I'm not sure if you made it to the end of TFA, but yes. And the author got a 10k bug bounty

They took his fix, applied it to the game in an update and paid him a bug bounty of $10,000.

Anecdotally; I still wait 5-6 minutes for online to load, and 3-4 for single player.

Digital Foundry measured a 20.2-second boot load time for GTA V single player on the PS5 and 28.9-second boot load time on a PC. Not even the PS4 takes 3-4 minutes.

Good for them. Computing performance is relative between machines.

I have no obligation to confirm for you relative truth. Gathering the evidence would be a waste of time and CPU cycles for what is ultimately an ePeen size competition.

Fact: my computers hardware and software configuration loads GTA5 in 5-6 minutes. I experienced it first hand two days ago. Sorry all of physical reality does not align with your experience, not sorry.

Don’t believe me if you don’t want to.
