intermittent “Failed to Host a GTA Online Session” error messages.
- Race Corona (start area, marker) occasionally not showing up for first race.
- Errors saying “Timed out when matchmaking for a compatible GTA Online Session to join”.
- Occasional errors about jobs failing to start or load.
- General issues with the Social Club site and Social Club features (slow loading, failed logins, emails not arriving, etc).
- Misc. network and server-related error messages, disconnections, or cloud server errors.
- Errors saying “Mission Failed” as soon as the mission begins during a session.
Additionally, Rockstar apologised for “any inconvenience” the problems may have caused players, adding: “[we] thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this.”
Personally, it comes as no surprise that GTA Online has teething issues given how ambitious it is, and I’ll just be happy to play it whenever Rockstar irons out these issues. However, those who are complaining should be reminded that there’s a pretty huge single-player game in the form of Grand Theft Auto V that you can keep yourself occupied with in the meantime.
