Need help starting GTA V
Hi, thanks for coming here.

I finished downloading the game yesterday. After some bit of trouble with Social Club finally I can proceed to start the game, but when I hit it, it says "Grand Theft Auto V exited unexpectedly."

So I searched some topics on this forums, watched some videos on YouTube, none helps. From what I found, I did:
  • Try to put DirectX .dll files to game folder (D3DCompiler_**.dll)
  • Reinstall Social Club.
  • Put somebody else .exe files to my game files then verify it with Steam (A bit stupid I think, but I found it on some solution).

But none helps. Is there any way to help me to kill this problem? Any helps are welcome. And thanks!

Go to Steam Library
GTA V - Properties -> Local Files -> Open Location of gta V - Find GTAV.exe and GTAVLauncher.exe and run in Windows 8 combability mode.

sorry for missspelling. stoned.
I'm in Windows 8, so the max options in Windows 7. Did that + tick "Start as admin" option, but no luck.

Aha sorry. Thought you had W10
So, anybody know how to fix this? Please?
Update,
So, I found some solution again, it said I need to check x64*.rpf MD5, see if it matches the one that works or not. So I did that, and everything matches. But the game still don't wanna to launch.
