What about when you've lagged out from regular free roam and into your private solo lobby? Is that patched yet? That's going to suck if your stats/cash etc. get screwed with while you're in the middle of selling your MC, bunker, CEO and other business

Hmm I'm not too sure, I would guess that as long as you're "online" you're potentially going to be facing issues. 
I did have a friend tell me that just last night, he was in the Race Creator and he was being messed about with there whilst testing a race.

I think they can still connect to your games by inserting your username or UID or something.

Just a question: Is there anything that lets you follow other players into lobbys?

...

Ah I see. Is there a way to stop that?

 

There are a few well known methods which NOT require to use a mod menu:

1) Stalker may have mutual friends. If a stalker befriend someone from your friendlist, he can do the following

Online - Crews - Friend Crews - {Select the Crew you are in} - View Members - Join Black-Dragon

 

Suggestions: doublecheck you don't have any mutual friends with a stalker. If he has a closed profile, check the friendlist of each of your friends

 

2) Stalker can be in any of your crews or have a pending invite from any of the crews you are in.

Again, stalker DOES NOT have to be a member of the crew in order to join members. All he need to do is have an invite.

 

A typical scenario:

- Stalker selects the crew you are in, sends a requests to join this crew

- Moderator thinks "just a normal dude", sends him an invite 

- Now stalker DOES NOT have to accept this particular invite, he can keep it forever. As long as he has the invite, he can join ANY member of this crew:

Online - Crews - Invites - {Some pending invite} - View Members - Join Black-Dragon

 

Suggestions: Try to change the active crew. I might be wrong, but I think they can only join you via the crew trick, if the compromised crew is set as active. if you a crew moderator, check any pending requests. You should be able to ban the player from joining. Check the crew hierarchy of any of the crew. Try to play in your own closed crew for a while. If you don't have one, try to play in the IGN / MP3 crews (any crew with millions of players), they can't stalk you within these crews, since the player list is too huge to be loaded.

 

I don't think it's the modder that is trying to stalk you. I think this guy is just a tryhard, they use these techniques pretty often.

Well in short: "Im f*cked."

I'm pretty sure he is connected to atleast one of my crewmates. I know for a fact that they had a fight and I know that this crewmate is a little retarded and adds this kind of people to his friendslist to continue the fight later on.

Problem is, he has not been online for nearly 2 months and is probably not coming back any time soon. He is in 2 of my 3 crews and in my friendslist, so its a piece of cake for this pile of dog poop (my stalker not my   crewmate) to follow me.

You already know what to do.

[Coranub]

Do anyone know if the modders can effect the Arena mode? I play mostly with myself on gta, but doing arena mode with a friend when he is online. I have encountered cheaters a long time ago in races, Death matches and other game modes...even darts. So if arena mode is cheater infested ill stick to playing with my friend atm. 🤔

[Non Funkable Token]

They can probably mess with people within arena modes, heists or whatever. Good thing is, those twats prefer to ruin the fun in freeroam, gives them more freedom for it. I barely crossed paths with modders in locked activities, and to this day never met one in arena matches. 

[Coranub]

I`ll give it a try tonight, I met a few modders doing Fleeca few years ago. And one who tried to use a mod menu subtly while helping him with CMM  thinking the rest of us wouldn't notice lol. 🤣

Maybe R* have given up? Curious to see if  RDR 2 comes to Pc if they learnt from their mistakes. Or if GTA 6 comes out to pc, are we gonna have the same as with GTA 5? I hope not, but time  will tell.

[lost-in-emotions]

yesterday on nearly all arena war maps on some locations "shopping carts" or "steel cages".

if you hit them you will flip all over, get stucked in it or explode. fantastic.

Remake the crew so your ranking isn't very high

Well, if anyone here has been badsported by a modder, just send me a direct message here with your social club ign. We can meet up in-lobby and I'll get ya out. Just trying to extend some help here because this issue is ongoing and wide spread and r* dosen't seem to have done anything about it in all this time with this offensive ugc b.s. method.

Damn. Does only remove you from bad sport, or does it also remove the title "bad sport" on the player list? I've still got it, even though Rockstar bailed me out (finally) the title still remains

Bad sport title status is hit or miss, usually the title goes away once the relevant stats have been altered, but the title is usualy gone within an hour or so so it just depends on how soon you perform a cloud save.

[AUScowboy]

This isn't a PC specific question but I figured you guys might know, has anybody been banned for exploiting the bunker supplies glitch? I lost so much money on disappearing special MkII ammo that I didn't worry at first, but now I'm feeling kinda sketchy about it. Obviously the safest route would be to avoid any exploit, but how seriously do you think the take something like the bunker supplies glitch?

It will come and they have not learned from their mistakes. VI will not be significantly better, I speculate, but that's not important for me because I will not be playing online. I'm done with R* online approach.

Sadly that isn't the case for me. Still says I'm "Bad Sport" rather than "Clean Player". It has no affect on gameplay, but having it when I should is really annoying. I've pretty much given up with the game. I'll play in the snow and when it goes I shall not return. This issue was the nail in the coffin for me and Rockstar are just incompetent. I shall not say anymore as this is the wrong thread

[flexcreator]

^ What if you ask a modder to put you back in a badsport completely and then remove you from it? Like complete the full cycle.

I'm a little above 150 Mio of various supply glitches if I merge bunker, cocaine, meth, counterfeit money on my main account. I'm doing good. I wasn't aware this was a glitch, I thought it was how Bunker and MC businesses were supposed to be played.

Are you talking about the "Buy supplies when it's near full for 15K and idle in contact mission for 2 hours and 20 minutes to save 60K"?

 

To be honest, I don't think the money saved is THAT much. Think if all the client jobs you could've done, and cars to export. Besides, businesses don't seem to build product when you're in Arena Wars. At least for me.

It seemed like my nightclub product was stagnating during AW marathons... good to know, I got my taxi and already have 2 vanilla Blista Compacts. This is just the push I needed to abandon AW for good.

 

What a waste... we'll probably never get a stock ZR380 or Imperator, all because R* wanted an incentive to get us to buy an arena. I wish they understood that most of us would have bought one regardless and that they would have made even more money by offering stock versions of those cars as well.

 

Well I've derailed this thread enough. Thank you for the answers, very much appreciated!

I was put into bad sport by a modder, rockstar fixed this for me but my character still says bad sport? not sure if this is normal or not.

Are you a modder? In which case I salute you for being one of the few/rare good ones.

Agreed. I don’t even think it’s a glitch to be strictly accurate. At worst, it’s taking advantage of the way R* have specified what you actually get for buying supplies.

 

You aren’t actually paying to receive 1/5th of a bar, you are paying an offered price to completely refill it. So for instance if you’re still in free mode and your supplies go down to the point where it would now have cost 30k to refill, the 15k spent still completely re-fills it, not just what was left when you bought them. The contact mission is just a way to drain the full bar before the supplies arrive.

I normally don’t advocate for anyone for anyone to tinker with menus in GTAO, but this is a commendable service. Please keep doing things like this - Bad Sport is a joke of a system and cheating assholes just keep abusing it.

The Bunker does produce.

The MC businesses don't.

At least for me.

it's possible that you're not staying in a match for long enough for businesses to produce a unit of product (what's that, 7 minutes?).

Is pc worth it if your a pvp player who avoids solo lobbies, how often does this sh*t actually occur?

1-No.

2-More often than honest players would want. Not every session is infested, not in the slighty, but you'll cross paths with modders from time to time. That sh*t isn't an issue on PS4/XB1, so, you'll be better there.

Looking for PvP will make you run into them more often.
