Danny_V Posted July 23, 2025 Report Posted July 23, 2025 Date and time (provide timezone): Character name: Daniel Myers Does this issue appear again after a full game restart?: YES How many times did this issue appear for you?: EVERY TIME Issue/bug you are reporting: MAJOR lag spikes every time you go across the bridge to cayo, (Severity varies from instance to instance. 50/50 chance of the game completely shutting down) Expected behavior: driving across the bridge without the game freezing Evidence (MUST provide either UNEDITED photo or video) , notes worth mentioning, steps to replicate: Whenever you have a GPS on you and you cross the bridge to Cayo Perico. The game freezes (sometimes boots you out entirely) However when you do not have a GPS on you, there's no issue. Meaning this glitch/bug/freeze is related to the GPS. Vehicle license plate number*: N/A Quote
Bala Posted July 23, 2025 Report Posted July 23, 2025 (edited) In order for Cayo Perico to function, the game requires you to unload the entirety of San Andreas and load Cayo Perico's island instead. I'd be surprised if there wasn't any lag, to be honest. This load occurs around midway on the bridge. Edited July 23, 2025 by Bala Quote
Danny_V Posted July 23, 2025 Author Report Posted July 23, 2025 Bala, the thing is. IF you dont have a GPS this DOESNT happen Quote
Danny_V Posted July 24, 2025 Author Report Posted July 24, 2025 Update on this: Today I was in Cayo (without GPS), and got into a car with a GPS in the glovebox. (causing the minimap to appear on my UI) As soon as I got into the car. the glitch happened and my game froze for a good 8-10 seconds. I think this further proves the issue is linked to the GPS, and not the loading/unloading of assets on the main GTA V map. Quote
Danny_V Posted September 10, 2025 Author Report Posted September 10, 2025 Issue still exists, Had to do a full PC reboot while crossing the Cayo brigde at high speed with a GPS in the glovebox. Tested it since (with GPS in my trunk, so i dont have a minimap) and VOILA! NO ISSUE! I therefore believe this entire bug is created by the gps (or the GPSblips maybe?) Quote
SneakySniper Posted October 13, 2025 Report Posted October 13, 2025 GPS does seem to be the cause of a few issues relating to lag, even when going into a car with a gps in without one in your inventory the game freezes for about a second or 2 Quote
Timmaayy Posted October 25, 2025 Report Posted October 25, 2025 I will forward this to the developers to see if there can be any performance improvements. Quote
