GTA Online suffers from ridiculously long loading times, as any player can confirm, but a user identified the cause. After more than seven years, developer Rockstar Games will update the game to fix the problem.
A GitHub user who goes by the name t0st wrote on March 1 of an error in GTA Online for the PC that caused long loading times. Rockstar became aware of the issue and will add a fix in an upcoming update for the game, according to PC Gamer.
T0st released a fix on his own Github that improved loading speeds by up to 70%, dropping the time from six minutes to just under two minutes. The culprit was coding that would check a particular 10MB JSON file almost 2 billion times while trying to start the game. T0st said Monday that he received a $10,000 bounty from Rockstar for finding the problem.
