Have you managed to play Grand Theft Auto Online yet? The hotly anticipated online expansion for Grand Theft Auto V has been suffering some serious issues ever since it launched yesterday, with many players unable to even eschew the clunky character creation screen. To its credit, publisher Rockstar Games has been providing fairly regular updates on the title’s status. It's a shame, though, that the release's list of known bugs appears to have grown overnight.
“We are continuing to look into these issues and are working around the clock on resolving them as quickly as possible,” a flustered representative explained earlier this morning. “This includes close monitoring of our Support systems, forums, social media, and in-game data to measure traffic along with Community sentiment to ensure ongoing improvements to stability.”
You can peruse the full rundown of bugs through here. Considering the scale of the component’s collapse, we’re going to assume that it’s going to be a while before you’re actually playing without any hiccups. We pondered the nature of these online debacles overnight, as they only appear to be getting more and more common.

Nice to see that they are working on getting it up and running. I honestly dont think it will be up by the weekend.
"Freezing," "general issues," "misc server and network related errors," ...
That's a big honey-do list. But hey, they chose to release it. Too bad for... us, I guess, cause they already have our $1billion.
The online component is an extra function.....I'm not fussed if it doesn't work, it's not what I bought the game for. I bought it for the main game, and barring the issue with disappearing cars, awkward controls and clunky shooting it was worth the money I paid.
I've been playing it for a few hours today once you can join the first race your in, i also didn't notice any lag which surprised me. It's a lot better from yesterday for me, no freezing being able to actually play it etc & i never got kicked or anything. So for me its a massive improvement from yesterday.
I was pretty excited for online. Idk if it's the anticipation or what but oddly I'm now more excited to finally be able to play. That said.. This is utterly frustrating, and I hope other companies take note and plan ahead of time for situations such as this.
