Due to it's code being cracked, it cannot connect to the main server that GTA Online is being run on, nor can it connect to Social Club's servers. This is why games like Elite: Dangerous or World of Warcraft can't be 'cracked', at least without the source code. Multiplayer games will not work without connections to a server, sometimes a specific server.

However, as good as cracks are, they come with a price. This is done for various reasons, from simply playing a game you haven't paid for, to installing mods that would otherwise cause problems with the game's protection code, to simply marketing the game off in a 'bootleg' sale.

Well, given you are on r/PiratedGTA, and have a pirated copy, I feel it's only best to explain something about piracy, or more specifically, cracks.Ĭracks, or NoCD patches, are made with the intent of bypassing copyright protection on games.
