Fans of GTA 5 are faced with an unpleasant situation when, after installation, the game does not start. Or errors appear during the installation process. Let's figure out what the reason is and fix the problem. The methods presented in the article are suitable not only for GTA 5. If not enough, the problem remains unresolved, read other materials on the site.
GTA 5 won't install
If GTA 5 does not install, check if there is enough free space on your hard drive. The distribution requires free space, so a few gigabytes of extra space won't hurt. Many modern games require a significant volume.
Installing GTA 5 is blocked by antivirus
Often, antivirus programs, in the fight against viruses, protecting our computer from external threats, for security purposes, block numerous processes performed by the operating system. Sometimes such security is so strong that the antivirus blocks access not only to viruses, but also suspends some normal processes, perhaps by mistake, considering them potentially vulnerable. Disable your antivirus during installation.
Cleaning the computer and restarting
Sometimes, a simple reboot of the system can immediately solve many problems that arise both during the installation of games and their subsequent work. The same applies to programs and applications. There are many reasons: the computer is clogged with garbage, the system cache is full, the maximum allowable number of simultaneously running processes, some may be frozen and not running, but they put a load on the system. Cleaning the computer and restarting will fix the situation.
No Internet access
Some game clients during the installation process require an Internet connection, providing access to the installation server or update server. Make sure the quality of the connection, and if there is no Internet, be prepared for problems when installing GTA 5. It's good if the system displays an error message. And if there is none, you can think for a long time and wonder why the toy is not installed.
GTA 5 won't start
Before looking for reasons why GTA 5 won't start, make sure the installation itself was successful. Otherwise, if there were failures during the installation process, but at the same time the game was installed, it is impossible to guarantee the subsequent launch and performance. If it starts - lucky. What will happen next is unknown. Remember the installation process.
Reinstalling the game
Many gamers have repeatedly encountered a situation where they had to reinstall games. Apparently, this is the case when reinstalling GTA 5 will fix the problem. It is not known what this is connected with, maybe the antivirus or firewall "ate" some files or something else at the time of installation, but after installing the game again, it starts up and works. Uninstall GTA 5 and reinstall, paying attention to every detail during this process. Perhaps at some point the program will ask for additional files, etc.
There are times when installing on top of an already installed game solves the situation. The installer may offer to update the files. Thus, there is no need for removal. Well, something like this.
Finding information by error text
Another option. Problems when starting GTA 5 are usually accompanied by a corresponding system message. Specify the text of the error in the search, as a result of which you will receive the most detailed answer, and, moreover, regarding this particular problem. Actually, the decision will not keep you waiting. This way you can pinpoint the cause and fix the problem.
By the way, for some reason I always forget about it. Until I turn over the whole computer. But this the method works for all 92%. It is enough just to score the text in the search and find a useful article. So you will definitely solve the problem, you do not need to send the PC to the workshop ahead of time and incur additional costs. There is a lot of useful material on the Internet - study it.
Running GTA 5 as administrator
Run the game as an administrator. In our case, to run GTA 5 as an administrator, you need to right-click on the game's shortcut and select Run as administrator. Subsequently, if this method solves the problem, make it the default. Open the Shortcut Properties, in the Compatibility tab, and check the box Run this program as an administrator.
GTA 5 is not compatible with the system
Another obstacle to running GTA 5 may be incompatibility with your operating system. In this case, all in the same place, in the Properties of the shortcut, add the checkbox Run the program in compatibility mode, select the desired OS from the drop-down list.
.NET Framework not installed
A very serious problem with launching GTA 5 is the lack of an installed .NET Framework library on the computer, which ensures the launch and maintains the performance of programs and applications, including games. This is a prerequisite and Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed on your PC.
There are different versions of the .NET Framework. The presence of any one of them on the computer cannot sufficiently guarantee the correct operation of the program. If, for example, the library is already installed on the computer, but the game requires it, download and install it. Restart your PC. The previous version will not be deleted or overwritten. They will just work together.
Use programs that will prepare your computer for the correct operation of the game, help to avoid many problems and errors.

Availability of DirectX
Perhaps the most important condition, a requirement that must be met for games, including GTA 5, is the presence of an installed . No toy will work without it. Almost all distributions that require DirectX installed already have this set in their composition.
