One of the biggest issues from the original happens while playing in public lobbies. Youre trying to do quests, maybe go into the Arcade, maybe prep on the submarine, or something else. Someone random in the lobby has a bad connection or slow internet, so youre just given a load screen that never ends. The only way to "fix" this is force quit the game or DC from the internet which takes you to story mode.

Why is this still an issue and why is it still so prevalent? It will happen 3-5 times if you play for a couple hours in public lobbies, The best way to avoid the issue is play in invite only lobbies which sucks because a lot of fun comes from playing in populated servers. Hell its the only reason im playing. To grind for money, play with others to see what cars, clothes, guns, or other stuff they have. Do missions with them and see what happens in between.


They also removed the text chat for some reason? God I hope this isnt foreshadowing of GTA 6.
