This worked thank you! I'd forgotten that there is a shortcut key to bring up the main menu for the in game launcher.

I understand they have the launcher to prevent piracy. But why do they insist on having it running in the background. Once the game is launched it should exit. I don't use any of the features of it so it's completely useless to me. And why do they force cloud saves on? I hate them. I prefer to have my local saves and backup them up. Cloud saves overwrite your local saves which can screw up your progress. Completely ridiculous.

Hi, as Vitto said in his post, you can still delete the file (cloudsavedata.dat), you will asked again if you want to activate the cloud save or not.

What was the SC launcher? What does SC stand for?

Social Club

Ahh I see. Does anyone actually use it? I don't. The only reason I even opened it is to disable cloud saves.
For screenshots I use Steam's screenshot function. Nice and clean no ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ watermarks or anything else.

Steams screenshot compression is miserable.
90% quality on jpegs is just bad.
Although, there is an option to save uncompressed, but you can no longer upload higher quality jpegs as screenshots, Steam only allows you to upload them as "artwork" now.

Yes, everyone uses Social Club, because that's how Rockstar's multiplayer services are running with since 2008.
Matchmaking, friends list, crews, chat, etc.
It's just that the launcher has been renamed to Rockstar Games Launcher, which is now a standalone application, instead of running in the background as before.

Compression is never fine.

Hi,

While in game just go to the social club, and in the third choice (in setting, on the wheel next to your name) on the left you can choose to activate or deactivate cloud.

I'm trying to deactivate the cloud save but the social club always put it enabled when i relaunch the game...

Thanks helped me enable it.

Delete the cloudsavedata.dat file and launch the game, it will ask you again if you want to enable cloud saves or not.

Thank you. Even though I kept enabling cloud saves in the Rockstar overlay, it would go back to disabled until I did the above and forced it to prompt me again.
