Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy update improves performance, fixes bugs

As promised last week, Rockstar has delivered a new update for Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy – The Definitive Edition on all platforms.

This latest update for the collection improves overall performance across all platforms and graphics modes, improves stability, and fixes several collision and texture issues across all three games, according to the patch notes. Additionally, each game in the collection has also received its own list of fixes.

Starting with Grand Theft Auto III, the ability has been added to hold the sprint button to do a partial sprint and improvements have been made to zoom behavior on the classic mini-map, GPS behavior during the Vigilante missions, the cinematic camera behavior during the RC Toyz missions, and camera behavior when using the sniper rifle. There are also collision fixes for the Shoreside Vale safehouse, Cochrane Dam, Phil Cassidy Army Surplus, and more.

While Grand Theft Auto: Vice City has received improvements to wall textures at the Colon Hotel, spawn behavior in the mission “Demolition Man,” windows on the Moist Palms Hotel, and collision around El Banco Corrupto Grande.

Finally, in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, improvements have been made to the High Fade Haircut, the first-person camera in vehicles, Firefighter and Paramedic UI messages at 4k resolution, and the audio during the mission “Sweet’s Girl.” This is on top of a number of bug fixes for NPCs clipping through their beds during a burglary, achievements not unlocking, settings not saving, and more.
