Do you want to know what the definition of "brainrot" is? Bitching about "peer to peer" while everyone is complaining about everything being run on company servers that can be discontinued at any time effectively nullifying money spent on the game.
@@mysteriousfleas Yeah except they do also keep all your account information on their servers, it's just that the multi billion dollar company couldn't spare the expense of making dedicated servers so players don't have to run peer to peer in 2024. You are actively defending a decision that has rendered the pc platform literally unplayable because you would want to play gta v online after gta vi online has released. Brainrot is definitely the word I would use.
how my account has survived almost 10 years online & multiple attempts to take it out by modders is beyond me , this is why i play invite only sessions these days , its a waste of time being in any public lobby .
Kudos to you for keeping such a lengthy topic in a 10 min video man but majority of us were expecting a 30 min video elaborating "Everything" relating to hacking and modding.
If Rockstar Wants To Stop Cheaters When GTA 6 Roles Around They Need To Either Use The Best Anti-Cheat Engine Or Just Dont Release It On PC Because I know Modders can Call SWAT TEAMS On innocent players which is just ridiculous
Hacking* idk why people say modded. For any other game on PC and console, the term hacking is used, modding refers to something completely different and usually for non-online games.
The game's main problem is it's p2p based networking. They should rewrite the entire networking code which would cost a lot of money and they would have to buy/rent better servers to handle it.
I can see why they did it that way back when GTA online first launched. I’m sure they didn’t expect it to become so huge. But where they went wrong(read: cheaped out) is they didn’t invest anything back in building the backend infrastructure to support such a huge game and provide a better experience(and on pc, a safer) for the players. They made, and still are making fat stacks head over heels with shark cards. It’s so ironic that GTA online is such a buggy mess, many glitches and bugs are present for years but if there’s a new money/dupe glitch found, suddenly it’s patched within hours. That’s how you know where their priority is.
With how much money GTA:O is still making, there really is no reason why GTAV and VI can't have dedicated servers. It won't only benefit PC but console too since a dedicated server is magnitudes better than PS5 or Xbox Series. It's already a standard for many other games. Don't let R* make you believe such a thing would cost tens of billions, it won't, studios 1/10th of their size use them, MMOs that make less money than GTA:O use them, Battlefield games were using them 20 years ago.
from an ex-modder, i used to mod to help other people out, not from money which will flag their accounts, but from other modders or greifers that focus on low levels, it got to a point that because rockstar didn't have the anti-cheats, some of us agreed to be the anti-cheat. modders had the power wayyy before the source code leaks. like we had the power to even change the host of the same session, we also had the option to people glitch in the loading screen and also crash their game (before source leaks). The power of the mod menus are scary.
Which doesn't work on other modders, as most menus (especially payed) has protects. Doing things like crashing, will just let the other modder kick you instead
Even after rockstar games added battleye, cheaters already found an way to play gta online with mod menus few days after update was implemented which truly shows how far cheaters would go.
@@GrannyTheftAutotrue why would we ever want to go back to a locked down box that has little to no modding support very few graphic options and no real freedom for the user
@@GrannyTheftAutoThan don’t play we will have fun paying gta 6 without modders. I’m not defending them but it’s always been pay to play and rockstar has taken that up a notch even with gta +.
I wanna do the same after playing this game legit all these years... 5 mil on a police interceptor is crazy, they are greedy and I never paid a single dollar and wont pay a single cent since I literally paid money to played it. If you guys find mod menu share with me pls, @ me here
Very true. Unsportsmanlike, poor minded individuals afraid to lose. They'll job teleport or switch sessions to avoid being killed after griefing lol. Ppl forgot it's a game and losing is apart of games. Imagine watching a football game and the other team walks off field because they're losing 😂😂
I know right, it’s one thing to cheat for money but to play games all day to cheat in PvP you have to be straight up ass at the game and delete it then. 😂
@@aryangandhi5836 I actually respect ppl who cheat for money over buying shark cards because the gaming industry has become a scam and no one seems to care. But cheating for PvP is scumbag behaviour.
@@BigBigTriggerBingo! I brought a modded acc strictly for cars. I don’t pvp anymore I used to be a sweat back in 2020. Now I live in lscm😂😂. All I care about is cars.
@@OPPU73NT I'm the same way now, I trade modded cars with friends etc. If it's not a custom playlist with my creator community I avoid PvP as they're most likely in godmode or gunna run lol.
As bad as the PC modding issue is, it's never gonna get fixed, just gotta hope R* actually puts in effort with an anti cheat for GTA 6. At least you can't mod on console, on current gen anyway. I don't think PS4 JB can get online yet anyway.
@Ducky69247 Only until PS4 stops being supported then jailbreaks will get online eventually, PS3 was exploited very early on, but I think current GTA Online will be shut down before jailbreaks even get online tho. Plus once GTA 6 comes out no one will be on PS4 anymore anyway aha
@Jetro You forgot to mention that Rockstar Games did attempt to fix modders joining friends only / private sessions and as of now haven’t had any problems in private sessions for a while now.
