I Need To Rant About GTA Online's Problems... 

NEW: ballstortured is back on PC spamming players with bounty messages 😂😂😂. This broke after I made this video.

I’m pretty sure the games code is held together with string since it’s 10 years old. I don’t have any hope these can get fixed, we just need to hope GTA 6 is held together better lol

Watch out ghilliemaster your gonna have the rockstar fanboys tell you to stop complaining . Because how dare we expect Rockatar to fix their game . We are so ignorant .

Idk why but hearing Ghille rant about all the shit that anoys me in gta gives me some hope

Rockstar never fails to disappoint what can I say..

The contracts have been a blast to playthrough, but the amount of bugs and glitches is INSANE. Cops noclipping through walls and not showing up on radar, noose spawning on you and instantly killing you, noose being able to shoot 1 million bullets per second, the list goes on. I hope R* fixes these bugs, but they probably won't.

Drug wars update? More like the bug wars update

I'm no programmer, but it actually makes sense that the game gets buggier as more stuff is added. There's a host of examples I could give of adding more to something makes it more prone to issues/less stable. The problem with GTA Online I imagine is that Rockstar neglected upkeep to prevent these issues for so long, that now it's reached a near unfixable point. If they had fixed the problems when they first presented themselves, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But now, there's so many systems intertwined with each other that have been added throughout the years that the code is likely just spaghetti, and a lot more fragile than we realize. Maybe adding extra security could tip the game over the edge, then again maybe not given RDR2 is not nearly as complex and still suffers from the same kind of security issues as I understand. I also wouldn't put laziness and greed past Rockstar, they're definitely one of the worst gaming companies out there right now, I could just see there being other factors than pure laziness and greed.

It's honestly depressing for a game that I love so deeply to not be well cared for by it's creator.

When the bugs are faster than the dripfeed. 💀

What scars me the most is when other players can get your information or try to take your IP address or just take your account away after all that hard work you have done

At this point, they're not likely to fix too much. A lot of the vulnerabilities are due to fundamental oversights in its design. At this point it'll be more work than it's worth with GTA6 right around the corner and a new GTAO coming with it. Hopefully, they did learn some lessons and will have a better infrastructure for the next one...

Gta Online Teaching People How To Rant In 2023 🎉

I grew up with rockstar playing san andreas, liberty city and gta iv for hundreds of hours, it’s been like 10 years and they’re still milking gta 5. I just want this nightmare to end, i can’t believe they abandoned my sweet baby boy rdo for this😭

I hate whenever i’m playing, and i’m trying to heal up and use the snacks through the weapon while, it’ll pull up my phone or have my player come out of cover and get shot up. It happens everytime, when my health is low and flashing, and i try to heal up, just gets up and gets killed. Fucking hate this game some times

We just need GTA 6. This game still uses 2013 netcode which leads to the abundance of godmode glitches, black screen issues, and much more. Many of these glitches can't be patched without making a brand new game, and the engine and netcode for this game isn't going to be overhauled this late into the life cycle.

I feel the saddest part of modern gaming is that there is so much potential in each of the games we choose to play but it is never truly capitalised on and is instead just squandered. Imagine having a game that people have wanted to play for ten years and instead of embracing that and running with it rockstar have mistreated it

The fact that you showed the review of people having so many problems about their gaming experience in GTA online is absolutely surprising for me

My biggest gripe, by far, is the reporting system being especially useless on PC version. It's mind boggling that cheaters can intercept and destroy reports filed against them with mod menus. Even so, at least a few people still adamantly deny having god mode or some other cheat if you call out their obvious cheating, to the point where these same rats try to gaslight you. The feeling of helplessness against all the blatant cheaters and exploiters is immeasurable.

That’s why whenever I see another gaming community talk about lack of communication or devs not listening or fixing issues I always tell them try being a rockstar games/ gta online player. Compared to rockstar those devs are speedy when it comes to fixes. Im convinced rockstar literally has nobody working in the security team or someone who is inexperienced. If these issues are never fixed. Also rockstar needs to get out of this mindset of doing patches and fixes once every 6 months or until a next major update. Many issues in the game can’t be allowed to be in the game for so long and it just makes the game borderline unplayable for the time being. Something needs to happen to rockstar legally for them to get off their ass to do something about the game and improve to modern gaming standards

Since the game has to intentionally put you in god mode for loading screens or inside properties, there should definitely be a flag in the game that says "if X player is not close to where the godmode is triggered" it should be turned off by default

Actually games getting more buggy and broken is quite common once they get near a decade old, and have consistently added new stuff. This phenomenon is typically called "spaghetti code". There are plenty of older MMO's out there that have experienced this.

