Reasons for Diamond Casino Heist not working in GTA Online

According to Rockstar Support's post on X, the main reason for The Diamond Casino Heist not working in GTA Online right now (June 14, 2024) is that the developers have found a vulnerability. As a precautionary measure, Rockstar has disabled the intro to the Casino Heist and the ability to purchase an Arcade.

Although Rockstar Support claims the change is only on PC, it's reportedly affecting console users as well. Thankfully, the change is temporary, and the studio is working on fixing the issue as soon as possible.

Rockstar hasn't clarified the vulnerability, but it seems serious if they blocked the Casino Heist from starting. PC players have been quite annoyed by it and are complaining in the post's comments. Their grievances include the fact that for many players, Grand Theft Auto Online is still quite unplayable on public sessions due to hackers

It's a known fact that hackers are much more common on the PC version of Grand Theft Auto Online than on consoles. Players can abuse mod menus and get by without getting banned, with some hackers even finding out the IP of other players and crashing their games.

Nevertheless, if you were planning on starting the Casino Heist or buying an Arcade property in Grand Theft Auto Online right now, you'll have to wait a while longer.
