HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 фев 2025
- If you're on PC, the next time you go to open up the GTA Launcher you will likely see a message asking you to install Battleye. In this video, I explain what it is, what it's used for and whether you need it to play GTA V Story Mode and GTA Online.

Lets be real, rockstar isn't adding it to stop modders. They're clearly adding it to test it for GTA 6 online. They stopped caring about GTA 5 online a long time ago
Or GTA6 is seriously delayed…
Do you mean 5 online and 6 online will be merged and Liberty City will be updated in the future?
@@RLOWG no, rockstar is probably testing stuff they'll add to GTA 6 online in GTA 5 online. They're most likely gonna be separate
no they added it to test their cash flow on shark cards, noone in rockstar cars about the griefers, only about money
I prefer the cheaters than a program that demands authorization to read my files
That's the reason i haven’t updated it. Scary af.
Yep! Will not give up my privacy to play this game. Creepy and unnecessary.
Same. I always play in private sessions anyway 😅
@Specterrrr
Sounds like ur 12 and the worst someone could have access to on your PC is your GTA 5 modmenu
Would be nice if they only made it a requirement for public lobbies but not for solo sessions
that kinda defeats the purpose, players could still cheat themselves money, weapons, etc. to keep and then use in a public lobby
@@carambagel true, but it can be easily monitored so that if that if the person did use cheats in a solo session they cannot enter a public lobby ever
@@theblackswan109 what you're saying makes no sense, how can it monitor anything if it wasn't a requirement?
@@suamaenovr8554 battleeye uses a rootkit that can access everything on your PC, it literally just has to check if the person used a mod menu recently. and even if its not a requirement the BE is automatically installed when you dl GTA so its there already
Modders ruin the lobby, i hope this would bring the friendly players back to public sessions
I saw they already working on bypass
@@maritoguionyo you don't say
@@asiamies9153 xd
@@maritoguionyo of cause. Battleeye is definitely a great anticheat and only bypassable by Kernal level cheats (high risk of system breaks / crashes) or via DMA cheating, which is complicated and expensive (most cheaters won't be able to do it).
nope. Instead the griefers are out in force again just killing me again and again.
instead of writing a normal anti-cheat on the release of the game, 9 years later they add the worst anti-cheat in history
@@MARK25802 Battleeye is definitely better than Vanguard, at least when it comes to running in your kernal. Also, it's definitely better than the EA Anticheat, since they are Kernal level and don't even have an bug bounty program, so any vulnerabilities found will most likely be unreported and potentially sold to third parties.
If I accept this antivirus program, there will be no changes on the computer, right?
@@tombstone2003Can't say for certain. Whilst it shouldn't cause any problems normally, it could make it easier for attackers to gain kernal level access on your PC in case of a security vulnerability. Also, kernel level anticheats can cause crashes or blue screen of death, see the Crowdstrike global outage or the genshin impact anticheat randsomwere exploit. If you install it, try and monitor your system for instability / crashes. If they occur, I highly recommend uninstalling Battleeye. But it's your decision afterall.
@@tombstone2003yes.
phew - thanks bro, had no idea what it was. let's see if it actually works or just messes up my pc...
What happened
@@tombstone2003 his PC got destroyed
@@tombstone2003It blasted and now his whole city is in shreds
Idk what battleye is i just play gta online using invite only. Thanks for clarifying why rockstar added this
Glad I watched this video and found out beforehand, that it's not necessary to install Battle eye for Story mode
Yeah, I understand I'm probably being too paranoid, but I don't want this shit on my computer. If Rockstar decides they want to do a hardware ban, what's to stop others from doing the same thing? I've already seen what modders are capable of as they can screw with my GTA account whenever they feel like. I trust Rockstar about as much as I trust a used car dealer. Probably less.
What is scarier is how they can access ALL of your files
@@Adamcarmageddon Dam Bro, you mean they gonna see all my porno..?..lol
Oh great, lets add another program that constantly sends/sells personal data and files to unknown places. This was not it R*.
BuddY DAMN NEAR EVERY GAME HAS IT what your telling me is your hiding something on your PC you dont want cops to find
@@Specterrrr Didnt know companies sell their data to the government. Last I checked it was sold internationally.
