t0st adds that “I did try asking for more technical details but they couldn’t say anything. In a new update to that post, t0st says he “just got awarded $10k” through Rockstar’s bug bounty programme, which is normally used only for major security issues. In his original findings, t0st wrote: “If this somehow reaches Rockstar: the problems shouldn’t take more than a day for a single dev to solve. In the most basic terms, t0st reported that there’s a single-thread CPU bottleneck when GTA Online starts loading up, and the game spends ages reading redundant information from a JSON file that doesn’t have much reason to exist. More specifically, GTA Online has an insane loading time of up to six minutes on most PC hardware (possibly more on slower PCs), which is absurd given how old the game is. Instead, that loading time fix is getting officially implemented in an upcoming patch.

#Gta online loading time mod
One modder discovered a way to reduce those loading times by 70%, and it seems Rockstar has taken notice – thankfully, this time it’s not just to shut down the mod in question. Rockstar will make tens of millions of additional revenue from increased player retention over the years (GTA Online is a massive cash cow, it is pretty much the original hyper-monetized game-as-a-service as a continues to fountain cash to this day), slow load times are an extremely commonly cited reason for marks (excuse me, customers) leaving. Rockstar Games has announced that the fan-made solution to the lengthy load times that impact GTA Onlines PC version will be officially implemented in a future update.

That’s true of GTA V proper, and it’s extra true of GTA Online. GTA Online players are used to long waiting periods between matches or when starting a new session. Grand Theft Auto V‘s load times are ridiculous. GTA Online fans have always had a problem with the long load times in the game.
