All I got was some generic agreement violation email from their support email address. That didn't even say what my punishment was, I had to log on and be told by gta online I was banned until that date.

The timing couldn't be better though, it'll be waiting for me when I'm back from my work trip.

Yea, poo poo is very vague, I'm sure so they don't tip their hand as to what to watch out for specifically. If you're sure that nothing was running (cheatengine, mods, recording video stuff) while in Online, then maybe you got some butthurt reports filed against or something lame like that

I don't believe the video recording stuff is delivering bans, by the way, that was super sketchily reported. Shadowplay, for example, is built into the nvidia software suite and they haven't banned 50% of their playerbase yet.

Online reports could be it but to be honest I figured panzram would be everyone's warning sign considering the crate-murder campaign they do :v:

Definitely check for overheating, as well. I went to bad RAM right away because the crashes occur with fairly inconsistent intervals between them.

Other things that might help:
    Keep your graphics drivers up to date with the latest stable releases.
    Upgrade your motherboard's BIOS to the latest version.
    Some GPUs don't play nice with PCI-E Link State Power Management enabled. This option is found in your computer's advanced power options. If you have a laptop, I'd recommend only changing the "Plugged In" value to OFF.

e: Also, if anything in your PC is overclocked, revert all overclocks to stock speeds and test game stability.

This is pretty much the only game I have these issues with which makes the cuase a little harder to figure out as some of these should affect other games. Also still need to find an extra thumb drive for memtest.

gta is held together by barely well wishes. It will crash over anything that may not wreck other games. A general hardware troubleshoot is all you really got.

GTA is a beast though. Other games load a single level's data and then just read that for awhile until you beat the level. GTA has your drive and RAM constantly thrashing data back and forth from disk to RAM to cache and back to RAM. Plus the game itself is just really huge and pretty.

The only thing I have found which reduces my crashes - note, not "stops" them - is running in DX10. Not DX10.1, not DX11. Straight up 10 only = great, anything else = :rip:

it also makes self radio work 100%, I got skipping and poo poo in dx11 mode but not 10. how does that work? who knows, it's probably placebo anyway

I just wish I could be told because I certainly don't do anything to deserve banning (lol if anyone believes me from just a post on a forum) and I'd like to maybe not do what got me banned this time!

Entoraugeudfuguge (not extraction, thanks Zig) is a game mode that could be cool but is ruined by Rockstar's weird idea that Winners and Losers or whatever the gametype of "overpowered, overequipped class versus no-health scrubs with AKs" was an idea worth revisiting

Did you play it again with better balanced teams? Because it sucked with unbalanced teams in favour of the well-equipped, I agree, but might work with an attacker advantage in numbers all wearing down the VIP's health and armor...


Also extraction owns, you meant entourage.

You're right, I mean Entourage.

also no I don't really have an interest in playing it again because even with teams balanced towards the under-equipped, it's still "die 15 times, get 1 kill, then switch teams and go 15-1"

that's just not compelling to me no matter how you slice it

Online reports could be it but to be honest I figured panzram would be everyone's warning sign considering the crate-murder campaign they do :v:

Once I 'splode the crate or cargo vehicle, I usually leave the lobby(After taking a tasteful selfie). If its a multi crate run by a solo CEO I'll usually fly up and drop a grenade on the remaining crates.

Not really to avoid getting reported but b/c attacking an org with a hydra is super obvious and dries up the hunting in that lobby almost immediately. Its an ambush game really; the best kills are when I drop into a lobby and the org has just started a sell mission. The smart orgs just leave the lobby as soon as they see the jet icon. You have to be in lobby for someone to use the report tool and you have to remember their name to file a support ticket (which will be dismissed with a blurb)

Anyway, they don't really disclose why they ban. Maybe a dev or rockstar employee lost a race or got killed by Zidge. The amount of cheating by staff in online games that are supported by their developers is worse than most people will ever realize if they aren't part of it. In a game like this that is only sorta half supported and mostly neglected, I imagine there is very little accountability.

I can't think of anything to put here.
Are you on a SSD? I had one that slowly went bad and random programs would stop working as new sectors(?) went bad. For example chrome worked fine at first, then started having weird slowdowns and crashes. After a while it would lock up the computer any time I did anything with it. I couldn't even delete it because when the uninstaller got to the corrupted data everything locked up. I ended up just installing firefox and used that instead. Everything else ran fine though and the hard drive lasted another year before more things stopped working and it finally died. Your description of everything else working ok reminds me a lot of what my hard drive was doing so I though I'd mention it.
