Crashing upon loading into the multiplayer.

[MagicMeth]

Hey guys.. I have a slight problem... i was forced to reinstall my windows due to huge amount of garbage my cousin installed on my PC...

However after reinstalling it crashes upon entering MP... I can play single player for hours without a single crash. However once i'll enter the "Sky Camera Loading part" and it's nearing an end... My game crashes just like that saying "Oh we're sorry... GTA V has stopped working"

I've found several topics where people said delete some folders in your GTA V folder, or rename Rockstar Games (In documents) to Rockstar Games-Old etc etc. For the love of all that's unholy... I can't figure this out... Could anyone help me ?


Thanks. MagicMeth.

be sure to remove scripthook or any other mods you have, if that's not the case verify game files

Freshly installed game. Not using any mods... Tried Verifying the game files multiple times without any results.... Not sure what scripthook is.

There are others who have had better luck by adding gtav game / socialclub folder to whitelist/exclusions for their antivirus/security software - this include windows defender.
(steam/steamapps/common/gtav AND programfiles/rockstargames/socialclub)
(7 instances of ESET causing same issue recently - whitelist/exclusion 'not' working)
(5 users uninstalled it - instantly worked, 1 didn't. 2 reinstalling worked, 1 didn't)
(YMMV heavily) (mcafee now also caused issues in 2 instances)
Edit - (Malwarebytes in 3 instances now)

Others- have needed to verify files - after doing so, especially on fresh installs. Steam verify can... tell you the files are 100% and they aren't. It happens. Also helps if you are running steam as admin. (R* users run playgtav -verify or gtavlauncher -verify and pray it works)

Reinstalling gtav also doesn't guarantee mods were removed - if any were added. That would be the various threads where people didn't remove their mods - completely. If you had to smoke your windows install because of a cousin - I'd definitely do a doublecheck. There are 2 links on my profile 1 for steam, and 1 for R* mod removal.

In the past - yes, my docs/rockstar folder/subfolder/files perms have caused crashes - is where the suggested rename comes in - so steam/gtav recreate it all.
(rename my documents / rockstar games to rockstar games-garbage)

Various other 3rd party programs have caused crashes (like network optimizers, internet download managers, etc), there have even been people that have let me TV, "fix" it, and proceed to shove cheat menus into it - and claim it was still crashing (promptly unfriended/ignored).
(msconfig - services, hide MS services - disable the rest except R* related- then over to startup/taskmanager tab - disable it all. apply/restart pc - try. if it works, slowly - re-enable stuff to find culprit)

There have also been crashes caused by tampered hosts file (closely related to cheating).
(open windows/system32/drivers/etc - rename hosts to hosts-garbage - test gtav)

A couple have reported success going into online via the main menu via the "bonus" activities. Not "online" and not into sp, and then online. YMMV - as these users have also gone as far as letting me tv, disable everything, and one even claimed a reinstallation of windows. Also bear in mind - all 3 of these users had evidence/admitted to cheating. Take that for what you will.

Recently - some DNS on tcp4/6 are straight causing crashes. Changing to google dns = immediately no crashes. YMMV - depending who/what/where the other ip's came from.

And of course - for the linux/proton/wine people that wander in and don't say so -
"WINEDLLOVERRIDES=winedbg.exe=d %command%"
(has only been given to me as a "fix" for others - goodluck with it)

And of course - the rest of the c000005's -.-

**and as of March 27, changing the language of windows to english is a valid workaround for "mostly confirmed" spanish users. OS/build/version/patches dependent.
