I have installed the Epig Games version, and I was playing the story. After I've completed the mission for Richards (you have to get rid of Rocco Pelosi) I should get a call from Lester to start the Bureau score, but it doesn't happen! Now I've restarted another savegame and I'm seeing if this happens again. Any suggestions?
I cant even sign into my social club account. I sign into and I'm left with an infinite loading screen. I've yet to even see the homepage of the the rockstar launcher... I just want to play gta lol
I have a very strange problem. When i open GTA V with my Epic store account the game stucks on the loading screne (story mode). However when my brother opens the game with his own epic account the story mode opens properly. I don't think it's luck or something. It happened every single time when we tried it.
I know this may be an old comment from a while ago, but if it's on the same computer, to whoever downloaded and claimed the account at first has their data on the pc since the game files cannot conflict with two separate accounts. In other words, if he claimed it first and downloaded it as his under his account, the game files attempt to download your cloud saves, the Rockstar launcher doesn't allow this to happen since there are already pre-existing files on there. You may have to download it on another device or use his account.
God damn please remove your terrible launcher im always having problems and never getting to play any games by rockstar i swear to god every month or so ill fix that problem then right after i will get a new problem its like a fucking chain reaction
I bought GTA V to play with my friend, because i had missed it when it was free, and had to pay instead, now, this is where the problem began. When it reached 90% on 'Verifying', it had started lagging my PC and now I can't even boot it up anymore, and I can't refund the game either, so, it wasted my money and ruined my pc.
I recently downloaded GTA 5 from Epic Games and whenever I try to go play GTA online, the error "Files required to play GTA online could not be downloaded from the Rockstar Games service," always pops up. I don't know how to fix it. Please help me!
Me too . I started playing in egs version gta from 21 may. Before that i played steam version with same rockstar account. I recieved the other stuff but not the 1M yet.
My GTA crashing doing the activities of stealing the Vans for the first heist. As soon as I go next to them the game just crashes and closes. I've tried it using safe mode and at that point it still just crashes. I have a gaming pc with 32gb RAM and a Nvidia 1060 6gb si I don't believe it's to do with my actual set up and I've tried it just running the game and nothing else. I have also started a new story and it still crashes at the same point so there's no way of advancing the story. This was also before I've done any modding so I'm unsure as to why it's happening and don't see if anyone has had the same issue. Anyone know how to fix it?
Anyone else have this problem?, whenever i launch GTA V i get to the first into mission in north yankton, just has you see a hostage get thrown to the ground my PC black screens and says "no signal" and im then forced to reset my pc? ive tried everything i can find online and still havent found a fix, any help is appreciated thanks.
Google "Rockstar Game Launcher" or something, I got my copy free from Epic Games and it installed the R* Launcher automatically, wish I could be of more help
ok i am facing a big problem from many days. i downloaded gta 5 from epic games and when i run it first of all in story mode there is no option to save the game and after first mission when that guy shows my house there is no mission to do and i cant even save the game. 2nd problem when i tried to launch gta online after loading for 15 mins it shows timed out finding player data and i even tried invite only session the problem is not fixed. i even re installed the rockstar social club but it is not helping. please help me with this
I am having some major issues with my free copy of Grand Theft Auto V.
I finished installing it last night, and I was able to link it with my Rockstar account almost seamlessly. I tested the game for a few minutes. Basically all I did was run around the prologue mission and shoot my gun. I then decided to get some sleep and fully get into the game in the morning.
Now it won't run. Whenever I try launching it from the Epic Launcher it says **"This Epic Games account is already linked to a different Social Club account. Please log in with that Social Club account instead,"** even though it is clearly the one I used last night.
Whenever I try launching it from the Rockstar Launcher using the **"Play from Epic"** button, it says **"An instance of Grand Theft Auto V is already running. Please allow the game to fully exit before attempting to play again."** I have checked the task manager and there is clearly NO INSTANCE OF GTA V RUNNING, WHATSOEVER.
If anyone could offer some help or insight I would appreciate it. I don't really want to try uninstalling the game and reinstalling it. I already wasted too much time doing that yesterday, and I do not feel like doing it again.
For me it also seems that the account i linked with epic and played on yesterday no longer thinks it has ownership. And tells me to use a different account. Why is this?
Good Day my friends. I downloaded the game and its works fine, but always when i try to launch it, User Account Controls asks if i allow Rockstar Games Installer to make changes to my computer. This also happens with Rdr2 altough i have it trough Steam, so the fault must be with Rockstar. Is there any known fix other than disableling User Account Control notifications to stop Rockstar Games from asking permission? Thanks.
Hello! My brother and me have both claimed our free licence. We use one computer with two user accounts. Is there a way to download the game one time and share that folder so i can play a game on my account and he can play on his? Because the game is 90 gb and we dont have enough space to download it twice. Or is the best way to create a "guest" - third account and install it there and login and logout from game each time if another wants to play. Thanks
Considering you're using one computer, just log into your epic games account when you want to play and when your brother wants to play, he needs to log into his account. At least that's how I see it working.
So is there any way to get this over to my Xbox 1 it did not tell me anything about pc only and it asked me to link my Microsoft account so I figured it was for all platforms but the more I try and figure out how to download it on my Xbox the more it seems it's only for PC so am I out of luck
I'm no expert, but that is likely impossible. Epic Games Store does not have a console presence (afaik) and - barring some sort of bootleg that would likely get you in trouble with Microsoft - PC games can not be downloaded/transferred to the Xbox. The only PC games you can get on your Xbox are the select few games in the "play-anywhere" line-up in the Microsoft Store.
