Game News GTA Online: After this big change, these players can no longer play it!
As the wait for Grand Theft Auto 6 continues to grow, Rockstar faces the challenge of integrating BattlEye into GTA Online.
Only 1 year left for GTA6
If all goes well, there is only one year left and Grand Theft Auto VI will finally be in the hands of players. Even though the rumors about the delay have not technically died down yet, we can still say that we are at the end of the road. However, nothing is certain yet of the masterpiece which Rockstar will soon unveil.
“The good news is that all six Rockstar employees have told me they have not heard of any delays. Bad news: it’s a big, ambitious game that could well be delayed! There’s too much time to say anything definitive,” Bloomberg Media’s Jason Schreier summed it up perfectly. Fortunately, if the worst happens, players always have the option to pass the time by either starting a new game of GTA 5 or the older ones before taking the slap of the century with GTA 6, or by going Play GTA OnlineWell, assuming they can still identify with the new studio policy.
More GTA Online?
It took 10 years for Rockstar to address the problem of cheating in GTA Online, and we can say that the studio has pulled out all the stops. At the beginning of the month, the software BattleEye was implemented there. In short, it allows you to detect and prevent attempts to use cheat software that accesses online game servers or tampers with protected game code. On paper, this is an excellent idea that allows players to avoid sabotaging their gaming experience. The problem is that it is not compatible with the Steam Deck.
Therefore, there are thousands of users who are surprised by GTA Online, especially since it remains one of the most played games in the world Steam deck. Now Valve has pinned it with the sticker “not supported”However, as the media emphasize The edgeStrictly speaking, BattlEye is not the problem, as some games that feature the software work very well.
Fortunately, we know the perpetrator, and his name is Proton : the compatibility layer that allows you to play Windows games on Linux. So that players can finally return to their game, the developers have to contact BattlEye to enable compatibility. “Apart from this communication, no additional work is required from the developer,” Valve even clarified in 2021. It is therefore only a matter of time before the problem is solved, with the group obviously aware of it. In the meantime, if you are not on the Steam Deck but BattlEye is still bothering you, know that you can Simply disable itbut without them you expose yourself to more risks.
