Since Tuesday’s initial roll out of Grand Theft Auto Online, Rockstar are aware that a variety of technical difficulties have made it difficult to get access and that the experience has been a bit less than smooth for many of you who jumped in straight away, so here are a few updates as of this afternoon to keep you all apprised.
At the Rockstar Games Support site, there is a dedicated article listing out the most common technical issues being reported. Things are changing and developing frequently but here are some latest updates as of this afternoon:
- For PlayStation 3 users, a PlayStation Network server issue was detected that was limiting the amount of possible concurrent users. This was preventing most players from accessing GTA Online altogether and as of this morning, that problem was resolved.
- There is an issue that is preventing some players from getting through the first tutorial mission across both platforms. Many players have been able to get through this with repeated retries, and Rockstar are working on unblocking this for everyone as soon as possible.
- This morning, we experienced some instability across the GTA Online services which is affecting even people who have progressed beyond the tutorial mission. We are identifying these issues now and are working to restore stability for users as soon as possible.
- For the time being and until we have been able to get everybody access to GTA Online and things are running smoothly, we have disabled the option of purchasable GTA$ cash packs. Players can however keep on earning GTA$ by pulling off Jobs and other profitable gameplay activities rather than purchasing cash packs.

Old news.not a rant at journalist Done tutorial 3 times cannot save data to cloud message then crashes on launching online swirlly. No reply from rockstar- surely pre order sales give a representation of month 1 sales players dont want apologies they want soloutions. Responsability to give us compensation as it does not do perform to a way in which it was sold. The cover had no warning online content was late. Feel decieved my money was faithfully paid baring rights to give me access to all content.
Hope rockstar have looked at accountabilty and hope the person ultimatly responsible makes a public apology.

Big money bussiness should not allow monumental faliures like this to affect customer opinion. My opinion has definitely changed. After all the talk of understanding what the customer wantsyhey failed to deliver