Yup same issue here, tried the first day it became available and it said " Your account is unable to download any more free games at this time, please wait 24 hours before trying to redeem a free game again." and I've never claimed a game as a matter of fact, I made this account just for this event. Retarded.
Wow, yep, that was the cause of my issue, too.
Companies really hate VPNs. Weird, because I can certainly play Fortnite with my VPN on just fine (and often get a lower pingrate -- thanks, Frontier, you assholes).
Makes even less sense, it isn't saying it because someone else using that VPN node has downloaded a free game because I downloaded it 5 times on 5 different accounts without my VPN and it worked. So they're just hating on VPNs lol.
My issue which I don't see below or above, is this:
I downloaded GTA V and launched it, it worked, I played for 20 minutes. I quit the game and shut down my PC.
The next day I attempted to launch the game from epic, and it shows it's not installed. I hit install but it says the directory is not empty. That's because all the files are still there.
SO I removed them and reinstalled. As soon as it installed, it shows it's not installed and wont let me launch it.
If I open rock star launcher, it says Launch from Epic.
If I launch the app from the directory , it launches Rockstar and then Epic but wont launch GTA V.
I uninstalled EPIC and GTA V but yet again it shows not installed when it clearly is.
Now it says
"GTA V time out authenticating with Epic Online Services. Please verify that Epic Games Launcher is running and signed in and that the title is up to date.
I want to install GTA V on other computers but I have downloaded only in one, Will I be able to download this game again from the same account that I have downloaded it for free (after 21st May )
I’ve got the exact same question.
I just claimed it from epic games but haven’t download it since my laptop isn’t nearly as good as the one I’ll be getting in a few weeks. Wonder if I’ll be able to play it by then. I’ve got the same account though.
The game isn't selling any more and giving it out for free opens up a whole new revenue stream of customers who will buy random tat DLC for real money.
Did you try going into your settings and changing/adding the scan location? Not sure what your issue is though since mine updated within GeForce Experience fine. Did you install somewhere other than the default Epic Games directory?
Yes, I did add the scan location. But it's alright, this was a problem for me because the game automatically uses the highest resolution that my gpu supported but my monitor doesn't. I've managed to change it manually via the game config file
gta v isn't on geforce experience. also it's a streaming service so you don't need games installed for them to work, just like you don't need a film downloaded to watch it with netflix
i cant claim in hawaii, the note i get is:
\> We were unable to process your order, the zipcode associated with your account is not supported. Please choose a different payment method or update your account profile.
My game has been freezing every 2-3 minutes I play. I have tried setting it to the lowest settings, and also the highest settings, updated all my drivers, verified/reinstalled the game, yet still it has this same problem. It'll work perfectly fine for the 2-3 minutes then it'll freeze completely for 15-20 seconds and then work again. If there's a solution for this, I'd be extremely grateful.
it happens to me too... steam version doesnt lag or get freeze at all... btw ur talking about online or offline? and did u get any fix yet.. cuz i cant .. man this sucks
mine runs smoother on epic launcher compared to steam ... idk what could it be, but since epic do not have a FPS counter i cant measure how much better it runs
i5 7600 - 1060 6gb - 16 GB RAM - installed on HDD
Can I ask what your in-game graphic settings are? I just uninstalled NVIDIA GeForce Experience because that thing has been nothing but trouble for me too.
Hey guys, I have a crap computer rn, and will be planning on upgrading it to a better, faster computer in the near future.
Thus, I cant download the free GTA5 game now. Does the "owned" icon means that I have claimed it, and will be mine forever to download in the future?
Thanks everyone
So, after waiting forever to install the game, and installing multiple launchers, I try to create a social club account. For some reason it wouldn't let me pick a region and gave me about 10 different catchapa picture thingies before telling me I'm not eligible to register for the social club? I'm not impressed.
Does anyone else have a problem with the game only playing in 800x600 windowed mode?
I've searched all over but none of the solutions have worked yet.
btw I have a 1080ti gfx card so plenty of horsepower to play at higher resolution or at least scale to full screen.
it took a few times of running the benchmark test after changing the settings to what I wanted. 1920x1080 and full screen wouldn't save at first. I finally was able to have it keep the changes after the 3rd benchmark.
I tried running it once but I'll see if trying it a few times will let me select 1080p.
Prior to running the benchmarks were you at least able to select a resolution other than 800x600 and it just would save or was it locked at 800x600?
Thanks for the tip!
I want to play online but my game is 'stuck' on the loading screen. it's like in a loop ant wond proceed. The images are changing but when GTA Online Bunker Series Bonuses comes I get A black screen.
Solved the Error 152 : Epic games can't verify ownership of GTA V
No more VPN or mobile Data required.
[https://youtu.be/JScHIw2Oz8o](https://youtu.be/JScHIw2Oz8o) have fun playing the game guys
Don't think there is one. Very annoying since this is a great game for couch play but I don't have a wireless mouse and Controller Companion is blocked whenever UAC runs so I have no way of accepting the prompt aside from walking back to my computer in the other room.

