R* should just turn off GTA Online for a few days and fix it

[Adeel007]

I love the game but haven't played in a week since there's annoying kids with no social lives trolling doing god mode glitches and wall breaches - then you get the bigger ass holes that decide to mod the game with UFO's and s*it. Yet no word from R*, not even an update with a patch that removes this crap. I don't get why fan boys say "R* are busy its hard to patch" - they are a billion dollar company, nothing should be hard for them.

They should just turn off online until they get their s*it together and fix it. I wonder if this will carry on, onto Next gen consoles (Hey its current gen not next gen - stfu that's what all the companies call it).

No need to turn it off, it won't make it easier to fix. They just need to hurry up with the patch.

[henryborked]

I actually very much agree. Rockstar are keeping far too quiet.

However... there is a bitch and moan thread...

[meth.]

they can't really patch it tho

[Durtywhyteboi88]

Why don't you just leave your playstation off then pal,why doesn't rockstar do a lot of things

[Governator]

Only time will tell. Next-gen is the only hope. If not I'll just f*ck sh*t up on single with mods

[CrazyHandz]

Yes patch the modders.

 

 

 

Lol

[Johnny Sins]

I've barely seen any modders/god mode glitchers at all. Maybe I've seen 2 or 3 god mode glitchers since Online came out.

Spoken like a true fan boy - they should release a patch just to fix all this crap since it can't get fixed with hot fixes.

That thread is dead Mr wanabe mod.

I'm sure R* weighs their risk/rewards. How many people are going to completely stop playing because of the glitching and modding and how many people will continue in spite of, or BECAUSE of glitching and modding? Heck, I bet people are actually starting to play JUST so they can god mode and money glitch. Even though it's a problem for a lot of players, until it's a business problem, I don't know how much fixing will take place

 

Personally all of this annoys me quite a bit because I can't stand unfair playing fields, but I can't see myself getting too serious where I quit. And I'm sure once R* decides that the modding is having a substantial impact on shark cards and gamer participation, they will actually fix it.

actually it's spoken like someone who understands how the mods work and knows that rockstar CAN NOT patch them. imo the game is now f*cked unless you play private sessions

The Garage Trap hack is a real game breaker. I spent 25 minutes deleting my PS3 cache, the garage trap is then gone, join a lobby and it's back within 20 minutes. People shouldn't have to be forced to play private lobbies. The silence from R* is deafening.

 

I can live with meteors but recent hacks have made this game practically unplayable. What an absolute mess of a great game. Why anybody who enjoys playing the game, would actually want to hurt the game is beyond me.

 

I don't understand how a game with a $170 million budget can be hacked so easily.

[rickreim]

If they did that I might actually get some sleep at night. Having a job, a family, and still trying to play some serious GTAO is wearing me out. I wouldn't mind only cause I need to catch up on some sleep right now

[redpoint]

Lol the game is quite a mess to be honest.

 

Everyone gets raped

 

If you're not getting raped you're getting raped with bullets by the guy who won't die (godmode)

That big blue sh*t that f*cks up your garage.

 

But you know what, godmode, mass rapes and garage f*ckers is nothing to R*, until the next $$$ glitch comes in, then they'll sh*t themselves. They couldn't give two f*cks as long as people aren't making money off this.

I've heard of that one, seen pictures on twitter. But I haven't experienced it. I probably won't play until they patch this crap. Instead they post sh*t like *Hey check out this crew cut" and other rubbish like the game is not broken.

[Zito]

I can get a good look at a T-bone by sticking my head up a bull's ass, but I'd rather take a butcher's word for it.

Forget a one time thing they should shut dowm for 4-6 hours a week for maintenance. I remember playing socom on ps2 and how mad I would get if I tried to log in on monday morning from 4am -8/10 ish.

 

They had scheduled downtimes every week when they could work out kinks. Once you remember when it is you start to love it because all day mondays and even into tuesday would be so much better then by the weekends. Way less lag, freezes, etc. While the douchetards are trying to figure out the new hacks/glitches and workarounds.

 

At least this gave us legit gamers a noticeably more fun experience for that time closely following the maintenance downtimes.

[CatchMeTrolling]

The correct way?

[Charles_Lee_Raye]

^^ yes the way I described would be the correct way to run an online game...

You have to reply the correct way bro

[E•MO•TION]

What if they don't know how to fix it?

[mareepx]

I could cope with GTA Online being off for a few days considering every time I actually want to play it I freeze within 15 minutes.

If they fixed that, that'd be good.

[SpidersWeb]

They don't need to shut anything down.

 

Do the dev / testing, then rollout to live.

If you can't enjoy the game at the moment then you can take a break, but I'd be pissed off if they shut it down.

[meth.]

shutting it down won't fix anything. they need to update something every 2 days for a few weeks. it would make it extremely difficult for coders to find the offsets. short of doing that an update once a month will only quiet things down for a few days.

As much as I would love to see the forum community go apesh*t... I don't see this happening

[Cant-B-Faded]

All I do anymore is invite-only. I'm just waiting for a free mode creator.

[AceThaCreator]

Do we all want this to happen...HELL YEA.....Will R* do this....HELL NO.

[Mr. Rocko]

They can't fix something that's not finished.

[Relative007]

No need to turn it off, it won't make it easier to fix. They just need to hurry up with the patch.

 

This basically. Would need funmw2 for example to confirm things, but as far as I am aware:

 

For simplicity consider the division of the game as being Client Side (local console based) and Server Side (Host servers). Updating the Client side scripts (those allowing your game to run on your console) requires an Update since coding would need to be added to these scripts, new scripts produced (which may call on existing scripts) or combinations thereof. Hence if the current game-breaking exploits are exploiting vulnerabilities in the Client side scripts nothing will change until Update 1.16 is released.

 

Money is handled Server side and this is why R* can release Hot-fixes to these glitches more easily...I could be way off the mark, but I think the reasons above are an accurate enough simplification.