Just for anyone concerning, yes they can crash your game but i think they only do that by deleting some content that has to be with the "update" files inside GTA V main folder, because it happened to me, i simply ran a file verification and it downloaded like 3 gigs, of course its annoying but is a little fix until something can be done
Sorry, did I hear that right? Menus weren't a problem on 360/Ps3? As someone who got the game day 1, and played online when it first released (and was called a beta at the time) menus were definitely not rare. Sure, not as often as they are on pc in modern day. but they were definitely not uncommon by any means. I still remember being constantly blown up by trails of explosions just driving down the road, having all my weapons removed from my wheel, losing/gaining money, etc. Maybe for some it wasn't as common, but that was not the case for all of us. Oh, let's not forget the countless times where loading into your Eclipse Tower garages (or any other 20 car, that was just the most common) had a 8 or 9 chance out of 10, to have a windmill spinning all throughout the garage, or a dozen wrapped bodies/corpses (the ones underwater, most may know them from the tunnel entrance for the Cayo Heist.) dropped all through the garage. Same with the big traffic cone shaped balloons you normally see in air races. They pop when hit (or at least they used to. I recall doing a couple air races in recent years, and they haven't popped upon impact.) I believe there were 1 or 2 other things put into the garages as well, but it's been so long I don't remember. Still remember being "locked" into those "cages" (the wheeled fence looking carts, upside down), having items placed on my head, being teleported, flying around in cars, etc. One of the funniest ones I experienced was watching a Dump fly around. Y'know, the giant yellow quarry dump truck. Bus is cool and all when it happens, but the dump was just too goofy not to crack me up. This was all on 360, keep that in mind. It wasn't just one lobby, this was a normal occurrence. I'm not sure where the idea of "anti-cheat" comes from, seeing as 360's and PS3's were constantly jailbroken or whatever else they were doing/using at that time. Ope, just saw the part about not blaming then for giving themselves money (which I agree) but seeing the Independence Day suit reminded me of my favorite thing they used to do. The Sovereign. The motorcycle with the American flag livery/design on it. I remember being in a lobby where someone changed my bikes color for me to all black instead of the livery. Don't get me wrong, I love my flag and always have, but as someone who likes bikes, such as Harley's, seeing it in all black (and a few other colors but I stuck with black) I'll tell ya, it looked so nice. That is one thing I'd like to see them change. Just let us remove the livery and have open paint opens for the bike. It's not like it's the Liberator and exclusively pegasus, it's a buyable, storeable vehicle. Maybe I'll get lucky and come across someone who still has one of them, since unfortunately that account I had one on, was lost a long time ago.
@@mrnk88 I mean, back then, "tryhards" weren't a thing, not by name, as there wasn't really anything to be one at. But yeah, there were more than enough sleazy people going around. But that's been and will continue to be the standard in basically any game, especially if there's a pvp/competitive aspect to it. And for whatever reason, people have such a hard time, concept, acceptance, etc of losing. They just can NOT handle it. Whether its throwing controllers or other stuff, or its screaming at the top of their lungs, or even going so far as to physically go out of their way to actually cause harm to others. I get the whole getting annoyed in certain situations, especially if you know for a fact that one thing should've happened and you got legitimately jipped by bullshit. Or even just getting ever so unlucky and being annoyed because maybe it keeps happening. (My kind of "luck" right there.) And I get the whole getting mentally ticked off, but man, the extents that some people go is absurd. The mentality of "someone beat me, so now I'm going to pull out cheats and such to remove their stuff because I'm too shit, and so this is my only way to "beat" them". Just sad. Like, if you wanna use that stuff against AI (because let's be real, fuck AI in video games 😂), whether it's in like a solo story mode, or in a coop fighting pvp, sure. But pulling that against other real people, real players, it just says so much about how genuinely bad you are. I only had my weapons removed from me like 2 times if I recall, of course on 360. But in the years since, I've had so many sad ass "tryhards" or their friends because they couldn't themselves, boot me off. Or in some cases they tried. I will say, it's hilarious watching someone say "I'm gonna boot you" or "I've got your IP". Like, ok. Cool? Want a cookie? And they'll end up kicking their friend(s) or themselves. Or they'll tell me some set of numbers or a place that's of course absolutely nowhere near me. At BEST, I've had people tell me "hows *insert place name*?" And I have to look up where the hell they're naming, and that stuff is like 1½ or more hours away from me. (Apparently booting and IP grabbing does NOT work hand in hand for them, cause I never get anyone who can do/provide both against me. And it's always the ones who name a place, even if it is over an hour away, they never hit me off. I'm no tech guru, but I'm obviously missing how that can be so hard to do together 😂) But besides the occasional boot, which hasn't happened in a good while now that I think of it. Not that I can tell anyways. (Coincidentally, when it does happen, it's usually during a storm/bad weather, otherwise it doesn't. Might just be weird but legitimate timing, or who knows.) Too many little kids who suck at games, and can't even fight unfairly without still sucking.
@@jakeb7525 That's true, about the tryhard I meant pvp people in the lobby back in the day, but that guy got salty and reseted my level. Similar thing happened to my friend who's character got the skills reseted later on
@@mrnk88 yeah, stuff is just sad. Well, was/is. Since hell, on PC, people still do that (and more). Like damn, anything for that tiniest bit of attention. Just disappointing.
Is Rockstar fault. Rockstar and Take2 has lead the door open for hacker to steal information from their servers. Because this is not exclusive for GTA Online this also happen on GTA4 and RDR 2. You can see for example the leak of the GTA 6 trailer and information abouth the game that was stolen from the server pass year. That hacker was realese , so what kind of example is Rockstar doing about Network security for the Players?
They don't use servers remember, what's getting hacked is the info stored on a player's system, because it's used to host the games. but for everything else yea their security is bad and that's because they're told not to care about it, just keep making the TakeTwo CEO more and more money. He needs to be investigated.
