While “Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA6)” offers greater freedom in the game,
Incorrect settings or operations may increase the risk of malfunctions, data corruption, and bans.
In GTA5 and GTA Online, there were many cases where people got into trouble because they simply changed the settings, or enabled it without knowing.
In this article, we will summarize settings and operations that should not be performed in GTA6 based on examples from past games.
Why configuration/operation mistakes are dangerous in GTA6
The GTA series has the following features.
- Online and offline specifications are significantly different
- Some settings affect the entire game
- Very strict against external tools and modifications
Especially in GTA6,
Management and monitoring on an account-by-account basis is likely to be strengthened, so it is important to be aware that
setting errors can easily result in self-responsibility.
List of settings that should not be done in GTA6
Enable MOD-related settings while online
If the PC version is released, this is the most dangerous setting.
- Start with offline MOD enabled
- Connect online while keeping the MOD management tool resident
- I thought I changed the settings but they are not reflected
In GTA Online, there were
many instances where mods were unintentionally detected.
Even in GTA6,
mods must be completely disabled before connecting online.
Increase graphics/drawing distance to the limit
Although this setting seems safe at first glance, there are the following risks.
- Causes a crash
- Possibility of save data corruption
- Operation failure due to frame rate drop
Especially in the early stages of release, optimization tends to be insufficient,
High load settings tend to become unstable.
Configuration changes using unofficial tools
The following actions should be avoided.
- FOV change with external tools
- Applying unofficial patches
- Forced rewriting of ini file
In GTA5, there was also a report that
“It was intended to change settings, but it was treated as an external tool and was punished.”
Disable cloud saves
This is a setting that some players tend to make.
- Operation with local storage only
- Turn off cloud sync
This allows
- Unable to recover when data is lost
- Integrity error when detecting fraud
Problems like this may occur.
List of operations you should not do in GTA6
Intentionally repeating bug-like behavior
- Continuously performing the same action unnaturally
- Obviously unspecified movement/intrusion
- Leave the behavior where the reward continues to increase
In past games, there were cases in which
were punished at a later date based on behavior logs.
Continue receiving unnatural rewards
- Clearly high reward
- Abnormal progression in a short period of time
- Massive grants from other players
Even if you receive it, there is
risk of being judged as fraudulent involvement.
Abuse session switching
- Repeated intentional disconnection and reconnection
- Forced termination while loading
- Disconnection to avoid matching
In GTA Online, there are
examples where these were determined as glitch actions.
Placement and automatic operation
- Acts of getting paid by leaving things unattended
- Automation of operations using macros
- Pseudo operations such as controller fixation
In the GTA series,
Please note that automated operations can easily be treated as cheating.
Basic settings and operations for playing GTA6 safely
To play safely, please be aware of the following.
- Change settings only from the official menu
- Adjust high load settings in stages
- Do not use any modified elements online
- If any unnatural behavior occurs, stop immediately
- Check save status regularly
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Can you get banned just by changing the settings?
There is no problem if it is within the normal official settings, but there is a risk if external tools or modifications are involved.
If you have a high-spec PC, is it okay to use the highest settings?
There is a possibility that it will work, but considering stability and risk of failure, we recommend adjusting it in stages.
What to do after a crash?
It is safer to lower the settings and then restart instead of forcefully restarting the computer.
Summary: Carelessness in settings and operations is the most dangerous
- In GTA6, configuration and operation errors can also cause trouble
- External modification/unnatural behavior is especially dangerous
- Careful settings are important for beginners
- Safety first play is ultimately the most fun
GTA6 is likely to be an online game that is meant to be played for a long time.
Unnecessary troubles can be greatly reduced if the initial settings and operations are correct.
