GTA V players suffering frame rate issues following recent update

Quite a few Grand Theft Auto V players seem to be suffering from frame rate issues following the recent ‘Ill-Gotten Gains' part two update for the game's online multiplayer mode. Problems are currently being reported on the r/Games Subreddit, with the post getting plenty of upvotes.

Right now it is not known exactly what is causing the problems but the creators of the LCPD mod seem to think that it has something to do with Rockstar's mod protection for Grand Theft Auto Online, which is degrading performance for many players. This claim has not been confirmed so for now it is just one of the theories.

These issues were brought up with Rockstar Support, which claims that the developer is looking in to these issues and working to address them: “We have received reports of lower framerate in GTAV and GTA Online after Title Update 1.28 on PC, and we are looking into these reports now.”

That said, we don't know how long a fix will take, Rockstar Support has not been a great source of information in the past. So if any of you have yet to download the latest Grand Theft Auto V update, you may want to avoid it for the time being.

KitGuru Says: Rockstar's latest update seems to be interfering with performance on a range of PC hardware. Hopefully the development team can get a patch out fairly quick so people can resume playing as normal. Are any of you still playing GTA V or GTA Online? Have you encountered any issues with the game?

  1. The game lags to hell entering the Ammunation stores.

  2. this is like Ubishit.. can’t believe..

  3. Avoid the update? Are you kidding? The Rockstar Social Club Version Auto downloads anything when you run it, there is no choice but to download, and oh, i play primarily online. So i would have no choice but to install the update if i want to continue to play online.

    The lag happens when you fire weapons(or when any weapons fire is going on from what i can tell) and i think it is probably cheat checking that you are not firing money bags out of a minigun(this is how most of the “hackers” are giving people people money, whereas i have only had it star spawning on me from the sky and had to ALT-F4 for close my game as my controls were no working correctly) and from what i can tell it does not matter where or who is firing guns on an online server, i will still get hitching and lag.

    And that really all it is, Hitching and Stuttering of the FPS, my frame rates are great when its not hitching, 70-100 depending on where i am with High-Very High settings, if i get shot at the game stutters while still reporting the same frame rates and with all of a sudden hitch for milliseconds, and continue again, if it was not for the fact this normally happens while driving fast causing crashes or death in some cases, it would be ok, and i could deal with it, but that s not it, if you then get police attention of more than 1 star, and you have helicopters coming for you, my frames take a dump, they are reported to be 45ish, but feel more like 5, all inputs become extremely laggy, even though the game is still reporting 45ish FPS…..

    It use to run perfect, then the first DLC made a slight stutter, now this second DLC has fucked it!

  5. This game used to run like butter, it took an arrow to the knee of patch 1.28 and now it runs like sand paper >.<, on a serious note, theyh need to fix it, this is so bad!

  6. Don’t muck up my game before I even get to play it!