Menus weren't a problem during PS3/X360 days?? Naaahhh LMAO Blud forgot about the eclipse tower'ss windmill, plus I remember I have beaten a tryhard"s ass and 5 minutes later he pulled out a mod menu to reset my characters' levels
I still remember the PS3 modders and not to forget the lobbies on the PS4 that were overcrowded with tryhards. If I'm honest, it hasn't improved much in all these years. I don't actively play GTA online anymore, but as soon as I join a lobby, it's just a war...
I've never seen another online game with so many cheaters. It's currently harder to find a session without someone cheating than with someone cheating.
@@donaldsalkovick396 Stop being so boring, we all know console has a ton of people using god mode either, and no need to be a genius that i'm talking about the PC.
I will encounter at least 3 players using god mode in every single session with more than 20 people. Some will also enable cheats like aim-bot when they can't win a fight. A mod menu is essentially required to play GTA Online on PC. Hell, I've got one too. The first thing I always do when joining a new session is scanning the player list for anyone that has god mode, drives too fast and spectating players who get called out in chat.
another problem is if you join a lobby with hackers who have your private information, and then even if you play single player, you're still screwed because they still have your private data and do whatever they want with it. they can corrupt your rockstar account and mess with your connection, which you won't be able to play single player games because of rockstar's launcher requiring a account and internet connection to play them. its widely known the rockstar support is useless so you have no choice but to make a new account and maybe buy the games again if you got them from the launcher itself.
Today XBox - someone kept dropping trucks onto players and we tried to kick him and report them but they stayed in the lobby. He also hacked others vehicles and sold them
The worst thing about the game was that on the ps3 modders actually would disable other players accounts it happened to me before and I couldn’t do anything modders are absolute fucking scumbags
Mod menus are so stupid easy to get. Rock star doesnt care. Right now. Because gta 6 is their main thing right now. Gta 5 has died at this point. Its still booming but its not fun anymire with the modders
Something that you could have covered in your video is the fact that Rockstar purchased FiveM, which is the unofficial community servers for GTA 5 on PC. These are server based and way more regulated. I can see this potentially being utilised solely for PC once GTA 6 is ported.
I have barely ever stepped out of invite only lobby in long time, i played some in public lobby, but amount of lag and crashing made that a chore, plus being at mercy of cheaters and hackers. It's a pity, i hope R* fixes this in their next game, i have no intention of going through this again.
i tried the free mod menu and got the panther statue of my dreams and i also have the merry cliquemas. i only play in close friend session btw i waited for 1year+ for this pather to comeback but is worried about their sharkcards.
Nah, just for launch. GTA 6 will definitely release a PC version, just not at the same time as consoles. Rockstar usually releases PC later than console.
Someone changed me in a christmass tree, it was so huge that it filled up the whole airport and the whole city was in the shadow of my branches. No one got sunburned that day. Love it when you just have a lobby full of modders or no cheaters at all. Modding can be really really fun sometimes aslong you don't ruin other peoples gameplay. Using a animal machine gun and shooting elephants, giraffs, horses and hippo's at people is really funny if they also have godmode on
I have recently bought gta 5 and had some fun with my friend, but after few days of grinding some random cheater broke our progress, he gave us millions of money hundreds of collectables and over 100 levels. So we had to restart and play on invite only :(
GTA V made over 7 billion in just 2023 alone, not even considering the decade prior, and you're telling me they can't afford dedicated servers for GTA6? The sales for that game day-one will cover the cost of dedicated servers for 10 years. What a joke.
I play on xbox and pc, I did a public lobby once on PC that was enough for me.. Keep my vpn on and play in invite only sessions. I hated online before they added invite only, once they did I actually took interest in business', and other aspects I couldn't enjoy before because someone was always blowing up my product, or chasing me down.. I get that online is mostly pvp, but when you aren't bothering anyone what is the point in killing them over and over again when they aren't even fighting you back? I won't do public lobbies on pc anymore in fear of my own account getting banned because something a modder dropped on me.. Or messed with my stats and I had no control over it.. I play legit, don't buy shark cards, and enjoy the grind.. I don't want a modder to screw all that hard work up just cause they don't play the same way as I do. Sorry for the long comment lol, and thank you for the watch Jetro, enjoyed it, and very well edited.
The literal only way to make any progress in GTA Online without devoting 80% of your life to it is to mod. It is always morally justified to hack video games for free in-game currency. Especially if the game is over a decade old. *cough cough* Black Ops 3 *cough cough*
This is the result of Rockstar using a Peer 2 Peer instead of Dedicated Servers, and P2P is pretty much outdated and unacceptable in the modern era of gaming.
I said to myself, gta6 online will be filled with modders soon, I guess I have a year of fun until that happens Side note, I bought a ps5 to escape them on red dead and gta5, I’m not joking.
That wasn't the only source I had for it but I was a little mistaken. It would solve the IP finding and DDoS attacks by that amount for sure but maybe not cheating overall. That is my bad...
Even if you have a vpn, you are no safe, the best solutions are to either never play in any session other than invite only, or if you already have a console, yous house migrate.
I once met a player who hacked the game I think, he could open and close the doors on the backs of plans and trucks so we would get in chill. We'd do cargo missions.
A lot of the information in this video is bullshit. I'm one of the friendly modders, and being host of sessions gives you no added benefit other than the ability to protect yourself from crashes/kicks from other modders. Some menus which show IP and ISP info allow you to see that REGARDLESS of if you are host or not. Additionally, you cannot get someones HOME ADDRESS from p2p connections, even the IP is not linked to a home address, WORSE CASE, its linked to a tower which may be in your city, or may be a few cities away depending on where you live. If you are scared of someone having your IP, use a VPN, that is why they were created.
