GTAV says Buy
I own GTA V on EPIC but when heroic launches the game and Rockstar launcher opens, the launcher says that I have to buy the game. What’s the fix for this?

GitHub
Rockstar Games from Epic Games
A games launcher for GOG, Amazon and Epic Games for Linux, Windows and macOS. - Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher

I should’ve check back here before I deleted the game. I’ll try again
This worked btw. Thank you. That’s a lot of tinkering. Rockstar needs to do better

it actually used to work fine without tweaks, but they intentionally made it this way now

Did the thinkering from Github and now launches
But now i get that Authorization pending window

Sometimes it takes a long time for that to finish iirc

inb4 didnt allow browser pop up for Rockstar and EGS to interact
inland-turquoise•7mo ago
also that

How could I fix that problem?
ratty-blush•7mo ago
I mean your browser should have been opening a tab for you to do that
Do you use Heroic itself within Steam?
Because that prevents such stuff

this thing is just waiting, there's no browser windows poping up for that message
ratty-blush•7mo ago
No, i had the very same when i first installed enhanced

hmmm, weird I never got that with either GTAV nor RDR2, maybe it depends on the account? 🤷♂️

at least I remember reports of users saying it just got fixed by waiting, but I've never had that error so I'm not sure

Just OOC, what did they do?
inland-turquoise•7mo ago
the anti cheat stuff, futzing with their launcher to work with EGS in some weird peculiar way, rather than what everyone else does, and i dont really know why they would have made that change other htan to prep r* launcher for intent in gta6 and future rockstar games, who knows
that and they dont support linux or heroic so any change they make on a whim for whatever reason means it could break heroic/wine etc
and like they make these weird changes intentionally i couldnt say why tho haha

Anyways, that is what happened to me at least ( pop up required for that to not happen again ) , since that delta dude doesnt respond ( probably got the solution and fled ) we will never know if that was the same or not

Mine is already working with this fix but it's only working if I launch the game through Heroic, not in steam library when I added it there. Is there a fix for this?
inland-turquoise•7mo ago
how did you add it to steam
environmental-rose•7mo ago
Through Heroic

I didn't get it to work so I give up and i'll play it on windows unfortunately
extended-salmon•7mo ago
out of curiosity, will there be an update for heroic in a way heroic automatically does it for you?
correct-apricot•7mo ago
that's the plan, we haven't had the chance to finish it yet, in involves different moving parts from different people
extended-salmon•7mo ago
ahh okay, good luck!
inland-turquoise•7mo ago
I couldnt tell you. This is specific to rock star and requires a fake binary to trick the launcher into working. So seems unlikely
