hey bro, just want to thank you in 2024. I have been trying to fix my rockstar not opening for about a week now, have watched hundreds of internet pages on supposed ''fixes'' but none worked. have tried all youtube videos, none worked. Now after following your steps it finally worked thanks so much!!!
What he said! you are a fuckin G and i wish i could smash that like button for you 1000 times. THANK YOU 5 HR LATER (wish i woulda clicked your video 1st)
I'm pretty speechless after doing stuff you told me to.. My iCue is not working anymore and these steps also removed Red Dead Redemption 2 from my PC, which is over 100GB file, which takes me many, many hours to re-download again.
I JUST came across this video & bro I want to say THANK YOU! THANK YOU for this video, thank you for the information! I’ve been dealing with “rockstar games failed to load online and offline content” for a week and now I finally got it working again! Thank you brother
i recently got gta 5 through the rockstar launcher and everytime i start trying to download the game it says my gta files or the rockstar launcher itself has corrupt files, i've completely wiped my system and tried reinstalling everything multiple times and it doesn't work what should i do?
Thank you so much dude, ive been trying to figure this out for weeks after my buds wanted to get back into GTA V after like 2 years of not playing it. 100% earned a sub.
after I deleted the folders you told me to delete I cant delete the Rockstar game launcher & rockstar games social club it says " it cannot find the folder for the 2 application im trying to delete I think that's because you told me to delete those folders before I can even uninstall the apps.
if you cannot delete the base "Rockstar Games" folder you need to load windows 10-11+ above into safe mode by fully restarting the computer going into safe mode by pressing "F8" onto the computer going back to the rockstar games folder and deleting it. the error occurs when ether.. A. you recently reset the computer, and one drive reinstalled it improperly forgeting files. B. you didn't properly uninstall by deciding go to the root files and uninstall manually by deleting the files. C you had modifications for a multiplayer server/single player, and it wasn't properly placed ont the direct folders/ "modification" area. F8 > Safe Mode. ThisPC/Documents/Rockstar Games/
@@spudgunner7075 Thanks bro but I already fixed it I just went to add & remove programs option of the game uninstall R* app & installed it again along with GTA 5.
Thank you so much you’re the best person I know right now on UA-cam but thank you you’re so so so kind for helping all of us like you don’t know how much this means to me. Thank you.
when i go into delete installed apps and type in rockstar it says C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Launcher\uninstall.exe Windows cannot find 'C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Launcher\uninstall.exe'. Make sure you've typed the name correctly, then try again.
A shit ton of thanks to you bro i deleted so much files and everything then i found u i was so stressed it wont work then i would have to delete gta that took me 3 days to download so big thanks bro i appreciate it so much.
Thank you so much dude, I had this problem where the launcher froze on where it said "connecting to rockstar game services" and i couldnt even close it. This helped me alot but one thing i would mention is it worked without deleting the microsoft visuals things. Thanks again!
When I’m on the rockstar launcher and click play for gta it says loading but it seems to freeze and doesn’t actually load up gta just stuck on loading will this fix that issue?
Whenever I tried finding the rockstar game launcher and rockstar game social club app in the program section, It wasn't letting me delete them. Is there any way to remove them?
purchased the game on steam,and it itself downloaded the Rockstar Launcher but the launcher is running in background not displaying on the screen and game also not launching.Tried everything u said but no progress .
Thanks for taking the time to make a video. Unfortunately, didn't work for me. I still get failed to initialize errors after rebooting and reinstalling the launcher.
have you got the game working? I have followed the instruction from the video and it's still doesn't load. Same like you, my game went fullscreen for two seconds then it closes itself out.
hey i need help when i go to delete the file it wont let me beacus the bower_cahe_settings.dat is open and i dont know how to close it so i can delete the rockstar folder
my rockstar games launcher won t even open up after did all of these steps,idk what to do,i bought rdr2 and gta 5 and can t play cuz i got this problem,it was fine until now,wtf,maybe reinstalling win 10 would fix it?
Worked great, the only thing you neglected to add is that this deletes your game and you have to reload it. People with slower connections, this will take hours.
If the solution works, at least the users can play the game now. Previously, they could not play the game at all, so a few extra hours of waiting should not matter as long as they can eventually play the game.
This process wasted my time and forced me to reinstall the entire game, certain programs, and manually mod my game again. Totally could have mentioned that you were going to just have to reinstall the entire game instead of making it seem like removing the Rockstar launcher would just allow the game to play normally - like Rockstar games did on consoles back in the day - and I'm pretty annoyed. My issue was not being able to launch GTA 5 on my Mac using Parallels. Thanks for wasting my time, maybe it's the language barrier, but congrats on making a long winded explanation of something simple as "uninstall everything and reinstall".
sonofagun it worked wtf. I did not expect it to work because of the wallpaper. Tried reinstalling, running as admin, updating windows, etc. This worked
Still can't sign in, tells me it can't create a login token on the launcher. Only fix that worked temporarily was reinstalling the whole game... Now it's happening again
I use Rockstar Launcher on macOS with Whisky. It stopped downloading in very beginning and nothing happened. However uninstalling Social club really helped.
Let me save you 4.28 of your life : Uninstall everything related to rockstar, remove the folder from your Documents and reinstall. Be aware that this last step remove also your saves in rockstar games. (So if you want to keep them, just temporarily rename the folder)
THIS IS WHAT I DID: I just uninstalled the launcher and the social club programme and then I doubleclicked on my desktop shortcut game icon and everything got installed again automatically and immediatly started without any problem. So please people: don't fuck around in your file system!

Why delete microsoft visuals ?
Probably because the visuals are installed when u reinstall the game
Worked in 2024 for SDK installation error-1023 (probably happened due to vpn)
My hopes were high but sadly didn´t help me :(
Thanks man, youre the best
Thank u so much🙏🙏🙏🙏
some of the files dont delete, idk why it just wont let me delete the folder
try closing the files from the task manager then delete it, might help
Didn't work for me :(
Bruh I love u thank u❤
Rockstar games folder won’t let me erase them
mine still is not opening
