On Tuesday, game developer Rockstar reportedly rolled out a new update for "Grand Theft Auto 5" to address the frame rate issues that caused gamers to experience a noticeable lag in the video game's performance since patch 1.28 was released. The update, however, does not contain other improvements and fixes, an IGN report said.
According to IGN, Rockstar has confirmed that single players of "Grand Theft Auto 5" with campaign mods will be affected with the recent update. It, however, stressed that the video game's reported performance drop had been fixed.
"We also received some reports linking decreased performance when using Story Mode mods to TU 1.28. As mentioned previously, we are not actively targeting players using mods in Story Mode, nor are we explicitly implementing protections against them in-game," said Rockstar as quoted in the aforementioned report.
"Our primary focus is on protecting GTA Online against modifications that could give players an unfair advantage, disrupt gameplay, or cause griefing. However, as a reminder, mods are still unauthorized and as such, Title Updates may cause Story Mode mods to behave in unexpected ways because they are not supported or tested, and players run them at their own risk," continued Rockstar.
Eurogamer reported that players have encountered the problem after an update was made in the video game. The title update released by Rockstar has reportedly fixed the issue. However, the company further explained that the situation with "GTA 5" and mods, as Rockstar claimed, was "not intentional."
"Recent updates to 'GTA5' PC had an unintended effect of making unplayable certain single-player modifications," Rockstar explained at the time. "This was not intentional. We have always appreciated the creative efforts of the PC modding community and we still fondly remember the awesome zombie invasion mod and original GTA map mod for GTA 4 PC among many other classics," stressed Rockstar as quoted in the same website.
