gta v

rockstar is trying to make me buy gta even tho i have it on epic. already downloaded the fix.bat file that was recommended, and it did nothing. when looking at the log file, the last line says

wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\Z:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.

wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\Z:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.

wine: Read access denied for device L"\\??\\Z:\\", FS volume label and serial are not available.

i've tried looking on the subreddit as well, but haven't see anything helpful

the log shows that you are not using the fix.bat workaround

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:00 AM

yea i reread the post and didn't see the part where i had to set it as the alternative executable, im rerunning it again to see if it works

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:00 AM

it infact did not

awake-maroon•12/20/24, 4:00 AM

try changing the 2020 in the fix.bat file to something higher like 30 or 40

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:04 AM

still nothing

hmmm, not sure what's happening

there's another solution that works better but requires more work (we are looking into automating it), but if you have the skill you can try the instructions using this github repository https://github.com/Etaash-mathamsetty/heroic-epic-integration

ill give it a try, thanks for your help!

awake-maroon•12/20/24, 4:24 AM

actually, I think you can download the custom .exe file from https://github.com/Etaash-mathamsetty/heroic-epic-integration/actions/runs/12343488613 without having to compile it yourself

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:25 AM

so just download the file and drop it in the same location as the executable?

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 4:26 AM

you need to edit the fix.bat as mentioned in the first link

awake-maroon•12/20/24, 4:26 AM

download the .zip.zip file
extract the
```
.exe
```
```
.exe
```
file from inside the zip
rename it as EpicGamesLauncher.exeEpicGamesLauncher.exe
copy that .exe file inside the GTAV install directory (next to the PlayGTAV.exe file)
create a text file called fix.batfix.bat with the content start "" EpicGamesLauncher.exe PlayGTAV.exe %*start "" EpicGamesLauncher.exe PlayGTAV.exe %*
set that fix.batfix.bat file as an alternative exe in the game's settings

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:28 AM

wheres the zip file?

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:28 AM

my b i never rlly understood the github interface

awake-maroon•12/20/24, 4:35 AM

you can get it from https://nightly.link/Etaash-mathamsetty/heroic-epic-integration/actions/runs/12343488613/win-portable.zip

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:35 AM

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:36 AM

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:37 AM

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:38 AM

colossal-harlequinOP•12/20/24, 4:40 AM

moderate-tomato•12/20/24, 8:16 AM

@cassie for me the game didnt boot after that 1 time when it showed the rockstar laucher. where can i find this fix.bat?

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 8:26 AM

gta v

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 8:26 AM

last bullet point

moderate-tomato•12/20/24, 8:35 AM

I followed those steps it says "Rockstar launcher is already running" but the R* launcher never starts
fix.bat

start /B "null" "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Launcher\LauncherPatcher.exe"
ping -n 20 localhost > nul
start "" EpicGamesLauncher.exe PlayGTAV.exe %*

start /B "null" "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Launcher\LauncherPatcher.exe"
ping -n 20 localhost > nul
start "" EpicGamesLauncher.exe PlayGTAV.exe %*

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 8:35 AM

you didnt follow the last step.

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 8:35 AM

the fix.bat is only the one line

moderate-tomato•12/20/24, 8:35 AM

ah okay wait

moderate-tomato•12/20/24, 8:37 AM

could you also tell me which crossover/wine version to use?

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 8:38 AM

you can only use crossover 24 paid or whiskey (with some very specific settings) for gtav

moderate-tomato•12/20/24, 8:42 AM

using wisky 2.3.4,
enable esync, msync
alternative exe: /Users/lazylinuxer/Games/Heroic/GTAV/fix.bat

moderate-tomato•12/20/24, 8:42 AM

with no window, no rockstar launcher

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 8:43 AM

i dont know anything about mac, but you should post your logs

moderate-tomato•12/20/24, 8:54 AM

okay, I relogged with epic games and now it's going thru the installation and setup process of R* launcher. after it's successful installation I cannot get the launcher to run or the game. ill share the logs

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 9:04 AM

i dont know the settings for whiskey but it wont work out of the box in whiskey you need special settings

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 9:04 AM

its in one of the other gtav threads

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 9:07 AM

gta 5 on mac

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 9:08 AM

truthfully though, the mac is probably the worst gaming machine, it only works sometimes.. if you really intend to play lots of games id get something else

moderate-tomato•12/20/24, 9:22 AM

start /B "null" PlayGTAV.exe %*

ping -n 20 localhost > nul

GTA5_BE.exe %* -useEpic -fromRGL

start /B "null" PlayGTAV.exe %*

ping -n 20 localhost > nul

GTA5_BE.exe %* -useEpic -fromRGL

this fix.bat made the GTA5 launch but im not logged in into the rockstar launcher how do i login? the R* launcher doesn't launch when game's starting

moderate-tomato•12/20/24, 9:23 AM

I agree with you originally had asus scar 16 (4070) endup returning bcs of QC issues.

moderate-tomato•12/20/24, 9:23 AM

anyway i just want to see how well GTAV works on mac. I don't play that many games.

Mmoderate-tomato so ``` start /B "null" PlayGTAV.exe %* ping -n 20 localhost > nul GTA5_BE.exe...

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 9:34 AM

no.

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 9:34 AM

i specifically linked the whiskey settings, not the fix bat

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 9:35 AM

the fix bat you need is in the post above:
gta v

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 9:35 AM

you follow those steps

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 9:36 AM

then use the whiskey settings if you are going to use whiskey from the link i gave above.

dry-scarlet•12/20/24, 9:36 AM

otherwise gtav requires the paid crossover 24

gta v
