Hi folks. Just been affected by this bug, so I just wanted to share it to warn you to avoid it if you haven't been affected already. There is a game breaking bug in the Festive Update that affects your frame rate, disables your quick menu, and causes problems when entering garages. It is really annoying! Avoid the mask shop! Rockstar have (at least THIS time!) acknowledged there is a bug and are hopefully going to release a fix soon, so until then, stay away from the mask shop  Read more here... support.rockstargames.com/hc/communities/public/questions/203918056 |

Weird. I wonder if it's only affecting one system, or certain users. I haven't noticed any problems with mine and I used the Gingerbread and Reindeer masks a bit. Can't access rockstargames.com cuz of dumb firewall  lol |

No problem. Some sessions I've tried have played okay, and a reload seems to sort the bug out for a spell. I guess we just have to bear with it til Rockstar sort it out.

AFAIK the bug concerns all systems, on the R* support forum there are users complaining from old gen and surprisingly also from new gen. I am affected as well (PS3). I acquired all christmas masks available and from then on I wasn't able to open the interaction menu any more. Switching sessions or starting / leaving a mission normally helps and the framerate is okay afterwards, but soon enough, you want to use the menu and hold select, and it is back to choppy playback.
I hope R* fixes this soon, it is a very annoying bug. It sucks, when you find out you can't even heal with a candy bar or refresh armor while in a firefight or need a quick route on your GPS.
Stay away from the festive masks, that's my advice.
They have closed the thread in the support forum, there surely would be a whole shitload of reports by now...

Masks hide my girl's gorgeous face anyways.

After the end of the holiday event, the interaction menu issue is gone. Finally. I had a bit of e-mail traffic with R* in the meantime, but it seemed a bit like they were playing for time to reach the end of the event with minimum effort. Anyway, I am happy to set my vehicles to 'passenger' again, I was getting sick and tired of reclaiming my cars from mors mutual because some random dick took them for a ride.  |

Thanks reservoirdoc, I was wondering if the bug would disappear with the update and it seems that's what has happened thankfully. Ta for looking into it and the info here, looking forward to not getting my arse kicked quite so much in future survivals now I can get at my armour and snacks again!
