Ok thanks man.
Although disappointed to hear that, Im gonna uninstall it tonight then and make room for something else. Doubt I'll ever return to this now!
Such a shame as it had so much potential

That's worrying. After BluD and James left, some guys chased me but lost me when I ducked down into the underground station. I saw the guys radar dot near me so he must have been looking around overground. He didn't find me but I got launched from a firehydrant and set on fire.
Called the guy out on it and got crashed to desktop. My Sky router also got knocked off and started to do the Self Heal nonsense.
I read a post on Reddit earlier of someone's game being crashed by a modder and their Internet being taken down.
I hope it's an amazing coincidence and not a worrying new feature these modding turds have in their menu's :/

Sorry to bail out of the OCUK lobby, a friend I hadn't played with for a while invited me to the series heist. Ended up making two new friends and gave them my heist money as they were new. They were very good players as well, no deaths for the entire heist.
Would be great to get another good size OCUK lobby like that again though.

Does not sound good at all!
Thats enough for me, uninstalling it right now...
Can't be dealing with idiots like that. How has R* not put an end to this yet? I've literally never known a video game be so full of hackers and modders before.
It's a real shame. Hell, some guy has made an anti-modder mod which tries to prevent the griefing, but users of that get banned along with everyone else.
It's annoying but avoidable at the moment. Despite the prevalence of them, it's not as big a deal as it's made out. Usually I get a good couple of hours in when I'm online, and most of that is grief free.

Wow, that is bad!
Its good that so many OCUK are coming online now for private session invites, but its a pity modders are taking over freeroam as its fun to play with randoms sometimes on it.

Hmm... one of the biggest games of all time that is part of one of the most popular series of games has hacker/modders/etc. in the multiplayer component. I wonder why
I've been getting crashed out a lot recently, i started messing around with my overclock settings thinking i have set summat up wrong then i noticed i didnt even have an over clock running the last 2 times it happened. I noticed it always happened right after i killed someone then i made the connection, its just another silly mod they had to cause a graphics error and crash your game.
I just got back from work and turned on the PC and the CPU temp on my taskbar said 13 degrees, i thought that cant be right so i checked my water temp which was 11 degrees lol.....i guess winter is finally coming. Im still pumped up from work so i dont feel it but i think im gonna be flying a bit wonky later on as my hands will be shivering lol.

Tis a shame though, could have been a huge online game, 10x bigger than it is. I convinced loads of my mates from WoW to come over and play it and some of them even upgraded their PCs so they could and most of them stopped playing after a few weeks because of the hackers. I feel a bit of a **** for wasting all their time.
Mmmmm that is very odd.. Yesterday afternoon there were connection issues in game. I had to crash out as rockstar services were unavailable or super slow. That was after I had been I a public lobby for about 2 mins while I sorted out some changes to my player... When I was in desktop, my router threw a wobbly and I had to do a restart.
My first thought was that I put it down to GTA in so far as it might have been multiple requests on a persistent session connection somewhere. (They were having issues on the PSN network yesterday) however I am not sure that is how the p2p GTA model works. But if it did, then that could in theory bring it down, or slow it down and it would essentially be a DOS type scenario... Though not intentional. However it might also have been my isp.. Who knows, I could wireshark and have a dig around but CBA... I will leave it to others.

I was running perfectly fine all night yesterday, only had issues after being booted from the game, and the Sky router is usually rock solid. Hopefully just a coincidence 
BluD, I managed to get a hydra to stand up on its tail yesterday
I climbed the Maze bank tower with landing gear down until it stalled out and slowly landed on one of the ledges around the sides of the bank. Chucked it into hover mode for a few seconds and managed to get it to stand straight up. I over did it a little in hover so it only stood up for a little bit before going too far and 'cartwheeling' off the side of the bank, but it's definitely possible without blowing the plane up.
Think I've got a clip recorded of it in action, I'll have a mess around with the Editor later.

Yeah I did that but it was still borked when I had restarted and there was no connection speed on another devices.... even Mrs bagpuss commented that she could not do her online competitions, which of course, it was escalated to a blue light, all hands on deck situation...

