GTAV Rockstar can't connect to game services
Maybe someone can help me here. I am trying to play gta v with heroic games launcher. It worked perfectly for a few days but since today when starting the game, rockstar games launcher tells me it can't connect to the rockstar games services (code 134). I already tried reinstalling gta, the wine prefix, changing wine version. (I also installed GTAV in lutris and it works,)

I have the same problem on steam deck
fascinating-indigo•16mo ago
So to provide more info:
I run GTA V from Epic Games using Heroic launcher on Steam Deck.
I followed steps from here: https://github.com/CommandMC/EpicLinux/wiki/GTA-V---Heroic-specific-guide
After logging in I see Rockstar shop. Then I restart rockstar launcher (as expected in the tutorial).
Rockstar launcher tries to connect, but fails and shows screen attached (Polish language, but I believe you will know, the error screen)
I also attach logs.

Yeah, it the exact same problem for me. Just starting the rockstar games club works (but i can't play gta that way)
Using lutris works.
fair-rose•16mo ago
same problem, it doesn't matter which wine version i use, running launcher on the prefix has the "Buy now" button in place so can't launch through that
fascinating-indigo•16mo ago
Using lutris helped! Thanks @Chaotendavid
I just wanted to play gtaV, so for me it's enough 😄

How can you add go lutris?
Will the .exe work just fine without anything?
additional-chocolateOP•16mo ago
There should be a install script in lutris for GTA V. It basically installs the epic games store, which will download the rockstar launcher and you can import gta if you have it installed already
graceful-blue•16mo ago
Do I install epic games inside lutris then import gta that I already have installed. Is that the method?
additional-chocolateOP•16mo ago
yes
quickest-silver•16mo ago
if you need epic installed to run the game, you can also install the epic games launcher inside the GTAV prefix with the Run EXE on Prefix option in the game's settings in heroic
that might work (unless lutris does something else)
graceful-blue•16mo ago
The problem I think is happening is that the rockstar games launcher is detecting my steam deck as windows 7 or 8. They stoped the support for the w7 and 8
Thats why it doesnt work with heroic launcher
quickest-silver•16mo ago
you can change the windows version using winecfg (you can launch that from the game settings next to the winetricks button)
there's a configuration to tell wine which windows version to simulate
graceful-blue•16mo ago
You mean inside heroic @arieljuod
quickest-silver•16mo ago
yes, click the settings for the game, in the
Wine tab there are some buttons for winecfg, winetricks and run exe on prefix
we are doing some investigation to try to fix it
I think what happens is that lutris installs Epic Games Launcher and we don't, and in some new update the game assumes Epic Games Launcher is installed
I can imagine installing Epic Games Launcher in the prefix of the game using the Run EXE in Prefix option for now, it might work (I haven't had the time to test it yet)
if we find out an automated way to fix it, you can always import games in heroic, click the button to install GTAV but install installing there's an Import button in that dialog, you pick the folder where the game is installed and heroic should add that as installedgraceful-blue•16mo ago
Didnt work. Changed to windows 10 but the launcher say I'm offline
quickest-silver•16mo ago
I'll try to test the game at some point today or tomorrow, I don't have it installed (I don't even know if I have enough space xD)
graceful-blue•16mo ago
Thats why I dont like the steam deck
It makes it waaay more dificult to fix things
quickest-silver•16mo ago
we don't use the epic games launcher for anything, we use the
legendary project https://github.com/derrod/legendary because we don't want to depend on the official launcher for things to work
lutris uses the official launcher to install and run the games
not sure the reason but I imagine it's just easier than using a third party solution (one less thing to maintain), it does come with extra tracking and bloat though but I can't confirm their reasons
it's not that it's less maintained, it's an open source alternative so it's always updated after some time after something new happens in the official clienteastern-cyan•16mo ago
Any luck with fixing?
I'm having same issue on RDR2
SteamOS on Steam Deck btw
Yep
eastern-cyan•16mo ago
eastern-cyan•16mo ago
Appears only in RDR2 installed through Heroic.
In GTA V for example installed through Steam (not heroic) game and Rockstar launcher works normally
frail-apricot•16mo ago
same here
optimistic-gold•16mo ago
I have the same problem. Everything started yesterday, after updating Heroic App.
optimistic-gold•16mo ago
Here you have some logs. I am using macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 and CrossOver 24. GTA V is assigned to Epic Games account.
optimistic-gold•16mo ago
After several attempts, I reinstalled the application and unfortunately still the same message - code 134.
Is Lutris available on MacOS? Is it compatible with CrossOver? I have never used this app.
frail-apricot•16mo ago
So far I have tried various protons, installed lutris. still can't be played...
optimistic-gold•16mo ago
Is this problem more related to Heroic or to the GTA V game itself?
additional-chocolateOP•16mo ago
seems to be related to heroic as it workes with lutris for most of the people in this thread
manual-pink•16mo ago
launch rockstar in the same prefix, and then launch GTAV normally.
optimistic-gold•16mo ago
I made a rollback to Heroic 2.11.0 "Kumachi" and everything works!!!
additional-chocolateOP•16mo ago
i just used the install script provided by lutris for gtaV
optimistic-gold•16mo ago
Now I am facing the performance issue. The game runs with less than 30 fps, previously 60+ fps was normal. The reason could be in the new version of the Crossover. The DXVK is disabled and the app is crashing when I am trying to set it on.
additional-chocolateOP•16mo ago
I'll try that aswell
manual-pink•16mo ago
No, it has to do with GTAV itself. If I had to guess, someone installed EGL into their prefix by mistake and it will also work that way.
Epic Games Launcher
additional-chocolateOP•16mo ago
neither 2.11.0 nor 2.12.1 work for me
absent-sapphire•16mo ago
same thing. broke it for me the latest rocktargames launcher
adverse-sapphire•16mo ago
can confirm this issue
eastern-cyan•15mo ago
@ggs @fazzi
What games you trying to launch?
rare-sapphire•15mo ago
it also works for me on lutris
frail-apricot•15mo ago
how to ?
rare-sapphire•15mo ago
just install lutris and install Epic games launcher through lutris
adverse-sapphire•15mo ago
GTA5
Launcher didn't open up originally due to them stopping support for windows 7 and 8, so I went into winecfg and changed to windows 10
Rolled back heroic and I couldn't even get gta5 launcher to show up
extended-salmon•15mo ago
Having the same issue as well
optimistic-gold•15mo ago
Unfortunately, after first success with downgradeing Heroic to lower version the problem come back...
To everybody who used Lutris - what operating system are you using?
eastern-cyan•15mo ago
Bruh
Rly, after days of f*cking with this damn heroic I just gave up
And Installed Lutris
Steamos
Installed trough flatpak
fascinating-indigo•15mo ago
💀
Bruh I'm having the same problem
Lmao lets hope they find a fix
eastern-cyan•15mo ago
i have this issue too