As a rule, DirectX is installed automatically during installation. If it is not in the distribution, download and install. It is not necessary to do this before installation, it is possible after, but the presence on the computer is simply necessary. Download links are located above.
What to do if GTA 5 is not working?
Do not despair if you have already gone through all the ways and nothing helps, the game does not work. Perhaps these tips will seem too vague, incomprehensible, errors are still present. Check again, did you do everything right? If necessary, download another GTA 5 distribution, if purchased in a store, contact the seller (manufacturer) for help. Maybe the disk is corrupted, something is missing. It's normal, quite natural, it happens. Use a different distribution and install the game again.
As a last resort, there are situations when the operating system is still incompatible with GTA 5. Update the system using Windows tools (via Update Center). The game will work. If the manufacturer indicated compatibility, then he is responsible for this. Update your operating system.
Reinstalling the OS is a last resort. Not sure about statements like "the operating system is pirated... assembly... won't work..." or "a hacked, pirated toy - throw it away ...". The moment that is worth your attention is to remember if there were any similar problems with other games, in particular those similar to GTA 5. And if problems were observed, this suggests that it may be time to update something in the system or reinstall. Thank you for attention!

GTA 5 and error 0xc000007b
This application was unable to start correctly (0xc000007b). The most common reason for the error when starting the application 0xc000007b is problems with NVidia drivers.
Possible Solutions
- Reinstall video card drivers
- Try running the game as administrator
- Install/update DirectX, Visual C++, .Net Framework. Download all files only from the official Microsoft website.
- Open the Run command prompt from the Start menu and type sfc /scannow. With this command, your PC will scan the system files and fix some errors.
- Remove unnecessary software that may conflict with the video driver. Basically, these are various "improvers" of graphics. The fewer additional applications you have running, the better.
Method with Dependency Walker 64bit
If you have any USB controllers (or other devices) connected to the network, try disabling them. Startup crashes with crash module names ntdll.dll and EZFRD64.DLL can (for the latter in particular) be related to USB controllers or PS2 to USB adapters (for various games).
If you are experiencing api-ms-win-crt-runtime-l1-1-0.dll errors on Windows 7 or Windows 8.1, Microsoft has released a patch to fix the issue.
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2999226
If you receive an error message MSVCR120.dll, go to C:\Windows\System 32 and look for "MSVCR120.dll". Delete this file. Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\GTA 5\_CommonRedist\vcredist\2013 and run "vcredist_x64.exe". Then click "repair" (fix).
Black screen GTA 5
A black screen as well as a white screen or other colors can mean various errors, however, most often this is due to a certain error on the part of the video card, and sometimes the RAM module can be the culprit. Also, disable CPU and/or GPU overclocking if used.
Ways to solve this error
Try running GTA 5 in windowed mode
Windowed mode on Steam
- Open the Steam Library
- Right click on GTA 5 and go to "Properties"
- Open the General tab and select "Set Launch Options"
- Add -windowed
Windowed mode via .exe
- Right click on the desktop shortcut of the game and open "Properties"
- In the line "Object" after the quotes (") add "-windowed"
- "C:\Games\GTA 5\Bin\Win64\GTA 5.exe" -windowed
Close programs for capturing video
The cause of the black screen may be video capture programs: OBS Studio, AMD ReLive, Ezvid and others
In addition, applications related to video processing in games can cause errors. For example: VibranceGUI, Nvidia Freestyle, etc. All kinds of mods can similarly cause errors. Use an elementary rule: the fewer programs running simultaneously with the game, the better. Remove everything unnecessary.
Control not working in GTA 5
Remove the input device (gamepad, mouse) from the USB and reinsert. If the mouse and keyboard are not working, then try disconnecting the gamepad and other USB devices.

Optimizing GTA 5 on PC
This is a pretty big topic. There are many steps you can take to increase productivity.
GTA 5 Optimization Tips
Update your video driver
Nvidia/AMD
Lower your graphics settings
This is the first thing to do. Put the minimum resolution and the lowest graphic settings. Shadows, anti-aliasing, and textures have the biggest effect on performance.
Use component overclocking
Assuming good cooling, you can try to overclock the processor or video card. Keep in mind that manufacturers often warn that overclocking a video card will void its warranty, although this will be difficult to prove. Don't forget testing. If the temperature of the video card exceeds 90°C, then you should lower the changed parameters, and then retest. Also, do not try to overclock the laptop. You can find more information on this subject on the Internet.
