GTA V makers warn gamers about possible bug

Can't we just hit the bug over the head with a baseball bat?

Everybody just remain calm and breathe deeply for a moment, there may be some worrying news for GTA V fans.

There have already been some issues with the game’s companion app and now, according to a report on the BBC this morning, the makers of Grand Theft Auto V have warned players about parking cars in garages in the game until a bug can be fixed.

Unfortunately, as far as JOE is aware, the bug cannot be disposed of by blowing it up using a rocket launcher or hitting it over the head with a baseball bat.

Developers of GTA V, Rockstar Games, have said that they are looking into a glitch that sometimes causes cars to lose upgrades or completely disappear from safe house garages.

According to their Rockstar support forum, the company said “Unfortunately, we do not currently have a workaround to recover a car if it is missing. In the meantime, please try to avoid parking a car in a garage, driving one already in a garage, or getting in a default vehicle, when playing as a character other than the one with your upgrades.”

Rockstar later suggested that the issue may occur if players drive different characters’ personal vehicles.

“Also please note that vehicles saved in the garage of one safe house (Franklin’s Aunt’s) may not show up in the garage of a different safe house (Franklin’s Vinewood Hills).”

According to Forbes, GTA V extraordinarily grossed over $1 billion in sales over the course of its first three days on sale so, if the bug in the system does turn out to be true, Rockstar are potentially looking at lot of unhappy paying customers.

Unhappy paying customers who like to blow things up and do nasty things to people they don’t like, so GET IT FIXED ROCKSTAR.

Thanks… *JOE puts baseball bat back in the cupboard*
