Setting for Loading a New Session?

[MJ7791]

I've been stuck in the loading screen. Only the sky with clouds and notifications are visible telling me a player left, a player died, or a player has killed another player. Force quit the game after waiting 10 minutes of reading notifications. Is there a way to fix it on my end?

I found the best way to exit a prolonged loading screen is to use Quitter from nexus mods

I play in an invite only session because I don't EVVEERRRR get stuck in loading screens when I'm in one

not much you can do, and it would just happen the next time you tried to enter a instance.

you can press the HOME key and access social club, but from there pretty much all you can do is quit.

suspend the GTA .exe in windows resource monitor for 7ish seconds then resume it. tab back into the game and you will load into that stuck session by yourself. from there you can try again to join a new one.

They probably make certain parts of the game easier, like a better HUD map, but I avoid them. Played World of Warcraft for over a decade. It's a hassle updating the game and waiting for the mod devs to update. Became so dependent on mods I finally quit.

That's what I'm trying to reach. Unfortunately, when the game first begins it loads to the public session.

I'm seeing that now. Usually press ALT+F4 and then click accept to leave. A few times the Rockstar application forced me to use the task manager.

I'm getting back into the habit of starting the game in single player, then going straight to an invite only session via the escape menu to get online.

What Quitter Does:
About this mod.
Quitter is a small hotkey-based application that allows to create Solo Public Session in GTA Online on demand by suspending the process. It can also kill the game or network connection to prevent unwanted transactions if the situation demands.

How did you manage that? Whenever I enter Story mode and use the menu to connect online it only has a single option to join Public. Nothing else. Forced to wait until I enter public and then Closed Friend or Invite Only. Are you playing the Legacy version?

I think you need to join a public session or Story before you can select invite only

Landing Page - Online or Story
Landing Page - Online - Join Session - Escape Menu-->Online-->Play GTA Online-->Invite Only Session

Landing Page - Story - Escape Menu-->Online-->Play GTA Online-->Invite Only Session

Previously you could load straight into Story mode, then select Escape Menu-->Online-->Play GTA Online-->Invite Only Session

Only a single selection for Online was available before your Esc menu suggestion. Here is a screenshot of the menu before now.

Maybe because I was using the controller to access Online. Now the session type is available. Thank you.
