Rockstar Games’ servers have been under heavy fire from massive DDoS attacks in recent days, causing widespread login and connectivity issues for players of GTA Online. These attacks come in the wake of Rockstar’s recent implementation of BattlEye, a new anti-cheat system designed to crack down on in-game cheating, sparking backlash from a segment of the player base. Protesters, unhappy with the new system, have resorted to using distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks to disrupt the servers, escalating tensions between the gaming giant and its community.

    At least you can turn it off in singleplayer and still use your mods there. That’s a pretty important consideration imho.

    How do those community servers for RP work? Do they require mods? Do they still work?

      Pretty sure Rockstar allows community servers to disable the anti-cheat as well, just like single player.

      The GTA RP community at this point is a considerable part of why people are still playing GTA.