And yes, I do have something, my privacy. Every bit of information related to me can be found. Not to mention information related to family members etc. Before commenting use your fucking brains.
@@Specterrrr damn you arent so bright, it has to do with PRIVACY
Finally, at least they are trying to do something about it now.
Cheers m8 👍
To be real, I don't think the main reason why rockstar added battleeye was to stop modders from ruining the game for other players. It definitely has more to do with the fact that mod menus allow players to get unlimited money without grinding for it, pretty much reducing the sales of shard cards and the value of in-game money. Since in-app purchases count for a substantial amount of revenue for Take2 Interactive (Rockstar's parent company), such a modding crackdown can increase profits and maximize shareholder investment. Hopefully, GTA 6 will have a fair balance between grinding and buying shark cards, but I'm uncertain about that, since more grinding most of the time equals more shark-card sales which equal higher revenue.
but why now? couldn't they had done it sooner? more time more profit? it has to with gta 6 security testing
@@thymos6575Rockstar does not need to only have a single reason. The method I described to increase sales will be most effective when launched from the start with GTA 6. So yeah, this is a try run. But the fact remains that Rockstar has a financial insentive to make shark cards the only way of gaining money outside of grinding.
Give it a few days. Battle eye is garbage they have beat it already on other games.
that shit just banned me and i dont even use fuckn cheats
Thank you very much sir.
Thank you for this video, like. :)
we are screwed, just opened it now
THANKS
todo el día buscando una solución al problema y aquí a estado la solución a mi problema muchas gracias mi pana
This isn’t about the server nuke guys, it’s the ones who want to avoid shark cards!
I have gta on steam but I also have rockstar launcher, I enable the battleye but I still can't play online, why and how I can fix this?
This isn't working on my steamdeck. Does it work on a steamdeck
Not until rockstar fix it from what I’ve heard
I am scared of getting falsely banned after hearing about the recent banwave. I mean can't modders run commands/cheats on the behalf of your computer?
My battle eye was off and i thought my pc broke when i tried online when launching 😂
Thanks for this, I didn't know you could turn it off from the R* launcher settings. Now just have to wait for the ScriptHook update to enjoy single player modding . Seems R* pushes out an update 10 times an hour smh.
Idk why with gta 5 epic games with battleye as request code rockstar activation but I'm delete it battleye and run gta 5 no request activation code and can play
But will it stop people from modding - I mean NO! The menus will be adjusted soon and will then work again.
Yeah let’s see how long it lasts. It’s like going back in time at the mo 😂
Anyway believe it or not 99% mods don't work kiddions went red in the server announcing their menu don't work anymore about 15 mins ago.... And the battle eye worked..
@@aadhilsha2486 Hackers wouldn't be hackers if they couldn't overcome this.
@@aadhilsha2486 99 % of mods don't work after normal updates too because the memory addresses change, that's normal. But we'll see how quickly this will be defeated
@@asiamies9153 I was just in online mode and what do I encounter in the first session? --- modders. Next session - Modders
The anti-cheat software is not worth the name. 🤣😉
battleye has already been defeated in the past, it's a cat and mouse game but anything that is installed on a windows pc can be defeated generally by another shim process itself, depends on how well they have woven that into the game and networking stack though. but I would imagine for online play it will help initially and overall reduce the sheer number of modders (cheaters) with menus
I tried to install it but it says error... what should i do?
im a modder and i couldn't be happier about it i was so annoyed to use mod to stop getting crashed by a russian dude. gg's i can play like i did in the past :D
Before introducing Battle Eye, don't people with nuclear weapons eat stop? There are still 8,000 levels online
Offline gameplay with mods works fine with it turned off, thanks man
It doesn’t on epic games launcher
cant even launch the game. battle eye blocks dinput.dll
@@NickEhmazing30Real it doesnt appear on the settings?
@@diecastpeter are you on epic also?
@@diecastpeter me too cant even launch the game!
Hello Follow, has the BattleEye anti-cheat already been implemented or coming soon in few days?
I'm away from my PC so can't test it.
A response from your end would be much appreciated.😃
On September 17, 2024, BattlEye was introduced to GTA5. This means that all mods cannot even be started. There may be a solution, but it is unknown at this time.
