GTA 5's First PC Patch Has Arrived
The first patch for the PC version of Grand Theft Auto V has been released, and it resolves a number of issues players have been reporting this week.
The fixes in this patch are truly wide-ranging--they deal with everything from crashes in the launcher and frame rate issues to much stranger things, like birds not flying properly in Rockstar Editor clips and players' eyebrows and facial features being changed when they're transferred to PC.
Patch 1.01 also addresses the bizarre issue that prevents the game from installing and running properly if you have anything but a letter or number in your Windows username. Rockstar offered a workaround for that earlier this week--basically, make a new user account and name it only using letters A-Z and numbers 0-9. If you did so, Rockstar's support website has been updated with details on how to continue your progress from the new Windows account on your old one.
Other problems that continue to exist aren't things Rockstar can necessarily fix--for instance, to not lose your vehicles from the Xbox 360/PS3 versions of GTA Online, you need to log in to the game from that console before initiating the PC transfer process if you haven't played since December 2013. For more details on that, Windows Media Player problems, and other issues, check out our list of workarounds.
Read on for the full list of 1.01 patch notes.
