A Grand Theft Auto Online a fan going through the moniker put an investigation into the infamous slow charging time of the game on a computer, with a solution that improved things by up to 70 percent. And Rockstar seems to have attracted attention: the company has confirmed it PC player that solving t0st is legal, and that it will implement their suggestions in a future update of the game.
‘After a thorough investigation, we can confirm that the player first revealed an aspect of the game code related to charging times for the computer version of GTA Online it can be improved, ”the company commented PC player. “As a result of these investigations, we’ve made some changes that will be implemented in an upcoming title update.”
According to the detailed report of t0st explaining the problem and its solution, they were only motivated to investigate the problem after noticing that it took almost six times as long to get started in online mode for car theft than it did the story mode.
After entering the code of GTA Online While it was starting out, T0st determined that a major bottleneck was due to the processing of a 10 MB single-threaded file, which apparently contained a list of every item that could be purchased with the currency in the game. . The solution is twofold: it reduces the time it takes GTA Online to check that list and provides a much more efficient method of checking duplicates using a hash table. Together, t0st’s solutions have managed to reduce the load times from about six minutes to just under two minutes on their test machine, an improvement of about 70 percent.
Rockstar has not yet said when it will implement the game’s updates, but GTA Online fans frustrated by long charging times will hopefully have to see some relief soon.
