Huge GTA Trilogy Update Is Available Now

When the GTA Trilogy was initially released in October 2021, it generated a lot of interest. The Trilogy, marketed as a definitive compilation of GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas, included Unreal Engine-enhanced visuals and updated control schemes. Lighting effects have been improved, character/vehicle models have been updated, and textures have been upgraded to a better resolution. When the bundle was ultimately released, though, fan dismay was practically instantaneous. The restored Rockstar classics were hampered by issues ranging from startling visual flaws to game-breaking problems. Months later, the 1.04 update tries to address these issues, with lousy textures and collisions/clipping being the major emphasis.

Yesterday, the Rockstar Support Twitter page announced that the massive 1.04 update is finally out. Here are a few significant points:

General – All Platforms

• Improved game performance across all platforms and graphic modes
• Stability improvements
• Fixed several issues when attempting to retry a mission from the last checkpoint
• Fixed many collision issues
• Fixed several texture art and signage issues

Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition Receives Many Fixes, Physical Release Delayed A Few Days

 Rockstar Games has a couple of updates for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - The Definitive Edition. 

The physical edition, for starters, is being delayed. The studio announced the change in date on Twitter, noting that you can buy your copy on December 17 instead of December 7, as originally planned. Following that, a new set of updates were added, addressing over 100 bugs across all three games. Even the cinematic camera, which was missing in the original release, has been added back in. From the long list, here are a few fixes:

GTA III:

• Fixed an issue where the rain appears under water when falling
• Fixed an issue where the player was able to stretch a two-seater vehicle using the car crusher
• Fixed an issue where the mission title would linger on screen too long at the beginning of any mission

Vice City:

• Fixed a hole in the game world near Café Robina
• Fixed an issue where the barrel of the minigun did not spin when fired
• Fixed an issue where Lance would be duplicated after restarting the mission Copland

San Andreas:

• Fixed a save game issue at the end of the mission Blood Bowl
• Fixed a missing bridge in the Shady Creeks section of the map
• Fixed graphical corruption on CJ’s head and body during the motel sequence of the mission "Reuniting the Families"
