Momma's Boy Infinite Loading Bug
I just started playing this game again for nostalgia reasons (use to play it on Xbox 360 a lot), and man, the memories came back.

Unfortunately, I'm now at the mission, "Momma's Boy," and I'm stuck in a ridiculous loading screen where it says, "LOADING..."

I tried restarting my computer, but I'm still stuck with this problem.

It's been 10 minutes on try #2, and it's still stuck on this. Any help is appreciated.

I'm using Windows 10 Pro (64 Bit)

(I hear that another mission has this bug, though later on in the game, and if so, then that is stupid, really.)

Turn the stupid V-SYNC ON.

I'm not sure about this because it was a while ago, but I think the trick is to just enable it before the mission, do the mission (or just go past the loading screen) and then turn Vsync off.

Or as stated in the thread I mentionned in my 1st post :

" I found an alternative solution and that's to use an application to lock the frame rate at 60. I used RivaTuner and worked fine, no input lag "

i found the fix, you need to do the affinity and then turn it back thanks for the hlp tho.
Guys, honestly I just had this issue for the last couple of days, wondering how to remvoe it. I had V-SYNC on the entire time i was playing, and still had the issue. I turned V-SYNC off and it worked. Just a heads up

V-SYNC off and on doesn't work any other fixes

What i did was go to nvida control panel and set the refresh rate to 60 fps, Then play the game in windowed mode to keep the game from playing any faster. Worked flawlessly

Hi everyone, I know its been too much time but i found a solution. I have encountered this problem on several quests. This is what my solution is: Just before loading screen appers, prees home to open rockstar overlay and wait 5 or 10 seconds. Then, close rockstart overlay, u can continue quest. I know this is so stupid but it worked for other quests too.
