Rockstar Games has just put out a new update for GTA Online, only a few days after the last one. This update added a new anti-cheat system called BattlEye. While it has stopped many cheating tools in the game, it also removed support for Steam Deck and Linux, among other issues.

First noticed by Gtamen on Twitter, this new patch is a minor update aimed at fixing problems in the PC version of GTA Online. Below, you can find the download sizes for different PC versions along with the patch notes.

  • General updates to how BattlEye works with the game
  • Overall security improvements
  • Updates to the network system
  • Fixed a vulnerability that let players access GTA Online without BattlEye
  • Fixed a vulnerability that impacted players’ experience

“This patch introduced anti-cheat improvements such as updating the logic for determining the session host, prevents cheaters from taking over the host slot easily, and improved the untrusted host kick measure,” said Tez2.

These issues appeared when BattlEye was added earlier this month.