3:55 it didn’t fix that much as you might believe. The data protocol that was implemented stops modder stalkers from force-joining your invite only and closed friend session, but while you are in freemode. Crew sessions are still breachable since crew spoofing is still possible globally (you can see modder change the crew tag immediately and it’s visible to you unlike the name, the Rockstar ID and the IP address which only the modder can see those three nowadays. And what they didn’t fix is modders force-joining you during jobs (I mean any job). It doesn’t matter which type of session you are hosting the job from, modders can still force join you in heists, heist setups, contact missions, races, adversary modes, you name it.

I can't play with my friends much cause everytime we try to join each other in an invite only or a public session, after about 5 seconds it says the session timed out. Like wtf?

Instead of complaining and waiting for Rockstar to someday fix the game, best solution is to stop playing the game. Play a better game.

All the bugs and glitches are awful, always have been and always will be. The controller input glitch is the worst. It happens to me dozens and dozens of times per day. It is unplayable. Edit: I want to thank you and give you shout out Ghillie for being one of the only people talking about this stuff.

I think today the most common problem in gta online is the hackers. There are way to many hackers in a single lobby today. All using God mode, all griefing their KD and Rockstar can't ban them for anything

I have 4k hours in this game and I have gotten sick of it and completely moved on from it And everytime I come back I just get more disappointed from it but what do I expect from rockstar.

All im going to say is. You know a game sucks when hacking just to get money is seen as generally acceptable within a community.

nearly a year and a half since drug wars, and the input bug is still not fixed, Rockstar is sucking themselves off over these bugs and glitches...

Seen a lot more issues than there used to be. Game won't save my settings, load into Story even though I choose Online. All my cameras are reset, and every time I load (not just login, but l load from mission) it tells me I did all Heists and can now call Lester. Some of the Acid Van missions are bugged, if you grab the supplies before bumping into them to register 'supplies' you can never return them.

can someone help me I try to play the game but I can't due to rockstar files or something I can't log in to play gta online? 😢

What annoys me the most is the glitch where u lose all control of the game and can’t play and are forced to restart, I play solo in private lobbies and I’m aware that eventually in this session I’ll lose control💀

My forbidden text to my crew members: "Kick MP3. They'll inv more" no bs. The game is def at it's worst point. But it's Rockstars own fault. GTAVO should have been faded out long ago, new gens and GTA6 should have launched together. Another triple a game shot to sh*t by greed.

GTA Online is a problem in itself. The invite to a private session problem has existed since *day fucking one* I stopped playing years ago, after doomsday and never came back

Can’t forget to mention the interaction menu bug and securoserv bug where 1: the CEO and mc tabs won’t even pop up. And 2: the CEO menu will be grayed out because it is “currently unavailable”

Updates are always been new content related because of shark cards and very rarely about quality of life or bug fixing patches, it has been 10 years and it is a crowning achievement for Rockstar keeping such a buggy and slow mess at peak for years

And if it was glitches that gave players money it would be fixed faster than the glitches were discovered and/or the players doing the glitches would be rebooted (back to level 1) or banned.

I just got bored of the game and felt everything was repeating itself.

the rockstar game services are unavailable right now ... hate that

My buddy and me play GTAO almost exclusively by ourselves on closed sessions as we have no interest in pvp. Trying to be on the same session is complicated, playing missions together is really difficult, and staying together on the same lobby after a mission is just plain impossible, we get randomly thrown somewhere else. WHY THE FFFFFKKK IS THERE A CLOSED FRIENDS SESSION ONLY IF AFTER EACH DAMN MISSION WE GET THROWN WITH OTHER PLAYERS AND WE HAVE TO DO IT ALL OVER AGAIN!????