You ever crash bc someone wanted to try to mod destructive buildings to fucking recreate the skyscrapers falling scene from 2012? I sure have. It was the coolest, fucking scariest moment of my entire life....for about 3 seconds and then boom, black screened until I restarted.
The only thing that got patched was the ability to drop money on other players and hack peoples accounts. All the other fun stuff modders can do is still available
i just got a mod menu only reason is because starting at level 1 in 2024 is impossible, by the time you get to lvl 100 and unlock everything gta 6 will be out
Wanna know a simple fix to "anticheat for PC" Rockstar can do, and its a joke how easy it could be if they even cared? Have a Rockstar employee host GTA Online sessions (and if need be, have their colleagues join in the session) if there's a cheater that gets caught, the employee can simply switch the plug on them. Simple, right? They anyways have millions of dollars, why can't they dedicate that to hiring more- Oh. True. They care more about the money than our security. For the most part, I do blame Rockstar, not because they have no control over the never ending demand over mod menus, but because Rockstar keeps slacking until the very last moment something actually needs to be done. They keep slacking bad. They basically ALLOWED mod developers to gain an advantage over Rockstar, and Rockstar just sat back and kept sniffing the green they keep making off Shark Cards and GTA plus on a daily basis. The moment GTA Online gets boycotted and they simply can no longer make a single cent from GTA Online, regardless if its from PC, PS4, PS5, or Xbox One / Series X|S, that might motivate Rockstar into actually putting whatever millions of dollars they have left into good use of either a proper anti-cheat, or simply Rockstar hosted sessions. Until that day comes though, Rockstar will let themselves keep losing, because they care more about the money they're still making from GTA Online to this day and beyond.
There are a couple employees, who do indeed do that, but with how many modders there are, you really think they will allocate this many people into combatting the modder issue?
@@X_irtz It would be a start honestly, and either cancel p2p hosting, or have a proper system that can reach out to Rockstar on the spot when needed. Regardless of which, requires a budget Rockstar is not willing to spend on.
I had a mf tryna get me banned by forcefully injecting millions into my account but he got himself banned in the process 💀💀💀💀💀 funniest thing is that he added me on discord and vc to "help me" and when his stupid ass plan failed he blocked me everywhere lmaoooo
I want modders to devastate the online component of GTA VI to the point c**kstar will either abandon it or do significant changes, just to send a message.
Whatever happened to having skill in a video game? Imagine hacking to win and get stuff in the game that YOU DIDN'T EVEN EARN. And if anything "the grind" is the most fun part of the game because then you actually EARNED WHAT YOU GOT out of the game.
They should have someone go to Rockstar and be an official inspector for the safety of the online servers so that way it’ll encourage Rockstar and other game developers to have dedicated servers.
This video in a nutshell: PC was plagued from the start and PC is the way to go if you want mod simulator and basically don’t play on PC unless you want to be hacked
Thank god this never happened to me, I never faced a cheater in my life like when those cheats doing all that crazy stuff like locking people up and making robots I never experienced that plus if rockstar never release gta 6 on pc it will be because of the moders ik it’s not fair for innocent pc players but they gonna have to blame the non innocent ones and don’t the hackers care they are ruining a game for everyone? If I ever meet a hacker I hope he’s or she’s a good one like giving out money and so on
I think they're not going to port GTA VI on PCs at all; the cheat developers would easily figure out how to fake having GTA+ subscription, effectively cutting into R* revenue stream
I am actually worried how online will be in GTA 6. If everyone boycotts GTA Online for a while then that might bring some changes but let's be honest, that ain't gonna happen
Tell me about it. I only play this game on private lobbies on pc. Really wish they added an anti cheat. Maybe gta 6 will or maybe gta 6 won't even come out on pc lol.
Im gonna admit, I modded once when I was younger in gta online, but even I didn't get that low. I would Just give people cool cars, guns, and sometimes a little bit of money, like a million dollars. Im not saying it was right, but I would never try to destroy peoples lives over a video game.
if the PC version is red there are modders. I think the PC version would never have anti cheating. I'm a PC modder, I use mod menus. rockstar games never deletes the godmode.
Rockstar have completely lost their own game on pc. Since the update, EVERY day has been a hacker in the new X2 mode, ....that's every game, every hour ALL day long for WEEKS, never letting up, no 'ban waves', NOTHING from Rockstar. Rockstar let a small leak become gushing crater. The writing was on the wall when rockstar introduced HSW on consoles and all the rest of console exclusives leaving pc gamers scratching their heads, i mean, it's not just rockstars game that has been taken over, us players are suffering too, quite sad that a multi billion dollar game is now dictated by a few mindless morons.
The only solution is to switch to FiveM because Rockstar never did anything to stop the cheating nor it seems they can or even in interested in doing so...
Player: please help me a modder leaked my ip and city i live in.
Rockstar: did you try switching sessions?
Rockstar: have you tried turning your identity on and off agian?
Have you just tried a vpn 🤦
Rock$tar: "Have you brought a $hark Card?"
And... apart from ddosing you (which is easy enough to counter with a VPN), they can't really do much else. What else they gonna do, go find where you live? Don't think such cheaters can even take a few steps outside due to their obesity levels.

"if you cannot beat them, join them" - i could not believe my comment was actually in a video lol
i believe the people hacking are the ones that know how to program and probably worked for rockstar. But its just my conspiracy theory lol
I will admit I modded on GTA V PC but ONLY in SOLO SESSIONS. Pretty much modded enough money to buy cars and customize
them.
That’s what I wanna do, I just wanna customize cars and buy houses. I’m scared of downloading mods because of viruses and bs
I wanna do the same after playing this game legit all these years... 5 mil on a police interceptor is crazy, they are greedy and I never paid a single dollar and wont pay a single cent since I literally paid money to played it.
