KidBosnian Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 SO I waited so f*ckING long for this game. It's literally felt like YEARS. I thought, WOW today is the day. I sat there on the forums like the rest of you hyping the release. Everybody hops onto steam and is ready to play. And what do you know? I can't play it. I was stuck on the same social club BULLsh*t this whole day because of my computer's user name. Because of this :C:\Users\leeth_000 because of one character: _ I HAVE LITERALLY WAITED FOREVER. And this happens. Other people play the game while I sat here this whole day looking for non existent fixes. I can't believe this whole day went by and I wasn't able to play. I thought I was done waiting. I GUARANTEE Rockstar will not fix this tomorrow or the day after or even in 2 weeks. BECAUSE OF A f*ckING LINE. A LINE. If that's not bad luck then I don't know what is. Also I want to play this game NOW. So when will there be a fix hmm? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KidBosnian Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 I TRIED. AND GUESS WHAT? Apparently Microsoft Services are having "Network Problems" right now. BAD LUCK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThePlake0815 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 This was already a problem with older games (a friend could not play Dead Rising 3 online, due to special characters in his name). You never encountered any problems before with such a name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KidBosnian Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 Nope. Is it an easy fix? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePlake0815 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 well... For now you need to change your user name to make it work. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrcatrabiceps Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) I had the same problem with an "ã" in my name. Try to change your my documents folder source. Create a new folder and do this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/310147 *when it asks for move all files to the new folder I put "no" and worked fine. Then uninstall your social club and install it again. Here's is the link where I downloaded it. https://support.rockstargames.com/hc/en-us/articles/200146066-Manual-Link-to-Social-Club-Application-Download I hope it works for you.

Tried the 2nd part, and it said that all rockstar applications need to be removed BEFORE removing social club. I have already installed GTA 5 a 2nd time, I don't want to do it a 3rd time. Thanks, but it didn't work. This should not even be a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kampret Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Use this: http://www.eightforums.com/tutorials/9650-built-administrator-account-enable-disable-windows-8-a.html Then install GTA V through the built-in Administrator account. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClearSky86 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 I can't run it because of a 'special character' in my name, but I won't change anything around my Windows username. It's their job to fix it, not mine BTW.. Why has this anything to do with the game anyways, this is ridiculous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wgreen25 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Just wondering, does (space) count as a special character, meaning if my Windows username is John Doe, will that be likely to cause issues with installation of GTA V on PC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braindawg Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) "Oh, I made a username that causes problems, lets blame rockstar and post a pointless rage thread on the forums..." GJ dude.. Edited April 14, 2015 by Braindawg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
