Windows 10 compatible ?

[(°-° )]

Since i have updated from Win 7 to Win 10 the game won't start anymore.
It just hangs up in the launcher and thats it ...
I used to switch the compatibility mode from the GTAV.exe and from the GTAVlauncher.exe but it still won't work

did you played on win7 before?

create a backup of your Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles folder and delete this.
lets see if that can fix your problem

Thanks! That worked for me!

HI I did, I followed your advice but no change. Since then I have uninstalled and reinstalled social club and GTAV completely, launched the game with no firewall on and tried to launch from the steam app folder using the exe.

I can sign into social club so I know there's no problems with that. I am completely stumped!

Does it say in game specs Windows 10 ? No ! Windows 10 is not supported for GTA 5 , confirmed by R* support !
That is why some people can run it and some not .
If you installing Windows 10 and GTA 5 be prepared to have issues with it .

Have you just purchased the game or just downloaded now? If purchased you can get a refund from steam.

Some people should buy a console and dont try to play on pc.
You better pay another 50 bucks for some computer lessons on the public community college in your neighborhood.

Can you give some more details about the crash?

Did you already checked the Event viewer about the crash log?

click start button of win10> searchline enter Eventviewer> start the eventviewer > in the eventviewer click on windows protocolls, then application> check the Info in the middle of the window for failure messages related to the gta5.exe application.

pls post this crash log especially if any .dll file has caused it, "direct input failure" or "err_gfxd3d_init"?

Error message is not specific enough.

another good thread maybe you will find a solution there

A lot of third party programs + certain antivirus software(you have to create an exeption for gta5 folder) lead to trouble when trying to play gta5

for example

Astrill vpn tool
Sandori toolbar
D3dger recording tool
Watchdog app for smartphones, not the game

it is not enough to deactivate them, you have to deinstall them in most cases, when you want to play gta5 at the moment.

Outdated driver which were not correct deinstalled before the installation of newer ones can cause trouble too.

Check your firewall if gta5 is allowed to communicate.

Eventviewer can always help when gta is crashing because it indicates the broken modules or .dll, which causing the problem.

Sometimes files were corrupted in the gta folder because it is 60gb big.
Check integrity of the game
click in Libary right click on gta5> property/Option > gamedata > check game data for failure

...how the flying hell-on-earth does a f*cking smartphone app, again, a smartphone app, cause problems on a computer?

[ALMANZAR]

my solution was simple... since i just downloaded the game, i havent logged in on rock star games, just on steam. I ran the game launcher directly from installation folder and thats where i was asked to log in on rockstar, after that... the game launched normally on steam.

i tried this too but in my case it didn't even start with the error : didn't launch over steam client ...
