Game does not show up as active in rockstar launcher

[MC Hasselblad]

As in title. When I launch game in steam, my rockstar launcher shows up with my account but theres only buy option in Red Dead Redemption. Can anyone help me pls

[Shane]

have to link steam and rockstar launcher to each other

[MC Hasselblad]

can you share how to do it?

[Shane]

well i cant see how no more becuase im linked up...

1st - try firing up rockstar launcher from your desktop, click the circle avatar and does it say link in that.... ?

after that browse the other settings in there, and then we move on if not

[MC Hasselblad]

hmm it looks like its already linked with my steam account prolly because of GTA 5. any other ideas than linking?
edit: even when I scan it does not show up

[Shane]

it should work if its linked up - restart both steam and r* launcher

Mine is also already linked, if i check the rockstar website it shows RDR2 and GTA5 in my library but the launcher still wants me to buy them.

Same trouble here. if i check the rockstar website it shows RDR2 in my games list, but the launcher still wants me to buy RDR2. when i launch rdr2 with rockstar launcher off , the launcher try to connect then crash, when i start RDR2 with rockstar launcher on the game crash and he move from library to "now available" section , When i launch RdR2.exe from steam folder the launcher tell me i did not buy RDR... it's boring i don't find a fix

[MC Hasselblad]

my email is verified but what do You mean Shane with that rest of post?

[MC Hasselblad]

if I launch rockstar launcher first and then press play in steam it tells me that rockstar launcher is already running and still only option to buy it

[Shane]

in the rockstar launcher with the circle avatar piccy - it says at top game - store - settings
click games
then is red dead 2 in there with a button saying play on steam
