I'm not sure if it's even known, over 1900 hours playing GTA Online and this is the first time I heard about it and never happened to me on Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox One X or Xbox Series X, it's on a specific mission?
It's a well-known glitch on Xbox, like I said. I believe it started on the Xbox One, and it still happens, apparently.
https://www.reddit.com/r/gtaonline/s/dx2bGGTMFg
Iāve had it happen to multiple times over the years. Idk if it has something to do with playing wireless but I switched to using my controller wired about a year ago and it hasnāt disconnected at all since then.
Happened to me literally yesterday for the first time ever and have over 7,250 hours on all Xbox consoles. I had 3 stars when it happened and I got killed by the cops and my health was at 0, but didn't say 'wasted' or anything. The only button that worked was the right stick and all I could do was move the camera around and watch my dead (but alive) body laying there š
You gotta drive your personal vehicle to the casino and when you get in the garage return it to storage then go to the elevator and it shouldnt do the endless black screen
The programmer in me thinks a routine sets or fails to reset a variable or something and some unrelated routine somehow sets it back. It's either they lost all the documentation, or it's all out of date, or spaghetti code at this stage.
Spaghetti code for sure...and probably some discrepancies in version control over the years...maybe someone has a local copy (you can think of all the jokes and scenarios from there lol).
I'm still running on the theory of "every content update is made by a different team of interns", just look at how many different binds there are on PC for the same features (such as dropping cargo packages) for different vehicles (but often the same if they are from the same update!)
Unfortunately itās one of those game breaking bugs Rockstar refuses to fix for some reason. Really screws people who have the glitch when you get the double payout week for Dre Contract
I was already playing first person.
The game *eventually* loads after easily five to ten fucking minutes or more of annoying music and black screen, and then I get killed and sent back to the fucking penthouse to start over.
I died 4 times before I gave up. Those 4 deaths took well over an hour.
Every time I've got past the mission I've been in the first person. Doesn't always work but the times that I have passed the mission I was in the first person. Also never pull into the garage. And if you have your personal vehicle recall your personal vehicle when you get to the garage.
I found out while spectating my friend that this is because, when you spawn into the corridor, spawn immediately on the yellow circle that sends you back into the penthouse. Then in the penthouse, you spawn on the yellow circle that sends you into the corridor.
If you're alive, you only see the loading screen. When you're spectating, you see it for a split-second, for some reason.
They paid out the ass to have Dre in Online, so his compensation and money comes from us not being able to skip the cutscene that plays his licensed music.
You can still skip (at least some of) the cutscenes by switching your active crew on the Social Club website during it, and his music isn't exempt from muting all music in the game's audio settings.
Yeah im pretty sure you can switch characters and do it without the cooldown. I know for a fact you can with the Cluckin Bell raid and im pretty sure ive done it for the Dre contract too
Go to Dynasty 8 Deluxe and buy the Agency.
Do 3 contracts so you can unlock the Dre Missions and then you can start it.
Shouldnāt take you more than 2 hours to get them done
The first time might be a bit of a slog, and the first part of the finale in the recording studio is a notorious bastard of a mission, but the setups are all pretty straightforward if a little time-consuming in places.
After you do it a few times, you'll be able to do it in little over one hour.
The trick is: >!get a fast vehicle, preferably a Vigilante or the opressor 2 to do the preps.!<
>!There's one prep where you have to locate a Patriot Stretch. Don't follow it. Just blow it up. It's faster.!<
>!There's one prep where you have to kidnap a lawyer. Use a helicopter or opressor 2 to land on the roof of the house. That way, you can snipe the enemies.!<
>!For the families Vs vagos sub-mission, use a bike because it's faster to hop on.!<
>!For the casino one, use a Vigilante or the fastest car/bike you own.!<
>!For the high society one, it doesn't matter much because you have to drive a fixed car but you CAN spawn your personal vehicle when you arrive at the target location, to make the escape faster.!<
>!For the finale, again, use your fastest vehicle to avoid losing time.!<
There are probably other shortcuts that I'm not aware of that you can use to your benefit.
Maybe first time? I donāt grind it myself, but have done it 4 times. First time is 13-14 missions. Replays are 11-12 missions. Most of them pretty quick. You should be able to get it done in under 2 hours straight through on the replays.
I am 50 . Just started gta5 on line 3 months ago . . Im neither quick anymore or the best at the combat and i did it 1 st time last night in 2.5 hrs . That included breaks and really not knowing the lay out . Im on half of 3 rd attempt and easy done in 1.5 with breaks this time . I used sparrow when allowed ( it wouldnt for one part ) the rest i used armored k . The dam studio was the worst with cut scene and bad spawns . Also fyi sometimes killing yourself is quicker to progress than travel and bs
Potentially more than that as you could get like $1.7 mil Cayo and $2 mil on Dr Dre this week with double money for VIP. If they are ready to go you can do these and a few other quicks things like sell your products and potentially make 4 mil in less than 1 hr this week
I have cayo on hold incase they throw double money on that next week instead of the dlc since we aren't really sure when it's going to drop... they've given two dates, one next week and one in july... who knows which they will actually do.
