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?

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

I mean your browser should have been opening a tab for you to do that

dry-scarlet•3/9/25, 11:07 PM

Do you use Heroic itself within Steam?

dry-scarlet•3/9/25, 11:07 PM

Because that prevents such stuff

awake-maroon•3/9/25, 11:31 PM

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

Just OOC, what did they do?

dry-scarlet•3/10/25, 12:22 AM

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

dry-scarlet•3/10/25, 12:23 AM

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

dry-scarlet•3/10/25, 12:23 AM

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?

dry-scarlet•3/10/25, 2:59 AM

how did you add it to steam

verbal-lime•3/10/25, 3:01 AM

Through Heroic