Its sad, for me i cant even play GTA right now bc it says servers are down, no matter what i do. idk if anyone else is having these issues but its annoying

Another problem is the game invitations, let's see, I'm going to be quite clear, I know that playing heists with random players is a headache, but even so, seeing the positive side, it's fun to play with them, no matter how stupid they sound. And I've been waiting for the auto invite to be fixed since the middle of last year, for those who don't know what I mean, no player is notified when starting a heist, race, mission, etc. of course I can depend on matchmaking but that's a joke, hardly a player joins the gta online matchmaking system is really stupid and that's why I prefer the automatic invitation I've been around since April 2022 to be exact and they never fixed it

Its a 10+ year old game... Rockstar doesnt owe you updates for the sake of funding your career choice. Everyone else should just play something different. No game is going to have infinite content.

I haven't experienced any of the glitches that you mentioned, but I have experienced this one where I die while in a loading screen

on PC when i launch the game i also start up Resource Monitor, when i join a session, 1st thing i do is Right Click GTA V, click Suspend Process, wait a few sec, & resume process, & im in public lobby alone from all the game crashers, godmode, teleport session into penthouse, entire session endless kill loop, chat spam, character freeze, you name it, its all gone with Resource Monitor. Now i can organize my garage

I ended up quitting GTA with everything going on every lobby had godmode, everything was so damn expensive and good ways to make money was always getting nerfed, and constant griefers.

Music to my ears GhillieMaster. I only play this game to hunt griefers these days, but I can barely do that anymore because of the avalanche of hackers and modders. God help me that i'm on PC as well

I play on PC and between all the modders who toss your vehicles around when you are on a delivery mission, to the constant disconnects, really kills my enjoyments and want to play online. This is why I prefer FiveM, atleast they ban the modders.

From how genuinely mad this man sounds, I can imagine a company like Konami or EA looking at Rockstar saying, "Damn, we know we're bad, but, damn".

All very well said Ghille!! I'm on PS5/PS4 so we don't have the disconnect after message error bug thankfully. Tryhards, Orb warriors (trash), and Booters are however a thing and probably always will be. We solve this problem by #1. Doing most to all business work etc in Invite only or Friends only lobbies now that that is an option thankfully. That takes cate of tryhards and orb warriors. #2. I personally use Express VPN with a compatible Router and I am literally un-bootable. I even had one of my friends who knows how to boot try and boot me and he could not 😁 GTA Online as we all know is not safe to play without a VPN sadly... We mostly just do hsrmless glitches like merging Benny and F1 wheels/modded paint jobs etc onto vehicles that are not supposed to have them. This harms Noone and does not in any way give the user of said modded vehicle any advantage over another player... We might dupe a few cars here and there but you know what who honestly really cares and it's kind of our way of giving the middle finger to Rockstar and Take Two for being greedy bastards and only focusing on monetary gains I stead of player experience. It's a joke at this point so yeah we break the game. To hell with em I say 🖕R* Things we don't do however include God Mode griefing, Orb Spamming, permanent OTR, or whatever other abusive glitch tactics. Shit like that is wrong and to my knowledge nobody I play with participates in crap like that. Point is this game thls clearly broken and is in need of desperate fixing. Will it ever happen? Probably not to be honest. Hopefully GTA 6 will be a better experience even though I honestly don't really have high hopes for that game either...

The only thing I know about the Report System is that sometimes when you're reported, you'll get a message at the bottom of your screen saying something like "we have received one or multiple reports of against you for cheating and are now recording your further gameplay" or something like that. ( only reason I know is because I got a long range snipe on a greifer getting into his jet on the beach and got an immediate report, couldn't tell you if it works or not since I wasn't banned or anything)

I’ve heard it all before, but I feel like rockstar hasn’t, that’s why more videos about this topic needs to be put out, thank you

they abandonded rdo for this

A company with over 2,000 employees and literally billions in net worth, and dumping millions of dollars into upkeep and updates, are being beaten by people out of their house on a 5 year old computer. How is rockstar, a company currently valued at $5 Billion, being beaten so easily and so quickly by so many people using lesser hardware?

And the funny part about this is… People complain about how new games are unfinished and are in a buggy state (i.e. Battlefield 2042, MWII, and No Man’s Sky), but they don’t realize how they’ve been slowly improving and getting better with the bug patches and content (especially No Man’s Sky), and now they’re amazing games, while on the other hand, GTA Online is still bugged to hell (especially on Last Gen), and it gets constantly worse with every update/patch Rockstar releases… What Rockstar should do on their next DLC is do a Big Haul Update, which brings all the constructed buildings to life (especially Mile High Club), cars and game modes from the modding community, and just QOL updates to make the game feel better… But knowing how Rockstar is, I highly doubt this will happen. I’ve lost so much respect from Rockstar, they are just as bad as EA, and the fact that they don’t have to try with this game is just… baffling to me.