If you guys find mod menu share with me pls, @ me here
Gaming in general is facing a loser epidemic
Very true. Unsportsmanlike, poor minded individuals afraid to lose. They'll job teleport or switch sessions to avoid being killed after griefing lol. Ppl forgot it's a game and losing is apart of games. Imagine watching a football game and the other team walks off field because they're losing 😂😂
I know right, it’s one thing to cheat for money but to play games all day to cheat in PvP you have to be straight up ass at the game and delete it then. 😂
@@aryangandhi5836 I actually respect ppl who cheat for money over buying shark cards because the gaming industry has become a scam and no one seems to care. But cheating for PvP is scumbag behaviour.
@@BigBigTriggerBingo! I brought a modded acc strictly for cars. I don’t pvp anymore I used to be a sweat back in 2020. Now I live in lscm😂😂. All I care about is cars.
@@OPPU73NT I'm the same way now, I trade modded cars with friends etc. If it's not a custom playlist with my creator community I avoid PvP as they're most likely in godmode or gunna run lol.
People who cheat in any game are pathetic tbh especially pvp. I dont mind money or car glitches but competition wise its garbage.
It's just sad how rockstar doesn't care at all for their PC players 😢
Fuck rockstar their company needs to be out of business
I was around in the PS3 days. People were using mod menus, God mode, billion dollar bounty. I was there and saw it happen.
As bad as the PC modding issue is, it's never gonna get fixed, just gotta hope R* actually puts in effort with an anti cheat for GTA 6. At least you can't mod on console, on current gen anyway. I don't think PS4 JB can get online yet anyway.
Yeah, as of right now, console is by far the way to go
As of right now lmao. The game was created for consoles and ported to pc later. It was always the way to go 🤣
@Ducky69247 Only until PS4 stops being supported then jailbreaks will get online eventually, PS3 was exploited very early on, but I think current GTA Online will be shut down before jailbreaks even get online tho. Plus once GTA 6 comes out no one will be on PS4 anymore anyway aha
What’s crazy is I spoke to a modded and he told me rockstar patched all the money mods but nothing else 🤦♂️
@Jetro
You forgot to mention that Rockstar Games did attempt to fix modders joining friends only / private sessions and as of now haven’t had any problems in private sessions for a while now.
Just for anyone concerning, yes they can crash your game but i think they only do that by deleting some content that has to be with the "update" files inside GTA V main folder, because it happened to me, i simply ran a file verification and it downloaded like 3 gigs, of course its annoying but is a little fix until something can be done
Sorry, did I hear that right? Menus weren't a problem on 360/Ps3? As someone who got the game day 1, and played online when it first released (and was called a beta at the time) menus were definitely not rare. Sure, not as often as they are on pc in modern day. but they were definitely not uncommon by any means. I still remember being constantly blown up by trails of explosions just driving down the road, having all my weapons removed from my wheel, losing/gaining money, etc. Maybe for some it wasn't as common, but that was not the case for all of us.
Oh, let's not forget the countless times where loading into your Eclipse Tower garages (or any other 20 car, that was just the most common) had a 8 or 9 chance out of 10, to have a windmill spinning all throughout the garage, or a dozen wrapped bodies/corpses (the ones underwater, most may know them from the tunnel entrance for the Cayo Heist.) dropped all through the garage. Same with the big traffic cone shaped balloons you normally see in air races. They pop when hit (or at least they used to. I recall doing a couple air races in recent years, and they haven't popped upon impact.) I believe there were 1 or 2 other things put into the garages as well, but it's been so long I don't remember. Still remember being "locked" into those "cages" (the wheeled fence looking carts, upside down), having items placed on my head, being teleported, flying around in cars, etc. One of the funniest ones I experienced was watching a Dump fly around. Y'know, the giant yellow quarry dump truck. Bus is cool and all when it happens, but the dump was just too goofy not to crack me up. This was all on 360, keep that in mind. It wasn't just one lobby, this was a normal occurrence. I'm not sure where the idea of "anti-cheat" comes from, seeing as 360's and PS3's were constantly jailbroken or whatever else they were doing/using at that time.
Ope, just saw the part about not blaming then for giving themselves money (which I agree) but seeing the Independence Day suit reminded me of my favorite thing they used to do. The Sovereign. The motorcycle with the American flag livery/design on it. I remember being in a lobby where someone changed my bikes color for me to all black instead of the livery. Don't get me wrong, I love my flag and always have, but as someone who likes bikes, such as Harley's, seeing it in all black (and a few other colors but I stuck with black) I'll tell ya, it looked so nice. That is one thing I'd like to see them change. Just let us remove the livery and have open paint opens for the bike. It's not like it's the Liberator and exclusively pegasus, it's a buyable, storeable vehicle. Maybe I'll get lucky and come across someone who still has one of them, since unfortunately that account I had one on, was lost a long time ago.
