While GTA V on PC does not use full BattleEye (reserved for GTA Online), Rockstar has backported a telemetry module that scans for dinput8.dll and version.dll—the two most common proxy libraries used for mod loading.

If the game detected a "Purchase" and "Sell" event within 300ms of a session merge, it would flag the transaction and revert the vehicle value to $0.

However, harmless car-meet mods (e.g., custom paint jobs visible only to the user) are now fully blocked. Many report that the game feels heavier on CPU usage due to the constant DRM telemetry.
