      If you play on PC you can change 1 file in a text editor and get solo lobbies every time. Share the file or the changes with friends and you’ll all join each other, I assume it’s got something to do with file hashing

      I made a YouTube video on it years ago when I noticed the load screen skip mod produced interesting results in lobbies and started testing and occasionally people comment that it still works lol

        Worse. I’m convinced that Rockstar only keeps the servers running because nobody knows which ones they are among the sea of GTA5 servers. The game has been entirely abandoned by the devs, because it never took off like GTA5 did.

        Hacking in RDO isn’t just rampant; It’s downright expected. If you’re not hacking, you’ll constantly get blown up from across the map by people with unlimited explosive ammo, no reloads, and auto-aim. The bare minimum requirement is an unlimited health hack, just so you can survive the cross-map snipes long enough to finish a mission or two.

          I tried playing online when it first came out. It was fun for a few days, but wasn’t very long before cheaters would just spawn a hundred cougars right on top of you every game.

            I’m sure that was frustrating for you, but from an outsider’s perspective that’s funny as fuck.

              Yeah the first time was objectively funny. But it became a multiple times an hour thing, where you just couldn’t play the game any more.
