Can't login Rockstar Games Account using any of my three emails, but all already have accounts..?

[[SAP] TheLazySamurai [SCRUB]]

So I've got three emails, and all three are apparently linked to accounts as I can't use them to create new Rockstar Game accounts:

One of them doesn't surprise me as I had it back when I played RD1 on the 360, and it is associated with my 360 account from back then. I don't really use that email anymore but I still don't get a "forgot your password" email when I try that.

The second one is my main, and while I have not played any Rockstar games since creating this email, I cannot create a Rockstar Games account, nor do I get an email with "forgot your password". So this one can't be used even though it should be fine.

My third email is one that I created years after the last time I had played any Rockstar game, and don't even use it for any games. So It should be fine to create an account, but it cannot, and the "forgot your password" also doesn't give an email.

So I'm at a loss as to what to do, if someone has any suggestions. I don't even know if I can get into support as I can't log in to contact them

You need to recover the Rockstar account that is linked to your Steam so you can play purchased games on here using the launcher which is required.

Can I do that, even if I have not linked an account to my Steam?

If you haven't linked a Rockstar account to Steam yet, make sure you have your main at hand or a brand new clean account if you wish and link that when prompted after launching your game. You can only link one account once so make sure it's the correct one or one you want to proceed with going forward.

I'd be double checking that La Noire.

edit - the email 'on' the steam account can 'vary' from the social club account- for a variety of reasons - changed, hacked, etc. The steam account is 'linked' to 'the'/a social club account. If the email is changed on that social club account... the account 'still' has the steam account linked. If you believe 'that' is the proper email, you need to log into the social club account that email is tied to - go to account settings, linked accounts tab, and verify your steam account shows there.

As for not getting emails from password forgotten/recovery / codes and all that - there is still the standard internet/server issues, spam/trash/filtered/'priority' emails, and all that other nonsense. Just something to also check into.

edit - My 'emails' from R* appear in under 30 seconds - there is likely an issue.. somewhere.

Oh ♥♥♥♥, thats right. But I don't recall it being a requirement. Either way it would be specifically to this Steam account, which is also my main email

I think the Rockstar Launcher was added to LA Noire in 2021 so if you played it before then, chances are you didn't need a Rockstar account linked to your Steam to access the game.

Oh, I purchased it back in 2017, and it also says that I last played it that year as well. So I guess I didn't end up using the Rockstar launcher, assuming it was added after Nov 2017

I mean I've checked my spam/junk folders because I expect it. Sadly nothing in any of the emails I've used since about 2005. So unless someone changed the email associated with it at some point, I'm S.O.L.