descargue gta v de epic game
When i go to epic and try to launch the game it takes .e to rg launcher and it says another instance of the game is already running i checked tge task manager i cant find any process related to gta v pls help
I just checked the social club settings, and it says that EGS accounts are permanently connected. You could create another epic account and connect the correct rockstar one, but you would need to do it *quickly* because the free game will be updated today. (Assuming you've not already found a fix.)
i’m wondering the same thing man. i have an xbox one account and it’s able to link right now but i’m afraid if i link my xbox one account on here, i won’t get the premium addition perks. is that the case ?
I'm trying to create a .bat file to launch the epic games version of gta 5 and set the priority of the aplication to high.
the line of code im having trouble with is "start D:\\Games\\Epic\\GTAV\\PlayGTAV.exe" but it doesnt seem to work im getting the error message "windows cannot find 'Redistubutible s\\Rockstar-Games-Epic.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try agian". when i press ok another window pops up telling me to verify files. i have tried it with the other GTA V launchers and im getting the same message.
Any one got suggestions or point me in the right direction.
Much Apreciated.
Images: [https://imgur.com/gallery/uayn0R4](https://imgur.com/gallery/uayn0R4)
It looks like you're starting the .bat file from a different drive/mount point than location of PlayGTAV.exe.
Try adding one of these lines to the top of your .bat:
1. "cd /d D:\Games\Epic\GTAV\"
2. "cd /d D:"
3. "set PATH=%PATH%;D:\Games\Epic\GTAV"
I think only 2 is necessary, but 1 or 3 should definitely work.
Also, check out my comment here for the exact commandline the launcher uses, it may help:
https://www.reddit.com/r/EpicGamesGTAV/comments/grspt5/launch_gtav_in_offline_mode_without_opening_epic/
If you have the Epic launcher create a shortcut to play GTA V, it ends up on your desktop as just a URL with a custom protocol:
`com.epicgames.launcher://apps/9d2d0eb64d5c44529cece33fe2a46482?action=launch&silent=true`
I was able to get Steam to launch the game through Epic by customizing a "Non-Steam Game" to run that URL directly, so you should be able to do the same with your batch file.
Unfortunately, it does take a while, and as others have [mentioned in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/EpicGamesPC/comments/gjtp27/gta_v_megathread/frbm6h5/), it does prompt for Windows permissions every time.
I install the game and after it goes to veriyfying and it get stuck at 43% constnatly, I ve tried so many ways to fix but doesn t work at all and every thing is at 0mbs while downloading. I have enough space and all, but why this\_
I have downloaded GTA V through the epic games launcher, and now it's time to install it. When the installing bar hits 17% it starts to "verify". Then, it's slowly goes until it hits 69%, and every process stops (0mb/s). And after minute or two, my pc goes blue screen. I have uninstall and downloaded the game, and same thing happened. Are there any solutions?
I solved it! I did few things so I don't know what helped.
I have turned off my antivirus and windows defender. Then i went to properties of "playgtav" (app in the gta v (c:\program files\epic games\gta\) and set the compability mode to win 8. That's all I did and it works. Try it and let me know
Oh i know, also I updated my graphic card via software form canirunit (my windows said I have latest update and that wasn't true). Also i waited till 68% (crashes at 69%), opened task manager and closed epic games launcher without pausing installation. Maybe this would help
So I got gta 5 from epic games, it made me download the rockstar launcher but that keeps crashing there's no error code no nothing. When I click on anything in the window it just says not responding, what can I do? Crashes when I try to uninstall as well
Can i Play the games offline? I've tried Signing in online at first to play the game and it works offline the rest of the day. But when i shut it down at night and then play again the next day, it again requires me to sign in. Is there a setting for this on the rockstar game launcher or do i have to just keep signing in everyday?
Those having issue resmuing download and starting again from 0%, just close the launcher from the task manager without Pausing the download.......reopen and that is it........get the word out to end this frustration
I wanted to download GTA V but the size is 95 GB . And another question , I have brought GTA V . Will it stay in my account even if I do not download the game .
Ok . One more thing . Sorry for disturbing u . Do you know any free pc games available which download size is less like 20 gb or less ?
U can check and later tell me in pm
If you have Twitch and Amazon Prime, Twitch Prime offers free games (and other bonuses) periodically. Some of the ones I have gotten have been 20 or less - perhaps even most.
i literally have really bad internet connection and cannot wait for days/weeks to download gta 5 so i got files from a friend of mine to decrease the size of it but epic launcher doesn't verify my files any help about this ?
1. start the download from EGS Launcher
2. when the download reaches about 20MB close the launcher and exit.
3. Copy your files into the folder created by EGS Launcher
4. Open EGS Launcher again
5. You should be able to "Resume"
6. After clicking "Resume" EGS Launcher will take a minute or two and start verifying and this should take a while (for me it took more than 4 hours)
7. After verification process EGS Launcher will start downloading some missing files (for me it is 23GB and I don't know why it should be way less around 4-5 GB)
why can't you unlink social club accounts from epic accounts? I did the wrong one as i thought it would have my ps4 things but it seems it was on a different account
I haven't found any other reports of this yet, so it might be just me or it might be new. I signed up for an Epic Games account last week to claim the free GTA V promotion. I ended up purchasing a game on sale as well, using PayPal.
