Grand Theft Auto V exited unexpectedly - Rockstar edition

Grand Theft Auto V exited unexpectedly - Rockstar edition - Red and White Vintage Car

Hi after downloading GTAV from the social club plus all the updates I am receiving the error "Grand Theft Auto V exited unexpectedly".

My Asus ROG G751JY specs are:

  • Intel® Core™ i7 4860HQ /4710HQ Processor
  • 24GB DDR3L RAM
  • NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX980M 4GB GDDR5
  • 1TB HDD 7200
  • SSD With 256 GB RPM

I have tried the following none of which solve the issue

  • Launching GTAVLauncher.exe as a shortcut with the -verify option
  • Updating my Nvidia drivers to version 355.98
  • Updating my realtek audio drivers
  • Setting audio output to 44100hz 16bit
  • Adjusting properties of GTAVLauncher.exe and GTA5.exe to run in Windows 8 compatbility mode (I'm running in Windows 10)
  • Launching GTAVLauncher as administrator

I have attached a number of files to hopefully help see what the issue is

  • Screenshot of the error

Best Answer

I've had the exact same error (although my game version differs a little bit: 1.0.573.1).
For me, it helped to delete the GTA5.exe from the game directory, start the launcher and let it redownload the exe.
