Update has Broken Some Versions on PC
Since the update many PC players are reporting that they cannot enter the game and get different errors telling them to reinstall the game. However this does not seem to fix the issues, so maybe wait on that until we get more information.
This is very likely and issue with the anti-cheat, but we'll know more later this morning.
Some have reported that disabling voice chat fixed their issue.
Update:
A patch has been released on all PC platforms. Close the game and apply the update.

can confirm I now no longer can launch the game in any capacity after verifying my game files. Haven’t fully reinstalled yet, because if I uninstall it i’m not installing it again lmfao.

not sure if you already deleted your settings folder, but as long as you have voice chat disabled you should be able to access online now.

Did some research if you can call it that.
Went through all settings, turning everything on and off, setting it all to high and low and changed keybinds.
It seems like the only reason GTAO crashes might be because of Voice Chat.
Turned it on and the game crashed upon loading Online, but with VC turned off it works completely fine.
Could also be cuz of older saves or something.
Just rename the Rockstar Games folder so the game makes a new one and don't enable VC

Do i disable voice chat in the story mode settings? I'm on Steam version. If i understand correctly, it's rename folder, start up game, and then disable voice chat. Or am i wrong about this?

Sry if I explained it badly.
If you rename/delete (doesn't matter which one you choose) the Rockstar Games folder in Documents it resets all settings, you can apply all your previous settings again, but not VC let that shit be turned off.

u/masd_reddit 17d ago
Alright thanks, i'll check if the game works without having to delete the folder as i've never used the voicechat anyways, so it might be turned off already. If it does crash i guess i'll have to reapply all my settings which does suck. Average Rockstar experience i guess
2
u/_BLXCK0UT_ 17d ago
Yep it sucks, but I'm not completely sure what caused GTAO to crash
could be outdated settings since they added some or some other shit.
That's what I did tho and it fixed itself
Only Rockstar knows what BS they did again

People from my crew did delete the launcher and social club folders but soon as they touch something in settings, it crashes again.

u/tomilovsenya 17d ago
Worked indeed - renamed Rockstar Games folder in Documents, logged in and all seems fine now...
UPD: Yeah, it crashes if you change settings.

u/NationDomination12 17d ago
Some say try to play without turning VOICE chat from settings, if you touch that, it crashes

u/Hopesinker 17d ago
What do you mean "renamed Rockstar Games folder"? What did you rename it to?
2
u/tomilovsenya 17d ago
Any name so the game doesn't see it - instead on fully deleting it.
2
u/Hopesinker 17d ago
Gotcha, appreciate it! Which setting did you try to change when the game crashed? Or does simply accessing the Settings menu crash the game?

Can load into single player, get the ERR_STR_MISSING error when I load online, invite only or otherwise, tried to reinstall didn't fix it. Hopefully fixed soon I was already tilted by both planes being dripfed.

Damn... best laughs in a while, only Rockstar things :D

u/AnthoSora 17d ago
This update is so broken, the entire crash problem with voice chat, alt tabbing doesn't show program previews anymore (its usually a bug with very old programs) im unable to take screenshots in the game using sharex (which always worked before), game keep starting windowed despite putting it again in borderless each time, and i get even lower fps than other fps on a litteraly beast of a computer

u/Luquet93 17d ago
Well for me i can´t even get into Online. When i´m in the loading screen it shows me this after like half way of loading in. I tried reinstalling the game multiple times, even the launcher itself, tried to verify the game multiple times and i still get that error massage. So i guess i just have to wait.

u/No_House_3313 17d ago
Yes thank you very much to the person who found out disabling voice chat works. I was on my way to redownload 100+ gb game. #THANK YOU

To be honest I’ve been having problems since the Mercenaries updates that got even worse since Battleye got installed. Now, launching the game completely blue screens my computer.
I spent about two weeks going back and forth with Rockstar’s support and doing a full on exorcism on the game just to fix nothing.

u/SM_GotMail 14d ago
My game is still broken. I don't play online and run a modded game, I've been modding the game for years and know how to update the game and keep the mods, this time I've ran into an issue where it runs the game but no launching and stays like that until I click exit on the Rockstar launcher popup that says the game is currently running. I reverted back to a previous version instead because this update is completely broken.

Good thing I had check here before try to reinstall......
(It will be pain in the ass to dig out the whole set of discs and re-install the game on my PC. So since it's not going to fix the problem, I'm not going to try it at the moment.)
(Mine is physical version and didn't link to Steam)

u/KarateKrieger 17d ago
if you have the physical version you can still download it with R* Launcher once you enter the CD Key on it

I play on the PC and I have had no problem logging into the game. Then again I'm playing Invite Only.

u/tomilovsenya 17d ago
Yeah, keep having ERR_STR_MISSING crash trying to access Online on Steam version. Steam friends don't seem to have this somehow...
