Nine years after its initial release, Rockstar has added the third-party anti-cheat software BattlEye to the PC version of GTA V, and it's been a 🌱long time coming. The addition of a PC anti-cheat was added as part of a to celebrate the game's eleven-year anniversary and remind us that the passage of time is inevitable.
BattlEye is a pretty common anti-cheat software found in other multiplayer games like Destiny 2 and Fortnite. The software can ban users on a hardware level if the𓆏y are caught using mods or cheats extensively, meaning if you get caught cheating in GTA Online, your computer will no lonꩵger be able to play the game.
If you don't play GTA Online, Rockstar has added the option to disable BattlEye꧋ for Story Mode, making it a bit easier for folks to ignore dealing with a new p🔥rogram running on their computer.
However, players are reporting a new issue where GTA Online is no longer running on their Steam Deck. While many games with the BattlEye anti-cheat are playable𒁃 on Steam Deck thanks to 💖the Proton Compatibility tool, GTA Online's newest update doesn't allow that. So Steam Deck players are out of luck unless Rockstar issues a patch to enable it.

GTA Online has been riddled with cheaters since the game's early years, creating new and inventive ways to make everyone miserable. Back in 2022, cheaters were using an 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:exploit to spam invite rando🦂💦m players causing their games to slow down and block out the Sparrow helicopter's ability to spawn. While another ꦦexploit forced players to spectate other people in their session, taking control away from the player.
We're hopeful 🎶that this mitigates the majority of exploits tha🐭t have plagued GTA Online's public lobbies for years, but will keep an eye on how this all pans out.
