Anyone else suffering really badly with the game crashing regularly in multiplayer? Was fine originally last few days I get 2 or 3 minutes into any game and it freezes completely.

Yeah, every so often the picture will freeze for a few seconds. I was worried my Xbox was dying, but now I am hearing more reports of this, I guess it's just GTA.

I have tried the Multiplayer Tutorial twice now, and both times the games froze at the Loading screen after I complete it. And it doesn't sort itself out after a few seconds like in other places. I have to manually restart the Xbox. Has anyone else tried the tutorial and had that happen?

I try not to crash but with these slippy ******* cars its difficult not to.

All jokes aside (did you like the lack of humour?), I haven't experienced any crashes in the multiplayer so far but I have had issues where what was my own private game has dropped a player when starting a new game and suddenly become a public game open to anyone. That has happened a few times.

Also at one point I dropped out of my own game and ended up in a lobby with a load of randoms. That one confused me.

Today in the single player I was sitting in my Bohan Safehouse watching TV and I brought up the Guide blade to check the time, not only did everything freeze but it made a horrible sound too. It loaded up fine afterwards but it had me worried for a while.

Table Tennis aside it is Rockstars first forray into online gaming and as such its bound to have teething troubles.

Anyone for a patch?

Yeah Bully had problems of causing Xboxes to crash, wether it is the same issue as in GTA I don't know but it's bloody annoying.

The only problem I've had with online multiplayer (apart from the downtime on launch day) has been the pretty noticeable pop-in when I'm in a chopper (at night, bridge/car lights just pop out of nowhere). I don't get any pop-in at all in single player.

The game has frozen on me twice. The first time, it rectified itself seconds later, but the second time, the whole system just stopped and I had to reboot.

I'm playing it on PS3 by the way.

@Bushmouse - don't get your hopes up, his name is Playboy X :p
