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.
Memory leak
Players have reported a memory leak while playing Grand Theft Auto V[6]. A possible temporary fix is setting the virtual memory to be managed automatically by the operating system as instructed below.
"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
Random crashes
Issues fixed
Computer unresponsive for a few seconds after alttabbing
Unable to Detect Windows Media Player Error
Game 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'.
Game 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.
