Rockstar Games have released a background patch for GTA Online following the recent big A Safehouse in the Hills update. The company have responded to various issues which came as part of this summer’s GTA Online DLC and also improved the mission creator.
Some fans have a little frustrated with some issues but luckily Rockstar have been able to act quick on a number of them. The turnaround time was less than 48 hours.
Background updates from Rockstar fix issues without the need of downloading an update. It is all handled server side. This is a routine occurrence after a new GTA Online update so nothing out of the ordinary here.