@arieljuod
Any thoughts?
FFS
Why in the world this have to be such pain in the ass?!
exotic-emerald•15mo ago
please refrain from further outbursts and keep in mind that people are only able to attend to investigating your game issues in their free time
harsh-harlequin•15mo ago
To be clear, what seems to have happened is rockstar updated their launcher and games in a way that breaks when used in heroic. It will take some time to research the changes to rockstar's various software/games and make any fixes (if possible) that can resolve the issue.
Until then, it seems like there are workarounds, such as using lutris.
Remember heroic isnt made by a corporation. Its just a collection of people who work on it in their free time.
quickest-silver•15mo ago
can you try this workaround? https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1210747284086849578/1210747284086849578
optimistic-gold•15mo ago
I will check it later today! 🙏
The workaround works perfectly! Thank you so much!
additional-chocolateOP•15mo ago
works for me on nobara, both story mode and online
the idea seems to be to start the rockstar launcher before gta is launched
eastern-cyan•15mo ago
yep its work thank
stormy-gold•15mo ago
It works for me for rdr2 ! Huge thanks ! However I was playing rdr2 with another language and it now only boots in English . I’ve re-installed the game, changed system and rockstar launcher language again (which was already changed) but still no luck, anyone else has the same issue ?

Lutris says error when I try to install Epic Launcher
Hello, I'm the guy who opened the ti cket
For anyone just wanting a simple solution and not wanting to read the other solution(which I recommmed you do)
Install epic games with Lutris and use it until they fix Heroic
harsh-harlequin•15mo ago
fwiw works fine for me in heroic.. just follow the instructions exactly as arieljuod notes... im noticing most people posting havent actually followed every step
other-emerald•15mo ago
hii
im getting error 134 while trying to run gta 5.
other-emerald•15mo ago
im not sure why this is happening
harsh-harlequin•15mo ago
follow the instructions at the top of this thread
other-emerald•15mo ago
im new to this linux so can you please guide me thorugh it
also gta 5 was working in lutris before i installed gpu drivers from amd official sire.. epic games no longer started and it cradhed in lutris after this... i switched to heroic and now this is happening
harsh-harlequin•15mo ago
they say what i would say...? this isnt really anything about these instructions that make the actions any different than if they were in windows
rockstar recently made a change to how their launcher works, the instructions for the fix are in the first post
https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1210747284086849578/1210747284086849578
sorry there's a few rockstar posts thought this one was the one linked here
the instructions are pretty straight forward
