1. Friend starts an Elimination Showdown and invites me to it
2. I join him and we play the Showdown (Elimination is quick with only 2 people, only 1 life)
3. We both quit back to Free Roam after it's done

After doing that, I'm able to join his Free Roam session without being prompted to switch to Free Aim. To be clear, it doesn't force me to free aim when I join the Showdown.

I never tried any of the other solutions in this thread, I'm going to next time.

It works! Thank's man!

That means the Lobby creator is forcing free aim.. This happens in GTA V sometimes.

Everyone else that she's playing with is using lock-on mode while in the same session, she's the only one that keeps getting the alert stating that it's a free-aim only session when it's not. And when she looks into her settings, it does say she's in Free-aim, while everyone else's settings says "normal".
She's tried changing controllers and relogging and starting sessions and joining different people with the same result.

Try logging out of social club all together reboot and log back in. If it still happens contact rockstar support and submit a ticket so they can look at the server logs.

Sorry for the late response. I don't really find a way to log out ingame from it.

You close the game... And manually launch the "Rockstar Games Launcher" with no games running and logout out of it. You may have to sign in when the launcher but you can logout after that. You should have a shortcut for it on your desktop for the RGL.

Your friend is playing in a free aim lobby, Have your friend join your lobby because I think they won't have to have aim assist they'll just not get free aim bonuses.

Wait, there are free aim lobbies ? I want to know how can we join only free aim lobbies..... guys with auto aim can have their fun on their lobbies. IMO auto aim is for newcomers who can't aim but some people can't play without it.

Ye, go into story mode, go into controller options (Even for KB+M) set both settings to free aim and you'll go into free aim lobbies. I used to play with a streamer who plays with controller/AA and when I'd join her lobbies those settings get flipped and you keep joining AA until you flip it back.

I wish I'd known that earlier.