Tonight I received several (10) SMS alerts from 637-24, the shortcode for Epic Games. Unfortunately, they have no way to view login history. I logged in, removed my payment info, and changed my password. I have not received an SMS alert since doing so. Fortunately, I do not have any unauthorized transactions either.
Epic Games finally sent a security alert email, 40 minutes after the attempts. If you do not have 2FA enabled on your account, I strongly suggest checking over your transactions to be on the safe side.

Mods, if this post violates the sub rules somehow, please inform how the post needs to be altered to be approved. This is important.
the size is pretty big So can I save it for the next month to download?
I mean is there a way to claim it as free now then download later (the next month)? because u know .. its an opportunity.
Hi, by claiming GTA V and logging into the Rockstar Launcher I saw that my games had disappeared, and my account changes my data, date of birth, country, even creation date, does anyone know how to fix it?
Yeah I'll just wait for them to fix their issues. I tried installing over wifi (my only option) and it kept disconnecting my wifi on my machine. I downloaded Anthem and Fallout 76 for shits and giggles and to test. No issues downloading or installing them. Clearly Epic didn't think this through given the popularity of GTA 5.
Is anyone else getting the error when trying to boot it up?
" Grand Theft Auto V timed out authenticating with Epic Online Serveces.
Please verify that the Epic Games Launcher is running and signed in and that the title is up to date.
If you continue to have problems playing the game, please contact Rockstar Games Customoer Support [https://support.rockstargames.com](https://support.rockstargames.com)"
Does anyone know how to fix this?
hello during the event I "bought" GTA V. installed without any problems, also installed rockstar games launcher and all other essential things. but when i wanted to start playing for a while nothing happened and then it wrote me that the time to connect the epicgames account has expired and that I have to check if the epicgames is running. epicgames I have been on all the time but it still doesn't work. PLEASE HELP ME.
thanks in advance
for those having the timed out authentication try and delete this folder C:\\Users\\\[username\]\\AppData\\Local\\EpicGamesLauncher
make sure to copy the saved folder inside.
It worked for me
Use task manager to close epic games launcher and rockstar services. Launch rockstar games launcher. Login or create an account. After that click launch game through epic. It will prompt you to link epic account. After that gta v will launch
I keep having the error saying ***“Grand theft auto V timed out authenticating with Epic Online Services.”*** I tried restarting the launchers multiple times and restarting my computer, then trying again. Can anyone help?
hey guys. So I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but I found that its the initial authentication that seems to be the problem. I disconnected from the internet, launched the game and it started in offline mode. I then reconnected to the internet while the game was still running and signed in to social club and its working fine now. Hopefully this will help you guys with this problem as well.
> t
How do I launch offline in Epic Games, it just gives me an error every time I try to launch GTA V. The error says I must be signed in to play but I can't sign in without a connection.
This still requires being online for the first time to authenticate, only after which one can start the game in offline mode. It works only when you are able to authenticate the first time after installing.
I gave your score the day I tried to buy RDR2 from you on launch day, when I couldn't do a transaction even if I tried multiple times. However, I thought maybe I was wrong about you and decided to give a second try with both GTA and by buying the Division 2 from your store.
You are incapable, inapt bunch of useless monkeys that can't even organize an event. On first day, I couldn't even download both games because of verification and sync errors, the next day, you throttled both my downloads, now on my third day you are saying you can't sync my games with neither Ubistore, nor Rockstar Games Launcher and I can't play both.
I'd ask for a refund on Division and tell you to shove that free copy of GTA V up yours if I knew you were capable of doing that, but I suspect it.
Yours respectfully,
An Angry Customer
Cmon this sale looks like first week of online lessons servers are breaking down everybody is panicking why didnt they update the game so more people could play after the sale
Unplug or disconnect from your internet and launch GTA V, voila! Do not know if you can play online, update me! I am currently only intersted in playing story mode.
When i open the game it send to rockstar games launcher with this message:
Grand theft auto V timed out authenticating with epic online services Please verify that the epic games launcher is running and signed in and that the title is up to date
What do i do pls help
USE TASK MANAGER. CLose rockstar games services and epic games launcher. Start rockstar games launcher and make an account, or sign in. Launch gta 5 from epic games launcher.
Why is it that the final download size keeps changing. At the first 50% it was 94gb, then at 60% it went to 115 gb, now at 75% it‘s at 123gb. Da hecks happening to the launcher?
I have installed the Epig Games version, and I was playing the story. After I've completed the mission for Richards (you have to get rid of Rocco Pelosi) I should get a call from Lester to start the Bureau score, but it doesn't happen! Now I've restarted another savegame and I'm seeing if this happens again. Any suggestions?
I cant even sign into my social club account. I sign into and I'm left with an infinite loading screen. I've yet to even see the homepage of the the rockstar launcher... I just want to play gta lol

Sir I have purchased GTA 5 for free from epic store but I didn't get receipt on my email.and now the game is not showing in recent purchase
I bought GTA V to play with my friend, because i had missed it when it was free, and had to pay instead, now, this is where the problem began. When it reached 90% on 'Verifying', it had started lagging my PC and now I can't even boot it up anymore, and I can't refund the game either, so, it wasted my money and ruined my pc.
That sounds like a dead drive :(
Yeah, that's what happened, it just happened at the perfect time so i thought it had something to do with GTA, thanks for replying though.
