Hype around Rockstars immensely successful Grand Theft Auto V seems to have remerged ever since the game came out for the PC, but like most ports it is still not a title without bugs and issues.
In order to address these minor problems, Rockstar has released a new patch for the PC version of GTA V.
PC users are reporting that it has fixed the buggy Ambient Occlusion effect in the game. Moreover, there are also suggestions that this update has broken the game’s compatibility with Script Hook. Whether this is intentional or not by Rockstar is currently unknown, although it is not included in the changelog.
For those who don’t know, Script Hook is an ASI plugin for GTA V which allows users to write commands and scripts in any .Net language. It’s a useful tool for the modding community, but hopefully there is a workaround soon for those who use it.
