How to "connect" GTA V, Steam to Rockstar Client?

[Ralle]

Bought GTA V on sale on Steam. Never downloaded it and/or played it . How does GTA V Steam work with Rockstar´s own client now?

You need an account at Rockstar's webpage[www.rockstargames.com], when it's set up you can link Steam and Rockstar's Social Club in the settings.

Thanks for the answer.

What I ment in my sloppy way of asking is:

1. Can I somehow link my GTA V, bought on Steam, to Rockstars own client so I don´t have to go thru Steam and Social Club / Rockstars client when wantiing to play GTA V?

2. If I register for ROckstars client, does that also count as Social Club or do I have to regietser for that one too?

3. One last that has nothing to do with clients and so on. Stumbled upon a thread, somewhere else, saying that GTA VSteam is unplayable comparinig to Rockstars "own" GTA V. Is it so?

No they are tied permanently you need to launch steam to play.

The login credentials generated while registering on Rockstar's webpage are also valid for Social Club and the new launcher.
And within the steam install routine Social Club software is included. The second launcher must be downloaded from Rockstars page, if I do remember right.

I know both GTA V-versions, the one from Steam and the "standalone" downloaded direct from Rockstar.
Both are little bit messed up since some weeks. I expierence some crashes like the game suddenly shuts down. It can happen after 10 minutes or after four hours. And sometimes I can end the game regularly without any crash.
Going back to an earlier nvidia-driver (gfx) didn't change it for me, so still waiting for a fix or an idea ... :)

Thank you! Registered on Rockstar´s page and have now their client up and running. Gonna try GTA V soon. (To be honest, mostly hyped for RDR2. Depends on how much it is gonna cost.)
