Simply in time for it to depend as GTA 5’s eleventh birthday current of types, GTA On-line’s lastly had anti-cheat software program added to its notoriously teleporting deity-heavy PC model.
How are issues going to date? Properly, very chill, until you are one of many gamers which have ended up locked out because of the platform you are utilizing, unable to hop again into Los Santos as a distraction from all of that chatter about GTA 6 doubtlessly catching a delay or not (as of proper now, the reply to that appears to be a tentative no).
As revealed within the patch notes for this newest replace to On-line, the precise anti-cheat software program that Rockstar’s added in is BattlEye, a reputation that’ll possible be acquainted to people who’ve performed Future 2, Fortnite, or PUBG. In case you solely play story mode and do not fancy having to run it, Rockstar’s additionally added the choice disable the software program, which may ban offenders on a {hardware} stage (i.e, in case you’re caught, your comnputer could be rendered unable to fireplace up GTA On-line), for single participant.
The brief time period outcomes of this, apart from some obvious FPS teething points that do not look to be common, has been what I can solely describe as a grinder or automobile meet fanatic’s moist dream. “So I performed full one hour [plus] in a public foyer with out taking ages to load in, [or to] step out and in of properties,” wrote one participant, “Nobody teleported me to Cayo/LSIA/their condo. No lags. Nothing. Simply 27 guys creating mayhem in a public foyer. Even bought some enterprise product in [a] public [server] after ages. Felt good. I’m very joyful.”
So for now at the very least, you may take pleasure in a little bit of a paradise on Earth, supplied you may keep away from the common griefers and that chgeaters do not discover a approach across the software program in double-quick time, as some gamers concern. Although, these utilizing the Steam Deck or Linux cannot achieve entry to that paradise, with BattlEye’s addition having locked them out of operating GTA On-line, since Rockstar appears to not have gotten the sport on the record of titles with BattlEye anti-cheat which can be playable on Deck by way of Steam’s Proton compatibility device as of writing.
Annoyed gamers are submitting complaints to Rockstar’s buyer assist within the hopes of convincing the developer to do one thing about this in some unspecified time in the future down the road, so we’ll must see if it finally ends up issuing an replace that permits GTA On-line to work on Deck as soon as extra.
