The second major title update for Grand Theft Auto Online was released today on PlayStation 3, aiming to address lost game progress issues and technical bugs, among other things. Rockstar Games expects the patch to be available on Xbox 360 by tomorrow, October 10, "at the latest."

"This title update will resolve the cause of players losing their gameplay progress except for some specific instances where players purchase a vehicle and the save does not occur due to a cloud save failure," Rockstar Games said on its website. "A fix for that particular issue is being worked on and we will provide an update as soon as we know when this will be resolved."

A full list of issues that the title update aims to address is below.

  • Fixes multiple issues causing character deletion or other loss of progress

  • Fixes issues causing infinite loading, infinite sky cams, and missing interface options between jobs

  • Fixes an issue causing the "replay" option to be locked out on certain jobs

  • Fixes an issue where a player would become stuck in the mod garage when respraying a Sanchez motor bike

  • Fixes an issue where the Player became stuck inside Los Santos Customs during Online tutorial flow.

  • Fixes an issue causing the loss of guns and ammo

  • Fixes issues causing GTA races ending early because of players spawning too far ahead

  • Fixes issues in Last Team Standing where sessions would not progress past the lobby

  • Fixes issues with network errors when joining Last Team Standing using Quick Job

  • Added clarifications around when a player is using a temporary character in GTA Online during Rockstar Cloud server outages

  • Adjusts the monetary penalty for being killed in a One on One match

"We apologize for the problems some players have been experiencing with lost characters or game progress due to this issue," Rockstar said. "Please stay tuned for updates as we continue to investigate this."

In the meantime, Rockstar said players should remember to save their game before leaving GTA Online, or else they run the risk of losing progress made since their last save. This can be done by exiting to the single-player menu.

"Until downloading the title update above and in order to minimize the chances of any further data loss, if at any point you receive the message 'Rockstar Cloud Servers are unavailable,' please do not either select the 'Retry' option or create a temporary Character to play GTA Online," Rockstar said. "Instead, you should exit to GTAV Story Mode and try entering GTA Online again through the menu in Story Mode."

GTA Online's first major title update was released last week.

"Fixes issues causing infinite loading, infinite sky cams, and missing interface options between jobs."

The thing is, now this is even worse for me than before the update (Xbox). Happened like 3 times in a 2 hour session and I had to go back to the dashboard. Fortunately I'm not running into a lot of issues like that, but it looks like this problem isn't completely solved.

Losing stuff sucks but can you complain when it's free? No not at all. Imagine Rockstar is the UN and you a poor immigrant waiting to be fed and given water. Are you going to complain when Rockstar told you there are bugs and you are knowingly playing the online version of game anyway? Anyhow a friend told me that if I go online, not to modify any vehicles I get because all the modifications disappear

No need to report this. I'm quite sure every time someone logs in, they'll get an update.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Tough. It never should have been what it was before anyway. People farming the same mission over and over to get everything and then coming here to complain because they are bored and have nothing to do is a bigger issue.

    These are not fixed. Also new issues arise such as system hang when switching between TV channels to check on players or weasel news. Good job as always R*.

Doesn't say anything about randomly getting booted because "the players voted to kick you" when I fully know that isn't the case. If I went around killing everyone I'd believe that, but when I'm driving down the road, hosting a lobby, or am in the middle of a gang war and that happens I know it's not me being kicked

I'm glad a patch wasn't delivered to XBL yesterday, because I farmed a mission with friends last night that took 30 sec and got me $25,000 and 4,300 RP every time. Now I'm sitting with a pretty Entity XF, bachelor pad and a ton of fully modded guns.

I know it is a computer game which has generated over $1 billion in sales in the two or so weeks since it was released. << LINK REMOVED >>

Interesting times we live in. The rise of indies. The dominance of mega studios. All at the same time. It's a great time to be a gamer. << LINK REMOVED >>

AHHHH...the POWER of the "cloud"!!!! The power of M$ 300k servers!!!!!! LOL Oh ya....the "future" of gaming is looking great!!!! If they cant get current gen games to fucking work properly, next gen cloud/online gaming looks like a shitty future. Take a step back and stop pushing this lame ass future of always online and cloud gaming. It doesn't work as well as it should. Hence, I prefer physical discs and I only connect to the net for an update if ever.

<< LINK REMOVED >> Take a step back and read through your comment, please. This, "have it your way" mentality that you've been spoiled by scares me. Just because something doesn't work perfectly the first time you want no one to be able to leverage/utilize it. At least, I can tell by this post that you're very young - or, god I'm hoping like hell you are. If you're older than you've got a lot to learn about patience. Just remember this going into the future: If something is easy then its almost always not worth doing.

Also, a game thats been pushed on the ps3 as hard as the xbox (or harder) has nothing to do with MS servers. The issues are present across both consoles.

<< LINK REMOVED >><< LINK REMOVED >> I took 2 steps back. Don't be scared. Spoiled???? To expect a product to WORK AS ADVERTISED????? It's so weird how people defend shit that doesn't work. I only mentioned M$ 300k DEDICATED servers, because I see so many people saying how GREAT they are, but they mean nothing if the game/cloud isn't working properly. As I said, I don't game online...I don't care about Sony's online service either. Also as I said, I connect for updates only, or to download a game from PSN. I have a 360, I don't hate M$, I hate xbone. :)

Huge corporations that spend hundreds of millions/billions of dollars on technology, and have been in the tech business for decades, SHOULD KNOW HOW TO MAKE THE INTERNET WORK!!!! LMAO. I'm in my 40s. I'm not spoiled, I want to pay for a product and have it work properly. If it doesn't, I return it. Common sense. If people want to be "patient" on broken new tech, good for you. Enjoy not playing GTA V, Final Fantasy and whatever other online games that don't work. Would you be so forgiving if you bought the latest-greatest CAR and it was broken down for the 1st week????????? Be patient....the tech at the dealer will fix it eventually...here's an 86 Ford Tempo for you to drive for a week. At least you get a loaner car for your broken car. What do you get for your broken games???? Reach down and see if you got a pair....You are a bitch to suck up to R* and make excuses for them. :)

i have the X360 version too. didn't had much problems with it. aside of having some random freezing and unable to load back to a session when i finished a mission. the fact that i don't enjoy it as much because i haven't found a good crew i can join. most of the servers i join, there's allot of grievers. thats why i usually have passive mode on. but sadly it only works on foot. so even if I'm in a car they still kill me and i can't fight back when i have passive mode on. Rockstar needs to fix this asap.

I'm not really enjoying GTA Online, probably because I haven't found a decent crew to hang with. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to some single player DLC in a few months.
