One can't help but remember recent comments from take Two about how it could squeeze even more money out of GTA Online, hey. These people don't funnel any money into Take Two via GTA Online's microtransactions though. What makes all this very sad is that we don't believe wiping out OpenIV will bring about any noticeable quality of life improvements for GTA Online players on PC - but it will hugely impact the machinima and modding communities who very much keep GTA in our hearts and minds with their amazing creations. That's not to say malicious players couldn't leverage the tools provided in ways not intended by OpenIv's creator, of course.Įven so, with or without OpenIV GTA Online on PC is and always has been an absolute cesspool of cheaters and hackers, and Rockstar has never seemed inclined to do anything about it in the past. This is all kind of amazing because the OpenIV has been specifically designed for use only with the single-player portion of GTA 5, and not GTA Online, the multiplayer side of things. "We are working to figure out how we can continue to support the creative community without negatively impacting our players." Unfortunately OpenIV enables recent malicious mods that allow harassment of players and interfere with the GTA Online experience for everybody," Rockstar said. "Take-Two's actions were not specifically targeting single player mods. Now, in a statement provided to PC Gamer, Rockstar has commented on the situation. The news came as a surprise to GTA 5 mod fans, as GTA developer Rockstar has itself promoted OpenIV mods in the past. Since the suite underpins an enormous number of popular single-player mods, the end of its development is a real blow. 3.) Load the game up again in Singleplayer. it crash 2.) Go back into your directory folder. The GTA 5 modding community has been seriously bummed out by word that Take Two sent a cease and desist letter to OpenIV creator GooD-NTS. i need openiv.asi in my game directory but it causes my game to crash 1.) Load up GTA V Singleplayer normally. Apparently that's somehow OpenIV's fault. I guess there really is no such thing as bad press.GTA Online is full of cheaters on PC, and always has been. The game even made it to Number 1 in UK sales charts.

What’s interesting about this whole situation is that GTA V sales have skyrocketed in the meantime. Apparently, the fans have won, at least, for now.

OpenIV seems to be back, and it even got a new minor update, fixing some bugs and other small stuff. After discussions with Take-Two, Take-Two has agreed that it generally will not take legal action against third-party projects involving Rockstar’s PC games that are single-player, non-commercial, and respect the intellectual property (IP) rights of third parties.Īpparently, it worked. Here’s a snippet from the post: Rockstar Games believes in reasonable fan creativity, and, in particular, wants creators to showcase their passion for our games. They posted about it on the Rockstar official website, explaining the new agreement. Responding to the controversy, it seems that Rockstar Games entered discussions with Take-Two and managed to make them change their minds.
