And how I reinstall social club? If i run the uninstall in the C/Program files/Rockstar Games/Social Club folder, it gives me a message that says "All Rockstal Applications must be uninstalled before uninstalling social club" But I dont want to uninstall GTA V that is just installed. Also, Social Club is in the same folder in the x86 Program Files folder too...

Same issue here, I've tried reinstalling Social club and that didn't work. GTA V also didn't make a second user for me so that solution doesn't work for me too.. :cry:

The launcher is trying to access your windows user profile.

Fix it by not using any non-english characters like Æ/Ø/Å.

I couldn't figure out how to rename the profile folder, so I made a new user.

This bug occured because I have a " é " in my usual Windows account : " Cédric ".

 

I tried to remove it but it didn't work.

 

Only solution to solve that, create another account, but don't use special characters !

 

For exemple, just name it " GTA ".

 

Ensure it gets ADMIN rights.

 

Then switch to this new account, relaunch the Social Club by clicking on the game icon on the desktop and... tadaaaa ! :)

This still isn't resolved. I was expecting a patch or something but Rockstar have been totally silent. Still stuck at the loading screen on the Social Club app before the game starts. Only game i have on PC that doesn't work. Anybody else still having this issue?

Making a new account is nothing for me im expecting things to work as intended straight out of the box !!!

 

Silly really

Well i had that problem and I fixed it by changing my name in C:Users. My name had a ~on it so what causes the issue is the launcher trying to get info from that folder but if you have a special character in that folder name (~^´) the game won't succeed in getting the info it needs.

So all you need to do is change your C:Users:(Your name) to a name without any funny character. Google on how to do it. Its kinda complicated. So good luck. I can assure you it fixes that issue :)

Solved by Rockstar finally !!!

 

Just fired up the game and it downloaded the fix automatically and then it let me continue to entering the key... now downloading the extra 5gb (wish they could sort out the slow servers too) will take hours but one step futher to actually game wohoo
