GTA V Online crashes whenever I enter a car or an explosion happens.

[Doki]

Hello, the title says it all, I've been looking all over the place for a fix or awnsers to my problem and so far no fruit to be bared. however I suspect it has something to do with the fact that my rockstar launcher crashes whenever it pops up when I boot it up through steam, also no fix has been found for it.

-The crash isn't random though, it happens whenever I enter a "combat mode" which is to just shoot a few times and get in cover, if I do that and then try to get into a vehicle, my game will instantly crash.
-As for the explosions crashing my game I'd like to say it's random but I suspect it only happens from player explosions, as in, grenades, sticky bombs, proximity mines, etc. and probably is the same issue as I'm having crashing while getting in vehicles.
-No, the vehicles themselves aren't specific in nature, could be any vehicle, plane or helicopter.
-This doesn't seem to happen in single player.
-The game crash gives no error it just freezes for one second and then closes, social club crashing gives me a "couldn't save player's information" or something along those lines, can't check right now because I'm writing this.

I've tried various things from the stuff I've searched through google and none of it worked.(You people looking for the similar issue could try it you want)

Heres the list:

1. Verify the integrity of the game's files.
2. Reinstall the game.
3. Reopening Rockstar's social club as soon as it crashes when opening GTA V.
4. Opening Steam and Social club as administrator
5. Deleting all files that aren't .rpf then verifying the game files' integrity (even though I never used or will use mods)
6. I updated my GPU's drivers
7. I updated my OS
8. I tried launching the game with -directlaunch in the set launch options (to avoid opening social club and have it crash instantly)
9. I tried looking away from explosions
10. I've reduced my graphic settings to normal
11. Tried changing the directx options through all the options available (10, 10.1 and 11)
12. turned vsync on and off (crashed on both instances)
13. tried running no background applications or software with the exception of discord (used to talk to my friends) steam and social club (to be able to play of course)

and those are the only ones I can remember right now.

OS: Windows 7 SP1 64-bits
CPU: AMD FX8350 eight-core processor 4.01GHz
GPU: NVidia GeForce 1060 6Gb VRAM
RAM: 16Gbs

I've tried everything I could find, none of it worked as previously mentioned, with however, the exception of sending a support ticket to Rockstar themselves but only because I expect to wait 3 weeks for a generic awnser generated by a bot, at that point I'd rather uninstall the game and wait until it miraculously gets patched.
I don't expect to get much help here either, but seeing how limited my current options are, I have no other choice but to seek help here, me and probably the rare cases of people that have the same issue as me will be extremely grateful.

If I may try, I ran into this twice in the past, with this game and different games (like Fallout 4).

In one case, it was my audio adapter - what do you use for sound? A sound card? USB dongle? Onboard Adapter ('chips on the board') and plug into your mainboard or front of the case?
If you use one of those, try a different one - for example, if you are using a THX USB dongle, try plugging directly into the mainboard, at the back, and use the onboard audio for a while, to see if that helps. In the past, it did for me on an older system - maybe it couldn't handle the number of sounds playing simultaneously or something, but it would crash/freeze at explosions/crashes in game.

In another case, it was my CPU. A lot of special effects are still calculated on the CPU these days, and some of those are audio and explosions (particles, etc). Most of these types of things are being passed to the GPU slowly over time, but a lot still start their effects on the CPU.
If you are overclocking it, turn that off for now. If it still doesn't work, try underclocking for a while. This will at least tell you if it's your CPU (eg. getting old, etc) - if it works 'perfectly' when you do this. In my case, I upgraded my CPU because I could at the time, and it went away for me. If you really can't get this all working, it might be time to consider an upgrade. If you can't though that's ok too, keep working at it.

Edit:
I forgot: Also, you can try turning down special effects (screenshake, blur, "FX", etc) - a lot of these can cause issues, especially with older hardware. I remember it did for an old GPU of mine, it would freeze at motionblur/explosions, heh.

HTH a bit anyway. GL

There is a current launcher issue as of Nov 5 seemingly affecting in some form - those on win7.
Much more info in the link - including a couple things you didn't mention doing in your list. Past trial/error/YMMV testing - the best anyone can do is wait for a fix or (or pester R* support) -

Hello!

No, I just use the default drivers for audio and some earbuds, never really fancied changing stuff around when it just worked, the only thing I got that's third party is Virtual Audio Cable, and that never is running on the background, unless I'm micspamming Valve game's multiplayer servers, so I don't see how this could affect the game, but I might try uninstalling it.

My CPU is not overclocked or at least I don't think it is, never truly tried to do it because I never liked the concept of exchanging lifespan with performance, I mainly build things to last and not to perform well. but I've been considering an upgrade for awhile.

Yeah, like I said in the post, I downgraded my graphic and display settings, it didn't seem to affect anything regarding the crashes unfortunately. (motion blur and screenshakes are the bane of my existence)

I might have to wait for Rockstar to bother fixing it, until then I'll have to rely on RNG to get my heists done with my friends, Thank you for the suggestions and I appreciate the time you took to help me!

Hello!

Yes, I read your posts before, it's the reason why I decided to list the stuff I already tried, to see if anyone would have anything else to try. I tried most if not all of your suggestions and they didn't seem to work, I appreciate you taking time to test these for the people that are facing this issue, you're the real mvp here!

Hopefully they'll fix it relatively soon. I'm hoping that at least people with this issue find the solutions you wrote and fix it for them.