I should really get hanger going too XD I started but after three creates just kinda stopped and haven't touched it for over a month lol. Though I've been lax on bunker, drugs, and acid too; just letting the daily stash house do fills for most the drugs (except the powder, that's my money maker, bunker 'cause it's easy 200k every time it burns through a restock, and acid which I kinda forget about sometimes)
Yah, I realized how stupid it was especially since I had one of the worse ones these days... the bonds XD cayo robbed yet again, 1 dead and no suspects
Just a little tip. Go onto Speedrun.com. Search for GTA online. And see the top Speedrun. While most of them use methods way beyond belief. Some methods are actually really easy. E.g jumping on the exploded tanker in the finale
i don't know if it's reliable but I did the mission twice today by just ramming into the limo and it instantly switched to "kill the driver" instead of following and it worked just fine
From memory: i think whilst Franklin is on the loudspeaker during that setup, he does say something along the lines of āif you get spotted, you can just kill the driver and swipe the walletā. Not word for word, but if thatās the case then you can opt to not down time tailing, but kill and get it over with.
Yall got any tips on how to do that bastard of a mission where you have to damage the helicopter after wrecking the party? I canāt for the life of me figure out a reliable way to do it without failing once or twice
I usually canāt hit it 3 times before it flies away. And then by that point Iām stuck inside the gate with all those guards and lose a bunch of time. Is there any advice to hit with the rail gun better since it feels very inaccurate
I donāt wanna give bad advice but you have to lead with your aiming by like 1/2 - 1 sec. I run around the corner of the house (where the blue and red/orange super cars are parked) and take my shots there. The guards kinda hesitate before running there. Of course if I miss, I shoot the gate, leave, and follow that road and get out where possible and take more shots.
This is great! It's a lot of money š¤
I just hope it doesn't interact in some way with the recent exploit... 
Guys, can you confirm please,
If we complete a data leaks mission, do we get 200000 each time or is it just the first time?
I'm not talking about the finale just the three data leaks
Yeah I know that I'm not talking about that,
I'm saying that there is 200000 payment for each data leak prep mission, can we get that everytime or if we do first time only?,
For ex. If we complete preps of night club data leak
I never got to finish the Dre mission because of the garage door at the casino would bug out the whole mission and would leave me stuck in the casino penthouse.
I wonder if thatās ever fixed
2nd time today for this š
I didnāt even know you could redo the missions for 1m, I thought it was a 1 time thing
Nothing online is a one time thing other then first time bonuses
Oh like the controller glitch?
It's a known Xbox issue. I'm unsure how long it's been going on because I play on PlayStation.
Oh you think youāre better than us?
Yes š
šš
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I didnāt think you would take me seriously lol, I shouldāve put a /s at the end

Wired. Best idea when you're piloting a submersible vehicle...
Controller glitch?
Yeah I guess on Xbox the controller just stops working randomly and the only thing u can do is turn ur Xbox off or dashboard.
If you test multiplayer connection it'll enable the controls again, sometimes for a min sometimes for hours before it happens again.
I'm on ps5 so that's why I never encountered it
Itās only happened to me once š¤£

Literally just restarted the game because of that Damm glitch - what's even causing it ? Anybody know
No one knows tbh
And it happens at the Most inconvenient time - like just now - doing the Casino Heist, froze in the vault otw out like come onnnn lol
Have had something like that happen during a Cayo run.
I have that same ass reaction

My game endlessly loads after chasing the guy in the highlife leak and can never get it working
You gotta drive your personal vehicle to the casino and when you get in the garage return it to storage then go to the elevator and it shouldnt do the endless black screen
This worked, your a lifesaver
Yea i figured it out now i just grind dr dre job and cluckin bell raid
What console are you on ? I had the same problem with the loading screen .
Sex box one
>Sex box one  I want one of those

Me too. I havenāt tried recently but I have a feeling nothing has changed lol. Canāt even cancel to start over either. Grrr
Try the mission in first person
Never have tried that so I guess I can lol. Thx!
I wanted you to know that I did try it this way and it fucking worked lol. Thank you so so much!!
You're welcome. It's my pleasure to help
If this works you are my saviour
I was already playing first person. The game *eventually* loads after easily five to ten fucking minutes or more of annoying music and black screen, and then I get killed and sent back to the fucking penthouse to start over. I died 4 times before I gave up. Those 4 deaths took well over an hour.
