Is it me or did the game become much more laggier and buggy than it used to be.

[Haokizaru]

The servers have always been laggy and the game was always filled with bugs, however, since the lastest updates, it seems like these issues have reached another level.

 

I joined the diamond casino heist 6 times today and 3 times out of those 6 me and some teammates got spawned under the map in a bugged location.

 

I have a very good pc and great optical fiber connection, i live near europe and yet i keep getting put in lobbies with south american people, i had to use a VPN and fake my location to switzerland in order to play with european players.

 

It's almost impossible to invite people to join you org or biker club, the playerlist keeps disppearing and when you finally can send the invites, most of the times they disappear.

 

Loading screens have always been very long in this game but lately, when i 1st open the game and join gta online it can take 5-10 minutes to load into a lobby, only to be stuck in a loading screen like 30 minutes after and have to restart the game and go through the process again.

 

WTF is happening, do you guys have the same issues ?

[GTAMamba]

Nope noticed it too, the servers have been on and off since Friday.

 

That said my MTU is always at 750 so I figured that might have something to do with it.

It's definitely more laggy, especially if you're in a full-ish session.

I don't know what you playing on but on Ps4 it is. 

Just witnessed it. 

Got a lot of delay while requesting vehicles, starting ceo jobs etc. 

 

Sorry Aliens, this pisses me of, y'all gotta die..

Well looking at how much content is shoved into this game that is running on a decades old engine which was build up to be used on last gen consoles which can date back to 2008, it's no surprise to see that the game is barely holding itself together nowadays.

 

Current gen players now are having the same experience that they had playing in last gen, with freezes, scripts not working as intended, lag spikes, FPS drops and connection errors.

 

It's a very clear indicator to me that this game needs to be put to rest already and we should be having, at least, some official news of the next game.

Engine cant take it anymore. Remember this was originally built on last gen hardware.

Even though it's not perfect in GTA and it has many many issues, i've seen a lot of games that have much bigger problems with the engine (Fallout 76 omegalul). The servers though, it's real f*cking shame given how profitable the game is, maybe they should make servers region based and redesign how a lot of stuff works like matchmaking, the lobby host system and a lot of other stuff.

 

Edit: to be more precise, in a era where batlle royale games run 150 players in a lobby with little to no flaws, it's a shame that a game like GTA can't even handle 10 player lobbies properly.

Yes it’s shockingly bad. Game is jerkier than jerk chicken.

My guess is that this is (or definitely should be) one of Rockstar's top priorities.

 

We've all heard the talk about dedicated servers for years, haven't we? And now is the time to ditch peer-to-peer networking and get hundreds of people together in the same session. Also, the current griefing imbalances need to be addressed to stop heavily populated lobbies from being unplayable, and if Rockstar don't address such issues then they will fall even further behind the current multiplayer curve.

 

This is why a fresh GTA game is essential to give us a new start and to address major networking issues.

With all of the updates and DLCs, GTA is probably being held together with duct tape and super glue.

Your giving R* way too much credit, they’re way too cheap for duct tape much less super glue.  As anyone can see they use old chewing gum & rusty bailing wire.

I'm noticing the loading times are painful when entering and exiting things like the MOC and Terrorbyte. Or when exiting from the R/C Bandit car back to regular Freemode. What is worse is that in a full lobby, your exit from interior areas is generally right at the back of the queue of other things happening i.e.

 

xxx<kryzm>xxx died

IAMAN00B1234567 left

----MAFIAKILLA---- died

Edward_PooPants4599 died

OO EYEBUMDURMUM OO left

loading

loading

5 minutes later

loading

Oh you want to exit now?

Okay there you go
