#GTA ONLINE IDLE TIMER FULL#

The full story has been handily transformed into something approaching layman's terms by Digital Foundry's Will Judd, but the quick version is that a quirk of GTA Online's loading processes saw it performing nearly 2 billion (largely pointless) item checks before each game.

ORIGINAL STORY 15/3/21: Rockstar has confirmed it'll be releasing an update that officially implements a recent fan-made fix to reduce Grand Theft Auto Online's painfully long load times by up to 70 percent.ДЄt the tail-end of February, a programmer going by the name of t0st did a little probing into GTA Online's notoriously protracted load times - ones that can leave players waiting upward of five minutes to start a game - and made a number of fascinating discoveries. 'Just got awarded $10k through their H1 in-game bounty as an exception :)) (usually only for security issues)' t0st wrote in an update to his blog.ДЄs confirmed below, Rockstar has said it will make t0st's fix official.

UPDATE 16/3/21, 9.26am: GTA Online fan t0st has now said his efforts to cut the game's PC load times have earned him a $10k bounty. 'Thanks to t0st for his contributions around this part of today's title update', says Rockstar. The fix arrives as part of GTA 5's Title Update 1.53 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC, which - as detailed on Rockstar's support site - includes general network connectivity improvements alongside better load times specifically for players on PC. If you minimize the window to tab away and chat it Discord or check your Facebook or whatever, the game still considers you to be AFK even if your character is watching TV, so you will get kicked after 15 minutes.UPDATE 16/3/21, 7.07pm: Just a day after confirming it would be officially implementing a fan-made fix to reduce Grand Theft Auto Online's load times by up to 70 percent on PC, Rockstar has announced the update is now live. Note that there is a catch on the PC version. Players with upgraded security in their business or bunker can also watch the CCTV security cameras as well. The game considers you to be engaged in an activity and you won't get kicked for doing nothing over an extended period. Sit down on a couch or chair and tap the button to turn the TV shows on. Just head into your apartment, garage, or any location with a computer screen like the gas station. You have to actually press the button to start the shows though, or you will still get kicked.Дepending on your platform and your console's notification settings, this can potentially work with any TV even if you aren't in a mission. The most sure fire way to make this work (and avoid getting killed by other players) is to start a contact solo mission, then sit down and turn on the TV in your apartment where you are safe. Yep, that's all there is to it, although you need to watch TV in certain ways or you may still get kicked. Going AFK Without Getting Kicked In GTA Online There is one super simple and easy way to do it, and it doesn't require anything special beyond your apartment. Players have come up with some pretty ingenious ways to not get kicked, like using a rubber band to hold down a controller button, but that's prone to unexpected failures and way more effort than we care to engage in while playing.
