That's how long it took me to load into my GTA Online apartment from Windows last night, as Steam first opened the Rockstar launcher and then spent a short lifetime loading me into an online session.įor a developer with Rockstar's resources, GTA Online's load times are genuinely mind-boggling. Cheating is rampant in GTA Online, but at least it's sometimes ridiculous and funny. On several occasions, cheaters in Morgan’s servers have made bags of money fly out of his butt for an hour. He leveled up about 20 times in a minute or two and hasn't been banned, thankfully. On the bright side, one of my friends was chased by a modder who made collectibles rain from the sky, and each collectible gave him a healthy chunk of RP (GTA Online's experience points). But if you're interested in doing any of GTA Online's "free roam" activities, like running a drug business or buying and selling goods as a CEO, you're at the mercy of other players on your server. I spend more time in missions with my friends. Or they latch onto your back and ride you while spawning clones of themselves.īecause I don't spend a ton of time in GTA Online just messing around in the open world, cheaters haven't totally ruined my experience. Or they spawn in tanks emblazoned with the Nazi flag, which our writer Morgan has run into. Or they have a modded SMG that fires rockets. I'm sure GTA Online has some sort of anti-cheat system, but in practice it seems to be about as effective as someone holding up a sign that says "Don't cheat, please." Odds are good that you'll end up on a server with at least one person who can blow you up from across the map whenever they feel like it.
