[NEWS] NEW Patch to be released March 14.

[SHODAN]

So, for those who have not heard. March 14th marks the release of the Cunning Stunts Special Vehicle Circuits (Cunning Stunts, Part II basically). This means a lot of cool new content, but it is also VERY likely that there will be some improvements to the RAGE engine Anti-Cheat as well, this may include the blacklisting of the dinput8 sudo mod, so be careful!

TL:DR: AVOID MENUS OR MODDING WHILE ONLINE, AFTER MARCH 13TH, UNTIL IT IS PROVEN SAFE OR A NEW METHOD IS FOUND!

Would not surprise me if they did, as you have suggested. However, none of the accounts I have done recoveries on in the last few days have been banned. Perhaps it may have just been manual reviews from Rockstar staff, bad luck, caught in the act by a GM in the session, or the use of a feature that was not safe.

They've actually been banning transferred accounts quite a while now, mostly by manual review. As it stands, stealth money has not been patched, but that could change with 1.38. I'm referring mainly to PC modding.

In my experience, I've been doing my best to sniff network packets and dump debug info to see what the game is up to, and so far I haven't seen any vast changes in the AC that would suggest they are focusing on anything in particular.

The recent PS3 update (and subsequent X1/PS4/PC DLC) had more to do with detection of modded transfers than anything else, likely due to their January 31st announcement that transfers would be ending. There's a few new flags, in all versions of the game, that are set for transfers now, that flag for manual review by staff. This is likely what's leading to the influx of bans.

Secondly, had they done a proper update of AC, it's likely we'd be seeing more bans in regards to the sudo menu base, and not just transfers.

They already did a massive ban wave with the departure of the character transfer system.

Guess R* used it to their advantage by banning all the accounts that transferred with suspicion

What about Mike's GTA H4x External menu? Sorry, new to the modding scene.

As I said it's quite possible they'll patch out the sudo mod method (which pretty much any *internal* menu is using), as far as external menu's, they too are getting more and more risky.

Well, here's an update, my account got banned yet again -.- Thought i'd be safe this time....

Sadly this update seems rushed and incomplete, it could have been amazing but it seems mediocre so far.
