game keeps forcing me to spectator mode in online lobbies

[Bruun]

Whenever i'm playing in an online lobby with other players. doesn't matter which lobby i go to, it keeps randomly putting me into spectator mode, then puts me in another session without my friends.

This has only been happening since today.

(Edit 1) My friend has the exact same problem as i do
(Edit 2) it seems to happen in solo sessions too, so i doubt it's a problem caused by modders.


Is there any way to fix this or prevent this from happening?

Seriously if one modder is managing to mass invite everyone on social club, and tamper with people's games like this, then that is a potentially extremely dangerous exploit.

This is ridiculous.

they can see your Ip, location, and much more from their mod menu anyways.

It's the fact they're doing it to the entire online service, not just the lobby. Every single online social club player is being targeted. That's the danger. If this is a modder, they managed to hijack the entire online service. That's dangerous.

I already had a friend have his IP put into a network stress test site and essentially flood his modem to where it was off a good portion of the evening. He ended up having to get a new modem but it doesnt matter. You also have a steam/SC ID and modders can see that as well so if you do get a new ip, vpn, etc they will still see that login. I even heard some modders speak about discord channels that have bots that alert other chatters/modders when you come online so they can just come at you when they want. Couple that with the crap that's happening now, and the game is in a clear state of unplayable. I havent gone through ALL of the EULA like I should have but im sure they are exempt from any class action suit as well for compromising everyone's security/anonymity. Sure there's ways around it if it even was protected. But seems like RS is just giftwrapping our vulnerabilities at this point.

the rockstart social club was always like this, look forward to it in gta VI, huge piece of exploitable crap

same here. the game is unplayable, I can't finish even a single agency contract mission without the game telling me I can't spectate something and teleporting me back to my spawn point.

[blackdevil]

same for me here from south america and also a friend. its "epidemic"

they can see everyone that logs in into the social club, well before they even get into gtaO, not just into your lobby, already happened in the past, rockstar will fix it this week, everyone will clap, and go back to buy sharkcards, so nothing will change

mesma coisa acontecendo aqui, esta impossível de jogar por favor alguém faça alguma coisa

[blackdevil]

well looking the situation from a farest view maybe thats why rockstar never supported mods, and even with a more conspiracy look maybe they allow this, let's see if they doo something at least

I have no doubt they will build their Anticheat FIRST then build gta around it. GTA5 online was a huge experiment. They know what to do next time. Which will be sad for the modders that liked to give money and have fun with players, but if it means getting rid of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like this, so be it. But im sure ppl will find a way to piss on the picnic. But hopefully RS has learned something other than the financial success of this test.

...or someone has hacked all of GTAO.

Considering what we know about what has previously happened to the Titanfall 2 servers, Apex Legends servers and several other games using engines from that era in time (i know, different devs but same timeframe of release/development), its certainly not out of the question to think that MAYBE someone, somewhere, has figured out how to get some MAJOR control over the GTA servers as a whole.

Especially with all the server files and such out there to run your own private server, if someone had the time and the willpower to sit and learn how it works...

I am certain someone has complete control over GTAO, and R* is completely silent on the matter because they have nothing to gain or lose.

maybe, but didn't improve ♥♥♥♥ between IV and V, have 0 expectations it will change for VI

Yes, the sharks are hungry tonight. Easy prey out there keeping them alive. There is no cure or fix. Just keep logging in at different times. Wait about 20 minutes and try again. It's happened several times to me as I was attempting to complete some cargo bombing mission. Also when I was just driving around. It's god. He lifted my car up and threw it like a football several feet in the air and it was a perfect spiral. Just imagine the football action that could be had... anyway, it's just a daydream to some bored upper level types. Group attack. Live with it, it's the modern world.

So my firewall is always up. And this is still happening to me.

Not just "a firewall", a specific rule to force you into public solo. This blocks your PC from the R* server and thus makes it impossible for people to connect to your session.

In specific: outgoing port 6672/UDP. I usually enable the rule when I'm in the first menu (where you can chose between online or story mode).
