Rockstar working on GTAV Social Club, companion app issues

Following the long-awaited launch of Grand Theft Auto V this week, the game's Social Club and iFruit iOS app have encountered various issues. In an update on the Rockstar Games Support Page, the developer said it is aware of these problems and is working to resolve them.

The issues with GTAV's Social Club are related to networking hardware/services. Rockstar said users can log into the Support Site and click Subscribe to receive an automatic email notification when the issues are resolved.

Problems with the iFruit app for GTAV include login errors, endless loading spinners, and the app appearing to reset data. "Rest assured that we are working to resolve this as quickly as possible," Rockstar said.

GTAV launched yesterday for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. The game is expected to outpace sales of 2008's Grand Theft Auto IV and generate $1 billion during its first month, according to one analyst.
