Map Builder - Update Aftermath, Solutions, 2019
The Problem
As you may already know, Map Builder was broken by the latest GTA V update. This update proves the current limitations of the game itself. All of the props still load into the game, but the game continues to crash after about 5-10 minutes. Certain locations on the map seem to cause this to happen faster. The crash seems to happen because of DLC prop limits. The recent GTA V update adds multiple props to the game. This pushes the game close to its current limitations.
Searching for a Solution
After countless hours spent trying to revive my work, I'm left with only one possible solution. I need to rebuild everything from the ground up. We can't have over 1,000 props added to the game anymore at one time. I will need to create a new system for this. This will take some time, but it's possible. I'm still actively searching for solutions. Whether or not this solution is permanent, depends on the outcome of future updates and mod tools.
Map Builder in 2019
Map Builder had a bright future ahead in 2019. Everything was just beginning to fall into place before the latest GTA V update. I had many new props on the timeline set to release. The big 3.00 update was scheduled for January. After the turn of events, I will now spend the first month of 2019 fixing Map Builder. We will get back to that big update at a later time.
Project Rebuild
Patrons will be able to follow the repairing process of Map Builder next month. Project Rebuild will feature updates for returning props to their normal working state. I will also be adding significant improvements to the functionality of all props individually. Props may have different names, as this is separate from Map Builder for Patrons. Once the project is complete, we will unify it with other Map Builder versions.
Thank you patrons, for staying with me throughout this challenging time. Map Builder will return!
