Flying cars?
So, i started playing gta online just now, and it seems every session i enter there is a bunch of flying cars and explosions like pure mayhem, i cant do a single mission without exploding due to a flying car punching my face, i have absolutely no idea whats going on, is this some kind of lame event or something ? how can i play in peace ? Already spent 1 hour or so trying to do my first mission, i cant, due to this....

R* are never going to get on top of this issue, game is 5 years old and things haven't changed so creating public solo sessions is the only way to protect yourselves

problems i have with fivem...
i don't see the servers that emulate regular online with all the businesses, missions for ceo/mc, nightclubs etc
.'you are not whitelisted'...so i can't connect.
i can't see ping of servers. so many can be laggy when it comes to shooting.
their 'support' in discord consists of a bunch of fanboys who don't see the importance of knowing network latency...in online multiplayer..requiring 5 minute load times in a lot of cases.
as well as random crashing that keeps me from bothering with most servers.
I was about to ask that, i have no idea about gta online but i figured if modded it would miss some key elements that are features of the vanilla game like businesses and stuff like that. Gonna pass on that.. i dont usually play at this time of day (its 2pm here in argentina) so im gonna try at night at my usual play hours to see if its playable.

Nono, all cars in the game, flying exploding and acting like rockets, total mayhem, it was what ppl call "a modder" i guess its just a cheater ?, it was like that for like almost 2 hours and then i tried again recently and somehow the tutorial quest is bugged now, and lamar stopped giving me quests after i got the drugs. Seriously i cant believe this game was out for this long and is still top on sales and cant behave properly for at least 5 minutes.

when you encounter a cheater or modder just leave the game. not worth letting them bug everything up. oh and a game restart is the only way to get rid of the stuff they do.

Finally someone who experienced that too. Restarting ur game fixes it. Changing server or going story mode keeps that thing happening. Im begginer and when that happened, that was scary af.

No, it's called a Deluxo.

Rockstar promotes grieving.

Its not the Deluxo, every single vehicle was flying and exploding, busses, trucks, everything.

Definitely the work of a cheater. Happened to me dozens of times, that's why we all recommend players to avoid populated public lobbies.

I still dont understand how to even pick another lobby, the game just puts you into whatever it wants, and it takes like 5 mins each login.

Normal public lobby:

I'm so sick of the cheating scum. A bounch of looooosers.

You can bypass the scum by using firewall blocking. Guardian is a small firewall app. Super easy SOLO. Easy with friends and auto-whitelist. Very good with proper whitelist.

What I do is just change session until I find one that's low pop. Logged on to play yesterday and landed in a session where I got blown up in seconds after spawning. Waited for re spawn and it happened again, same player. For interest sake I kept re spawning to see what happens, and every time, even when my spawns started to get more remote, this guy blew me up within seconds. Just makes no sense, but I found a quiet session eventually.

The game doesn't use a server-client structure.
It uses a peer-to-peer network, which is also the reason for the long connection times, as it needs to deal with your and 29 other players' internet connection (NAT type).

Using this "public solo session" trick times out your connection, leaving you alone in your own session.
(Which is the fallback option, instead of kicking you out or forcing a new reconnect.)

Try it again!
Make sure you suspend GTAV.exe long enough. I usually use 10 seconds.
(You should disable 'pause on focus loss' in the game's options, otherwise you might get disconnected when Alt-Tabbing.)

Also, make sure you actually suspend the correct process.
Sometimes the list refreshes, pushing GTAV.exe down the moment you want to right-click it.


This is sadly the only feasible method to get away from cheater scum, as pretty much every (full) session has at least one more or less annoying cheater.
Constantly reconnecting takes way too long.

Most_Wanted just explained it, and when that didn't work, he gave you a damn video link. It's in the 6th message here. Don't ask for help then ignore what works. It's super easy.

here it is, AGAIN

press ctrl alt del simultaneously.
open task manager.
performance tab> resource monitor > network tab
right click gta5.exe
click suspend process...
wait for a few seconds
right click gta5.exe
click resume process
click yes to resume process

boom. all the people leave your session.
how is this so difficult?

It basically says to rockstar 'my connection sucks', so they don't have other people connected to you while it does. So you get your own session till it improves. People will eventually trickle back in though, and just give this 5 second trick another go when things seem like they're getting risky again.

Like I said before, it doesn't have to be completely empty to be playable. If you don't bother them they might not bother you and things will be fine for couple of hours like i had last night.

I agree that this shouldn't have to be done in the first place, but it does enable you to escape the mayhem crowds for a little while to get some missions done.
