'GTA 5' Patch & Update: Rockstar Games Resolve Framerate Issues in Grand Theft Auto Online
Rockstar Games has finally resolved the framerate problems, which several gamers have encountered after installing the Title Update 1.28.
The 1.28 Update arrived in early July to bring the second part of the highly anticipated "Ill-Gotten Gains" expansion pack that includes new weapons, vehicles and clothes. However, shortly after installing the content, users complained about the game's lower framerate.
On Tuesday, the game developer published a post on its support website, announcing that the company has finally resolved the issue that the new update brought. However, it also maintained that the fix might affect certain modifications used in the single player campaign of the game.
According to Game Spot, the creators of the LCPD First Response mod in "GTA 5" accused Rockstar of launching an anti-mod feature in the recent 1.28 Patch. A Facebook post of the modders said that the update affected the LCPD First Response mod, which in turn, becomes as slow as 3-frames-per-second when used.
But Rockstar denied the allegations and maintained that is it not targeting modifications on its recent update.
"We also received some reports linking decreased performance when using Story Mode mods to TU 1.28," stated Rockstar. "As mentioned previously, we are not actively targeting players using mods in Story Mode, nor are we explicitly implementing protections against them in-game."
The developers also stressed that protecting the game and its players from those who might have an "unfair advantage" is their top priority. Rockstar devs added that they remain vigilant over things that can disturb gameplays and cause other troubles in the title especially in the multiplayer mode.
"However, as a reminder, mods are still unauthorized and as such, Title Updates may cause Story Mode mods to behave in unexpected ways because they are not supported or tested, and players run them at their own risk," said the statement on the company's support website.
In May, the developers already addressed reports of players being prevented from using mods. It clarified that the company's stance on modifications has remained the same since "GTA 4."
"No one has been banned for using single player modifications, and you should not worry about being banned or being relegated to the cheater pool just for using single player PC mods," wrote Rockstar in a Q&A session.
"GTA 5" is already out for the PS3, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC.