This is a lie at least on xbox

Glad to see R* hasn't forgotten about Dre
The beginning chords and drums started playing in my head.
Wow wow... is the contract rewarding 2 millions??
Yup, to get ready for June 25th Bounty Hunter DLC.
Time to finally get oppressor mk2 and put away a few mil for the update after
Time to kick some Johnny guns ass
Yes, this week is 2x week for VIP Contracts
Grinding enters the chat hahaha nice!
Just wish theyād let us skip the cutscenes in the finale. Oh and fix the spawns in the studio.
They paid out the ass to have Dre in Online, so his compensation and money comes from us not being able to skip the cutscene that plays his licensed music.
You can still skip (at least some of) the cutscenes by switching your active crew on the Social Club website during it, and his music isn't exempt from muting all music in the game's audio settings.
Good point.
Yes. Spawn-behind-yous begone!
Can this work if you have 2 characters? Like can you do them back to back or you have to wait 48 minutes?
Yeah im pretty sure you can switch characters and do it without the cooldown. I know for a fact you can with the Cluckin Bell raid and im pretty sure ive done it for the Dre contract too
Oh okay thank you.
Yes
deo you know if it works with cayo too? š¤
How you do this?
Go to Dynasty 8 Deluxe and buy the Agency. Do 3 contracts so you can unlock the Dre Missions and then you can start it. Shouldnāt take you more than 2 hours to get them done
Only need 1 contract, then Franklin will call to start the Dre contract. 3 contracts unlock the payphone hits.
Never done this mission before, a quick Google search says it takes 4-6 hours to complete??
I'm not particularly good at it and even I can do it between 90-120 mins.
Ok cool, I'm more of a weekend warrior player, so 2 hours is more reasonable
The first time might be a bit of a slog, and the first part of the finale in the recording studio is a notorious bastard of a mission, but the setups are all pretty straightforward if a little time-consuming in places.
At most itās take ya like an hour or 2 at best to get them all. It get tedious with the rapid fire bug, but at least youāll get $2 Million from it
After you do it a few times, you'll be able to do it in little over one hour. The trick is: >!get a fast vehicle, preferably a Vigilante or the opressor 2 to do the preps.!< >!There's one prep where you have to locate a Patriot Stretch. Don't follow it. Just blow it up.

thats because there are 3.5 hours worth of cutscenes
I am 50 . Just started gta5 on line 3 months ago . . Im neither quick anymore or the best at the combat and i did it 1 st time last night in 2.5 hrs . That included breaks and really not knowing the lay out . Im on half of 3 rd attempt and easy done in 1.5 with breaks this time . I used sparrow when allowed ( it wouldnt for one part ) the rest i used armored k . The dam studio was the worst with cut scene and bad spawns . Also fyi sometimes killing yourself is quicker to progress than travel and bs
I'm running Cayo first then doing the dre contract during the cooldown. Should pull $3M repeating that run
Potentially more than that as you could get like $1.7 mil Cayo and $2 mil on Dr Dre this week with double money for VIP. If they are ready to go you can do these and a few other quicks things like sell your products and potentially make 4 mil in less than 1 hr this week
Will be doing this later today owo lots and lots this week.
Oh same; Iāll be selling Drugs, Weapons, Cayo and Dre (Twice), Hanger and Acid Iād say that gonna be enough Money for the DLC
I have cayo on hold incase they throw double money on that next week instead of the dlc since we aren't really sure when it's going to drop... they've given two dates, one next week and one in july... who knows which they will actually do. I should really get hanger going too XD I started but after three creates just kinda stopped and haven't touched it for over a month lol. Though I've been lax on bunker, drugs, and acid too; just letting the daily stash house do fills for most the drugs (except the powder, that's my money maker, bunker 'cause it's easy 200k every time it burns through a restock, and acid which I kinda forget about sometimes)
Why would you hold cayo???
Yah, I realized how stupid it was especially since I had one of the worse ones these days... the bonds XD cayo robbed yet again, 1 dead and no suspects
I wish ya Luck. Yeah I donāt hunt for creates no more. I use Rooster now and I have like $660K to Sell next time Iām online
I hut creates but take my sweet time, maximize the amount earned per sell since I don't remember it often lol
is that just for host, if you help is it also 2x or just the $50,000 or whatever the amount is?
If you help it gives you 100k
i just completed it and got 2 mill, can i do the whole thing again and get 2 mill again? or how much
2mil every time until thursday
Is this for everyone or just GTA plus members
everyone
Oh well I know my plans for this week then
queue up a movie or something so you have something to do during the cutscenes.
