Stuttering issues

The custom radio station can cause some extra strutter.
This can be lessened by restarting the game once in a while, or by lowering certain graphical options.

Infinite load

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

Textures not loading correctly

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.[7]

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

Benchmark appears broken

Instructions

Crashes when using the Right Mouse button in a car or switching to other character

Most likely it will happen if you'll aim with any kind of throwables in the missions like "The Jewel Store Job", "Caida Libre", "Blitz Play" and "The Big Score".
Instructions

Issues fixed

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.
Instructions

Game crashes during missions

The game crashes at random, with no error code, during cutscenes and missions where the game automatically switches between characters.

  1. 1.0 1.1 File/folder structure within this directory reflects the path(s) listed for Windows and/or Steam game data (use Wine regedit to access Windows registry paths). Games with Steam Cloud support may store data in ~/.steam/steam/userdata/<user-id>/271590/ in addition to or instead of this directory. The app ID (271590) may differ in some cases. Treat backslashes as forward slashes. See the glossary page for details.
