## What it is
A proof-of-concept DLL injection that patches two bugs in GTA Online to drastically reduce load times on CPU-bound systems. It was officially fixed by Rockstar in March 2021 and targets specific hardcoded game versions.

## Use cases
- cut GTA Online loading times by 70%
- fix CPU-bound loading bottlenecks in GTA Online
- learn how game loading was reverse-engineered and patched
- study a DLL injection proof of concept

## When to choose
- you want to study the reverse-engineering writeup or source as a learning resource
- you run an old, unpatched game version on a CPU-bound system

## When to avoid
- you play current GTA Online versions - the bug is officially fixed
- you want a polished, user-friendly mod
- you cannot risk account suspension from modifying the game in online mode

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: abandoned
- function: reverse-engineering, developer-tools
- domain: gaming-tools, performance, reverse-engineering
- platform: windows, cpp
- tags: game-modding, dll-injection, proof-of-concept, gta-online, load-time-optimization, performance
