Hacker T0ST succeeded in reducing the loading time of GTA Online. When he played GTA Online for the first time in seven years, he wondered, 'Why is the loading time so long?' And investigated the cause on his own. As a result, I realized that the cause of the long loading time of GTA Online was 'List of all items that can be purchased with game currency on GTA Online', and created and released a DLL that can reduce the loading time by 70%.

The update containing the DLL developed by Mr. T0ST was delivered as 'GTAV Title Update 1.53 ' on March 16, 2021 local time. In the update, Rockstar Games wrote in the update release notes, 'Thanks to T0ST for his contribution to improving the load time of today's title update.'
T0ST, who created the DLL, immediately updated to GTA Online version 1.53 and confirmed that the load time was reduced from 6 minutes to 1 minute 54 seconds.
Rockstar Games has also introduced its own bug rewards program , which allows anyone who discovers a privacy or security issue to receive a $ 10,000 bounty. The bug rewards program usually focuses on security issues, with the exception of T0ST, who said he received a $ 10,000 bounty from Rockstar Games.
Game media Kotaku added, 'T0ST's work was clearly beyond the scope of the'find privacy or security issues' bug reward program.'
