Issues unresolved

"The Rockstar update service is unavailable (code 1)" error on launch or hang when updating

This issue is caused by an incompatibility with certain characters in Windows user names.
A future update will patch this issue; in the meantime it can be worked around by making another Windows user account.
Instructions

Infinite load

Infinite load may occur when the location of %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\ is changed.[citation needed]

Memory leak

Players have reported a memory leak while playing Grand Theft Auto V.[5] A possible temporary fix is setting the virtual memory to be managed automatically by the operating system as instructed below.

Instructions

Textures not loading properly

Players have reported textures not loading and buildings + roads disappearing while playing Grand Theft Auto V. A possible fix is setting your CPU priority to high.

Instructions

"ERR_GEN_ZLIB_2 Failed zlib call. Please reboot or reinstall the game"

Rockstar has commented that the redownload of the game will fix this error.[6]

Possible workaround: http://www.reddit.com/r/GrandTheftAutoV/comments/32jif5/potential_fix_for_failed_to_load_zlib/

Benchmark appears broken

Instructions

Random crashes

Instructions

Game crashes and logs out of Rockstar Social Club when RMB is pressed during certain mission phases

Game will crash on certain missions if RMB is pressed, usually in a vehicle, usually in heist missions. Known crashes:

  • When assuming control of Franklin for the escape in the Jewelry Store heist
  • When driving the 18-wheeler you loaded in the first mission of the Merryweather Heist
  • Driving the garbage truck to the getaway in the FIB heist.
  • Any given in-mission "transition" where the camera zooms out over the city as you switch between characters
  • Problem occurs every time after through-weapons like grenades are used and you try to fire normal a fire arm inside a vehicle afterwards at anytime for rest of the session. Only restart of the game prevents this.

You will be kicked back to the Rockstar Social Club launcher and told that your account has been used to log in elsewhere. Also affects online missions, specifically heists.

Issues fixed

Computer unresponsive for a few seconds after alt-tabbing

Instructions

Unable to Detect Windows Media Player Error

Instructions

Launcher does not open (Grand Theft Auto V Launcher has stopped working)

This can happen if you have a laptop with a switchable graphics feature - doesn't always resolve the issue, therefore not 'resolved'.
This issue was fixed in the latest patch.
Instructions
Instructions

Launcher does not open (GTAVLauncher.exe just stops, no error messages)

The game tries to open, Steam shows you as in-game for a few seconds, then nothing happens and Steam shows you not in-game anymore. Sometimes WSAFault.exe is seen as a branch of GTAVLauncher.exe in Task Manager when it crashes.

Instructions

Game does not open ("Grand Theft Auto V has Stopped Working" generic Windows error)

The game makes it past the launcher. However, when the main game loads it crashes instantaneously leaving you with a black screen, or the Windows error prompt.