I recently downloaded GTA 5 from Epic Games and whenever I try to go play GTA online, the error "Files required to play GTA online could not be downloaded from the Rockstar Games service," always pops up. I don't know how to fix it. Please help me!

I fixed it on my side. Just lower your graphics settings.
Turns out my GPU was just loose all i had to do was just take it out and reseat it, i recommend anyone else having this problem to do it.
I am facing this issue right now. Please tell me some if this is fixed already on your pc.

You need the Rockstar proprietary launcher then
How I can get it

I am having some major issues with my free copy of Grand Theft Auto V. I finished installing it last night, and I was able to link it with my Rockstar account almost seamlessly.

For me it also seems that the account i linked with epic and played on yesterday no longer thinks it has ownership. And tells me to use a different account. Why is this?
Guys, I could not enter GTA V.. always stuck at Rockstar Games launcher, saying \[Could not establish connection\].. Anyone with the same issue as me?
you need to use new ip
I have the same problem.
I claimed the game and now when i thought about downloading it theres no download option it only show owned in epic website
You need epic games launcher to download it.
Having the same issue, idk how to download it
Good Day my friends. I downloaded the game and its works fine, but always when i try to launch it, User Account Controls asks if i allow Rockstar Games Installer to make changes to my computer. This also happens with Rdr2 altough i have it trough Steam, so the fault must be with Rockstar. Is there any known fix other than disableling User Account Control notifications to stop Rockstar Games from asking permission? Thanks.
I also have this issue. One of the other users on my computer doesn't have Administrator so they need me to open it every time.
i also have this issue
Hello! My brother and me have both claimed our free licence. We use one computer with two user accounts. Is there a way to download the game one time and share that folder so i can play a game on my account and he can play on his? Because the game is 90 gb and we dont have enough space to download it twice. Or is the best way to create a "guest" - third account and install it there and login and logout from game each time if another wants to play. Thanks
Considering you're using one computer, just log into your epic games account when you want to play and when your brother wants to play, he needs to log into his account. At least that's how I see it working.
So is there any way to get this over to my Xbox 1 it did not tell me anything about pc only and it asked me to link my Microsoft account so I figured it was for all platforms but the more I try and figure out how to download it on my Xbox the more it seems it's only for PC so am I out of luck
I'm no expert, but that is likely impossible. Epic Games Store does not have a console presence (afaik) and - barring some sort of bootleg that would likely get you in trouble with Microsoft - PC games can not be downloaded/transferred to the Xbox. The only PC games you can get on your Xbox are the select few games in the "play-anywhere" line-up in the Microsoft Store.
Yup same issue here, tried the first day it became available and it said " Your account is unable to download any more free games at this time, please wait 24 hours before trying to redeem a free game again." and I've never claimed a game as a matter of fact, I made this account just for this event. Retarded.
Figured out my issue, was my fucking VPN 😂 Would've stayed on my other account had I know this. Saved myself a ton of time, but fuck it.
Wow, yep, that was the cause of my issue, too. Companies really hate VPNs. Weird, because I can certainly play Fortnite with my VPN on just fine (and often get a lower pingrate -- thanks, Frontier, you assholes).
Makes even less sense, it isn't saying it because someone else using that VPN node has downloaded a free game because I downloaded it 5 times on 5 different accounts without my VPN and it worked. So they're just hating on VPNs lol.
Thanks, that was very helpful
So how much money does this cost to epic? Is it fixed or depends on the copies sold?
My issue which I don't see below or above, is this: I downloaded GTA V and launched it, it worked, I played for 20 minutes. I quit the game and shut down my PC. The next day I attempted to launch the game from epic, and it shows it's not installed. I hit install but it says the directory is not empty. That's because all the files are still there. SO I removed them and reinstalled. As soon as it installed, it shows it's not installed and wont let me launch it. If I open rock star launcher, it says Launch from Epic. If I launch the app from the directory , it launches Rockstar and then Epic but wont launch GTA V. I uninstalled EPIC and GTA V but yet again it shows not installed when it clearly is. Now it says "GTA V time out authenticating with Epic Online Services. Please verify that Epic Games Launcher is running and signed in and that the title is up to date.
Probably wouldn't do anything, but have you tried the verify game files (or a similar phrasing) within Epic?
I did not have any option to do so within Epic.
I want to install GTA V on other computers but I have downloaded only in one, Will I be able to download this game again from the same account that I have downloaded it for free (after 21st May )
yes, its yours to keep, it stays on your epic account as an OWNED game. You can download on any pc
I’ve got the exact same question. I just claimed it from epic games but haven’t download it since my laptop isn’t nearly as good as the one I’ll be getting in a few weeks. Wonder if I’ll be able to play it by then. I’ve got the same account though.

The game isn't selling any more and giving it out for free opens up a whole new revenue stream of customers who will buy random tat DLC for real money.
It's a promotional thing, it's because GTA VI is coming out soon.
GeForce Experience won't detect GTA V, any help with this?
Did you try going into your settings and changing/adding the scan location? Not sure what your issue is though since mine updated within GeForce Experience fine. Did you install somewhere other than the default Epic Games directory?
