rocklegend Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 hiya, didnt know where to turn with this issue as i just installed the game (its not a pirate/copy) from the dvd and ran through all the steps of the procedure to install including signing up with a few different accounts such as live, and social club etc. Activated the game online too as part of the install procedure after the reboot, now its been validated as genuine verion, d/l & installed latest windows live game update thingy, rebooted ready for my first play.. got some software on my pc asking me to sign in with the social club thing, used my correct password and account ID but it says wrong password, (No i'm not using caps or numlok etc) It offers to send me the correct log in details when it says wrong password so i say yes, it arrives, its the same password details as i'm trying to put in. I know they are correct because I can even log onto the social club homepage by visiting http://socialclub.rockstargames.com and logging myself in manually with same dets successfully but i dont think i can play from there, think it has to be done from the log on software on my pc, which it keeps saying wrong password which is driving me nuts. Any pointers for a total newbie? (its a fresh install out the box and i hold up my hands when i say i dont have a clue but i'm 100% i followed all the instructions to the letter). Oh and I'm on XP Pro 32 bit version SP3 Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388729-social-club-log-in-software-doesnt-accept-password/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
logitechdog Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 hi only reason I can think of why it lets you log into social club but not the game one is if you have not linked your winLive account to it? on your profile > account linking > games for windows live as in the top right corner of the play window it lists the user name of your live account. Have you done that? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388729-social-club-log-in-software-doesnt-accept-password/#findComment-1058825248 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklegend Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) yeh, did that as part of the procedures, Games for Windows – LIVE account is linked same as xbox account but i dont even know why the xbox account was set up as i dont have an xbox, think it said that it was windows linked too, but i went and linked my Games for Windows – LIVE account also. its the social club log in it wont let me in from the piece of software on my machine, whilst i can log in using correct/same dets from the homepage to social club but once on the web page and signed in dont know what to do next. Think you have to start the game by going through the social club log-in software on the pc? (or at the very least use the software log-in for the first time before it lets you go via the website in the future).

logitechdog Posted December 30, 2008 Share Posted December 30, 2008 You get the valadation email? ye but you can use the skip login, if you want to play offline Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/388729-social-club-log-in-software-doesnt-accept-password/#findComment-1058825296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocklegend Posted December 30, 2008 Author Share Posted December 30, 2008 You get the valadation email? ye but you can use the skip login, if you want to play offline Yup i got the validation email and clicked on the url and it activated the social club account. I dont know if i want to play offline, i think i would prefer interaction online in the social clubs/bowling/comedy club/strip club etc and amongst other players. Sounds more fun than playing an offline game. played an offline game on a console once and found it really boring thats why i'm trying to get online, for some spice.
