September 17, 2024 marks the 11th anniversary of the release of the R-Star open-world masterpiece Grand Theft Auto 5. At the same time, there is also an online version of "GTAOL". To this day, this game can still be on the Steam weekly sales chart from time to time, which is inseparable from the high frequency of updates and continuous operation of GTAOL by R stars.
Relying on the various microtransactions of "GTAOL", R Star can earn considerable income from it every year.
And on the occasion of the 11th anniversary of GTAOL's operation, R-Star has also brought a big gift to the majority of players - according to the latest update announcement of R-Star, the BattlEye anti-cheat feature has now been officially added to the game. The addition of BattlEye's anti-cheat feature aims to improve the online gaming environment. Players in story mode and modding can actively choose to turn off the feature.
Compared to the average online game, the online mode of a single-player game like GTAOL is often more difficult to control. In open battles, "fairy fights" are everywhere. Many newcomers who have cleared the story mode and intend to show their skills in online gameplay often have the first lesson when entering Los Santos is to put the character model on the very insulting toilet.

Because the plug-in problem is too rampant, many normal players are forced to open the cheat to protect themselves. And for the sake of their own game experience, most people don't dare to open the battle situation at all. In 2022, there was news that R-Star removed 95% of the anti-cheat system, but players were not deeply impressed.
- Because in the last 9 years, the anti-cheat system has not played a role.
But this time, R seems to be in earnest. In the last few days, you can see many cases where BattlEye's anti-cheat feature has been triggered. It's not that BattlEye BattlEye's anti-cheat function is outstanding, but it's basically equivalent to "no defense". As long as the cost of opening the hanging is slightly increased, it is enough to dissuade some hanging brothers.
In addition, online assistants, which are used more by domestic players, have also been disabled. Failure to delete the file will result in the account being blocked.
There are actually many games with BattlEye anti-cheat features on the market, such as "Armed Assault 3", "Rainbow Six Siege", "PUBG", and "Destiny 2". But it's the first time that GTAOL has been so effective.
Of course, the sudden launch of the anti-cheat feature of "GTAOL" after 11 years of operation may also be a preparation for the upcoming "GTA6". With the success of the previous game, GTAOL will also be further iterated next year. If you can limit the cheating problem when the game is first released, it will reduce a lot of trouble in the future.
The launch of BattlEye BattlEye's anti-cheat function may not completely solve the problem of cheating, but the optimization of the game environment is real. In the future, I hope that one day, players will be able to enter the open battle without worrying about the impact of cheats.
