ScarecrowES Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I have a great broadband connection... or at least it's fast enough and reliable enough to almost never let me down with anything I want to do... except play GTA Online. Getting into missions, or hell, even staying online for more than 10 minutes at a time is next to impossible on a good day. Since the update, it's even worse. Right now, I can't even log in... keeps timing out. Getting into heists is ridiculously difficult. Getting people to join your heist hosting session so... you know... you don't immediately lose progress right after a mission is also next to impossible. I know most people are out there playing heists right now, so finding 3 other people to do a mission shouldn't be hard, but the game only wants to invite the 5 other people in my session. This game is so stupid sometimes. theGTAking101 and xXRobbie98Xx 2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/774055-could-this-be-the-end-for-gta-v/#findComment-1067114580 Share on other sites More sharing options...

This game is so stupid sometimes. Yes I'm in the same boat as you. Even before the heists I would join a server and find myself getting kicked "due to unknown error" about 15 minutes later. And now that the heists are out if I'm lucky enough to get into a server, it's a server with about 5 people who don't join your heist invites. I also apparently don't have any matched players when I click "invite from matched players".

Gareth Alan Willmer Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 The funny thing is they never even added an optional single player version of the heists and extra content.

Ghost XB Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 I actually am starting to think its not R*'s fault (ikr). I was home sick today (I was actually sick, stomach flu) and at around 10am - 2pm eastern time I could access GTA Online with no issues at all. At around after 2pm et however, the servers started to get slow and I could barely access GTA Online. At around 2pm et, most kids at the USA are out of school, and most adults are out of work a bit after that so the network traffic increases. Ex (This is in a much smaller scale then GTA's servers actual capacity and power) at 1pm et there are 100,000 people online. The servers can handle this. At 4pm et everyones out of school and work and there are 1,000,000 people online, and the servers cannot handle this, so there starts to be glitches and bugs and people keep getting kicked because theres an overflow of people trying to get online at the same time, similar to a DDoS attack. Once heists gets old (or a week passes and people get bored) i'm pretty sure the server usage will be normal again and people will be able to play heists again. I should be a R* employee, I'd be perfect. Vote #Shr3ddz4RSEmployee. Post that all around the interwebs. The funny thing is they never even added an optional single player version of the heists and extra content. They could of used the AI system for the other people involved and used storyline characters from the previous heists in single player. This would of removed the stress on the servers and could of avoided this disaster. They added other DLC's like highlife to SP but there were still tons of people on Online enstead of SP. To be fair its called Grand Theft Auto Online: Heists so... igotskiz and schafter 2 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/774055-could-this-be-the-end-for-gta-v/#findComment-1067114651 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commander S Posted March 12, 2015 Share Posted March 12, 2015 (edited) I reckon it's at least time to take a break from the game until R* sorts it out - at the very least the game's often unplayable, and worse still, character progress (appearance, crew rank, money, etc.) is getting scrambled. Just had a report of someone's entire profile (both characters, and everything attached) being wiped - yeah, it's probably recover-able, but still. Basically, the Heist update* turned GTAO into a game of Russian roulette - and I'm not playing, thankyouverymuch. Going to sit it out, get on with other games, and keep tabs on the latest patch info and hotfixes, but avoid playing until it's confirmed to be safe enough to go in, and not lose ...nearly a year and a half's time, effort and gameplay progress. *and I do reckon it's to do with the new content, not just 'high volumes of players' - lots of players and stress on the servers doesn't explain the various save-data glitches like the mask/appearance bug. I'd guess it's more to do with how much of the Heists stuff now turns the two games/maps into distinctly separate entities - all the reworked areas on the map (like the apartment/garage entrances) aren't carried over into single-player, so when switching from GTAV to Online, it can't just load player assets into the same, unchanged map anymore. Instead, it's got to load the 'GTAO version', and I suspect it's all these fundamental changes to the way the game operates that are screwing things up - much like how there were severe problems with everything right back at launch in 2013.

Prizrak Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Just the amount of strain being put on the servers at the moment should be enough to show you that Grand Theft Auto: Online is as popular as its ever been. People that haven't played the game in months are getting back on to finally play heists, and with the PC version coming out in a short while that will bring a whole new community into the fold. So I don't think its the end, if it managed to drag on for almost 2 years I think it can last a little longer.

igotskiz Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) It was said in another thread by another user (I forgot which), but the Heists are fine, it's that the servers are overloaded. So many people trying to do the same thing at one time. It's a non-malicious DDoS attack. While I jump on the GTAVisbroken bandwagon sometimes, you gotta feel for Rockstar on server issues, which isn't inherently their fault. They make the game, but the servers aren't personally maintained by them.

iiitscharlie Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 That's just idealistic, friend. Most launch days come with the occasional hick-up and because only 3 days have gone by, it's expected to still be experiencing them. Once the problem has been fixed, everything will be back to normal. I've been playing this game on both PS3 and PS4 since their release days, every single day without fail and the only major experiences I've had that made the game unplayable were certain days the servers were down and that's it. It's normal to have a moan and feel cheated out of your enjoyment. I know how you feel. We've all waited a year and a half for this, but in a few weeks, this will be a small memory and everything will be plain sailing.
