When Grand Theft Auto Online was launched last week, the service was so crowded that many (if not most) players couldn’t actually play the sport. Developer Rockstar issued a patch for the sport within days, but players were still suffering from playability issues. Serious issues inclusive of disappearing characters, network errors, and missing money or experience were making the GTA Online look like a large number for over per week.

Rockstar has now issued one more update for the sport, promising “technical fixes, tweaks, and enhancements” that ought to improve player experiences. Most significantly, Rockstar claims to have fixed the glitches causing characters to vanish. Other fixes include errors that prevented missions from completing, in addition to issues that were causing the sport to never load fully. The full list of fixes from Rockstar’s newswire:

• Fixes multiple issues causing character deletion or other lack of progress
• Fixes issues causing infinite loading, infinite sky cams, and missing interface options between jobs
• Fixes a difficulty causing the “replay” technique to be locked out on certain jobs
• Fixes a subject matter where a player would become stuck within the mod garage when respraying a Sanchez motor bike
• Fixes a controversy where the Player became stuck inside Los Santos Customs during Online tutorial flow
• Fixes a topic causing the lack of guns and ammo
• Fixes issues causing GTA races ending early due to players spawning too far ahead
• Fixes issues in Last Team Standing where sessions does 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 brief character in GTA Online during Rockstar Cloud server outages
• Adjusts the monetary penalty for being killed in a One on One match

The update has already been pushed out for PlayStation 3 owners, and will appear for the Xbox 360 sometime today.

In its blog post, Rockstar also issued an apology to players who had lost characters or progress due to glitches. The developer also strongly means that players save their game before quitting by exiting to the only-player mode of Grand Theft Auto V.
