GTA Online players report multiple issues on last-gen systems after a recent background update

Rockstar Games has recently released a new background update for GTA Online, and like most of the game's hidden updates, this one seeks to fix various bugs regarding cutscenes that players have completed. Unfortunately, this update has also created many problems.

This background update was released on May 10, and there is not much known about what exactly the update was planning to fix and introduce at first, as there was no announcement about it.

But since this update went live, players on PC/PS4/Xbox One are experiencing several weird issues and bugs. This has not been the case for players playing the game on PS5/Xbox Series.

GTA Online latest background update creates bugs and glitches for players

It was later reported that one of the fixes specifically aimed to remove a bug during Cris Formage's death cutscene, which GTA Online players see when they die the first time in the game.

Players were hoping that with this update, Rockstar would also fix the invisible wall glitch at the airport, bugged job invites, broken bookmarks, and playlists, but that does not seem to be the case for this update.

The most common issue players are facing is that they are forced to replay all the mission tutorials and rewatch all the old cutscenes.

Players are also getting unnecessary waypoints that prevent them from doing anything else. Also, when they reach those waypoints, they find nothing there.

But this is just the tip of the iceberg for these bugs that started appearing after the update. There is no recognizable pattern yet for these bugs except for some similar problems that we mentioned earlier.

Some players are even experiencing bugs in the GTA 5 single-player mode. Switching characters is taking a long time, and bugs are even found in the director's mode, where players are having difficulty shortlisting actors.