It's already out - will ask you to install it next time you load up the Launcher
guys i join gta online with the battleye active but it says to me that is not active how i fix
Have you been into Settings on Rockstar Launcher?
@ yes it doesnt work
na matter what i do, I cant get into gta online,what should I do?I always get this alert
welp for some reason i still can play gta online with menyoo mod menu even after i disable battleye on rockstar apps. Why is that???. Its say something about script hook v
Can we still do mods (like play gta fivem) while we have this installed???
If it’s not using GTA Online you can use mods. Have to disable Battleye in Settings
@ oh okay thank you
why mine is getting an error about script hook v :( i have the updated one. I don't see other complaining bout this one. Any suggestion? Thanks
Hmm, I got a bunch of errors on script hook (just playing offline). Try Disable Battleye on Launcher? Prob have to wait for script hook guy to release an update as Rockstar updates often break it for me for a few days…
your scripthook is prob outdated
I’m just gonna wait till someone uploads the PC version online. So I can play that instead.
I can’t access the one I bough in steam because I can’t recall an email for social club, and the Launcher doesn’t recognize my new PC. It’s been a decade since I made that SC account and it won’t even let me play offline. What a load of BS.
I accidentaly deleted BattlEye how do I install it back?
I think you have to reinstall the Launcher
Will this affect the FiveM family?
I´ve awlays played 100% vanilla. Can't even launch the game regardless if is disabled or not. If turned on, battleye says it has failed to launch. If off, the game just shows an error and closes up imidiatly.
Yes, already checked integraty of the files and even reinstalled it. I guess I'm forever blocked from playing gta 5's story mode and online
Lol, so Lazy R* think it's ok to tell players to install things into your kernel.
Goodbye Lazy R*.
Gonna uninstall
@@christohsaka I also hate kernal level anticheats, but at least Battleeye supports Linux (disabled by Rockstar) and only runs when the game run (unlike Vanguard)
@@Pils10 doesn't rly matter to me.
Any software that wants to be installed in the kernel is 'NO'.
@@christohsaka I get it. I don't like kernel level anticheats either. They are just way to intrusive, and let's be real, if developers really want to stop cheating, they could do it without them. (Just more work)
@@christohsaka Then don't play the game, simple. stop complaining
@@gpfhantom1890 an fanboy get's hurt.
How much did they pay you to make a kernel level driver sound acceptable?
dk how I feel about it having my IP address im fine with it monitoring game files and thats it. I don't play gta online so if it has my IP even if I don't play online I might not play GTA anymore
everything has your ip anyways it makes zero difference
@@suamaenovr8554 I mean what could an Anti Cheat need to have access to my IP anyway? sure maybe IP Banning but what's stopping me from switching IPs
They can access ALL of your files
@@suamaenovr8554 this anti cheat is literally MALWARE in disguise, it can read, download, share and delete files on your computer without admin permission, plus hackers can get to your PC's Bios thru Battleye, it's a fucking virus I ain't installing that shit, at least EAC (Easy Anti Cheat) only reads game files and nothing outside that, Battleye scans your whole computer.
Absolutely ridiculous! Basically an open door to steal people's information. This is a bad idea.
but bro i deleted it, im fucked rn and im finding way how to get it back bro
Is this shit actually safe to install? My ESET anti-virus says its a virus and wont let me install this. Also after reading comments im way more scared that this thing can have acces to all of my files. Is it actually safe to install and play with?
bro battleye ruined my gta5, i cant use mods in story mode, and for some reason my launcher randomly stopped working so i can't disable battleye, better yet, it has bypasses so it doesn't really do anything to stop real modders that use mods on online, but atleast launch gta in single player, ALSO BATTLEYE DEMANDS ACCESS TO MY FILES, SO MY PC IS NOT SURVIVING, wow rockstar amazing, another dogshit service selling info to the dark web, maybe lets keep gta modding or gta in general down for a little, im not gonna play until rockstar uses their brain power.
bro it isn't selling your data, it literally just reads the gtav directory
It won’t launch the game when it’s on
Gta online says that i cant play bc i dont have battleeye updated, how can i update it?
