Notes
|
Broken benchmark
At the end of the second mission, you will arrive at Franklin's house. Sleep in the bed to save your game and do the benchmark in the options menu from there[citation needed] |
---|
Game launches at weird resolutions, unable to change resolution in-game or by altering files
Right click on desktop, open Nvidia Control Panel. In the menu located on the left side of the window, under Display, click "Adjust desktop size and position". Under option 2 "Apply the following settings:", tick "Override the scaling mode set by games and programs.
|
---|
Heavy game stutter/stutter in general
Open the task manager and close, or either directly delete, the "RzSurroundVADStreamingService" service. Only viable if you have Razer Synapse installed[citation needed] |
---|
If you have a monitor that has higher refresh rate than 60Hz (like an overclocked monitor) you might want to set the refresh rate manually in the settings menu in game and then switch VSync on. Also go into the Nvidia Control Panel and turn off Shader Cache, set Maximum Pre-rendered Frames to 1, Threaded Optimization to On and put on Single Display Performance Mode.
This fixed the remaining stuttering I had[citation needed] |
---|
ERR_GFX_D3D_INIT
Switch DirectX version[citation needed] |
---|
|
ERR_GEN_ZLIB_2
The error message usually means corrupted data files. A manual action is required to solve the issue.
Verify the game's cache or redownload the game. Or also you can launch GTAVLauncher.exe with parameter -verify. Make shortcut of it, go to properties, and in "target" just add -verify after GTAVLauncher.exe. Game will verify integrity of the files, and download again corrupted files.
Or follow this guide[citation needed] |
---|
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.
Unplug your USB controller. If that doesn't work, try launching with just your mouse OR keyboard[citation needed] |
---|
Unplug other USB attachments. The Mayflash DolphinBar will cause this problem. |
Delete gamepad/controller driver or library[citation needed] |
---|
Faulting application name: GTA5.exe Faulting module name: 811EZFRD64.DLL
|
Restore your mods folder |
---|
If you have mods, and you renamed mods folder to have stock game (the method could just stop working properly - you can delete dinput8.dll instead in some cases) |
Game crashes during missions
- The game crashes at random, with no error code, during cutscenes and missions where the game automatically switches between characters.
Enable Landing Page[citation needed] |
---|
|
No NPC (Tonya) outside Franklin's house to start first obligatory Strangers and Freaks mission
See here[citation needed] |
---|
Or make sure you have folders mpchristmas2 and mppatchesng with dlc.rpf file inside, in location \update\x64\dlcpacks. Manual download available in description of the video |
Stuttering during gameplay
Disable the custom radio[citation needed] |
---|
Keep the graphical settings under the video memory limit[citation needed] |
---|
Play in offline mode (see below for instructions)[citation needed] |
---|
Change Windows sound quality[citation needed] |
---|
|
Set Graphics settings in Nvidia Control Panel[citation needed] |
---|
|
Use "-FrameQueueLimit 1, or alternatively 0" command line parameter[10] |
---|
Limits the frames that are pre-rendered. Reducing them can also reduce input lag and smooth things out a bit.
|
Use "-framelimit 1" command line parameter[11] |
---|
Locks FPS on 30 FPS, or 60 FPS if performance is high enough. "-framelimit 2" command is just 30 FPS cap. These settings can reduce CPU/GPU load and increase game stability if game oscilates near these FPS values.
|
Use "-disableHyperthreading" command line parameter |
---|
It can help people with older machines.
|
Consider turning on Game Mode in Windows 10 |
---|
Use update 5 (1.0.350.1) of the game[12] |
---|
Begin the whole process by logging normally into Social Club account online once - otherwise activation in offline mode fails, and clicking retry won't help. Make sure you have deleted all newer updates than patchday5ng and older in \update\x64\dlcpacks\. Leave previous patchdayXng folders. metadata.dat, update.rpf, GTAV.exe, GTAVLauncher.exe, and Social Club specific version have to be gathered from external source, relevant to the files of update 5. Also preserve previous mp_xxx folders until the update 5, otherwise, some missions may be unplayable (eg. Tonya will not appear outside the Franklin's house - christmas2 and mppatchesng). To uninstall your current Social Club version without uninstalling your games from Rockstar see. Play offline mode (or with -scOfflineOnly parameter) with logged/saved account before, to avoid game updates.
|
Change settings of page file |
---|
For 8GB/16GB RAM users it can be set: in field initial size - 400, and in maximum - 16000, for 4GB RAM - 8192. The best setting for game beeing installed on eg. D: drive is to have page file disabled on all partions except C: (system's partition will be used for page file globally - make sure you have enough space). If you possess second HDD beside the one on which you had installed the game, use it instead of C: for pagefile. Besides, SSD may behave as the fastest for this purpose. If you have slow HDD with 4GB RAM, set ~6GB in the field "initial size".[15] Further instructions here And also be aware that 5400 RPM 2.5" HDDs on 4GB cause textures disapering during gameplay. |
Change settings of V-Sync |
---|
If works, FPS boost will be most noticeable nearby the area of grass. Working confirmed by Nvidia users (so far). |
Use ReadyBoost Windows function |
---|
Plug in pendrive, and RBM on it in My Computer, go to ReadyBoost, then click "Dedicate this device to ReadyBoost". Since now, game may stutter less on 4GB RAM configurations (mostly during intensive using HDD and page file during the game). Before playing, make sure that process System, SysMain, or svhost.exe (LocalServiceNetworkRestricted -p) stopped using disk. The last one can be closed in Resource Monitor.
|
Change the operation system version |
---|
Play on Windows 7 (x64 required) when using low amounts of RAM (2 or 3GB). Game stutters much less on 7 than on 10 on 2 and 3GB of RAM (e.g. while running on low details). |
Download GTA V Priority Launcher (intended for W10) |
---|
It is a script which closes certain process and changes priorities until the close of the game. Among many others - subprocess.exe termination command added, gtavlauncher.exe priority lowered - all those help maintain stability on weak CPUs. Just load the game world before running the script. Download site Script for offline mode users.
|
Disable "Control Flow Guard" in Windows Defender[16] |
---|
Use this instruction. Turning off CFG globally is a major security breach, but in case of GTA V, may be required in case of encountering errors.
|
Use InSpectre |
---|
|
Download Battle Encoder Shirase |
---|
|
Unable to play offline
Use the -scOfflineOnly command line argument[citation needed]
|
---|
Missing mfreadwrite.dll
GTA V account keeps disapearing among other Social Club accounts
Delete manually other profiles |
---|
Go to %USERPROFILE%\Documents\Rockstar Games\Social Club\Profiles\ and delete all folders except the one with GTA V folder inside \Titles. |
Update Download Issues (Retail Copies Only)
- If you are experiencing trouble downloading updates with a retail copy of the game (e.g. repeatedly losing connection, restarting download from scratch etc.) you should use the -verify -noChunkedDownload parameters with the launcher:
Set GTA V Launcher Parameters |
---|
Full instructions here
|
Game crashes while loading when Grass Quality is set to High or above or MSAA is set to 2x or above
Uninstall Nahimic for MSI or Sonic Studio for Asus |
---|
Infinite loading of story mode
Delete your saves[19] |
---|
Navigate to your "Documents" folder and Find the "Rockstar Games" subfolder. Delete it, even though you may lose saved game states and all of your progress. Then just normally start GTA V and it should work again.[20] |
Rockstar Game Launcher black infinite loading screen
Update your GPU drivers[21] |