The reality check will happen when none of their loyal supporters buy GTA 6

As long as the problems, bugs, glitches and so on are not related to giving the player more money, nothing will happen.

It’s sad that some people even after quite clearing having all these things happen to them and will decide to still defend rockstar.

At this point I'm just convinced Rockstar themselves sell mod menus.

There is a glitch ever since update 1.66 that won't allow you to go online at all, it just puts you in an infinite loading screen, it happened to me and I just gave up on gta, the game is screwed.

Lol *booted out of session*

BALLSTORTURE RETURNED and I just got kicked after that stupid -99999 message HELL YEAH time to skip playing the game again

Endless bugs and modders are two big reasons why I stopped playing this game. I really loved and was enjoying it, but eventually got fed up with Rockstar's lack of care for GTAO. Those things such as endless loadings and modders fuсking with everyone are just taking lots of your time and ruin any fun

I experienced all of these glitches and my friend went afk at the main menu and the screen was glitching and flashing and when he got back from eating he had the main menu screen burned into his $1000 4k 120hrz tv. His fault but damn that sucks.

My issue, after a fairly recent patch, I have not been able to connect to online at all. All I get is: "Files could not be downloaded from Rockstar servers." Granted, I don't have the best network (LTE/hotspot), but I could get into invite only servers and play with friends no problem. Even play races with Full lobbies etc... I only want to enjoy the businesses and new vehicles. After months of being able to play on LTE, now it won't even try.

Every "fix" to a bug/glitch/etc. has the potential to cause extra problems, so the fact that the only thing Rockstar aggressively creates patches against is money glitching, that should tell you all you need to know about that company's priorities.

I enjoy how "Lol" is forbidden text but "Gay?" Is not

To be honest when comparing the leap from GTA 5 to Xbox One from the 360 the differences are night and day, but when comparing that leap to GTA 5 expanded and enhanced but not really edition, its really pathetic

I GET CONTROLLER BUG EVERY SINGLE DAY. ALSO THIS WEEK ESPECIALLY IVE BEEN HAVING TO AT LEAST RESTART MY CONTROLLER CONSTANTLY. XBOX SERIES S. Thank you Ghillie for bringing more awareness to this. This game is literally floating facedown in the water rn. Also, I play GTA for the missions and co operative play. I should be able to go into public lobbies and at least travel to one business without getting blown up. Not having PvE only lobbies is RIDICULOUS. Not having some sort of SBMM for missions is RIDICULOUS. And PC public lobbies are literally just unplayable garbage; that’s where I started GTA online. Never again.

The only way Rockstar will ever address properly godmode or orb spam is by making them believe those glitches somehow gives you free money.

At this point I'd rather just be killed and my cargo destroyed on a run, over just randomly getting spawned onto the beach in a forced deathmatch with everyone in the lobby.

3:30 this was an attempt at fixing "bypass chat filter" but was quickly bypassed

For new-gen GTA, sometimes users experience the servers are down, but the status for the service is up.

I love rants about games I play from time to time because it's more fun than playing the game itself

Once rockstar adds updates it unpatches other things and opens new windows glitches are really the only thing keeping the game alive

I keep losing connection, just come back to the game, and I lost connection twice in a hour, so I just gave up...

I’ve seen a lot of people saying that they can’t connect at all. It goes to the screen with Lester saying rockstar servers are down. I do t know if that’s just a PC issue, but people haven’t been able to play for months

On PC, we've had this issue now for over half a year where your chat just randomly won't show up on the other players' screens. From around mid Drug Wars to SA Mercenaries, it was limited to just "your chat connection with these random people in particular is just cursed", to after said update being completely sporadic; you never know if your friend or whoever else is going to recieve your chats or not. We shouldn't have to make separate discord servers or constantly have our phones up (for those of us without second monitors) just to be able to communicate while playing

I’m a month late, but seeing how buggy and unplayable GTA Online has become ever since years ago makes me shift into other games that rarely experiences issues compared to Grand Theft Auto. I like to add my biggest pet peeve, which would be players performing money glitches to make a quick buck without spending shark cards (not worth $100 for only $8m dollars) only to receive the worst punishments of character resets than players who do god mode glitches, hackersC and griefers, who only get a slap on the wrist, even when reported with actual evidence. Yes, I’m aware money glitches is considered cheating and exploiting. Players doing god mode and orbital cannon glitches should have received the same punishment too or worse.

