GTA 5 Online PC: confusion as Rockstar begins banning mods
The GTA 5 PC sub-Reddit is filled with posts about users getting banned, with confusion over whether cosmetic mods are just as bannable as those that give the player an unfair advantage.
One user posted an image saying he was banned from GTA Online for using an FOV mod. The thread is filled with conflicting reports from users who continue to play using mods.
Another thread shows a screengrab of a reply from Rockstar support sent in response to a player asking if FOV mods will result in a ban.
Here’s what he had to say:
Cosmetic mods here could simply refer to visual changes like colour or environment effects. An FOV mod, while cosmetic in nature, is probably achieved by injecting the game’s memory the same way a trainer would. Using a trainer – in any online game – is obviously not allowed. And this is where the water gets even muddier.
A large part of this confusion is due to Rockstar’s reluctance to reveal a list of bannable offences to the community, which is somewhat understandable given the nature of PC mods and the different means they utilise to achieve their results.

OpethPisarczykowskiMickersRoyaI What's the point of having GTA for PC, if Rockstar are going to ban all the mods?
Play it like consoles play it! PC Users shouldn't be any different.
PC users, are and will always be higher than all the console peasants for a reason that we have unlimited freedom where are you peasants can't really do much.
Man you are posting this on the wrong site... If you haven't noticed most people on here are xbox gamers. No need to be a dick just because you think your machine plays games a tiny bit better.
It plays a huge bit better. GTA on consoles is 900p or so. On pc you can run it at up to 4k resolution up to 244 fps with the right tech. I run it 1920x1080 max settings 60fps. It's beautiful.

As long as people aren't ruining the multiplayer of GTAV on PC, which an FOV mod will not do, they should not be banned.

To name just a few benefits of playing on PC: Superior draw distance, higher resolution textures, 60fps, Rockstar Editor
Not trying to be that 'guy', but are those things really necessary? lol

This is just plain idiotic from R*. They really need to unban people that were using cosmetic mods.

Zeitgeist PC gamers acting like they are entitled to mod games just because they own a PC. Just because you own a PC doesnt make you a games developer
Game Developer*
I don't recall anywhere or anyone who's said they develop games because they own one.
