Earlier this month, a modder discovered a fix for Grand Theft Auto Online’s awful loading times. The game has suffered from lengthy loading screens since launch and as it turns out, some messy code was the root cause. Now, Rockstar is implementing the modder’s fix in the main game, resulting in vastly improved loading times for all PC players. The fix was created by a player that goes by the name ‘t0st’ online. After digging around the game files, they discovered that an unnecessary amount of file checks were being performed each time GTA Online tried to load, aside from that, Rockstar’s implementation only used one CPU core when loading the game, bottlenecking performance further.
