    I just remembered ... Are you by any chance running Afterburner software while launching the game? I had to content myself with launching afterburner only after clicking on GTAV. Maybe because I have the RivaTunerStatisticsServer logging info, I don't know. I figure it's worth mentioning because in the past I was always seeing the game fail to launch. I haven't played in weeks, so it only now came to mind.

    I wouldn't want to do that either. First you have to source it from somewhere, likely nefarious if you don't have a known good place. Second, it's possible Rockstar could detect and invalidate his license.

    Not if he disconnects from the internet while playing it
    And would the chance of rockstar stopping your game from working be preferable to not being able to play the game ever ?

    whatever the issue is, it looseems like the game has it fair share of issues. In fact the game is getting the fans rage treatment in the reviews --only 11% reviews in the past 30 days have been positive-:

    It's getting a shitton of negative reviews since Take2 decided to take down the single player mod community last week.
     
    DSoup, BRiT and Lightman like this.
