I have about 500+ hours in GTA Online and i find it fun but really they have rigged everything to make you buy the shark cards as it would take you ages to earn it legitimately, every new DLC is pretty much the same.
I was a little excited about the gunrunning update when i saw the APC with the SAM on the top thinking it would make a good defense against hydras when selling stock, but no rockstar have made it so that it cannot track targets so its pretty much useless, which is the same with everything they do as they don't want anybody making any money with things like the CEO, MC or Gunrunning stuff.
I often play solo in a empty public lobby so i can do my CEO crates in peace, as doing it with other randoms is just a recipe for disaster
, i like the CEO stuff because even the sell missions can be done solo without too much problems but with things like the MC stuff you have no chance by yourself as they often have you deliver in slow post vans etc so the trick is too change session lose 10% or so and try it again and hope you get a better sale like with the speedboats.
I accept that it is meant to be played with a few friends but that can be harder to do when you all have full lives and not much time on your hands to all be on at the same time.
It seems the gun running DLC is the same i read this off another forum about it

Its also going to be interesting in free roam when more people have the heavy sniper with explosive rounds as they can down a jet in two hits also because of the splash damage you should be able to destroy crates and cause all sorts of havoc for others, there is also thermal scope for the heavy sniper so no more hiding hehe.
Not many have them at the moment as its like 10mil overall cost to get them when you factor in all the things you need to buy bunker, research etc but once they all have them say goodbye to making any sales.
Its no wonder so many people end up cheating lol. But i still find it fun mostly the races and missions with friends, heists can be fun but usually with randoms it can be a nightmare

You have to hike up Mt. Chilliad and then press Alt + N to when at the top.
Contact R* support if that doesn't work.

Was going to say is that a statement from someone at R* or/and take2?! At first it read like it!
But the last paragraph cleared that up, can you imagine the up roar if that was their statement.....
But yes sadly he is right in what he says
Although modders/pc community have every right to "throw their toys out the pram"....

Agreed. I understand not being able to mod their online mode, but seriously, taking away from their single player game? Really, it's just a greedy tactic to milk more money from people by forcing them to play online for the new content.
Remember when PC games never had DLC and we are mocking the PS3/Xbox 360 for that crap? Not to mention the prices of console games. Look at PC now, DLC is now completely "normal" and PC games now release closer to the console price.

I was quoting myself actually, since it's relevant.
I've already received a number of death threats over there because I won't pander to the hate brigade. My standpoint is that I'm not against modding, provided it's fully endorsed by the developers, but I'm not averse to them reigning in control should they deem necessary.

I respect your onpinion but disagree. R* have many times given their tacit approval to modding. They have used countless GTA IV mods on their servers and make reference to not banning people for using single player mods.
This situation can translate to real world ones with supplier vs buyer power, so you're walking down to the buyer meeting hall and standing up giving a speech how you disagree with them. I would expect some hate bro.
I am starting to have a strange problem when I get disconnected from a session I am playing with my friends (usually in the middle of product delivery) It started only yesterday but it seem like i got DCd today every time after few minutes
Any ideas ? I've not changed any setting in the router as loads of people suggest

Is your router plugged into a power surge/multi-way adapter thing or straight into the wall? Kid you not, my router (gateway) didn't like the power surge adapter it was in, and I'd get kicked from sessions for ages.
Router is directly to the wall, however I am using eht0 over power adapters, but I have been using those for a bit now and didn't seem to have any problems, looks like I might need to do the direct cable from router then. But it's strange as this was working fine for weeks before the gunnruner update...
Do you know if your friends use firewall tweaks to keep the session exclusive to your group?
Again I disagree. Rockstar, not Take2 have always given tacit approval for modding (see my last post to you) I also think you need to look at history. At no point has anybody from Rockstar come out and said you are not allowed to Mod. Take2 are a law unto themselves as publisher and ultimately rights own and seem to want to erase 15 years of modding a game that Rockstar themselves would publicise and promote.
It's very unlikely that Take-Two will renege on their decision. Their revenue easily supersedes anything that a minority of players can deprive them of.
I'm not entirely unsympathetic of your plight, but I think people need to touch base with reality. We're dealing with a corporation that favours a much larger demographic, namely the console market. The modding scene is something they can afford to relinquish.
It's probably not that then. There's a bunch of other stuff, and I do think Gunrunners has changed some things. I think the ones more affected now tend to be those who never had the need to do port forwarding, check their network is set to private not public, set up a static IP, firewall rules, adapter rules (Flow Control disabled, Interrupt Moderation disabled, etc), Windows Defender exclusions for all GTA/Rockstar Social Club/Steam folders and main processes, check for/and set the MTU size their router can handle without dropping, etc.
I did all of that in the past and it helped a fair bit (plugging router into wall later was the icing on the cake).
Doing several trace routes wouldn't hurt either, just to rule out your connection to the Rockstar cloud itself (although the issue will probably be peer-to-peer dependent). Open Command Prompt and enter:
tracert prod.cloud.rockstargames.com
Do it like 5 times, what's the slowest ping you see in any of the hops?
