Article update:

Update #1 - 14:31 UTC: Rockstar have now put up an official FAQ for BattlEye where they state:

Is BattlEye compatible with Steam Deck?

Steam Deck does not support BattlEye for GTA Online. You will be able to play GTAV Story Mode but unable to play GTA Online.

Note: GTAV and GTA Online are not officially supported on Steam Deck and all technical support questions should be directed to Valve’s Steam Deck support content and community.

I'm still currently waiting for an official statement from Rockstar on any plans to enable it, since BattlEye as mentioned below is supported on Linux / Steam Deck.

If you can't play online might as well pirate it

BattleEye can't stop scripting mod hacks in any other game I've ever played using it and that's the number one kind of cheat used in GTA V. 🤦‍♂️

I'm glad I never played GTA V for the multiplayer. The load times were enough to make me lose interest.

That was apparently a JSON handling bug.

I'm not afraid to admit that I played the game a lot and that shit cost me weeks of my life. I'd usually watch MSNBC videos on the second screen while the other one was showing the clouds above LS.

I did like the racing in the game but the load time was too unbearable. I think I only logged like three hours into GTA online before I dropped it completely.

Well I wasn't planning on playing GTA 5 but now I guess it'll have to be pirated GTA 5 only so I can play a pre-anticheat version. It sucks that GTA is a game where all the mod developers try hard to make their stuff not work on pirated versions. Guess I'll be avoiding that entire toxic community as a whole. Cyberpunk a better game anyway.

I wonder if online play will actually be tolerable now.

So I wonder what my copy from rockstar will do now, it worked like a week ago under wine(single player). I bought it before it was available on steam unfortunately.

That said gta online was never good so idgaf about that part but Battle eye isnt going to do shit so sucks for those that do care.
