The latest update fixes over a dozen issues with the game, including one for where the starting point for the tutorial race was not appearing.
It also fixes a remaining issue where some people's vehicles or vehicle modifications were disappearing. Rockstar Games blamed the bug on cloud save failures, though after applying the latest patch, it should no longer be an issue, the developer claims.

GTA Online has gotten off to a bumpy start, though in the weeks leading up its launch, Rockstar Games warned that there would be some growing pains, and there certainly have been. The good news for frustrated gamers is that anyone who logs into the online multiplayer portion in the month of October will receive GTA$500,000 of in-game currency, which will be doled out in two separate payments of GTA$250,000 each.