Use a special program from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel
NVIDIA GeForce Experience / AMD Gaming Evolved / Intel HD Graphics Control Panel - programs with a variety of tools, including game optimization.
Free up disk space
On the Internet, you can find a large selection of utilities for cleaning your computer. CCleaner is one of the popular utilities of this type.
Disk defragmentation and cleanup
Open the disk properties. Open the "Tools" tab -> click the "Defragment (or Optimize)" button. Use also check (tab "Service") and cleanup (tab "General") of the disk.
NVIDIA / AMD Control Panel
Open the NVIDIA (or AMD) Control Panel, select the Manage 3D Settings (NVIDIA) tab, or Games -> 3D Application Settings (AMD). Here you can set global graphics processing settings if necessary. Alternatively, select "Adjust Image Settings with Preview" (for NVIDIA), then "User Settings -> Performance" by dragging the slider to the left.
Remove stuff from startup
Click the Start button (lower left corner). Type msconfig in the search box, press Enter. In the system configuration window that opens, select the "Startup" tab (in Win 10, press CTRL + ALT + DELETE and select the same tab). This is a list of programs that automatically load with Windows. Disable all unnecessary programs (do not remove applications unknown to you from startup, otherwise you may disrupt the download). Restart your computer. Temporarily disable applications (antivirus, Skype, etc.). Launch GTA 5.
Make Windows more efficient
Turn off Aero effects in Windows, deactivate search indexing, unused libraries, and more.
Flash drive as RAM
Right-click on the flash drive and select "Properties". Open the "Ready Boost" tab, check the "Use this device" checkbox.
GTA 5 freezes
Frequent lags may indicate problems with the computer. Remove video card and/or processor overclocking if used. Run diagnostics on your hard drive, RAM, CPU, and video card. Special applications can be downloaded from the Internet. Be sure to check.GTA 5 crashes without error
Try temporarily disabling your antivirus (especially with Avast!). See also tips in the startup errors section.
DirectX error in GTA 5
Errors like: DirectX Runtime Error, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_HUNG, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_REMOVED, DXGI_ERROR_DEVICE_RESET.
- Perform a clean install of only the graphics card driver. Don't install audio, GeForce Experience... Same for AMD.
- Disable the second monitor (if available) and any other peripherals.
- Disable G-Sync.
- Use System File Checker
- For NVIDIA cards. Right click on desktop -> NVIDIA Control Panel. At the top where File, Edit, View... click "Help" and turn on "Debug Mode".
- Sometimes the cause may be overheating of the video card. Use the FurMark utility to test your graphics card under load. Try lowering the frequencies. For more information, see the Internet on request: undervolting and lowering the frequency of the video card.
GTA 5 stopped launching
What changes did you make on the computer? Perhaps the cause of the problem was the installation of a new program. Open the list of installed programs (Start -> Add or Remove Programs), sort by date. Remove newly installed ones. Reinstall GTA 5.
Also check the task manager. If copies of GTA 5 processes are running, end them all.
"Not enough memory" error
Possible reasons: the game does not have enough RAM; there is not enough space on the hard disk for the paging file; you yourself adjusted the size of the paging file (or disabled it, or used software); some program is leaking memory (open task manager CTRL+ALT+DELETE and sort apps by memory consumption).
GTA 5 - BSOD or Blue Screen
BSOD usually means some kind of serious problem on your system that is not related to the game. First, check your power supply. If it overheats, it will turn off. Also, if the system does not have enough power from it, then various errors are possible, including BSOD. Test other components of your PC. On the network you can find various utilities to check the memory, hard drive and video card.
GTA 5 stuck in processes
Run GTA 5 in compatibility mode for another OS.
Sometimes the problem is the Nvidia GeForce Experience driver add-on. Disable all optimizations for the game in it.
On AMD graphics cards, the Gaming Evolved (Raptr) application can create problems. Try temporarily disabling or deleting it.
If you have Nvidia Capture Service in your task manager, try ending the process. End other processes related to video capture.
Update your video card driver.

