Issue 1: GTA 5 Social Club Launcher Issues

Some players are reporting issues with the GTA 5 launcher failing to initialize. Rockstar has recomended to players to uninstall the launcher and reinstall it. Just the launcher and not Grand Theft Auto 5 itself. Make sure that the following.exe files are not running in your task manager:

GTA5.exe
PlayGTAV.exe
GTAVLauncher.exe

Run the launcher as an administrator and you should be good to start playing GTA 5 soon!

Issue 2: “the Rockstar update service is unavailable (code 1)”

GTA 5 went live about twenty minutes ago, but already an unexpected problem has emerged. Some users are seeing the message “the Rockstar update service is unavailable (code 1)” when trying to install the game, or else the launcher is crashing to desktop. Rockstar Support has already released a workaround for the issue, which is caused by Windows usernames with unconventional characters.

Basically, if the Windows username you’re using features any characters not included in this handy list, then you’ll need to sign in with another user account, or else create a new one. It’s only a temporary solution – Rockstar is working on a fix as we speak – but if you can’t wait to get started, it’s good enough.

Simply changing your Windows username won’t work, Rockstar reports, and if you do choose to use a different account in the meantime, you’re advised to restart your PC before continuing.

If you are in the game already, why not share your benchmarks and screenshots?

Update: Chris is reviewing GTA for us, and has had problems launching the game that are unrelated to the above Windows username error. Specifically, Steam displayed an ‘Installing’ window for a few seconds and then closed, after which the game wouldn’t load. Fortunately, he’s found a possible fix.

Open GTA 5’s install directory, found by right-clicking the game in the Steam library, going to ‘Properties’, and clicking ‘Browse Local Files’ in the Local Files tab. From there, go into the ‘Installers’ folder and manually install the Rockstar Social Club through the installers found in that directory.

From there, it should load normally—although we think some of the problems are due to a Rockstar Social Club connection issue.

Issue 3: Failed Zlib Call Error

This is an error that seems to be haunting some GTA 5 fans, and can be a devastating one. This error happens after you’ve installed the game and successfully launched Grand Theft Auto 5. For some players this has popped up right away, though some Steam users have reported it happening after playing for a few minutes. The error suggests rebooting your PC or reinstalling the game all together. Rockstar’s support page for GTA 5 on PC states that rebooting the PC will likely not make a difference in correcting the error. Steam users can verify the game cache, but those who bought from Rockstar will be forced to redownload the full 60GB game. As of now there is no other fix for this issue.

If you’ve been lucky to play GTA 5 with no issues, enjoy it. For the rest of us, hopefully Rockstar fixes these issues quickly, otherwise GTA 5 can be chalked up to another failed game launch in a recent history all too full of them.

Issue 4: Guide to Solve Windows Media Player Error during Installation

Another issue affecting GTA 5 PC installation is the Windows Media Player error. Some players have been getting, “Unable to detect Windows Media Player on your System. Please Install Windows Media Player, then retry the installation,” error statement.

So Rockstar has given a guide on how to deal with the issue by installing the Windows Media Player and completing the game installation on its Support Page:

1. Open the Control Panel
2. Click “Programs”
3. Click “Turn Windows Features On or Off”
4. In the resulting popup, make sure “Windows Media Player” is checked under the “Media Features” folder:

Windows Media Players IssueRockstar Support

5. Click “OK” and wait for Windows Media Player to install

Issue 5: Guide to Prevent Vehicle Loss during Migration (of GTA Online Character) from PS3 or Xbox 360 to PC

Since many GTA 5 players faced an issue where vehicle data was lost when they migrated from PS3 or Xbox 360 to PC for players who have not played the GTA Online since December 2013, Rockstar has now suggested a wait to ensure such prevention of the data loss on its Support Page:

Enter GTA Online on your PS3 or Xbox 360. If you have not played in a long time, you will be prompted to accept a Title Update.
Pause the game
Scroll to the “ONLINE” tab
Select the “Leave GTA Online” option
The game will not save on the latest Title Update, and your vehicles will now transfer properly to PC.

