Is anti cheat really anti cheat or just more difficult to cheat?

Who cares? Rockstar (or any other company) never provided any data on how prevalent the cheating was. They will make experience worse for 99% in order to get back at 1%.

BattleEye is about as effective as a stinky poopoo. All you need to know is that its used in Siege and PUBG which are rampant with cheaters lmao.

Rockstar really does hate PC gamers.
For real, it's insane how they treat PC gamers as 3rd class citizen.
I'd rather have them completely drop releasing their games on PC compared to how they're "supporting" the platform...

They should move on from GTA 5 and focus more on GTA 6 because I do not want any delays. If people want to cheat let them the game have made it money already. 11 years of GTA 5 is plenty enough support from Rockstar let the cheaters have there fun. Because they are going to cheat regardless anyway even after GTA 6 release on the PS5 Pro.

I'm curious what the transition from 5 to 6 is going to look like in GTA Online. Rockstar risks alienating GTA Online players if they're forced to start from zero in a new city. People may just choose to stop playing if they end up nerfed. They also risk people just wanting to stay with the current GTA Online. Looking forward to seeing what the plans are.

I'm fine with this. PC GTA Online was a cesspool of modder scum, it was just no fun to play in a lobby where dudes are caging you, teleporting, setting you on fire, exploding, etc etc etc. This literally happened so often that I just got sick of it. I play GTA-O on PS5 now as it is less likely you will encounter this kind of shit, if ever.

Some people really love just being high level in their favorite MMO. If starting from nothing is another grind they may decide it isn't worth it.

I’m guessing the transition is going to be huge now that Rockstar are now working with next gen systems hardware. No excuses now right? Alienating the GTA 5 online players well not to sound mean but they are going have to accept reality, and stop playing GTA 5 online or move on and get GTA 6.
GTA 5 online will definitely still be up after the release of GTA 6 because of the investment of the money from the buyers/players and content dlcs that was created by the developers. Rockstar knows that GTA 5 online is still the hottest and still being played amongst different platforms that is being played on.
But GTA 6 is only going to be played on next gen systems PS5, PS5 Pro, and Xbox Series S/X. So any of the GTA fans who are still playing GTA 5 online on the last gen systems then upgrade to a PS5 or a Xbox Series S/X.
If you are already gaming on those systems then transitioning to GTA 6 will be easy because of huge leap of graphics, gameplay for single/online that it will have. A new beginning for a new series in the GTA world.
But keep in mind that nothing last forever at some point Rockstar will make that decision to shut down the online servers to GTA5 to bring more sales and new players to the GTA 6. If that happens due to cheaters, player count are dropping, or sales are down just know that the focus will be more on GTA 6.

Would have loved anticheat back when I used to play GTAO on PC. But it was possible to force yourself into solo lobbies so you can grind for a few hours before it filled up again with griefers and cheaters. Wonder if that's still a thing...

Started a new character, done the tutorial, went through a couple of lobbies with no modders/cheaters at all and done a lot races. The last time I tried online I couldn't even find a lobby without at least one cheater or modder and was getting insta spawn killed. This time smooth sailing. Might actually put some time into it now.

Microsoft paves the way for Linux gaming success with plan that would kill kernel-level anti-cheat

cant happen soon enough, games do not need kl access
Microsoft paves the way for Linux gaming success with plan that would kill kernel-level anti-cheat
Microsoft has officially announced its intent to move security measures out of the kernel, following the Crowdstrike disaster a few short months ago. The removal of kernel access for security solutions would likely revolutionise running Windows games on the Steam Deck and other Linux systems.

Should be able to access almost everything in a solo/private server now apart from PvP stuff, no need to cheese it. Been this way for a few years now. Driving a slow ass garbage truck in an open lobby was infuriating, now you just fight some AI bikers, nice and chill
Edit: friends only lobbies too
