Yeah they're committed to stopping cheaters. The one and only kind of cheater that matters to them, the ones who drop money. R* wants us to be attacked by others, it's the core of their game's design, so they don't give a f*ck about cheaters who just blow people up or crash them.

Yep - a horrific attitude for a "top tier" company to have. 

 

To think there's not even a ban appeal process like almost everyone else offers too. Ridiculous. But no because that costs them money. 

 

And people wonder why the world's so bad, when even the virtual world sucks.

The one thing I experienced quite a lot recently were some sort of instant apartment invites, being some sort of teleport instead of coming over the phone. I always got a black loading screen, but disconnecting my internet and lagging out solved that so far.

Its the go-to thing cheaters do when they want to level their K/D or something, if you'd sit out that loading screen you end up in-front of the apartment you got invited too, alongside every other player in the sess, the cheater responsible will be ready with a mini-gun or rpg or whatever, some even go the extra mile and make a mini prison at the apartment door so it becomes a sort of forced fight-club (until cool-down for suicide in interaction menu ends anyway)

Sometimes when they do this they try force you to lose your apartment (you will see some message top-left that you cant stay in the apartment because the owner just sold it) but thank f- this was actually fixed and is no longer possible (message remains but so do your apartments) a bunch of cheat makers just dont know that this was fixed like 2 years ago so some menu's still have this option.

you have no idea how much joy it gives me when i enable "apartment invite protection", see everybody's dot get mass teleported, and wait 3 buildings away with a thermal scope since it's always eclipse towers. I swear these modders are dumber than a bag of rocks because they almost NEVER enable god mode when they do it and they try pinning the modder blame on me. I used to get joy in hunting oppressors, but ruining modders and their day just gives me such a fuzzy feeling inside

 

a fuzzy feeling that shouldn't even f*cking exist. Imagine having anti-cheating worse than VAC. And they claim to have banned a ton of accounts, like, could have f*cking fooled me

They are using the ton since they only banned 2000 people out of 10 million. lol

Been getting a strobe like effect on my screen recently. Makes the lobby literally unplayable. Just had one where it was like a green graphical glitch nonstop flickering on the screen. Whole lobby said they had it too

Because the virtual worlds, no matter which, are being built on the principles of the current world we live in. That is one of the reasons open world games suck in late 2000s. I've used to have so much fun in old games like San Andreas or Vice City and IV, but that was another era. I don't want to "own" cars in GTA, I want to steal them FFS.

Just a PSA to let people know that the best way to counter a godmode jet if you can't snipe them out is to use the Sterling

 

Try to aim for the pilot window with the machine guns you will almost always shoot them out.

Been sniping people since PS3 era from the ground. I swear to god these jets never learn, same for the mk2 scrubs.

You know how some modders can blow you up and insta-kill you within a push of a button? Yeah, Rockstar decided to take idea from that and use that to their advantage by implementing such ability via the Orbital Cannon.

 

So not only are they okay with mods that don't affect their profits, they use them to their advantage by implementing them into the game in a different manner for their own monetary gain.

 

It also explains why they are okay with players teleporting to their apartments in an instant, similar to how modders teleport. 

 

Revolting company. Absolutely vile. Sickening to the stomach.

Same thing with the Oppressor and other missile-armed weaponized vehicles. 4-5 years ago, I was being attacked by rocket armed flying Zentornos. Same thing with the explosive ammo, too. Rockstar realized that 1) those abilities were tempting people to become modders and 2) they could sell those abilities to non-modders.

 

They've definitely taken inspiration from the things modders have done with their game, to make stuff they can sell us.

[suicidal_banana]

One of their other classic tricks has made a return, being unable to get a vehicle delivered to you, lovely

What kind of sick, twisted, f*cked up company does this?

[Black-Dragon96]

Yeah the scriptkids get more powerfull bug they are also getting a lot more stupid.

Met one of these f*ckers yesterday. He was in godmode and used a bounty to bait people. One thing he forgot, he only put himself in godmode not the mk2 he was riding (or the vehicles he used later on). So I kept blowing his vehicles up until he left.

Rockstar Games has begun the process of wiping accounts on the console variants for those players who took part in well-known recent money glitch(es). 

[mute!]

See you guys in 2021 where hopefully the cheating is nonexistent in the new and improved GTA Online.

Twitter and Reddit. 

 

Saw a screenshot of someone having an email from Rockstar and their entire account is being wiped similar to what happens if you're caught using cheats on PC, except for the 30 day suspension.

Turns out these guys already found a workaround, now it's certain. I can sense it already, a new wave, a new tide to wipe out these poor souls drowning in piles of money of everything, until what's left is only a few naked people.

I warned my friends that glitch was gonna end with people in tears, they didn't believed me.

Public lobbies on pc is still cheater heaven. Money drops. Junk in my garage. Same old.

 

Then I quit the game. Fix firewall blocking and play safe solo or with whitelisted friends/crew only.

 

Playing in open public is pointless with all the cheaters.

 

Still sad but true.

[GtaV2020]

I cant imagine that GtaOnline Is 8 Years Old Game & rockstarganes cant fix bugs and glitches in their own game !!!!! This is the only game that contains alot of glitches and i dont know why rockstargames didn’t fix the bugs on their own game 

[mute!]

*knocks on wood*

Honestly, I've put in maybe 38+hrs since returning in late June and I've not run into any cheaters or grifters while playing on PC. And this is while playing in full lobbies too. This doesn't mean the problem isn't still there but it's not as bad as 2016-2017 days that's for sure.

The workaround is a bit harder you need to own the criminal enterprise pack to be able to do the glitch we will see when rockstargames will patch this workaround , They are too slow in patching glitches I dont know why

First two lobbies. Then exit to some solo racing. No point in racing with cheaters. The world records on pc are LOL.

[nido997]

well , i´ve never seen this happened to me before (needless to say that i´ve entered my garage because that hacker started to kill and freeze ppl) :

 

also , relatively new to me , is that huge amount of cheaters in Premium races !!!??? like in 1 out of every 2-3 premium race i did , there was a hacker with super sonic speed , sometimes teleporting through the checkpoints ...

R* needs to do something about this , it´s so annoying ....
