Those who have already been banned should change their IP and avoid switching from Story Mode to Online Mode.New glitch in GTA Online IP bans players who switch from Story ModeAbout the banTez2@TezFunz2Clarification: This is not an actual ban, but more of an IP ban.

He was unable to access some Rockstar websites on his home internet but was able to do so on mobile data. This proves that the issue is related to IP, as the switching may not have been the trigger if this was a server-side problem.𝔗𝔬𝔪@v_nexah@kirstycloud @GTAonlineNews @InfinityH1mself I had the same problem.

In the case of a usual ban, players get their accounts reset or their character data wiped. This current glitch does not do anything so drastic. Instead, it simply blocks the player's IP from connecting to GTA Online.How to avoid the ban𝔑𝔞𝔱𝔥𝔞𝔫@TheNathanNS@videotech_ fixed3:12 AM · Mar 25, 202226016@videotech_ fixed https://t.co/aP1YzO1dxNThe simplest way to avoid the ban is to not switch between the two game modes. Players who wish to play an Online session after being in Story Mode should restart the game to do so.The next-gen edition has introduced a redesigned front menu that makes it much easier for players to jump into action. As mentioned before, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S players should start up GTA Online directly from the main menu.
