i think someone stole my account, when i try to launch gta, launcher says to me "Couldn't sign you in automatically, please login manually using (some random fake account that is not mine) i tried talking to support but they are not responding , im tired of hackers on gta bro

contact rockstar support > gta v > online play > cant login > pc > compromised account

Use live support and recover it.
Don't want to accuse nobody but in the dark corners of the Internet where modmenus and modders are there are talks of it that some certain menu has infected thousands of pcs and details have been taken not just rockstar password etc.
.

Could also be you played from a random pc and it had malware already or a friend see your details or some people have bought money recoveries and the same thing has happened then also.
.

Just contact rockstar online support, the wait times are up to 10 minutes and your issue will be resolved pretty quick if you pass the security related questions about your Rockstar and steam account.

Never share your stuff. Especially people who aren't living with you under the same roof. It is also a violation of steams subscribers agreement and could also get your steam account suspended.

Best of luck in recovering the acc and talking to your friend.

i cant even play on another account? i tried creating a new one but the linking account message still there

^ Nope. Piles of info in link (on recovering, livechat, unlinking info, etc) -
https://steamcommunity.com/app/271590/discussions/0/5841781924528022951/#c5841781924528030605

In your case, if the time your friend borrowed it was 'limited' you could check your emails for the recovery email - and undo the change yourself. YMMV obviously.....
(info also in the links)

edit: Months later - why not post the typical info/response here too -

Join the neverending flood of this nonsense since Jun 2023. Much info - click and read -
(includes info that can -hopefully- fix this without R*) -

tl;dr/lazy - use this link below to contact R* without logging in to RECOVER your account/fix/change email to one you have access to. Yep, many hoops to jump to prove you are the owner, have the steam account, cdkey etc, and days to wait/repeat yourself. They may even ask about shark card purchases or account link days as a form of verification - remember if you got one in a 'combo' when you got the game. It could likely count 'on their end'.

Don't unlink, contact R*, fix the email/recover the account.

No, you must use rockstar support to change the email back otherwise you can't play. My bet is your friend either downloaded a free menu that had malware in it ( the menus when launched can log all key pressed if infected with malware) or he tried to get money on the account that involved him giving your steam username and password and rockstar account logins to the person.

If I where you I would change your steam password and secure other accounts ASAP to avoid even more stuff being tsken/changed.

You should buy 30 copies of the game and make 30 new social club accounts am sure they won't all get hacked unless you like giving out your passwords

Rockstars has nothing to do with it. The issue lies between the chair and the pc screen.

I am reminded of 2008 when me and some friends were pretty hardcore into World of Warcraft... we had "that one friend" who swapped accounts with randos so they could try different max level, reasonably geared characters in PVP without the level up grind.

By 2010 that one friend had access to none of the accounts, no characters, and I had a max level of at least half the classes.

Still have that account with all available classes maxed up to whenever the hell it was when I stopped playing.

Moral of the story: Friends should have boundaries and accounts and passwords are personal.
