Updated 10/6/13: We are continuing to investigate the causes of the lost progress and what can be done to minimize the impact until a permanent fix is in place. Also, we have not forgotten about the requests for restoration. We are in the process of determining the options for addressing the issues for those players who have been affected. Please stay tuned for further updates here.

Updated 10/8/13: If you have previously created a character but see an empty character selection screen when entering GTA Online, please back out to GTAV Story Mode and try re-entering GTA Online through the pause menu (repeat or wait until Rockstar cloud servers are back up). Do not create a new character in the empty slot where your character should be. If you receive the message 'The Rockstar Cloud Servers Are Unavailable', please return to GTAV Story Mode and follow the steps above. Please do not press “Retry” on the message and do not proceed online with saving disabled, as this may lead to overwriting your existing character. We apologize for this inconvenience and are working on a permanent fix for these issues

Rockstar Games released their newest title update last night for the Online component Grand Theft Auto V on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. The Patch update addresses some of the latest glitches/exploits found in the game, such as being able to sell the same vehicle multiple times, as well as additional fixes to issues including the extra long or stuck loading times in the Cloud sky cam that some players are still experiencing online.

Most players will be happy to know that the penalty for dying (or getting "wasted") in Free Roam has now been reduced to a maximum 500 GTA$ instead of the extremely dear 2000 GTA$ in medical expenses that we had been paying since the launch of GTA: Online. However, many of the online mission payouts have also been halved or heavily reduced in the game as well (check the current pay rates in this link), although this is not specifically mentioned in the Patch Notes.



Grand Theft Auto: Online 1.04 Title Update for PS3 and Xbox 360:

As promised, this update addresses the remaining issues where some people's vehicles or vehicle modifications were disappearing due to a cloud save failure - as well as all the other fixes mentioned below:

• Fixes numerous issues that were causing vehicle loss and/or loss of vehicle mods
  
• Fixes an issue where the incorrect car is replaced when choosing to replace a car in a full garage
  
• Fixes an exploit allowing players to sell the same vehicle multiple times
  
• Fixes an issue that caused personal vehicles to be duplicated
  
• Fixes an issue where some players were unable to pay utility bills on an owned apartment or house
  
• Fixes an issue where players were not getting Crew invites in-game
  
• Fixes an issue where the starting point for the tutorial race was not appearing
  
• Fixes issues with joining Jobs from within a player-owned garage
  
• Fixes issues with players getting stuck while using playlists
  
• Fixes additional issues causing black screens, long load times, and players getting stuck in the sky cam
  
• Adds details in the UI to clarify that characters created while Rockstar cloud is unavailable are temporary (non-saved)
  
• Adds changes to the character creator to make better-looking default characters with the “random” option
  
• Players now only lose a maximum of 500 GTA$ upon death in Freemode

had some glitches tonight I was driving on invisible/falling off road for a while.  But tbh I think I have got my money worth with just sp alone so GTA O is just amazing!

[Axe99]

The latest patch has hammered my connection ability - got on once in about 10 attempts, and seem to get a different error every time I try (timed out/cloud down/can't use current character....).  Suspect they'll be patching again soon .  It's awesome when I do get online, it's kinda like Burnout Paradise with guns, planes, parachutes and heists .

[Dunny]

I had some games last night and then after returning from a series of races with Doomey got thrown out to the SP and could no longer get online. Kept getting the same series of errors as Axe?

[Jykel]

Yeah yesterday with Doomy, Drags and Harvs, I had a few connection issues, and we always got split up on Freeroaming after a mission, which is a pain in the backside.

Here’s a quick update for all Grand Theft Auto Online players worldwide on what’s in store in the immediate future.

THE GTA$ STIMULUS PACKAGE
We know many of you are anxiously waiting for us to show you the GTA$ Stimulus Package money we announced a couple weeks back. As mentioned in that post, we of course want to ensure that game progress loss issues are sufficiently sorted before distributing the GTA$ to everyone. We have a few more tweaks and fixes to make in a new title update that will hit sometime next week and then we will distribute the cash.

THE BEACH BUM PACK
Coming in early November will be the first add-on content update, the Beach Bum Pack which will bring all-new beach themed vehicles and new weaponry that you’ll be able to use in both GTA Online and Story Mode. Plus new customization options for your GTA Online character including new tats, hairstyles and more. We’ll also be adding lots of brand new action-packed Jobs to play with Gang Attacks, Survivals, Last Team Standings, Parachutes, Deathmatches and Races that will have you bloodying up the waters and coastlines of the finest beach resorts across Los Santos and Blaine County.

THE CONTENT CREATOR
We are also working to bring you the debut of the first part of the GTA Online Content Creator this fall – giving players the ability to craft, publish, rate and play custom-made Deathmatch and Race Jobs. We’ll be keeping our eye open for exceptional ones that we’ll be stamping as ‘Rockstar Verified’ and will be featuring them here at the Newswire and as part of forthcoming GTA Online Social Club Events. Both the Content Creator and the Beach Bum Pack are free.

SOCIAL CLUB EVENT WEEKENDS
Starting in November will be the first Grand Theft Auto Online Social Club Event weekends which will bring special rewards and bonuses ranging from limited-edition in-game Event Crate Drops to in-game discount specials and even a special new GTA Online live-stream show hosted by Rockstar at the Social Club Events page and Rockstar Games Twitch page – plus prize pack giveaways of hard to find GTAV gear and more.

Stay tuned as we hope to have more information with more details and specific timings on these content updates as well as on GTA Online Heists and the new GTA Online Capture the Flag mode to share with you next week. We will also have initial details on more additional content coming for both Story Mode and GTA Online in the next few weeks.

• Built in measures to prevent users from losing their progress when there is a cloud outage
  
• Built in a number of measures to protect players’ cash balances even if there are network problems
  
• Fixed an issue where on rare occasions during network problems the player could lose their Online vehicle or mods after exiting GTA Online

Enjoy and we certainly appreciate your patience and understanding as we sort out these remaining issues.