This game went from great to a pure headache 💢💢💢 I don’t understand how when your flying on your oppressor and you fly near a street pole your oppressor gravitates towards the pole and knocks you off the bike. What I also hate with a passion how our vehicles can’t drive through a freaking bush!!! Since when has a bush ever been stronger than a vehicle that weighs hundreds of pounds like make it make sense rockstar! Or when your scrolling through the weapons wheel and it just switches to a completely different weapon getting you jammed up it’s sooooo many bugs it just makes me wish I could travel to Rockstar headquarters and play the game in front of the developers so show them how ass the game has became and I love grand theft auto but these bugs and stupid things that constantly keep happening drives me insane ! I agree 1000% of everything you said in your video man.

They won't fix a input glitch but the second someone finds a money glitch they are on it within the hour

stopped playing gta a long time ago now, wasted so much time building wealth, trying to enjoy it. its sad to see a game get worse with time, rather than better.

The crude ‘fix’ for wall breaching on cayo perico which basically locks your ability to look left or right for a few seconds after you climb on something. Horrible way to fix something that really shouldn’t be that high on their list of priorities

Rockstar doesn't care about us players that play this game legitimately. They can't fix anything but if its a money glitch theyre patching it immediately. Such a sad company

GTA online hasn't been working for a week now keeps saying no connection or servers down

I am a longtime player, around level 700. I have put up with everything getting worse and worse but since the security break I haven’t touched the game and will not risk it until they have fixed it. I miss Los santos- it feels like home- but no, Rockstar, this is too much!

4:34 - It's usually because the person that invited you doesn't have you friends. If they invite you to a friends only session and they don't have you friended, it would say that. Vice versa.

Main thing I hate is when I fill my ammo and when I get back on it’s low again

Even in the Cato Perico heist it’s almost like they want us not to get the elite challenge due to the infinite come glitch, i just failed earlier on hard mode because the infinite cone glitch happened and somehow a guy with a mini gun blazed me down down in the basement… im pretty sure that not suppose to happen, also don’t even get me started on how you begin the heist in the boat. It sends you straight on land

The PC account glitch hack was the last straw for me. I uninstalled and never looked back. I am not going to put money into GTA 6 (if I am young enough when it happens) unless they ditch p2p and show promise.

This is a company that had their src stolen. Security is the last thing you can expect from them.

I have an issue that’s been going on for almost 7 months where the game won’t work on my home Wi-Fi but works for a hotspot (just shows Lester saying server is down). I got ahold of rockstar and told them what was going they tested my internet connection and they said we will send this to another department for review. This was 7 months ago and still have not heard anything.

Rockstar has basically banned the entire English dictionary at this point. The text feature is pointless

PS5 is not experiencing any of this.

Completely agree with everything said. On a side note, I love seeing my gamertag in the background video lol also I’m pretty sure I’m the only rainbow truck in the race

Multiplayer in Rockstar Games is like Platforming in Dark Souls; It's janky, barely works and probably shouldn't exist

I tried to give someone a compliment on their flying and supposedly had forbidden text. I was confused as to why I suddenly couldn't connect to the server. Now I know why

i had input glitch bad until i switched from performance RT to just performance. haven't had a problem since

Here’s something I’ve been experiencing: for some reason my MC Businesses have been getting raided like crazy. Now they get raided after I become an MC President for 5 seconds. I once delivered a Bike to a customer and didn’t even have time to put the cash in the bank before I got raided and once I was delivering bar supplies and once I’m done the game says that I “failed to save my staff” and it’s only the MC businesses bc my Special Cargo Warehouses and Bunker have only been raided once since this started like late February and I have security on all of the businesses that can have that upgrade. This all started when I did the Data breaches finale for the Doomsday heist and right after I got raided 5 times back to back. They raided my Meth lab my Weed farm my Cash factory and my Coke lockup and then my Nightclub. Now at the time I didn’t have a Document Forgery but if I didn’t that would have been raided too. And it sucks bc I need to become an Mac President during my free mode grinding routine I made but now it’s not worth it anymore. Has anyone else experienced this is problem or is it just me
