Question to Steam Deck users playing GTA Online

[Zoey.]

Did you play GTA Online during a road trip/flight? If you did, how was the connection between you and other players?

[Wizzen One]

Steam Deck users do not play GTA online. Not since BattlEye was implemented. That is unless something changed but last I heard (read really), steam deck is not supported.

sadly rockstar wont let us play on steadeck

Yup as the other two said, we can't play GTAO.

Rockstar long story short gave us the Linux gamers the finger, kicked us in the balls, pissed in our faces and laughed at us while watching us roll around on the ground in pain. They took the money and ran.

I just installed the game on my SD and it's stuck because of that stupd launcher! I am planning to buy the rdr2 after this game but I will just get the rdr2 for free without any issues with the launcher and I can play it offline lol

im sure there are way better games to play during a road trip/flight

The question was in the past tense, did you, sadly i only ever played it on the Deck on good wifi wherever i was, so cant really answer the question either. Never thought it would be any good on the train with their poor wifi speed, I imagined the game would be unplayable anyway.

Adding an anticheat to a 15 year old game when the new one is coming out. please just make steam deck compatible all i want is my drift cars in an invite only session. We ALL know this is just Rockstar being lazy. No wonder your staff and founders are leaving. GTA6 = Dustborn. I never thought Rockstar would just be another EA makes me sad.

You you are dropping bombs and It really is sad that we even have to talk about this stuff. Rockstar used to be stand up, but that was a long, long time ago.

The sickening part is they know the Linux gamers aren't the mass of the cheaters. They know this. They have server logs for days. Linux gamers are the least of any threat to the gaming sphere in GTAO. Rockstar is just sadistic and hostile toward Linux gamers. When I say Linux gamers, that also includes the Steam Deck gamers.

All we want to do is have some fun by majority. Drift, drive, crash, shoot NPC police, etc. Yes, some people will cheat, but it is by far lesser of a problem than the people cheating on Windows.

The decision was hostile against Linux, intentionally, based on perceptions of situations that did not exist. Yes, some cheated on Linux, but not by majority. Linux gamers by mass were not cheating. Rockstar knows it. We know it. But, there's not a fricking thing we can do about it.

Rockstar, ..i. ,

When GTA online was on the deck I was able to play fivem on my wifi hotspot while on a road trip. Worked fine

Guess steam deck users had stable connection before battleeye x d

GTAO isn't playable on Linux anymore due to BattlEye. But, I do remember playing and actually completing the Cayo Perico Heist with another Steam Deck friend on the last day of school. Before the dark times, before the BattlEye.
