Thanks for your reaction, that's valuable information. I really appreciate that you take time to answer this.
It's particular weird that your friend is still fine... *If* you used mods before the update, could it be possible that there's still a leftover in your GTA5 folder? E.g. a .ASI file or a dsound.dll that shouldn't be there...? It's so odd, I mean if R* did monitor your activities, why wouldn't they have banned your friend too... Can you think of something that's really different between you and him?
