why are there so many hackers with invincibility and cheats in online mode

I believe the peer-to-peer connections this game uses makes it effortless for people to cheat. :/

Playing RDO on PC is awful; the experience is much better on a newer PlayStation where you don't have to worry about cheaters.

meh id rather they fix it

Don’t hold your breath. :(

Cheaters have been infesting the PC version of GTA Online for almost a decade now, and Rockstar has never been able to successfully minimize the cheating in that game.

I’m skeptical they’ll ever fix the cheating problem in the PC version of Red Dead Online. :(

Maybe they’ll address the problem for the online mode in GTA 6, but I wouldn’t count on it.

it doesnt matter they can fix it easily and they shouldent allow hackers and cheaters at all

sry dude but you just cant easily get rid of cheating in a P2P online game ... theres no servers per say they have no real tangible way of managing what happens in P2P other thn "after the fact" since hackers literally have access to your game cache files, thats what a peer to peer network is, but if you want you can just block anyone from connecting with your current sessions https://youtu.be/OFd2af8wINE

sry dude but no.

i mean yeah technically you're right they could just spend a couple hundreds millions and bless us all with dedicated servers and hope it doesnt get attacked too often and even then theres still be menu even if it would be less easy for them ... you do realise no matter how much money they throw it'll never completly fix the issue you should view it as a living organism no matter how carefull you are theres always gonna be a bacteria, virus, prion or else able to find a way to mess it all up unless your living in your selfsubstained bubble ... hence the block evryone but your friend to join your sessions

I don’t think anyone expects Rockstar to 100% eradicate cheating. That’s an unrealistic ask.

However, as a live service game with micro-transactions, it’s reasonable to expect Rockstar to minimize the cheating as much as possible.

Right now cheaters run rampant, there doesn’t appear to be any effective safe-guards to stop cheating players from ruining the game for everyone else.

Both Red Dead Online and GTA Online on PC are absolutely saturated with cheaters; way more than any other PC online worlds released by other AAA companies. :(

With the current peer-to-peer setup in both games I’m skeptical Rockstar will ever fix this problem in RDO or GTA Online, but I PRAY they address this issue in the next GTA Project. :(

i didnt say anything about 100% im not asking for anything UNREALISTIC at all. im pointing out the problem and it should be solved and there is absolutely NO REASON it shouldnt be. especially with the fact i repeat that we are talking about a company that BREAKS RECORDS FOR THE HIGHEST BUDGET FOR GAME DEVELOPEMENT EVERY RELEASE. have some imagination OR i might as well assume you are one of these griefer hackers.

I'm not sure what kind of reply you're looking for?

Of course all the players on the Steam forums would love to see better anti-cheat measures, but there's not much we can do.

I suppose if you're looking for an answer as to why doesn't Rockstar do more to minimize cheating, well, only Rockstar knows the answer to that. However; I suspect it's because they really aren't all that concerned with their PC player base.

Rockstar is primarily a console company, not a PC-gaming company. PC players probably make a comparatively small percentage of their audience. The sad fact-of-the-matter is PC players probably don't generate enough revenue for Rockstar for them to care all that much about us.

And so long as Rockstar continues to ignore the cheating problem on PC, that PC audience has no chance of ever growing any bigger. :(

Honestly, like I said in my first post, the best version of RDO is on the PlayStation where you don't have to worry about cheaters. I wish I could say RDO is amazing on the PC, but I'd be lying. RDO is awful on the PC; all the cheating completely ruins the experience.

[Pobway]

it doesnt matter. its the same whether its a PC or console based game. not supporting your game in the long run is the same on any platform. theres no reason for it. your wrong.

[Pobway]

let me reiterate the BUDGET AMOUNTS ON THESE GAMES. its higher than any on any console or platform. so .. no. just no.

[Silhouette]

Yeah, but apparently they aren't spending those high budgets supporting the PC versions of their online games. XD

I wish they were, but sadly they aren't.

Hopefully the PC version of GTA6 isn't the cheater-infested nightmare both GTA Online and RDO are.

[Pobway]

no youre wrong.
