GTA Online hangs on the loading screen - it could be because of that

With some consoles, GTA Online regularly hangs on the loading screen. We'll show you how to solve the problem.

GTA Online: Game is stuck in the loading screen

• Server overloaded: The most common cause is the overloading of the GTA Online servers. Here it usually only helps to end the game and then restart.
• "Connection lost": If your network is overloaded or the available bandwidth is very low, no connection to GTA Online can be established. The quickest way to solve the problem is to restart your router. To do this, disconnect the router from the power supply and plug it back in after 10 seconds.
• Clean CD: If the CD is dirty or scratched, the game cannot be loaded. Clean the CD and try again.
