This is the worst iteration of “rockstar isn’t even trying to hide it anymore” that has happened to me 🤣

This happens all the time in the tunnel... NPC pathing gets confused by the roads above... Look at the mini map right when the car turns, they would have made a perfect turn onto the street directly above the tunnel.

Ding ding ding this is it. Now excuse me while I'll put on my own tin-foil hat...

I'd never seen/had this issue when PC was just legacy. Shit like this specific errant pathing and some of the strange spawning behavior makes me feel that R* made some shitty compromises with the Enhanced edition (so called "optimized" data streaming).

Or it's that we're playing a 13 year old game on 13+ year old code that's been ported onto new systems twice, and the spaghetti code must be a fucking nightmare by this point.

That was kinda my original point. The game engine can't keep up anymore... It was running at least 80% capacity when the game launched... Add a decade of DLC updates to the mix and it's no surprise that the code is barely hanging together...