Players will get an orange spinning icon at the bottom right of the screen as they transition back into Story Mode. This will indicate that your character is saving. So once this icon disappears, and players are in Story Mode, they can Shut Off the console. Now they can begin the transfer of their character to their PC.

Players can submit a request if they have already transferred their characters to PC and have lost all the vehicles.

Issue 6: Manual Download Links for GTAV PC – Social Club, DirectX and Visual C++

Manual Download Links for GTAV PC – Social Club, DirectX and Visual C++

For players who want to update their PC with the latest of the componebnts for GTA 5, Rockstar has provided the links below:

Social Club Application (Manual Download for GTAV, Max Payne 3, and LA Noire)
https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/articles/200146066
Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1
http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=5582
DirectX
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=35

Download Links for Video Card Drivers

Rockstar has provided the links to download the up-to-date video card drivers for the GTA 5 PC version.

Rockstar has recommended players to keep their “video card drivers up to date with the latest version.”

NVIDIA version 350.12 – Download here
AMD version 15.4 Beta – Download here

Once players are at the page for the video card manufacturer, they can fill out the form and download the appropriate driver for their card.

Guide to Solve Errors in the Social Club Launcher for GTA 5 PC

Reports have suggested that some players who were trying to run GTA 5 on PC were getting the following errors:

“Social Club failed to initialize.”
“Social Club failed to load due to an incomplete installation. Please exit the game and re-install the latest version of the Social Club.”
“A newer version of Social Club is required. The updater may have failed. Please exit the game and install the latest version of the Social Club.”

So for players who have been facing the above issues, Rockstar has given a guide to resolve it on their Support Page:

One of the main reasons that causes these errors is the incorrect installation of Social Club, so players who get these are recommended uninstalling Social Club and then reinstalling it manually from this page.

So when they are trying to install it the second time, they have to be see that they check up on the following things:

First, be sure GTAV is not running in the background. Open the Task Manager and end the following processes if they are running (right click the process and click “End Process”):
GTA5.exe
PlayGTAV.exe
GTAVLauncher.exe
Ensure you have administrator rights on your computer. Run the Social Club Installation application as an administrator by right clicking the application and choosing “Run as Administrator.”

But even after following the above guidelines, if they experience same issues then they have to do some additional troubleshooting. Here are the guidelines for it:

Verify the Steam Cache (Steam version only):

Load Steam.
From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache… button.
Steam will verify the game’s files – this process may take several minutes.

Run GTAV as an Administrator
Go to the install directory for GTAV PC
Right click “PlayGTAV.exe”
Click “Run as Administrator”

Verify that you have the latest version of DirectX and Visual C++. The latest versions can be downloaded from here.
If you are stuck loading, auto-signin may have failed. Press the Home key and see if you can log in manually.
Temporarily disable antivirus/security, then uninstall if disabling does not work as a test. Be sure to reinstall and re-enable your antivirus after the test.
Make sure that Social Club is installed to the correct directory (by default, this is: Program FilesRockstar GamesSocial Club)

Fix for Error Message Saying GTA 5 is Still Encrypted

A Reddit user, sean8102 has revealed that a fix for players who received an error message saying GTA 5 is still encrypted.

Below is the fix the user has suggested:

Restart steam. Or try to launch GTA 5 few times. Players must note that they need 120GB free on the drive to install GTA 5. But it will take only 60GB once the game is installed.

After re-launching steam the GTA 5 said “preallocating” taking about 3-5 minutes to finish.
Then it went to “Unpacking”, and “Busy writing to disk”. This part took the longest since it’s about 60GB! This is the actual decryption part, it takes about 20 minutes for me.
When you launch the game, you may have to hit Shift+Tab to see the activate button on the social club window. Also Alt+Enter if the game isn’t in full screen at launch.
