The program will check for GTA5.exe there, so make sure you select the correct one. If you have just installed your GTA V and the folder is clean, or you want to save your actual folder status, then get ready to generate your own database.įirst, select your GTAV root folder. Step 1: Get your original database generated Important note: You may need to run the program as Administrator, as permissions will be required to Delete Files on the GTA V folder So I got tired, open up Visual Studio 2017 and developed my own application to check what changes has been made to the folder and delete the files I need. the only problems seem to be the bugs which will have to get fixed soon in order to make this game work for everybody.I was having a lot of problems with GTA V after updates, because the mods get corrupted and, as I cannot find what files were new to the game at what files were old, I had to reinstall the game, with downloading 60GB which could be a nightmare if Rockstar Servers are not in place. I think that the MAX PAYNE 3 Team did a great job optimizeing the game play. and honestly I was getting mighty grumpy. I hope that this helps you all, I went to bed at 4:30AM trying to figure out how to get my game to work. just be carefull about the 'windowed' setting, it seemed to crash my game and in order for me to play it again, I had to go into that settings file that I mentioned above and set windowed '1' to windowed '0'. When you finally get into the opening scene in the bank robbery, you can pause the game, go to settings, and tweek the graphics to your likeing. You might want to also run the GTA5.exe and GTAVLauncher.exe files in compatibility set for Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and both as Administrator, I found those things helped as well. Then you should get past the logo intro (which was still buggy for me) and into the loading story/logging into Social Club screens. It worked for me, but only after exiting Steam, shutting off the computer and restarting everything up again.

Once you get the desktop up and running again, log back online into Steam, and start up/play GTA V. NEXT.EXIT STEAM ,SHUT OFF YOUR COMPUTER, AND THEN REBOOT IT.

There you have to read all the way down to where you see What you have to do is go into your Rockstar Games folder in Documents, Go into the GTA V folder, and open the Settings file. basically he wrote that there was a bug in the game's DXversion and it would glitch people out of the game's intro screen (the one with the police stars/flashing lights/sirens and R* logo) and crash it back to desktop. I was shown by some other steam player how to do it.

I had a very difficult time setting up and playing GTA V.