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/gta-5s-online-mode-has-8-million-players-per-week-/1100-6432029/
Albeit this is share across multiple platforms, but 8 millions unique and active players every week is pretty damn big, probably some of the highest there is (excluding the big players (read: free2play) like LoL, etc.)
Battlefield 4 + Hardline have around 6 mil for comparison.
I highly doubt hackers will continue to go away any time soon. Rockstar have actually made an effort, even though not exactly clearly identifiable, by implementing various detection methods and just generally cracking down on modded accounts by introduced much more stricter ban offences. From what I can tell some areas of these mod menus are a no-go zone 'cause you're practically setting yourself up for a swift insta-ban, so many people have turned away from modding (myself included, although I never had the intention to grief others). Shame that the more simpler things like invincibility and god mode still prevail.
Just don't "prod the bear", if you will. Most hackers/modders/whatever you wanna call 'em don't go all out with the sole intention of crashing an entire servers game for "fun" (based off my past encounters.) Usually you have to provoke them some way, whether it be in chat or mechanically in-game. Then they go after you. Instead just swiftly leave the server, or better yet, report them. I don't know how effective the in-game reporting system is exactly (I'm sure it works in one way or another), but you can also report via Rockstar support or one of their e-mails. Seems like a bit of effort, but just grab a screenshot and attach to the ticker, fill in some deets, and away you go. I only rarely do this to someone who has particularly been excessively griefing, but I've yielded good result thus far (though I do copy+pasta the email content to other people I was playing with, probably helps having multiple cases against...) May not seem like much getting one or two people banned, but they're likely part of some 1337 hax0rz forum and will cry saying the tools they use got themselves banned, thus potentially turning away new comers. Same with their friends, etc. Also let's RS know there's still hackers prevalent (I'm sure they know this well enough any way
) and will continue to introduce new anti-cheat methods. I wish the game was better at it's core; server browser, dedicated servers, modding servers, etc. But obviously the game's current state is raking in cash via micro-transactions and has a fairly substantial player base, so it's working for them as intended.Anyway, all of that's probably to be expected from any online game. It just seems so prevalent here 'cause it's a hugely popular game (that isn't F2P/moba/mmo/etc., those types of games), and the fact that the nature of the game is (personally) to grind-y, so many people result to mods to boost their level/cash/etc. to gain access to the more "fun" content, but end up getting carried away with their new found powers.

The Problem with all of this is.... We are PC master race and a fairly small part of the GTA V community. We are also the easiest to mod online. The money is with Next gen, which up till now, is fairly mod free.... PS3 and 360 are dead to R*, so their continued ROI will be in the new gen space and to a lesser extent PC....
PC modding online will never go away unless the online model is changed and that will not happen..... At some point, I am sure, there will be a community backlash and the roll of crews become that more important with fully vetted members by the the crew management. Then crews who are clean will then play in crew sessions with other clean crews..... Free roam will then become a wasteland of the modders and the noobs.... like some sort of post apocalyptic mad max...

Wow, youve had a very different experience in GTA than most players i know, my experience of GTA generally consists of joining a session, getting set on fire in my garage, leaving the session and restarting game to get rid of the fire. Joining another session making it all the way to my hydra, getting thrown out of my hydra then blown up, leaving the session. Finding a session i think is a good one, no fire in the garage, no turbine outside my garage, nobody throws me out of my hydra so i find a bounty and kill it, bounty spits his dummy out, kills everyone on the session then crashes my game. Rinse and repeat times 10 untill i find a good session eventually or just leave again. Plus its impossible not to prod the bear since the very last thing i did before i left online a min ago was try to claim a bounty but he was in godmode, im mean hes asking to be prodded riding around with a bounty on him.
The main problem is the game is so good i think its worth the hours of hassle to be able to play for a few mins hassle free, unfortunately most of my friends dont think so, thats why they wont play.
Maybe they could figure out a way for us to play with the console players, then we will have tonnes of players and it would water down the hacker to session ratio, i dont think they would appreciate us dumping all our hackers onto their platform though.

In over 900hrs of playtime and I have been very lucky overall when it comes to modders. I have been set on fire, thrown out of vehicles, the turbine outside of eclipse towers (not seen that in a while) and having objects spawned on me. Will admit though watching another player as a christmas tree running is funny.
Modders have only been able to crash my game once so far thankfully, normally if I call a modder out or call him something I switch sessions just as they are about to continuously blow me up
I'm very lucky when it comes to finding a session to play in, I could join one and be in it for many hours without a single modder annoying me, or I might be annoyed within a few mins of joining. But joining a second session for me is usually fine.
It's extremly rare for me to have to continuously switch sessions. Only once have I switched to four different sessions within 10mins due to modders.
Modders will never stop me playing this game as I thoroughly enjoy it, no matter how many times I run those heists. I do enjoy playing with randoms as you never know what will happen, met some great people on there over the last few months that started of as randoms.
I have 144 friends added so far, but I know 2 are definitely modders, always handy to have around. One annoying modder took my weapons away, my friend gave them back
Haven't seen those two online in ages though, probably banned

I have every weapon and full ammo for all of them. One modder took all my ammo away and the next mission I played cost around 110k to buy all ammo. Annoying but another modder used me for cash spawn and I got about 1.4 mill for that so swings both ways.