I remember beating a tryhard on the PS3 then having my level's resetted because of that 💀
@@mrnk88 I mean, back then, "tryhards" weren't a thing, not by name, as there wasn't really anything to be one at. But yeah, there were more than enough sleazy people going around. But that's been and will continue to be the standard in basically any game, especially if there's a pvp/competitive aspect to it. And for whatever reason, people have such a hard time, concept, acceptance, etc of losing. They just can NOT handle it. Whether its throwing controllers or other stuff, or its screaming at the top of their lungs, or even going so far as to physically go out of their way to actually cause harm to others. I get the whole getting annoyed in certain situations, especially if you know for a fact that one thing should've happened and you got legitimately jipped by bullshit. Or even just getting ever so unlucky and being annoyed because maybe it keeps happening. (My kind of "luck" right there.) And I get the whole getting mentally ticked off, but man, the extents that some people go is absurd. The mentality of "someone beat me, so now I'm going to pull out cheats and such to remove their stuff because I'm too shit, and so this is my only way to "beat" them". Just sad. Like, if you wanna use that stuff against AI (because let's be real, fuck AI in video games 😂), whether it's in like a solo story mode, or in a coop fighting pvp, sure. But pulling that against other real people, real players, it just says so much about how genuinely bad you are.
I only had my weapons removed from me like 2 times if I recall, of course on 360. But in the years since, I've had so many sad ass "tryhards" or their friends because they couldn't themselves, boot me off. Or in some cases they tried. I will say, it's hilarious watching someone say "I'm gonna boot you" or "I've got your IP". Like, ok. Cool? Want a cookie? And they'll end up kicking their friend(s) or themselves. Or they'll tell me some set of numbers or a place that's of course absolutely nowhere near me. At BEST, I've had people tell me "hows *insert place name*?" And I have to look up where the hell they're naming, and that stuff is like 1½ or more hours away from me. (Apparently booting and IP grabbing does NOT work hand in hand for them, cause I never get anyone who can do/provide both against me. And it's always the ones who name a place, even if it is over an hour away, they never hit me off. I'm no tech guru, but I'm obviously missing how that can be so hard to do together 😂) But besides the occasional boot, which hasn't happened in a good while now that I think of it. Not that I can tell anyways. (Coincidentally, when it does happen, it's usually during a storm/bad weather, otherwise it doesn't. Might just be weird but legitimate timing, or who knows.)
Too many little kids who suck at games, and can't even fight unfairly without still sucking.
@@jakeb7525 That's true, about the tryhard I meant pvp people in the lobby back in the day, but that guy got salty and reseted my level. Similar thing happened to my friend who's character got the skills reseted later on
@@mrnk88 yeah, stuff is just sad. Well, was/is. Since hell, on PC, people still do that (and more). Like damn, anything for that tiniest bit of attention. Just disappointing.
As someone who used cheats and mod menus in GTA5 on a jailbroken PS3 when the game came out, I agree.
Is Rockstar fault. Rockstar and Take2 has lead the door open for hacker to steal information from their servers. Because this is not exclusive for GTA Online this also happen on GTA4 and RDR 2. You can see for example the leak of the GTA 6 trailer and information abouth the game that was stolen from the server pass year. That hacker was realese , so what kind of example is Rockstar doing about Network security for the Players?
They don't use servers remember, what's getting hacked is the info stored on a player's system, because it's used to host the games. but for everything else yea their security is bad and that's because they're told not to care about it, just keep making the TakeTwo CEO more and more money. He needs to be investigated.
Menus weren't a problem during PS3/X360 days?? Naaahhh LMAO
Blud forgot about the eclipse tower'ss windmill, plus I remember I have beaten a tryhard"s ass and 5 minutes later he pulled out a mod menu to reset my characters' levels
I still remember the PS3 modders and not to forget the lobbies on the PS4 that were overcrowded with tryhards. If I'm honest, it hasn't improved much in all these years. I don't actively play GTA online anymore, but as soon as I join a lobby, it's just a war...
1:34 Modders might be dangerous, but damn these “creations” are some hilarious stuff ngl
I feeling the cheaters interfering with people making money leads to more shark cars purchases
or more mods used...
Someone modded a big ass burger onto a Buzzard which made it invulnerable against any outside damage that shit was fun asf
I've never seen another online game with so many cheaters. It's currently harder to find a session without someone cheating than with someone cheating.
Change your headline. PC gta online
@@donaldsalkovick396 Stop being so boring, we all know console has a ton of people using god mode either, and no need to be a genius that i'm talking about the PC.
@@mandrakegtigod mode glitches not wiping accounts with mod menus
I will encounter at least 3 players using god mode in every single session with more than 20 people. Some will also enable cheats like aim-bot when they can't win a fight. A mod menu is essentially required to play GTA Online on PC. Hell, I've got one too. The first thing I always do when joining a new session is scanning the player list for anyone that has god mode, drives too fast and spectating players who get called out in chat.
What mod menu do you use i just want one for money tbh 😂
ya and the top menus will spoof very well the player is kosher, you gots to have one on pc.
another problem is if you join a lobby with hackers who have your private information, and then even if you play single player, you're still screwed because they still have your private data and do whatever they want with it. they can corrupt your rockstar account and mess with your connection, which you won't be able to play single player games because of rockstar's launcher requiring a account and internet connection to play them. its widely known the rockstar support is useless so you have no choice but to make a new account and maybe buy the games again if you got them from the launcher itself.
I really love your videos. Instead of giving clickbait and trivial information like other RUclipsrs, you talk about the real issues.
Some dude was teleporting around following me while I was doing heist setups last night. Idk how there’s this many cheaters on a ps5 but whatever
My sister got banned the other day cause a modded dropped money on her in a session. GTA Online PC is beyond broken
Today XBox - someone kept dropping trucks onto players and we tried to kick him and report them but they stayed in the lobby. He also hacked others vehicles and sold them
The only reason I have a mod menu on pc is to protect myself and others from the bad modders so I can try to kick the bad ones out or crash their game
The worst thing about the game was that on the ps3 modders actually would disable other players accounts it happened to me before and I couldn’t do anything modders are absolute fucking scumbags
Mod menus are so stupid easy to get. Rock star doesnt care. Right now. Because gta 6 is their main thing right now. Gta 5 has died at this point. Its still booming but its not fun anymire with the modders
I’m hoping the AI cheat patent filed by T2 interactive makes the issue less prevalent 🤘🏻
Something that you could have covered in your video is the fact that Rockstar purchased FiveM, which is the unofficial community servers for GTA 5 on PC. These are server based and way more regulated. I can see this potentially being utilised solely for PC once GTA 6 is ported.
