this steam account is already linked to a different social club account

[Ultimo]

So i linked the GTA V key to my NEW social club account.
But my steam account is linked to my OLD social club account, therefore i cant play with any of the accounts...

I contacted Rockstar and Steam support, now hoping on a quick response.

BEWARE!

Just make sure you log in with the correct Social Club that you want to link with your Steam account. If you have more than one Social Club account, find the one you want to use and log in with that.

Once a Steam account is linked with the Social Club it's permanent - unless Rockstar support can remove the link. Right now that's not happening and people are being told it could take a week to get a solution for that. It seems they're having to change their account system now to make it possible.

Okay, thanks for the info. But I am left wondering why people would have more than one account on Steam for Rocksteady? I have a WB account for Batman Arkham Origins and I also used the same account for Shadow of Mordor. The only thing I can think of is if you have multiple Steam IDs.

In my case I had a really old Social Club account associated with an email address that I no longer use. I have access to the email address, but it's one I don't use. I wasn't aware that this had been linked with my Steam account - or at least permanently.

When I got GTA V on PS3 I signed up for the Social Club with my current email address and linked the game there. That is the Social Club account I want to use so I can get the returning player content, but my Steam account is locked to the other Social Club profile.

I can't comment on why other people have more than one Social Club account, but they may have similar situations with old email addresses etc.

So the accounts can be used cross platform. Now it makes sense. Thanks for the info ;-)

They just unlinked my account and I can play now! :)

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

We have unlinked your Steam from your old Social Club account. You are now good to proceed to link Steam to your new account.

If you have any further questions, please let us know.

Best regards,

Bowan G.
Rockstar Support

They answer fast after the last quote of text I posted here. Maybe this motivates you!

I provided pretty much all of the information in my original ticket that they asked from you. The only thing I didn't provide from that list of stuff was a copy of my Steam transaction history, but I did confirm the CD key and provide a screenshot of that from my Steam library.

[Xeisu]

@Rhinne: Same here. I originally posted everything except the Steam transaction history, because I googled for a similiar case and they showed that steps for Max Payne 3 earlier. I guess my MP3 doesn't work now. Have to download it first.

I also assume they won't check your first post at all and you get that automated message, even if you've provided everything. But as I said they answer really fast after they've replied at all.

Regarding Max Payne 3:

At this time, that is the case. We do not have an ability to "merge" accounts.

If you have any further questions, please let us know.

Best regards,

So you won't be able to play MP3 anymore if you want to. Or you buy a new CD-Key, I guess.

I haven't had my Steam account unlinked. I got a refund on GTA V and bought it again so I could link it with my old Social Club account because I got tired of waiting.

All I need now is the returning player status transferring, if that's possible. If not I will unlink my PSN from the other Social Club and link it to this one to see if that flags my PS3 GTA V profile.

Rockstar contacted me finally, and unlinked the accounts!

[germanTHX]

No go ahead and finally play the game!

[Ultimo]

I already played, i applied family sharing on main account, and used my second account to play gta V from main account..

So my social clubaccount with gtaV registred, was linked to secondary steam account.
I just send a request to also unlink that account, will update on here ofcourse.

When did you guys contacted them for the first time? I did it Monday, 6 hours before the launch itself. Still no valid response, just copypasted stuff. I made double-sure to send them valid screenshots/info asap.

I contacted them at 1:30am, 90 minutes after the game was released. That was three and a half days ago.

I contacted them 52minutes after launch.

Finally got a valid un-copypasted response from them (snipped away the unnecessary parts related to my specific boring and complicated issue):

Hello Samozrejme,

Thank you for contacting Rockstar Support.

Sorry about the delay, but I'm sure you understand that the situation is a little complicated. Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to unlink or transfer game keys, however we can unlink Steam accounts so that you can link whichever Steam account you like to whichever Social Club you like.

Problem is - I already made a secondary Social Club account which is already permalinked to my GTA V CD-key and THAT can't be removed. Meh, got myself to blame for not being patient enough, no hard feelings.

[Rhinne]

The only thing I need them to do now is transfer my returning player status, if they can.

If not, I'll just miss out on that content - or buy it when it inevitably becomes DLC for the rest at a later date.
