Shortly after the immensely popular Grand Theft Auto 5 launched on PC in April, Rockstar told IGN that it would not tolerate mods that negatively affect the GTA Online experience."Our fans do some amazing things with our games," Rockstar told us last month, "but our priority is on making sure nothing detracts from the integrity of the GTA Online experience, and working to prevent anything that can potentially have a negative impact on the overall community."Players now are saying that they're getting banned from GTA Online even if the mods they're using are kept to the offline single-player mode.We've reached out to Rockstar to confirm these claims, and for any clarification regarding official modding policies for Grand Theft Auto 5.For now, it's important to exercise caution when installing and using mods in any game.Even if you don't activate any of the several GTA 5 mods while playing its multiplayer mode, it's possible that simply having one installed while accessing GTA Online counts.We'd recommend disabling mods completely before attempting to play GTA Online, at least until we have more information.
