The spectator exploit and game invites
Currently some exploiters are going rogue and kicking people remotely. The way it works is by sending some request through rockstar's presence servers which causes the client to freak out and quit the current session.

This is a fix for it, but you may not be able to join lobbies with a lot of players in it. You will get matched with lobbies where there are only a few players in it, or in a public lobby with only you in it. You also cannot play with your friends, however you can do jobs yourself, like the terrorbyte jobs and resupply your businesses. You can remove this fix after rockstar fixes their servers, since this is not a permanent change.

The way to fix this for now is by blocking port range 61455-61458 (UDP, outbound), which IIRC should refuse any connection to the presence servers and stop that from happening. Of course this will break some features in social club like invites, along with the ability to invite people from other sessions into yours (since that requires communication with the presence servers).

Imagine if modders out there in online they figured out how to use this exploit and put it in their mod menus where they send you an invite and somehow 'auto-accepts' it forcing you to join their lobbies, even if you don't want to, and they just destroy your way of life by obtaining your IP address and than DDoSing you over and over, or worse? A lot more people would stop playing this broken game.

[ec00ff]Lt_Krunkie, Social Club is a broken mess. Rockstar has either very little security, or none at all. Blocking all communications like in this case random invites doesn't do jack diddly. Rockstar is (probably) aware of this, but just don't care. Sad excuse of a multi-billion dollar video game company.

Thank you so much my guy. This ballstorture guy, and some random twitch user on social club, keep sending me invites non-stop. Screw those morons for trying to get me to click on their invites. I do not accept invites from random strangers just so you know. This was getting really old and annoying fast.

or you know you can just disable notifications in your social club settings

Turns out, this is also really good for grinding. Go figure.