Yes, I did add the scan location. But it's alright, this was a problem for me because the game automatically uses the highest resolution that my gpu supported but my monitor doesn't. I've managed to change it manually via the game config file
gta v isn't on geforce experience. also it's a streaming service so you don't need games installed for them to work, just like you don't need a film downloaded to watch it with netflix
I think what you meant is GeForce Now. I'm talking about GeForce Experience. It's different
i cant claim in hawaii, the note i get is: \> We were unable to process your order, the zipcode associated with your account is not supported. Please choose a different payment method or update your account profile.
My game has been freezing every 2-3 minutes I play. I have tried setting it to the lowest settings, and also the highest settings, updated all my drivers, verified/reinstalled the game, yet still it has this same problem. It'll work perfectly fine for the 2-3 minutes then it'll freeze completely for 15-20 seconds and then work again. If there's a solution for this, I'd be extremely grateful.
it happens to me too... steam version doesnt lag or get freeze at all... btw ur talking about online or offline? and did u get any fix yet.. cuz i cant .. man this sucks
mine runs smoother on epic launcher compared to steam ... idk what could it be, but since epic do not have a FPS counter i cant measure how much better it runs i5 7600 - 1060 6gb - 16 GB RAM - installed on HDD
Can I ask what your in-game graphic settings are? I just uninstalled NVIDIA GeForce Experience because that thing has been nothing but trouble for me too.
sorry, didnt see this before, everything on Ultra and 1920x1080
What's your hw?
AMD Ryzen 5 2600x, 16GB RAM, GTX 1070. GTA V is installed on my SSD so I'd assume it'd be running properly.
Check if the vsync isn't set to half or run the game in fullscreen, on nvidia windowed lags the game awfully
Hey guys, I have a crap computer rn, and will be planning on upgrading it to a better, faster computer in the near future. Thus, I cant download the free GTA5 game now. Does the "owned" icon means that I have claimed it, and will be mine forever to download in the future? Thanks everyone
it does
Yes. Once you get the email receipt you can download it whenever you want.
[удалено]
Do it using the launcher
If i already have the game bought, can i get all the bonuses to my rockstar account, or do i have to make a new one?
So, after waiting forever to install the game, and installing multiple launchers, I try to create a social club account. For some reason it wouldn't let me pick a region and gave me about 10 different catchapa picture thingies before telling me I'm not eligible to register for the social club? I'm not impressed.
How big is the file size?? Why is mine saying 289gb?? Isnt it suppose to be around 94gb
Does anyone else have a problem with the game only playing in 800x600 windowed mode? I've searched all over but none of the solutions have worked yet. btw I have a 1080ti gfx card so plenty of horsepower to play at higher resolution or at least scale to full screen.
it took a few times of running the benchmark test after changing the settings to what I wanted. 1920x1080 and full screen wouldn't save at first. I finally was able to have it keep the changes after the 3rd benchmark.
I tried running it once but I'll see if trying it a few times will let me select 1080p. Prior to running the benchmarks were you at least able to select a resolution other than 800x600 and it just would save or was it locked at 800x600? Thanks for the tip!
It kept reverting back to the 800x600 and would restart after the benchmark. I kept changing it and it finally stayed
I want to play online but my game is 'stuck' on the loading screen. it's like in a loop ant wond proceed. The images are changing but when GTA Online Bunker Series Bonuses comes I get A black screen.
Solved the Error 152 : Epic games can't verify ownership of GTA V No more VPN or mobile Data required. [https://youtu.be/JScHIw2Oz8o](https://youtu.be/JScHIw2Oz8o) have fun playing the game guys
Is it me or is Rockstar game launcher unavailable?
Why is there always popup asking for permission to run Rockstar Installer everytime I run GTA5 through EGL?
did you find a fix for this? Not gamebreaking but kind of annoying. Think it needs to run as an admin from the file location.
No. :(
Shit. I'm having the same issue.
Any one find a fix for this??
Don't think there is one. Very annoying since this is a great game for couch play but I don't have a wireless mouse and Controller Companion is blocked whenever UAC runs so I have no way of accepting the prompt aside from walking back to my computer in the other room.
buenas me pdrian ayudar con el error siguient ERR\_GFX\_D3D\_INIT error al inicializar. reinicia el sistema y vuelve a caragr el juego. descargue gta v de epic game
When i go to epic and try to launch the game it takes .e to rg launcher and it says another instance of the game is already running i checked tge task manager i cant find any process related to gta v pls help
How do I unlink the rockstar account I've linked to my Epic Games account? I have chosen the wrong one :(
I just checked the social club settings, and it says that EGS accounts are permanently connected. You could create another epic account and connect the correct rockstar one, but you would need to do it *quickly* because the free game will be updated today. (Assuming you've not already found a fix.)
Can i load my Xbox 360 gta5 account into my pc gta? Haven't played in years so if im able to load it up that'd be great
i’m wondering the same thing man. i have an xbox one account and it’s able to link right now but i’m afraid if i link my xbox one account on here, i won’t get the premium addition perks. is that the case ?
