GTA 5’s Latest Patch Fixes Framerate Issues on PC

Rockstar has released a new patch for Grand Theft Auto 5 on the PC that aims to fix low framerate issues that players have been experiencing since the latest update. The framerate took a hit with the introduction of the Ill-gotten Gains DLC that came out a few days ago. 

Sized at 91mb, the patch is available to download now on the PC through Steam and players who've been experiencing framerate drops should notice a big difference in how the game performs. Unfortunately, some single-player mods will be affected by the release of the patch and may not be fully compatible, so you'll have to download updates for those once the modders patch them up.

“We also received some reports linking decreased performance when using Story Mode mods to TU 1.28. As mentioned previously, we are not actively targeting players using mods in Story Mode, nor are we explicitly implementing protections against them in-game,” said Rockstar.

“Our primary focus is on protecting GTA Online against modifications that could give players an unfair advantage, disrupt gameplay, or cause griefing. However, as a reminder, mods are still unauthorized and as such, Title Updates may cause Story Mode mods to behave in unexpected ways because they are not supported or tested, and players run them at their own risk.”
