Details of the new GTA Online patch & when the first 250k package is coming:
The death penalty has been reduced from $2000 dollars to just $500 dollars. Other fixes include exploit that allowed you to sell the same vehicle multiple times, a bug that caused personal vehicles to be duplicated, and random loss of your vehicle and or vehicle mods.
Online connectivity problems like getting stuck while using playlists, black screens, long load times, and getting stuck in sky cam have also been patched. They also improved the character creator so there are better-looking default characters when using the "random" option.
In order “to keep the current worldwide in-game economy balanced,” Rockstar announced last week that a double dose of
stimulus package deposits worth $250,000 in GTA$ each would be given to
Grand Theft Auto Online players, with the first deposit expected by the end of this week.
Clearly it hasn’t arrived yet, so Rockstar posted an update on their website about the lack of funds in people’s accounts:
"Hey guys, in regards to questions about the first deposit of GTA$. We’re aiming to make the first deposit of $250,000 in all players accounts early next week once we’ve confirmed that any remaining game progress issues have been fixed for the community in this latest title update. Thanks for understanding and stay tuned to the Newswire for more details."
