GTA V : le patch 1.23 / 1.09 règle des bugs et ajoute des options à GTA Online

Les joueurs de GTA V ont crié au scandale récemment après le déploiement de la mise à jour 1.08 sur PS4 et Xbox One ayant réduit la qualité des graphismes du jeu. Rockstar Games s'est donc empressé de communiquer sur le sujet pour préciser qu'il s'agissait d'une erreur, et que le problème serait corrigé prochainement. Dans la foulée, voici qu'un nouveau patch est mis en ligne, sans pour autant régler ce souci.

Numéroté 1.09 sur PS4 et Xbox One, et 1.23 sur PS3 et Xbox 360, ce patch corrige en revanche bon nombre de bugs, qu'il s'agisse de problèmes graphiques (erreur d'animation pour le lancement d'une grenade, d'affichage des véhicules....), d'affichage de l'interface, ou encore de gameplay. En plus de ces divers correctifs, certains ajouts ont été apportés au mode en ligne à savoir une option sur le tableau de gestion des braquages permettant de rapidement rejoindre l'un d'eux en tant que membre de l'équipe, ainsi qu'une fonction de matchmaking dans les lobbies gérés par le chef de groupe, ainsi que la possibilité pour les joueurs ayant été invités de faire de même à leur tour avec leurs propres amis.

Ci-dessous le changelog au complet en anglais :

New Features / Updates

• Changes have been made to the Matchmaking options and UI. This affects:
• Heist Planning Board
• A new option has been added to the Heist Planning Board that will allow you to press Left on the D-pad to quickly join a Heist as a crew member. You must have an active Heist in order to access this feature.
• Heist Lobby
• A “Matchmaking” option has been added to Heist lobbies that allows the Host to quickly change whether matchmaking is open or closed. When set to “Closed”, only invited players can connect with the Heist lobby. This option is “Closed” by default, which means only players you invite can join the session.
• The “Client Invites” option has been reinstated for the host of the lobby that is “On” by default. This allows players that have joined the Heist to invite their friends. If you only want the host to be able to send invites, “Client Invites” should be set to “Off”.
• Improvements to the “Auto-Invite” matchmaking option to help fill lobbies faster
• Improvements to matchmaking for Heists to fill lobbies faster
