Despite the enormous popularity Grand theft auto online, it has enough technical problems that only get worse over the years – for example, incredibly long downloads.
This is especially true on PC, while on consoles – especially PS5 and Xbox Series – multiplayer loads quite quickly, mostly for a minute or two… On computers, for many, it can take up to 6-10 minutes, although the single mode is in a minute or two.
In short, when you download GTA Online, it starts to compare a 10-megabyte file with 63 thousand entries – it includes everything that can be bought in the game. That is, the more fresh content in the game, the longer this check will take.
But this is only part of the problem, because after verification, a second parsing begins, when each element is checked for uniqueness.
As a result, if the enthusiast calculated correctly, with each download approximately 2 billion operations comparing records – and as noted by T0ST, this is almost completely useless, but it takes an incredibly long time and loads the processor.
The user also solved the problem by bypassing processes during loading – now, instead of checking 63 thousand items, the game checks only one entry, which incredibly speeds up the download. Instead of 6 minutes, GTA Online now loads approximately in 1 minute 50 seconds…
In its material, T0ST left an appeal to Rockstar in the hope that the studio will pay attention to the recording and solve the problem itself – according to the estimates of the enthusiast, it will only take a day for one programmer.