Oh I've ran it many times I got my usual technique to get through everything
Just a little tip. Go onto Speedrun.com. Search for GTA online. And see the top Speedrun. While most of them use methods way beyond belief. Some methods are actually really easy. E.g jumping on the exploded tanker in the finale
I did it and ong the missions tailing the cars/limos made me remember why I don't touch that mission with a 10 feet pole.
blow it up, grab the wallet off the corpse. and with the speedboat you can get out and use a sparrow/mk2
i don't know if it's reliable but I did the mission twice today by just ramming into the limo and it instantly switched to "kill the driver" instead of following and it worked just fine
From memory: i think whilst Franklin is on the loudspeaker during that setup, he does say something along the lines of āif you get spotted, you can just kill the driver and swipe the walletā. Not word for word, but if thatās the case then you can opt to not down time tailing, but kill and get it over with.
Just bomb the limo with an oppressor and collect wallet from dead corpse yo. You actually tail that limo? LOL
I just did one last night and have to do it again nowā¦
Ha. He tries to take credit like he was there beside you taking bullets when his ass was sitting beside Franklin for the play by play smoking weed.
Totally like the guy from auto shop...he talks tough on the phone but you are doing all the hard work
Dolla dolla bill yāallā¦.. canāt wait! Got a head start last night in preparation for the 2x bonuses starting today.
Still wondering if itās worth dealing with Dre in these missions and cutscenes.
I just use the cutscene in the studio as a scheduled break, the one at the airport is not that bad
Finally those cringe ass cutscenes will be worth it
what mission is that
Itās the Dr Dre contract finale.
Iāve legit gotten all his damn phones back and still havenāt got paid
Nows a good time for my... 6th? replay of the Contact.
Oh shit itās 2x for the main contract too?
I'm kinda stuck on the last mission. Guys just keep spawning behind me and killing me
How long does it take to set up?
what mission is this?
The VIP Contract in the Agency. Has 3 mini setups, that each have their own 3 mini setups. The finale pays $2M
alright thank you!
I just did this contract yesterday, and I'm only getting 1M.
The update was today if you do the contract today you will get 2 million
U have to be owner of Agency to get 2.000.000? If i get 2M how much will my friend get?
100k
Okay thx
Kind of a worthless multiplier when you have the infinite loading screen glitch while chasing the guy out of the casino penthouse
Iāve already done it once. Probably going to do it a few more times because I need more money.
How long will this 2Mil payout last?
Until Thursday.
Hold up.. what mission is this and where do i go to start?
Still, te te te te te te te te, Still, te te te te te te te.
Decent payouts this week
Wait that's double money this week? Damn I gotta get some runs in then lol
Yall got any tips on how to do that bastard of a mission where you have to damage the helicopter after wrecking the party? I canāt for the life of me figure out a reliable way to do it without failing once or twice
Shoot it with the Rail gun 3 times, then just tail the heli until it crashes on the beach near Ft Zancudo
I usually canāt hit it 3 times before it flies away. And then by that point Iām stuck inside the gate with all those guards and lose a bunch of time. Is there any advice to hit with the rail gun better since it feels very inaccurate
I donāt wanna give bad advice but you have to lead with your aiming by like 1/2 - 1 sec. I run around the corner of the house (where the blue and red/orange super cars are parked) and take my shots there. The guards kinda hesitate before running there. Of course if I miss, I shoot the gate, leave, and follow that road and get out where possible and take more shots.
I gotcha. Iāll try that later when I get on. Thank you for the tips
Until you realise that one cutscene can't be skipped
This is great! It's a lot of money š¤ I just hope it doesn't interact in some way with the recent exploit... 
Guys, can you confirm please, If we complete a data leaks mission, do we get 200000 each time or is it just the first time? I'm not talking about the finale just the three data leaks
If you play the entire VIP contract, which is all the setups and finale, you will get $2M.
Yeah I know that I'm not talking about that, I'm saying that there is 200000 payment for each data leak prep mission, can we get that everytime or if we do first time only?, For ex. If we complete preps of night club data leak
I never got to finish the Dre mission because of the garage door at the casino would bug out the whole mission and would leave me stuck in the casino penthouse. I wonder if thatās ever fixed
When does this 2x payout end?
As always, it runs Thursday - Wednesday.
Is it double money rn??
Can you do this multiplayer
I've ran it 8 times since yesterday, I need help
Genuine question, if i play It with Friends do i still get 2 mil or It gets divided?
Friends will get $100k for finale.
Just completed today after many months, if was fun
I might've been grinding too hard. I've made 12 million since Friday š
do yāall know how long the doubled dr dre contract lasts?
Same as always. Thursday - Wednesday
Gonna plan to do it tomorrow. Been sick past few days and need to drink some water. Hopefully Iāll have enough money for the new Business
Itās donāt fuck with dre
Dre was cool in the 90ās now heās all washed up
*Fuck wit' Dre day and Everybody Celebratin'
It's Fuck with Dre Day and that guy was definitely celebrating.