GTA 5 not full screen
Press ALT+ENTER. Check the game settings (window mode, resolution, etc.). In some cases, changing the refresh rate (in the Nvidia control panel) from 60 Hz to 59 Hz (click "Apply"), and back to 60 Hz, helps. Another way: also in the Nvidia control panel, go to the "Adjust the size and position of the desktop" section. In the upper right corner, click "Restore".

How to get rid of errors in GTA 5 Online on PC?
Why GTA 5 Online doesn't start on PC
If GTA 5 Online does not start on your personal computer, then you first need to determine what the problem is. Sometimes difficulties arise if you use codes for GTA 5 - the game can simply crash at such moments. But the main reason, oddly enough, is SociaClub in the game. It also happens that it is simply not installed, or was accidentally deleted, or requires updating, which is not even reported to the player. To do this, go to Steam, look for GTA5, right-click open the properties of the game - local files - view local files - the GTA folder on your computer - the Installers folder - the SocialClub.exe file, which you need to run and go through the entire installation path. Then we reboot and try to start the game again.
Err No Launcher Error
Several possibilities to correct this very common mistake:
- There are not enough additional programs installed, or they are unnecessary versions - Net.Framework, Microsoft Visual C ++, DirectX - they need to be removed and the latest versions reinstalled.
- Problem with video card drivers. We also update to the latest version.
- There is Cyrillic on the way to the game. Let's say you have a folder called Games, and GTA5 is installed in it - rename Games to 123, GAMES, ddfdjsfl - if only in Latin.
- A problem may also arise if the PC user is named in Cyrillic, such as Vasya Pupkin. Renaming to Latin helps.
- Sometimes the antivirus deletes a file called 3Dmgame.dll. To get it back, you need to install the game by disabling the firewall and antivirus.
GTA5 on Windows 10
- Always try to prioritize High in processes in GTA5
- Run the game only as Administrator.
GTA5 endless loading. Hang Launcher
Owners of Windows 8 suffer from this problem. The algorithm for solving the problem:
- Create a folder called My Documents in the root of drive C.
- We find the My Documents folder and go to its properties, open the Location tab and change it to a new address - C:\My Documents
Unfortunately, buying a licensed game does not always mean that you will not run into problems and bugs... This happened with GTA 5 as well - for many players the game simply does not start. As we have found out, there may be several reasons for this. Below we provide known solutions to run GTA 5.
GTA 5 won't launch at all
First of all, check that your computer meets the minimum requirements. Very often, this problem occurs with owners of gaming laptops - they have several video cards installed (built-in and discrete). If this is your case, then follow these steps:- Open "Device Manager"
- Disable discrete graphics card
- Launching the game
- Immediately turn on the discrete graphics card
Not loading Social Club for GTA 5
Is the Social Club loading slider running forever? The problem is probably in the name of your Windows profile. The game saves its data to the "My Documents" folder and it is very important that the path to this folder contains only Latin characters. For example, in Windows 8, the path to the My Documents folder actually looks like this:
C:\Users\Vitaly\Documents
As you may have noticed, there are Cyrillic characters in the username in the path. How to fix it? Follow our instructions:
On the system drive (usually the C: drive), create a new folder "Documents"
Right click on "My Documents" and click on "Properties"
In the window that opens, go to the "Location" tab and specify the path to the new folder (for example, C: / Documents /)
Click the "Apply" button and agree with the warnings
After that, you can start GTA 5 and this time Social Club should load successfully!
Are you missing something or are you unable to? Especially for you, we shot a video clip, which shows in detail how to fix GTA 5.
If you still have questions or have something to add to this information, please follow the solution in
After purchasing GTA 5, many users have encountered various problems and errors. The game does not start, a notification pops up informing about the lack of a file, etc. On this page we present you solutions to the most popular problems in GTA 5.
First of all, make sure your computer meets all the minimum system requirements for the game. So you will discard the most common user problem - the mismatch of characteristics. - this is a relatively new game that does not have good optimization, so it will not work on weak computers.
Mistakes and Solutions
One of the most common mistakes when installing a game is "ERROR _NO_ LAUNCHER". It appears only for users of the pirated version and means that the launch application (3dmgame.dll) is missing. Usually, this file is blocked by antivirus, so the solution is rather banal - turn off the antivirus and download 3dmgame.dll again.