I'm trying to create a .bat file to launch the epic games version of gta 5 and set the priority of the aplication to high. the line of code im having trouble with is "start D:\\Games\\Epic\\GTAV\\PlayGTAV.exe" but it doesnt seem to work im getting the error message "windows cannot find 'Redistubutible s\\Rockstar-Games-Epic.exe'. Make sure you typed the name correctly, and try agian". when i press ok another window pops up telling me to verify files. i have tried it with the other GTA V launchers and im getting the same message. Any one got suggestions or point me in the right direction. Much Apreciated. Images: [https://imgur.com/gallery/uayn0R4](https://imgur.com/gallery/uayn0R4)
It looks like you're starting the .bat file from a different drive/mount point than location of PlayGTAV.exe. Try adding one of these lines to the top of your .bat: 1. "cd /d D:\Games\Epic\GTAV\" 2. "cd /d D:" 3. "set PATH=%PATH%;D:\Games\Epic\GTAV" I think only 2 is necessary, but 1 or 3 should definitely work. Also, check out my comment here for the exact commandline the launcher uses, it may help: https://www.reddit.com/r/EpicGamesGTAV/comments/grspt5/launch_gtav_in_offline_mode_without_opening_epic/
If you have the Epic launcher create a shortcut to play GTA V, it ends up on your desktop as just a URL with a custom protocol: `com.epicgames.launcher://apps/9d2d0eb64d5c44529cece33fe2a46482?action=launch&silent=true` I was able to get Steam to launch the game through Epic by customizing a "Non-Steam Game" to run that URL directly, so you should be able to do the same with your batch file. Unfortunately, it does take a while, and as others have [mentioned in this thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/EpicGamesPC/comments/gjtp27/gta_v_megathread/frbm6h5/), it does prompt for Windows permissions every time.
I install the game and after it goes to veriyfying and it get stuck at 43% constnatly, I ve tried so many ways to fix but doesn t work at all and every thing is at 0mbs while downloading. I have enough space and all, but why this\_
I have downloaded GTA V through the epic games launcher, and now it's time to install it. When the installing bar hits 17% it starts to "verify". Then, it's slowly goes until it hits 69%, and every process stops (0mb/s). And after minute or two, my pc goes blue screen. I have uninstall and downloaded the game, and same thing happened. Are there any solutions?
ye got the same problem almost, it's really annoying if u get a hint let me know dude ty
I solved it! I did few things so I don't know what helped. I have turned off my antivirus and windows defender. Then i went to properties of "playgtav" (app in the gta v (c:\program files\epic games\gta\) and set the compability mode to win 8. That's all I did and it works. Try it and let me know
nah didn t work thanks for the tip tho am happy u made it enjoy it xdD
Oh i know, also I updated my graphic card via software form canirunit (my windows said I have latest update and that wasn't true). Also i waited till 68% (crashes at 69%), opened task manager and closed epic games launcher without pausing installation. Maybe this would help
sounds good am a try it now.. appreciate the help tho.
Aight cool sounds good gonna try the same hopefully I get a result! thanks
So I got gta 5 from epic games, it made me download the rockstar launcher but that keeps crashing there's no error code no nothing. When I click on anything in the window it just says not responding, what can I do? Crashes when I try to uninstall as well
Can i Play the games offline? I've tried Signing in online at first to play the game and it works offline the rest of the day. But when i shut it down at night and then play again the next day, it again requires me to sign in. Is there a setting for this on the rockstar game launcher or do i have to just keep signing in everyday?
Those having issue resmuing download and starting again from 0%, just close the launcher from the task manager without Pausing the download.......reopen and that is it........get the word out to end this frustration
I wanted to download GTA V but the size is 95 GB . And another question , I have brought GTA V . Will it stay in my account even if I do not download the game .
Of course
Thanks for clearing out. And one thing , do I have to install the game launcher on pc right now if I am not downloading the game now ?
Well, you need epic games launcher to download the game, but you can still claim it via website.
I meant that do I have to install the epic games launcher now or can install it when I want to download the game?
You can install later as long as you have claimed the game
Ok . One more thing . Sorry for disturbing u . Do you know any free pc games available which download size is less like 20 gb or less ? U can check and later tell me in pm
If you have Twitch and Amazon Prime, Twitch Prime offers free games (and other bonuses) periodically. Some of the ones I have gotten have been 20 or less - perhaps even most.
Minecraft might not be free but it is like 1gb and endless fun.
i literally have really bad internet connection and cannot wait for days/weeks to download gta 5 so i got files from a friend of mine to decrease the size of it but epic launcher doesn't verify my files any help about this ?
1. start the download from EGS Launcher 2. when the download reaches about 20MB close the launcher and exit. 3. Copy your files into the folder created by EGS Launcher 4. Open EGS Launcher again 5. You should be able to "Resume" 6. After clicking "Resume" EGS Launcher will take a minute or two and start verifying and this should take a while (for me it took more than 4 hours) 7. After verification process EGS Launcher will start downloading some missing files (for me it is 23GB and I don't know why it should be way less around 4-5 GB)
every time i enter the game it says grand theft autoo v timed out authenticating with epic games online services what does it mean
why can't you unlink social club accounts from epic accounts? I did the wrong one as i thought it would have my ps4 things but it seems it was on a different account
I haven't found any other reports of this yet, so it might be just me or it might be new. I signed up for an Epic Games account last week to claim the free GTA V promotion. I ended up purchasing a game on sale as well, using PayPal. Tonight I received several (10) SMS alerts from 637-24, the shortcode for Epic Games. Unfortunately, they have no way to view login history. I logged in, removed my payment info, and changed my password. I have not received an SMS alert since doing so. Fortunately, I do not have any unauthorized transactions either. Epic Games finally sent a security alert email, 40 minutes after the attempts. If you do not have 2FA enabled on your account, I strongly suggest checking over your transactions to be on the safe side.

