GTAO without some sort of protection was a total cesspool imo. And I’m not saying it’s magically perfect now.
I wish there were better options.
Wasnt so bad for me. Got lots of free money. The odd lobby would be fucked. But you could just switch to a new instance, or a private one if you were trying to do something. Not sure what its like now.
Yeah P2P was a bad call. And Im sure they will make it again.
Yeah, P2P was the biggest issue.
It’s the most profitable game in the world. Ever. Just the online part. They should be able to afford dedicated servers.
I tried it on Linux the other day. Every time I spawned into the world I was immediately killed (by the same account) after glitching weirdly. I assume it's an exploit.
When I spawned myself into an "Invite Only" instance, since I was just wanting to play alone anyway, I was able to spawn but was then kicked out by Battleye after about 45 seconds.
What a cluster.
Linux-compatible anticheat does exist. If Rockstar wants to let Steam Deck players join GTAO, I don't see what's stopping them.
