First Patch for 'GTA V' PC Released
Rockstar has released its first ever patch for "GTA V" for PC, which fixes crashes, random eyebrow switches, frame rate issues, and other bugs.
The first patch for "Grand Theft Auto V" PC version has been released, and games developer Rockstar has assured players the patch resolves a number of issues they have been complaining about, including launcher crashes, birds flying awkwardly in Editor clips, frame rate bugs, and other problems.
Patch 1.01 has also resolved dilemmas involving a bug that halts the installation and locks players out of the game if they have other characters besides letters or numbers in their Windows username, a bug Rockstar had earlier provided the stopgap of creating a new user account.

The patch also prevents an inadvertent alteration of characters' eyebrows and other facial features when they're transferred to PC, as well as preventing a CPU usage spike during "GTA V" startup, causing the game to crash.
In the game's patch notes, fixes include adding a grid to the Golf mini-game to show players the green's topology during a putt; allowing YouTube uploads from Rockstar editor to automatically resume following lost Internet connection; amending game crashes while using Rockstar Editor; loading projects with deleted clips while warning players accordingly; resolving an issue where players with a single garage were unable to replace a vehicle if their garage is full and vehicles were purchased in-game, and tweaks to prepare the game to accept iFruit PC support downloadable via iTunes or Google Play.
Generally, the "Grand Theft Auto V" launch on PC last Wednesday was well received, with only a small number of gamers reporting debilitating issues during the launch and gameplay. Attack of the Fanboy reports that GTA Online was stable, with more than one million new players recorded for the PC game, and up to 300,000 playing on Steam.
