Big difference for me. Easily cut the load time in half or slightly better.

Now if they could just do something about all the server hacks...
DEI hire? Oh how cute, you think you found a way of being a racist without sounding racist. That's adorable!

I just tried, it works really well.
I tried playing on saturday but the loading times were horrible even with GTA being on a M.2. NVME with a 100mbps fiber optic connection.

Only 10,000 for a pretty significant performance increase for one of the most popular games of all time? Worth literally billions, probably?

He should have gotten $100,000 minimum.

But 't0st' is probably young enough to think $10k is decent money for this kind of fix, oh well.

I'd hate to have Rockstar bankrupt itself giving this guy what they actually owe him.

That's wild. Why did it take R* so long?
Incompetence.

They had to have noticed how inefficiently the game loads from the start.
They obviously didn't notice since it took them 7 years to fix it and only after an annoyed consumer did 99% of the work for them.

They obviously didn't use any profiling tools to see why their game was taking so fucking long to load.

Man, I’m glad the guy who found the solution got paid. So often, modders get jack shit for their efforts to make a game significantly better than the devs made it.

Valve used to hire them when they weren't stagnant. IIRC Epic did on occasion, too. Seem to remember the Urban Terror guys getting hired by Epic at some point

Rockstar gives no shits about the PC product as long as they get their microtransaction income. GTA4 was the new Crysis with how it ran on PC, except it didn't look half as good