I have barely ever stepped out of invite only lobby in long time, i played some in public lobby, but amount of lag and crashing made that a chore, plus being at mercy of cheaters and hackers.
It's a pity, i hope R* fixes this in their next game, i have no intention of going through this again.
how has rockstar not been sued yet? like i genuinely dont understand
I have a question Im hoping other console players may have an answer for.
How are griefers able to force you out of passive mode and get the kill?
There is a modder in every session
i tried the free mod menu and got the panther statue of my dreams and i also have the merry cliquemas. i only play in close friend session btw
i waited for 1year+ for this pather to comeback but is worried about their sharkcards.
And people still blindly keep playing their games and ofc buying gta 6 as if rockstar cares about them
Am i missing something? They already confirmed there won't be a pc version and that there are no plans for it for gta 6
Nah, just for launch. GTA 6 will definitely release a PC version, just not at the same time as consoles. Rockstar usually releases PC later than console.
Someone changed me in a christmass tree, it was so huge that it filled up the whole airport and the whole city was in the shadow of my branches. No one got sunburned that day. Love it when you just have a lobby full of modders or no cheaters at all. Modding can be really really fun sometimes aslong you don't ruin other peoples gameplay. Using a animal machine gun and shooting elephants, giraffs, horses and hippo's at people is really funny if they also have godmode on
This is why invite only exists
I have recently bought gta 5 and had some fun with my friend, but after few days of grinding some random cheater broke our progress, he gave us millions of money hundreds of collectables and over 100 levels. So we had to restart and play on invite only :(
Rockstar be like :
Shark cards? *YES*
Anti cheat? *F*CK NOOOOOOOO*
Better to play Five M or Grand Rp
GTA V made over 7 billion in just 2023 alone, not even considering the decade prior, and you're telling me they can't afford dedicated servers for GTA6? The sales for that game day-one will cover the cost of dedicated servers for 10 years. What a joke.
Capitalism? Ever hear about that? I decide to wait for pirated GTA6, vote by wallet.
I play on PC and I occasionally run into bad modders. I use a VPN and bad ones try tell me my location which is never my actual location.
Remember back in 2013 when modders would put the turbines at the apartment garage. its really messed up now
I play on xbox and pc, I did a public lobby once on PC that was enough for me.. Keep my vpn on and play in invite only sessions. I hated online before they added invite only, once they did I actually took interest in business', and other aspects I couldn't enjoy before because someone was always blowing up my product, or chasing me down.. I get that online is mostly pvp, but when you aren't bothering anyone what is the point in killing them over and over again when they aren't even fighting you back? I won't do public lobbies on pc anymore in fear of my own account getting banned because something a modder dropped on me.. Or messed with my stats and I had no control over it.. I play legit, don't buy shark cards, and enjoy the grind.. I don't want a modder to screw all that hard work up just cause they don't play the same way as I do. Sorry for the long comment lol, and thank you for the watch Jetro, enjoyed it, and very well edited.
The literal only way to make any progress in GTA Online without devoting 80% of your life to it is to mod. It is always morally justified to hack video games for free in-game currency. Especially if the game is over a decade old. *cough cough* Black Ops 3 *cough cough*
you buy gta online on pc to get doxxed, the game aspect of the game is trying not to get doxxed and hacked (impossible)
This is the result of Rockstar using a Peer 2 Peer instead of Dedicated Servers, and P2P is pretty much outdated and unacceptable in the modern era of gaming.
Every time I join a public session I get crashed by a modder with no reason
I said to myself, gta6 online will be filled with modders soon, I guess I have a year of fun until that happens
Side note, I bought a ps5 to escape them on red dead and gta5, I’m not joking.
6:16 you cant just blindly trust steam reviews man
That wasn't the only source I had for it but I was a little mistaken. It would solve the IP finding and DDoS attacks by that amount for sure but maybe not cheating overall. That is my bad...
The solution to these greifing cheaters is making sure youre the host of the session and netlimiting their asses
Even if you have a vpn, you are no safe, the best solutions are to either never play in any session other than invite only, or if you already have a console, yous house migrate.
0:24 wtf 🤣🤣
I once met a player who hacked the game I think, he could open and close the doors on the backs of plans and trucks so we would get in chill. We'd do cargo missions.
why people don't use the good old suspend activity from windows activity menu?
A lot of the information in this video is bullshit. I'm one of the friendly modders, and being host of sessions gives you no added benefit other than the ability to protect yourself from crashes/kicks from other modders. Some menus which show IP and ISP info allow you to see that REGARDLESS of if you are host or not. Additionally, you cannot get someones HOME ADDRESS from p2p connections, even the IP is not linked to a home address, WORSE CASE, its linked to a tower which may be in your city, or may be a few cities away depending on where you live. If you are scared of someone having your IP, use a VPN, that is why they were created.
You ever crash bc someone wanted to try to mod destructive buildings to fucking recreate the skyscrapers falling scene from 2012? I sure have. It was the coolest, fucking scariest moment of my entire life....for about 3 seconds and then boom, black screened until I restarted.
"ROCKSTAR™ Games is not responsible for modders, as we do not care, it's part of our lazy work policy."
