Did you verify game files, and that there are no mods installed for storymode? The game has had updates and the last few updates - instead of 'critical scripthook errors' - it would just crash.

If you have a 'mods' folder in your game folder - rename -old. If there is a dinput8.dll - remove from the folder. Of course.. battleye should be throwing an error now as well - unless you have since disabled that in the R* launcher, or with -nobattleye in various places.

Or, is this a 100% clean install that is failing to get online/ingame. Earlier many had some issues with the game constantly crashing but was largely resolved - though - some said it was fixed after uninstalling/reinstalling R* launcher/social club itself.

There's much more to this though - depending when the last time you actually played was. Many reasons to crash - clocks, os settings, corrupt directx, vcredist, drivers, background apps, overlays, mods, av/sec, admin/permissions, onedrive, corrupt saves, connectivity related issues, media feature pack or N/KN related issues, and more. The log files 'might' produce an error that is useful. Running the gta5.exe by itself 'might' also produce a useful error code.

Really need some more details to try to narrow it down otherwise.


edit - theoretically, if you verified the game files 'after' you copied over 'something' - steam would have fixed the 'legit vanilla' files. If there are mods in that folder - steam isn't fixing them or removing them. I'd be double checking.

Yes, cd key in use can be for a variety of reasons including a problem with admin/permissions for the profile/files and/or access to said file.. ala onedrive, controlled folder access, etc. There's other possible solutions but would have to dive harder there 'if' the problem continued.

i have tryed verfiying the game files and it still would crash around the loading screen i don't have any mods downloaded into the game because it's a clean install of GTA. However it is a older version of gta i think because i have a backup file of the game in another storage drive just so i don't have to reinstall the game through steam. so i copyed and paste it into the common folder where the steam games are installed into. then i went on steam to install it and i guess steam recognized all the game files was already there, so it went and installed. the other files that it needed. idk if that has anything to do with my problem but the game was booting up then but i also was trying to troubleshoot another problem that i was having, the game wanted me to verify that I have a C.D key and i copyed and paste the one i have but it keeps saying that its already in use. i went google searching and it said that i needed to delete my profile or my profile settings or something i forgot. then i think thats when i started having problems with the game launching but im not sure
