GTA V's latest update has introduced a lot of lag - can this be fixed?

After Rockstar deployed a new update, GTA V on PC has become extremely laggy and can't be played.

Can this be solved?


It started with the last update, quite a few people have it. Rockstar support have told people it's windows 10's fault. Some people can fix it by removing their Social Club folder.

There currently doesn't seem to be a fix that works for me but you can try:

  • Removing your 'Social Club' folder.
  • Run under Compatibility mode for Windows 7/8
  • Different drivers new/old.
  • Various NVIDIA Control panel settings.
  • Monitoring CPU/GPU usage (It drops significantly during the freezing)
  • Taking back my GPU/CPU overclock (Ik it's stable, I was just desperate :P)
