While the developers didn't share any timeline, one can assume it will be released soon.If players still want to play the game on PC while Rockstar is trying to fix their security, Tez2 suggests they strictly use a firewall throughout the session.According to Speyedr, the Guardian software from Gitlab still works and protects against these new exploits. However, they also warned about the severity of the situation, as the incorrect installation of the software could result in an attack by hackers.Speyedr@Speyedr_AUJust to reassure everyone--Guardian still works, and this new exploit doesn't somehow bypass Guardian.HOWEVER, the chance of any user (especially beginners) setting up Guardian incorrectly in a way that doesn't protect them is too high for such a dangerous exploit.44032Just to reassure everyone--Guardian still works, and this new exploit doesn't somehow bypass Guardian.HOWEVER, the chance of any user (especially beginners) setting up Guardian incorrectly in a way that doesn't protect them is too high for such a dangerous exploit.Rockstar Games also seems to be planning to strengthen the security of other titles to avoid this kind of situation in the future.
