Nonetheless, Shacknews has reached out to Rockstar for further comment and will update if further statements or explanations are offered. The last communication Rockstar Support had asked for patience as it continues to work out the issues. Many who might have been excited to jump in and re-explore GTA 3, Vice City, and San Andreas and all of the changes and refreshes that have been made on PC are having to wait longer to see what these games have to offer as a result of the issue.Įven then, those who don't even care about the GTA Trilogy are probably scratching their heads at why this is keeping them from playing games like Red Dead Redemption 2. It’s quite a roadblock to run into just as the Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy - Definitive Edition bundle of games releases. We thank you for your patience and understanding as we continue to work on restoring services for the Rockstar Games Launcher and supported titles. Even Grand Theft Auto Online and Red Dead Online have been out of commission according to Rockstar’s server status. To make matters worse, the issue isn’t confined to Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy.

Rockstar denied that the minigame was present in San Andreas, which was technically true inasmuch as no 'normal' player could access it, but untrue because the code for the minigame was present in the game's files (and could even eventually be accessed on consoles). In that case Rockstar released the game with a removed sex minigame still present in the code: which eventually a modder was able to access. If these files are any kind of factor, however, this would be one hell of an echo of the San Andreas Hot Coffee farrago. Rockstar has not responded to PC Gamer's request for comment. At the time of writing the Rockstar Games Launcher has been down for 24 hours. The unlicensed music tracks or the files the games were released with may have nothing to do with it.

The music industry is infamously one of the most protective industries out there with no quarter given, and it could be the case that Rockstar's remasters land the company in legal hot water (in which eventuality, the company's swift removal of the titles from sale would be part of its defence).

"For Vice City they've split the stations up into track order, so the songs that were cut for the 10th Anniversary edition are missing here, in the screenshot above you can see how FLASH goes from _1, _2 and THEN to _4. and asked them to explain what we're looking at in the above image.
