A new GTA Online patch is now live on all platforms, addressing a long-standing Mission Creator issue that prevented creators from properly configuring wanted levels in selected scenes. The fix restores intended control over police presence, improving reliability for stealth, combat-focused, and custom-designed missions.
Additional bug-fix details will be shared later once official patch notes are released. For now, the update focuses specifically on resolving the wanted level configuration problem that disrupted many creator-made scenarios.
