CheesyWalnuts Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) we all know that the current GTA:O uses p2p, which has it's fair bit of issues and is really just bad. Peer to Peer Pros -Most likely never gets shut downCheaper for R*Cons -Causes connectivity issuesDepends on a "player" host, this means if his/her internet is bad then sh*t will be badServers Pros - Way better for everyoneMore stable servers Cons - Will most likely get shut down when a newer GTA releases.Possibly requires more maintenance I feel like this is never talked about but would make a huge difference, what do you think? I prefer Servers. Edited April 26, 2017 by KertFaceMan Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/886170-peer-to-peer-or-servers/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOUGL4S1 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) I think the servers aren't really an issue most of the time, the issue is how GTA Online's architecture is flawed. Things like 10-minute loading screens, or if you have a connection problem you have to go back to Singleplayer, and more 10-minute loading, and then you need to go back into online and etc. It would be cool to have more control over the server we are in, for example, a slider for how many players you want to play with in a public section, so if you want to be thrown into a 30-player server for fun you could do it, or if you want your public server to just have a random low-level guy so you can make missions in peace you could. GTA IV's Multiplayer was much better in that way.

Sussus Amongus Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I really doubt the servers would get shut down when another GTA releases. Look at GTA IV. IV's multiplayer is still running after 9 years.

B Dawg Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 I really doubt the servers would get shut down when another GTA releases. Look at GTA IV. IV's multiplayer is still running after 9 years. Well, GTA IV only uses Games For Windows Live (Xbox Live PC equivalent) as a Master Server, everything is still handled Peer 2 Peer I guess.

Maibatsu545 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 (edited) Peer to Peer is garbage. Yeah I'm really glad my Pacific Standard Finale is being hosted on Joe Schmoe's potato internet.

B Dawg Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 And to answer the OP's question, Community Servers would be the best Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/886170-peer-to-peer-or-servers/#findComment-1069538788 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Raven_ Posted April 27, 2017 Share Posted April 27, 2017 Servers, no question. But I would like the option to host servers privately, similar to the server rental system in BF3. P2P would work fine for invite only sessions but I don't know if that's feasible to implement.

xDatxJunkyx Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 No one better not be defending P2P, you must be on crack if you find P2P to be "Okay" . . . blech, RDR2O better not have this issue . . . constant black screens, ----- left ----- left ----- left ----- left ----- left Yeah, let's try and build up on that instead of bringing it along.

Earleys Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Never thought about this but like others I agree that servers would be the best option. But it would be nice if they could also build in support for p2p (or custom servers!) in case they decide to stop hosting.

Qrix Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 In RDR2 also R* used P2P. I'm pretty sure that in GTA6 also use. Cons for P2P is possibility to use "hard" cheats Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/886170-peer-to-peer-or-servers/#findComment-1071094303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkymnäsWolf Posted March 2, 2020 Share Posted March 2, 2020 I would seriously pay up to $10 (per player) a month if they would give us the option for private PvE servers which only you and your friends could join.

Standard Deluxe 59 Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 I'd prefer the old peer to peer system if I could still create solo public sessions. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/886170-peer-to-peer-or-servers/#findComment-1071097791 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xiled Posted March 8, 2020 Share Posted March 8, 2020 I would be like 20% more likely to support micros if they paid for dedicated servers, actual fixes and changes, maintenence, real anti-cheat, balance changes, community wide update ideas, and actual communication between the developers and us. I may not be the most happy with the current state of runescape, but they have supported the game for a very long time with there members paying for the game.
