Gta V Unrecoverable Fault Fix
GTA 5 PC Errors And Fixes: Command Lines, Crashes, Poor Frame Rate, Memory Issues And More. A few tech tips for Grand Theft Auto 5.
So GTA V on PC isn’t the perfectly polished gem we were promised. As disappointing as that is, it’s the reality we must accept, thus we’ve compiled a walk through of fixes and tweaks that should hopefully get you up and running. Please be advised that the following methods are to be used at the sole discretion of the platform owner. GamingBolt or its staff members take no responsibility for problems that may arise or issues that may occur from trying the below. Always remember that official support is always the best support.
If the game is crashing when launched with Nvidia cards, you can resolve this by opening up your device manager window and disabling your Nvidia graphics card. Once you’ve successfully opened the GTA V Launcher, you can enable the card again.
GTA V Memory Leak: At this time, this is a problem with the game and not your PC hardware. The following steps might resolve the issue temporarily. Open your Computer Properties Panel and open the System tab -> In the Advanced Settings Tab, click the settings beneath Virtual Memory, then click change -> Clear the Automatically Manage Paging File Size for all drives->Underneath Drive [your drive name goes here], click the drive where you OS is installed. ->Click the radio button System managed size and then click Set, OK, OK and one last OK. You may need to restart your rig again.
Should you receive the message, “Connection to Download Server Lost. Reconnecting…” message, you may want to try just waiting. This seems to happen if you’ve purchased the game directly from Rockstar or Green Man Gaming. Should you receive the “Unable to Detect Windows Media Player” message, navigate to your control panel, add/remove features, turn windows features on/off and then check the Windows Media Player tab.
GTA V Black Screen, Screen Flickering and CTD On Startup + Poor Frame Rate: Ensure that you are up to date on the latest drivers from AMD and Nvidia. If problems are encountered when trying to launch the game, try verifying the integrity of the game cache through Steam. To do this:
- Right click on your copy of GTA V
- Select the Properties tab
- Click on the local files tab and then click “Verify integrity of game cache.”
Should you receive the message, “The Rockstar update service is unavailable (code 1)”, then you need to create a new Administrator Account on your PC with a name that only includes letters from A to Z in the basic roman alphabet. Numbers 0 through 9 can be used too. Once this is done, restart and login to this account before continuing with the installation process.
Should you receive the message, “ERR_GEN_ZLIB_2 Failed zlib call. Please reboot or reinstall the game.” You must verify the game cache, as detailed above, or reinstall the game from the discs you purchased. Should this fail, attempt to use the Discs repair function.
If you’re struggling with importing your MP3 files into the game, open DocumentsRockstar GamesGTA VUser Music and copy the songs you wish to have in the game into this folder. Once in-game, perform an audio scan.
Reducing Vram To Increase Overall Performance:
- Exceeding the capabilities of your game with the memory limit option will result in a crash.
- Try lowering your settings by changing some of the heavy hitting effects.
- DX11 users should use FXAA rather than MSAA for the difference in memory.
- Vsync should be disabled.
- Turning down population density, the distance scaling and the texture quality will increase performance.
- Normal Shadows still look fine and consume much less memory than higher settings.
- Tessellation is a heavy load process and should be disabled.
- Reflections and Ambient Occlusion also drain memory, disabling these may help.

Note: Given that the wide range of PC hardware out there, the fixes mentioned here may or may not work for you. But it’s worth giving them a shot since these have worked for players who own the PC version of Grand Theft Auto 5.
Some players have been struggling to install and play Grand Theft Auto 5, so we've rounded up some of the most common problems we've seen so far and included advice on how to resolve them where possible.
If your problem isn't listed, Rockstar's support page is being quickly updated with new issues, so keep an eye out there. Also—standard practice—check that your GPU manufacturer hasn't put out a new driver update, and make sure Social Club, Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1, and DirectX are up to date.
'The Rockstar update service is unavailable'
If you're getting 'the Rockstar update service is unavailable (code 1)' when trying to install the game, or the launcher is crashing to desktop. Rockstar Support has already released a workaround for the issue. It's caused by Windows usernames with unconventional characters.
Basically, if the Windows username you're using features any characters not included in this handy list, then you'll need to sign in with another user account, or else create a new one. It's only a temporary solution—Rockstar is working on a fix as we speak – but if you can't wait to get started, it's good enough.
Simply changing your Windows username won't work, Rockstar reports, and if you do choose to use a different account in the meantime, you're advised to restart your PC before continuing.
On launch Steam briefly displays 'installing' window, then nothing
Chris is reviewing GTA for us, and has had problems launching the game that are unrelated to the above Windows username error. Specifically, Steam displayed an 'Installing' window for a few seconds and then closed, after which the game wouldn't load. Fortunately, he's found a possible fix.
Open GTA 5's install directory, found by right-clicking the game in the Steam library, going to 'Properties', and clicking 'Browse Local Files' in the Local Files tab. From there, go into the 'Installers' folder and manually install the Rockstar Social Club through the installers found in that directory.
From there, it should load normally—although we think some of the problems are due to a Rockstar Social Club connection issue.
Nothing happens when trying to start singleplayer or multiplayer
This seems to be a problem affecting mobile GPUs. We've been unable to test it yet, but MustacheEmperor on GTA 5 Reddit proposes this solution.
'Open device manager, go to display adapters, and disable your nvidia device so only the intel card is enabled. After launching the game re-enable the nvidia card quickly. The game will then work. Seems like there's a compatibility problem with mobile nvidia cards.'
Unpacking problems
If you preloaded GTA 5 be aware that the unpacking process requires tons of spare hard drive space, and is quite slow. I needed about an extra 60GB of memory overhead above the initial 60GB for the game to fully install. Fortunately the file shrinks back down to 60GB when installation is finished, but if unpacking hangs, try making some more room on the HDD.
Social Club failed to initialise message
Rockstar's says: 'The most common cause for these errors is an incorrect installation of Social Club. If you are receiving one of these errors, we recommend uninstalling Social Club and then reinstalling it manually from this page.'
If you have the Steam edition, verifying the game cache can help—right click the game in Steam, go to properties, hit the local files tab and click the verify integrity of game cache button.
Rockstar also recommends running the game as administrator (right click Social Club, choose 'Run as Administrator') and checking that the Social Club is installed in the right place—Program FilesRockstar GamesSocial Club.
Infinite loading on Rockstar Social Club
Rockstar's advice: 'If you are stuck loading, auto-signin may have failed. Press the Home key and see if you can log in manually.'
If that doesn't fix it it seems that Social Club is struggling with launch demand. Repeated tries can get you in, but it's not likely to ease off until the demand reduces or Rockstar bolsters the system.
'Unable to detect Windows Media Player' issue
GTA 5 won't install without Windows Media Player, it seems. An easy fix. Open the Control Panel, go to Programs, then Turn Windows Features On or Off, and then check Windows Media Player in the Media Features folder. When you press OK it should install.
Don't run the benchmark
This is an odd one. The benchmark test loads a bunch of different timelapse landscape shots to test your rig, but also seems to launch the single player campaign at the same time. The first mission starts, then there's a nice shot of a mountain. Then a bridge. Then the game tells you that you've failed a mission and your only option is to Alt-F4 out. Best leave it alone for now.
These are some of the most common issues we've seen discussed around the web. Do you have a problem installing or launching GTA 5, have you encountered any workarounds that have helped you get into the game? Share your wisdom in the comments. Update: We hear that the benchmark works, but only if you beat the prologue and run it from in the game (not the initial menu) and are not in a car.