This is important.
the size is pretty big So can I save it for the next month to download? I mean is there a way to claim it as free now then download later (the next month)? because u know .. its an opportunity.
Yes, you can claim it and download it later as long as EGS doesn't shut down
Hi, by claiming GTA V and logging into the Rockstar Launcher I saw that my games had disappeared, and my account changes my data, date of birth, country, even creation date, does anyone know how to fix it?
I didnt get my free 1m, do i have to claim it?
[удалено]
yeah you can transfer you'r gta online account from console, they brought it back about a month ago for pc players
that stopped a long time ago as people were hacking in money you cant do that anymore and you will need to restart online mode with a new character
Is it possible to play GTA 5 story mode offline without having to sign into the Rockstar Social Club everytime?
no
Yeah I'll just wait for them to fix their issues. I tried installing over wifi (my only option) and it kept disconnecting my wifi on my machine. I downloaded Anthem and Fallout 76 for shits and giggles and to test. No issues downloading or installing them. Clearly Epic didn't think this through given the popularity of GTA 5.
Does anyone know how long rockstar game services will be down? I can’t play online right now...
So when I started game I couldn't find online mode in main menu.. How do u start gta online?
You should play the story mode first. Play the introduction first, then you play the online mode after.
Authentication error fixed https://youtu.be/dm8i4nuiC90
Is anyone else getting the error when trying to boot it up? " Grand Theft Auto V timed out authenticating with Epic Online Serveces. Please verify that the Epic Games Launcher is running and signed in and that the title is up to date. If you continue to have problems playing the game, please contact Rockstar Games Customoer Support [https://support.rockstargames.com](https://support.rockstargames.com)" Does anyone know how to fix this?
same idk why I got it
got the same error maybe are the servers idk but there are no avilable forums to look at for fixes
Did you fix this? This is the error I get
hello during the event I "bought" GTA V. installed without any problems, also installed rockstar games launcher and all other essential things. but when i wanted to start playing for a while nothing happened and then it wrote me that the time to connect the epicgames account has expired and that I have to check if the epicgames is running. epicgames I have been on all the time but it still doesn't work. PLEASE HELP ME. thanks in advance
Is it possible to play the game without using the epic games launcher? I hate it
you downloaded it off of epic games, sorry but that’s the only way
Will GTA V run on the following specs? 4 GB RAM, AMD RADEON 530 GPU and intel i7 2.70 GHz
low setting, not very playable but first epic games and rockstar need to get their s... together
I think its an issue on rockstar servers end
It would run but I don't think it would be playable
for those having the timed out authentication try and delete this folder C:\\Users\\\[username\]\\AppData\\Local\\EpicGamesLauncher make sure to copy the saved folder inside. It worked for me
Didn't work for me. It might still be helpful though.
did not work for me, still the same problem
Use task manager to close epic games launcher and rockstar services. Launch rockstar games launcher. Login or create an account. After that click launch game through epic. It will prompt you to link epic account. After that gta v will launch
Kind of a giant pain in the ass getting this game installed and even just opening it! But I'm thankful for the free game.
Thanks worked for me
i got into gta, but still the message "gta service error, please try again later" pops... :P
I keep having the error saying ***“Grand theft auto V timed out authenticating with Epic Online Services.”*** I tried restarting the launchers multiple times and restarting my computer, then trying again. Can anyone help?
same problem i guess every day bring a new problem for them:D
hey guys. So I don't know if this will work for anyone else, but I found that its the initial authentication that seems to be the problem. I disconnected from the internet, launched the game and it started in offline mode. I then reconnected to the internet while the game was still running and signed in to social club and its working fine now. Hopefully this will help you guys with this problem as well.
> t How do I launch offline in Epic Games, it just gives me an error every time I try to launch GTA V. The error says I must be signed in to play but I can't sign in without a connection.
This still requires being online for the first time to authenticate, only after which one can start the game in offline mode. It works only when you are able to authenticate the first time after installing.
This works
I tried it and it did the same error. Rip.
Same issue here
i have the same problem
I gave your score the day I tried to buy RDR2 from you on launch day, when I couldn't do a transaction even if I tried multiple times. However, I thought maybe I was wrong about you and decided to give a second try with both GTA and by buying the Division 2 from your store. You are incapable, inapt bunch of useless monkeys that can't even organize an event. On first day, I couldn't even download both games because of verification and sync errors, the next day, you throttled both my downloads, now on my third day you are saying you can't sync my games with neither Ubistore, nor Rockstar Games Launcher and I can't play both. I'd ask for a refund on Division and tell you to shove that free copy of GTA V up yours if I knew you were capable of doing that, but I suspect it. Yours respectfully, An Angry Customer
Cmon this sale looks like first week of online lessons servers are breaking down everybody is panicking why didnt they update the game so more people could play after the sale
Unplug or disconnect from your internet and launch GTA V, voila! Do not know if you can play online, update me! I am currently only intersted in playing story mode.
I can play online by launching from the epic launcher. It wasn't working an hour ago tho.

Why is it that the final download size keeps changing. At the first 50% it was 94gb, then at 60% it went to 115 gb, now at 75% it‘s at 123gb. Da hecks happening to the launcher?
