I have been trying to play GTA Connected with San Andreas and sometimes GTA IV, and the weird thing is that the base game runs completely fine in single player with no lag or crashes at all. But as soon as I launch through GTA Connected and join a server, I start getting random freezes after a few minutes of gameplay. Sometimes it recovers after a few seconds, but other times it just hangs and I have to close it completely.
I already tried lowering graphics settings, running as admin, and even reinstalling both the game and the client, but the issue still comes back. It does not seem like a hardware problem since everything else runs smoothly, so I am wondering if it is something related to server sync, mods, or maybe background processes interfering.
Has anyone here dealt with this kind of freezing specifically in GTA Connected and found a proper fix or at least narrowed down the cause?
Also this might sound off topic, but while troubleshooting and reinstalling things I was making a small online payment and got stuck because I could not quickly check my FAB bank balance in time, so if anyone happens to know a fast way to check it without going through the full login flow that would actually help me avoid that kind of interruption again.