Social Club error- the second most popular problem of the players. When you try to start GTA, a notification appears on the monitor screen, which is directly or indirectly related to the "social club". For the error to disappear you just need to reinstall "Social Club" with admin rights enabled.
If you have missing textures- this indicates that the computer needs RAM (or problems with the graphics chipset). The solution to this problem is simple - you need to go to the Task Manager and set the game process (GTAV.EXE) to high priority.
If an error appears on the screen "Initialization of directx 9 is not possible", then you have an outdated version of directx. Try install directx 11 and restart the game again. There may also be a problem with the steam client. It just needs to be reinstalled for the notification to disappear.
Error "Err gfx d3d init. Program has terminated." and others like it are also related to directx. On an AMD video card, the game will not display correctly when installing directx 11 (too many fancy features that eat up additional video resources). For GTA 5 on AMD graphics cards, directx 10 is perfect.
Most often this happens due to the use of Russian letters in the Windows account. The simplest solution is create a new account without cyrillic."Calling zlib failed. Please reinstall the application or reboot the system"- this is one of those few cases when you should heed the advice of the program and reinstall the GTA V game. Most likely, the problem lies in the damage of some files. You can try to fix errors using a disk, or just enter the verify parameter into the command line (commandline.txt).
To fix the error "Err gen invalid" will have to spend a lot of time. Usually, when it appears, the game crashes and no longer starts. There is only one solution - download the OpenIV application and, following the instructions, try to remove the error.
"Error starting application 0xc000007b"- means that your computer has problems with the operating system, or rather, with the video card drivers. The obvious solution follows from this - update drivers and restart PC. You can also try reinstalling DirectX. It is likely that the problem will disappear.
"ERR_SYS_INVALIDRESOURCE_5" or "Game data is corrupted". Common mistake the only solution is to completely uninstall the game(you can leave the save). Then just download the game again and the error disappears.
"Error code 202" means you have an outdated version of Social Club installed. Please update Social Club to resolve the issue.
If an inscription appears on the monitor screen "Unrecoverable error, please restart Grand Theft Auto V", then, no matter how sad it may sound, rebooting will not help here. This message occurs only when the operating system is missing some components. They can be downloaded using the winSDK package (located on the official Windows website).
The game crashes when launching the application, and on the screen "error 0xc0000142". A common error among Windows 8 users that occurs when one of the necessary system files is corrupted. There can be many solutions: restarting the computer, fixing compatibility, running as administrator, updating DirectX, etc.
Error while accessing memory. Just transfer the game to another drive.
bex64 error- another popular problem of gta 5 users related to the launcher. To solve it, you just need change account name to english.
Mechset.ini- a problem with one of the files. First you need to check if there is a checkmark next to "read-only" on the Mechset.ini file. Next, just run the game as an administrator.
One of those errors, the solution of which the developers themselves helped to find, is Appcrash. There is one way out of the situation - reinstalling the client with full or partial removal of old graphics settings. Of course, you can suffer for a long time with disk defragmentation or reinstalling Directx, but there is simply no guarantee that this will work, because. in 80% of cases, only a complete removal and reset helps.
"Launcher error code 115". She only appears in the licensed version of grand theft auto 5. You just need to reinstall Steam and the problem will disappear.
Sometimes, during the installation of the game, the screen appears error code 16. It is linked to the Social Club client and has a very simple solution. Necessary download the game launcher from the official website of the studio, after updating the version of directX. After that, the problem should disappear.
Error 201(a problem with social club services) is found by many users of the licensed version of Grand Theft Auto V online. To solve it, you need update Social Club.
Component transfer error appears if the files on the disk are corrupted. It is impossible to restore the disk, but you can use the activation code and download the licensed version of the game for free.
isdone dll error when installing gta 5 indicates the absence of software components. The WinSDK update package will fix the problem. It can be downloaded from the official Windows website.
msvcr100.dll file error. "msvcr100.dll" is a component of the Visual C++ library, so you need to update it to resolve the issue. You should not download this file from third-party resources, because. there is a risk of catching a virus that is dangerous for the operating system.
WerFault.exe is a program that sends operating system error reports to servers. Sometimes, it consumes too much memory. If you get an application error "WerFault.exe" on your screen - feel free to go to "Services" and disable the service of the same name.
