This is normal - hence why I struggled to enjoy MP on the consoles. From what I can see nothing has changed at all aside from visuals and heists.
The entire thing is very finicky and you just end up wasting a great deal of valuable time staring at loading screens etc. This is why those hundreds of youtube videos on how to earn tons of cash exist - the whole system is tedious. I've spent most of the hour I played online today just fumbling around with the menus because I keep selecting the wrong things. The superfast tooltips in the top left corner are next to useless.
Also, is Snapmatic - the thing on the Rockstar Social webby that shows your snaps working for anyone? All my previous PS3 snaps seemed to have vanished and I have nothing in my collection now, not even the ones I took today on my PC version.
You need to get on our TS mate, even if you're only listening. I played multiplayer for about 90 mins total and got helped through it by experienced members, made it far more enjoyable and friendly (when we weren't chasing each other).
