So I guess those of us who would just go to a friend only server immediately upon starting the game, are fucked now if we are using linux. What a bunch of shit.
Yeah it's sad to see more games fixing their bad net code with client side anti cheat. Remember, GTA Online is a game where a lobby is transparently hosted on someones PC, which allows them to cheat however they want.
If Rockstar used proper dedicated servers, this wouldn't be an issue. Just like with Fall Guys and many other games.
A few weeks ago I thought about getting back into GTA Online, now I can't.
Yup. I put in a ticket with Rockstar and here is their official reply. TLDR: Fuck off.

Hello,
Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.
We certainly understand that you are unable to login to GTA online through Steam Deck after the update.
We would like to inform you that the primary goal of incorporating BattlEye into GTA Online is to enhance the overall gaming experience by actively scanning for cheats and exploits, and preventing players with cheats and mods from entering online. The Steam Deck players will not be able to join GTA Online but should be able to launch single-player without any issues. we appreciate your understanding in this matter.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know. We are here to assist you.
Best regards,
M______. Rockstar Support
Time to not pay for their stuff anymore.
They have definitely convinced me to never buy anything they make. I have too many other games in my library, so they can just piss right off.
