After this update my game has been freezing when downloading new tunes or purchasing new cars. It stays stuck and I'm forced to force close. On Series X, no issues prior to this update.
 
I can finally get all the Stories accolades :) I tried them both a dozen times (Ek Balam and the final shortcut) and it never worked before the patch…
 
Next month, another 1000 FP you can't spend all in one go, to continue apologising for multiplayer issues. This patch made it worse; multiplayer, performance, convoys etc.
 
Looks like there's critical issues on Xbox Series X, with very long loading times, equally long saving times and perpetual load screens. :(
 
Anyone else hoping that they've fixed the crashing for wheel users and forgotten to write it into the patch notes?

Save yourself the false hope...
