GTA not loading at all since anticheat update?

[Lonk]

Whenever I try to start GTA V from Steam it stops on the little battleeye launcher thing and then this message pops up:
"Bloqueo de la carga del archivo: "E:\Steam\steamapps\common\Grand Theft Auto V\dinput8.dll"."
In english it basically says "File load blocked" and then my GTA path
Wtf is going on?
And just to clarify, I've never used mods

That dinput8.dll says otherwise. That is not a vanilla game file - it got there somehow, especially if you can go there, and see it. I'd view hidden/system files, and file extensions, and doublecheck your folder to just rule that out. You can delete it if you aren't modding storymode. For good measure, I'd verify your game files through steam afterwards.

You could also likely go to windows/system32, and copy the dinput8.dll from there, and paste it into the gta5 folder and see it if tries to overwrite the existing file, and of course, delete it afterwards.

Otherwise, you can open R* launcher, go to settings, and uncheck battleye. This will prevent online from working however. Some users have said this, doesn't work for them. There is also the -nobattleye parameter that you can put into gta5, launch options, or in a commandline.txt in the game folder as well.

There's additional info here for blocked files if that file doesn't exist in your folder.
(there are also users with multiple copies installed - something else to doublecheck)

Yeah I don't know where did that come from. I used to mod story mode but not on this PC.
I also verified the game files through Steam and it didn't help so that's why I tought it wasn't a malicious file.
Will check what you said about manually deleting it tho, thanks
