GTA 5 publisher Rockstar Games is planning to release a new update for the PC version to address severe bugs and issues reported by data miners. The bug was causing players to get kicked out of multiplayer lobbies and crash their games for no apparent reason.

A recent report by data miners assured players that the gaming studio intends to fix the issue in the coming weeks with new patch updates for the game.


Rockstar Games will release a new GTA 5 update with fixes and new additions

On December 30, 2022, popular Rockstar Games informer Tez2 shared a tweet informing players that a new exploit was found on the PC version of GTA 5 and its multiplayer variant. According to him, modders and hackers can crash players' games and kick them out of any multiplayer session.

The bug is so pervasive that it can cause the Story Mode game to crash and force players to exit even private multiplayer sessions. Modders can remotely ruin anyone's game even if they are not in the session.

On the same day, Tez2 reported that Rockstar Games is aware of the issue and will address it as soon as possible.

On January 12, 2023, the informant shared another tweet revealing that the gaming company will release a new patch update for GTA 5 and GTA Online to address the Kick and Crash exploits on PC.

While no release date for the patch has been announced yet, PC players can expect it within the next few weeks.

Tez2 posted a screenshot of the game's change list created by Rockstar Games. Players can see a change in the build ID from 10107212 to 10300531 and some other technical changes in the image below:

While the exploit is still active in the game and can affect anyone, Tez2 advised players to use a firewall service to block unwanted and harmful connections to protect themselves from modders and hackers.
