"Social Club unavailable. Play Offline or try again"

[Caporegime Clutch]

I know I'm not the only one having this issue, and I apologize if this is a common post on this discussion board. I've had this issue for a long time but have ignored it until recently. Has there been a discovered fix? Its not an urgent issue or anything, I would just like to know if there has been a discovered solution. Thanks!

You are playing patch 1.0.7.0 or below.

The Social club login window has been broken for a while. to play online you can either use third party multiplayer software or keep pressing to log in untill you manage to succesfully log in.

When you do get to log in, go into the game's root folder (while the game is still running) and rename "paul.dll" to anything else

This causes the game to reuse the same login token when restarting the game instead of trying to get a new one when you try to login again and face the same issue.


Spamming the log in button untill it works can take up to half an hour so be patient.
