Today is the day that Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto V is complete. On Oct. 1, Rockstar announced that Grand Theft Auto Online, the ever growing online multiplayer portion of GTA V, is now available to players. However, as with most major multiplayer launches, the game is suffering from some server issues, the company shared via the official support site today.
Prior to starting GTA Online, users must first download a small patch to Grand Theft Auto V. Weighing in around 60MB, the download and installation are near instant. Once you finish the installation process, you will then be able to access GTA Online via the game’s main menu via your inventory wheel during the game.
Unfortunately, Grand Theft Auto Online is suffering from some server issues causing problems with the game’s cloud servers, timeout errors for users, and even some freezing concerns. Though problems are present, Rockstar is aware of the problem and is looking to resolve them as quickly as possible.
"We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience while we work to resolve this," reads Rockstar’s support page.
The full range of server issues is the following:
· Occasional "Rockstar Cloud Servers Unavailable" error message
· Freezing sometimes while loading into first race in GTAO with "waiting for other players" on the screen
· Intermittent "Failed to Host a GTA Online Session" error messages
· Race Corona (start area, marker) occasionally not showing up for first race
· Errors saying "Timed out when matchmaking for a compatible GTA Online Session to join"
· Occasional errors about jobs failing to start or load
· General issues with the Social Club site and Social Club features (slow loading, failed logins, emails not arriving, etc).
