Rockstar Games has pushed out yet another behind-the-scenes patch for GTA Online, this time targeting lingering issues from The Kortz Center Heist update. The fix arrived alongside this week's Event Week content, which introduced the new Pegassi Ignus Pursuit vehicle, and follows an earlier round of server-side fixes the studio issued shortly after the heist update first launched.
Since The Kortz Center Heist DLC dropped this summer, Rockstar has been steadily cleaning up a string of bugs that frustrated players. One of the more notable problems involved a helicopter sequence during the heist that could block players from finishing the mission entirely — a fix players will likely welcome, given how heist-ending glitches tend to derail entire sessions for a crew.
Because this is a background update, players won't need to download anything. Rockstar applies these changes server-side, which is standard practice following a major GTA Online content drop, so nothing about the rollout itself is unusual.
What Got Fixed
According to Rockstar Support's patch notes for July 23rd, the update addressed several specific issues:
The Kortz Center Heist
Mansion plaques and trophies were showing up as unlocked when they shouldn't have been
The camera in the Exhibition Hall wasn't moving properly during the heist finale
The Stealth Annihilator was dropping to the ground unexpectedly when players got the rappel prompt during the finale
General fixes
Grace Whitney wasn't fleeing as intended during the Most Wanted – Whitney mission
KnoWay supervisors weren't leaving the area after players collected all three trash bags in KnoWay Out – Trash Talking
The Velum aircraft was behaving erratically and causing mission failure during Oscar Guzman Flies Again – Setup: Ammunition
These fixes are separate from the much larger batch of changes included in the original patch 1.73 notes for The Kortz Center Heist update, suggesting Rockstar is still working through issues that slipped past initial testing.
Given the pattern of recent months, more quiet server-side patches are likely in the pipeline as Rockstar continues to iron out problems introduced by the summer update.