The only thing that got patched was the ability to drop money on other players and hack peoples accounts. All the other fun stuff modders can do is still available
i just got a mod menu only reason is because starting at level 1 in 2024 is impossible, by the time you get to lvl 100 and unlock everything gta 6 will be out
Wanna know a simple fix to "anticheat for PC" Rockstar can do, and its a joke how easy it could be if they even cared?
Have a Rockstar employee host GTA Online sessions (and if need be, have their colleagues join in the session) if there's a cheater that gets caught, the employee can simply switch the plug on them. Simple, right? They anyways have millions of dollars, why can't they dedicate that to hiring more- Oh. True.
They care more about the money than our security.
For the most part, I do blame Rockstar, not because they have no control over the never ending demand over mod menus, but because Rockstar keeps slacking until the very last moment something actually needs to be done. They keep slacking bad. They basically ALLOWED mod developers to gain an advantage over Rockstar, and Rockstar just sat back and kept sniffing the green they keep making off Shark Cards and GTA plus on a daily basis.
The moment GTA Online gets boycotted and they simply can no longer make a single cent from GTA Online, regardless if its from PC, PS4, PS5, or Xbox One / Series X|S, that might motivate Rockstar into actually putting whatever millions of dollars they have left into good use of either a proper anti-cheat, or simply Rockstar hosted sessions.
Until that day comes though, Rockstar will let themselves keep losing, because they care more about the money they're still making from GTA Online to this day and beyond.
There are a couple employees, who do indeed do that, but with how many modders there are, you really think they will allocate this many people into combatting the modder issue?
@@X_irtz It would be a start honestly, and either cancel p2p hosting, or have a proper system that can reach out to Rockstar on the spot when needed.
Regardless of which, requires a budget Rockstar is not willing to spend on.
Rockstar wont do shit unless it effects them directly, when they start to lose money with no shark card sales then they react.
imagine still using peer to peer servers...
I had a mf tryna get me banned by forcefully injecting millions into my account but he got himself banned in the process 💀💀💀💀💀 funniest thing is that he added me on discord and vc to "help me" and when his stupid ass plan failed he blocked me everywhere lmaoooo
This is why I stopped playing the PC version YEARS ago. Rockstar should just shutdown the PC version of the game.
Yup or don’t release gta 6 on pc
I want modders to devastate the online component of GTA VI to the point c**kstar will either abandon it or do significant changes, just to send a message.
i know of a certian game that has a cheating problem that has gone unsolved for 5 years
Whatever happened to having skill in a video game? Imagine hacking to win and get stuff in the game that YOU DIDN'T EVEN EARN. And if anything "the grind" is the most fun part of the game because then you actually EARNED WHAT YOU GOT out of the game.
They make billions a year don't they? How can dedicated servers be "cost prohibitive"?
if the PC version is red there are modders. and if the pc version turns green. I'm a PC modder, I'm breaking Rockstar
They should have someone go to Rockstar and be an official inspector for the safety of the online servers so that way it’ll encourage Rockstar and other game developers to have dedicated servers.
as a team fortress2 player rockstar atleast doing something 🤣🤣
I play on pc exclusively i have very little trouble with moders...
Consoles have their issues with godmode from time to time. But it goes away fairly quickly.
This video in a nutshell: PC was plagued from the start and PC is the way to go if you want mod simulator and basically don’t play on PC unless you want to be hacked
It's sad GTAV on PC sucks this bad, I'm on PS5 in a free aim lobby and I'm having a blast!
Thank god this never happened to me, I never faced a cheater in my life like when those cheats doing all that crazy stuff like locking people up and making robots I never experienced that plus if rockstar never release gta 6 on pc it will be because of the moders ik it’s not fair for innocent pc players but they gonna have to blame the non innocent ones and don’t the hackers care they are ruining a game for everyone? If I ever meet a hacker I hope he’s or she’s a good one like giving out money and so on
I think they're not going to port GTA VI on PCs at all; the cheat developers would easily figure out how to fake having GTA+ subscription, effectively cutting into R* revenue stream
I am actually worried how online will be in GTA 6. If everyone boycotts GTA Online for a while then that might bring some changes but let's be honest, that ain't gonna happen
Tell me about it. I only play this game on private lobbies on pc. Really wish they added an anti cheat. Maybe gta 6 will or maybe gta 6 won't even come out on pc lol.
When i still played on pc with mods i went around as santa with an money gun
Idk if you remember me I am bushkabab from your old live streams
I don't get why GTA 5 is still so popular 🤦♂️
Im gonna admit, I modded once when I was younger in gta online, but even I didn't get that low. I would Just give people cool cars, guns, and sometimes a little bit of money, like a million dollars. Im not saying it was right, but I would never try to destroy peoples lives over a video game.
if the PC version is red there are modders. I think the PC version would never have anti cheating. I'm a PC modder, I use mod menus. rockstar games never deletes the godmode.
Rockstar have completely lost their own game on pc. Since the update, EVERY day has been a hacker in the new X2 mode, ....that's every game, every hour ALL day long for WEEKS, never letting up, no 'ban waves', NOTHING from Rockstar. Rockstar let a small leak become gushing crater. The writing was on the wall when rockstar introduced HSW on consoles and all the rest of console exclusives leaving pc gamers scratching their heads, i mean, it's not just rockstars game that has been taken over, us players are suffering too, quite sad that a multi billion dollar game is now dictated by a few mindless morons.
The only solution is to switch to FiveM because Rockstar never did anything to stop the cheating nor it seems they can or even in interested in doing so...