I've enabled Battley but it does nothing
Is heist editor working in battle eye update or getting banned?
I feel stupid.i went and loaded up gta story mode I realized after installing battleye my mods wasn't working.i went into the gta 5 directory and deleted the files now my game won't load at all
You could have just disabled it from working on sp
@asiamies9153 yeah I see that now
I thought it was a hack. Thanks👍
i cant play online even if i have battleye activated
Can i still use cheat engine for money glitch?
Downgrade your game, or pirate it
@@madhunter6420 Than you can't play online. Same goes for pirating. Just disable Battleeye in launcher settings
@@Pils10I have both original & pirated on my PC.
Does it going to affect in anyway?
P.S. The only reason i kept the pirated is because i downloaded it before buying orginal.
And have some progress saved on it. But both are in different disk. And i don't play the pirated anymore. Unless i have no internet connection, so i can play offline on pirated one with old progress saved on it.
Which i don't want to lose.
@@GlimpseofLight24 Battleeye just looks at hooked up processes to the purchased (and anticheat added) game. Battleeye does not scan your file system, so you shouldn't get any problems having a second pirated copy on your PC. Also, Battleeye is just an Anti-Cheat, not an Anti-Piracy or DRM software.
@@Pils10 But Battleye is kernel root kit. Which basically a S p y w a r e.
Everyone is talking about it,that it gets control over the whole PC.
With lot of security risks,vulnerabilities etc..
@@GlimpseofLight24 Wrong. Kernel level programs have access to your entire PC, but that does not conclude they are spyware. Just because I have a car that can go 200mph or 300kmh does not mean I (or the cars owner) has to drive at that speed. Same goes for Kernal level anticheats. They have access to your complete PC, but since they are most often from reputable companies (like EasyAnticheat or Battleeye), they are most likely only using it as intended. As for smaller and lesser known anticheats (such as EA Anticheat or Vanguard, I find it a harder to trust these companies with kernal level access. As for vulnerabilities, yes. If a program can exploit a kernal level driver, they have full access and can use it to steal / exfiltrate data, bypassing anti virus software and encrypt your entire file system to demand a randsome.
Does this impact the cheat codes we use in storymode?
@@ayushidivgaiya9053 Not if Battleeye is disabled in the launcher
No, the Cheat Codes are a part of the game. You can still freely mod GTA V in Single Player
@@gpfhantom1890 Yeah, the codes are independent from Battleeye. Battleeye just prohibits game modifications
@@gpfhantom1890 thanks
Iam on steam deck I can't play GTA online.

@@Seehara I hope valve fix this

Failed to install BattlEye Service (4, 50000570). Wtf is this
Im sorry? if that program gets into the wrong hands all of GTA players will be absolutely effed, wouldnt they? its got ALL the access! WTF. i was a modder (not a toxic one btw...) and i think its crap even though now i want to play without mods
I do not have a desire to play GTA V Online mode. I just want to play the game I paid for in story mode and not have to install more software on my computer. I also have several other Rockstar games that I have bought more than once for different platforms. If Rockstar can't make it where people that just want to play story mode, don't have to install this BS software. Then I can't spend any more of my money on their games. I was looking forward to GTA 6......🤷♂
It makes the game lag -_-

@@SIANTRO766 Battle eye is an active detection tool, not an passive analysis tool. Either you will get banned by Rockstar or not. Battle eye just makes sure no cheat is ran / is hooking into the game.
@@Pils10 but bro people are getting banned for using mods a month ago, i used to use kiddions for protection and now im scared that i will get banned too lol
@@thymos6575Of cause, Rockstar games will continue to manually monitor and ban specific players as they see fit. These bans are not caused by Battleeye. I even got false banned a few years back just for joining the wrong lobby (I wasn't even using a mod menu). My second account, in which I modded myself some money, is still completely unbanned. In conclusion: Battleeye only bans cheating that happen when the tool runs, not before.
Omg bro thanks,I'am modder and I couldn't open the game,THANKS
do u guys think this program could ban u for using cayo perico glitches ?
it will ban u if u use a third party program like mod menus and stuff, not for glitches since they are a fault in the game itself
