I’ve seen a lot of posts about this, but with no solutions.
Here is the solution (admin’s plz don’t delete, this will hopefully prevent additional posts regarding this issue.
If anyone ever gets this, there are other solutions that might work but this is guaranteed to work:
- make new social club account
- Buy new GTA on that account
- close steam & R* launcher in task manager
- Delete DigitalEntitlements Folder (search for %localappdata% in your windows search bar in system tray)
- Load up Fivem
- Sign into new Social Club account with fresh gta Copy
- Pour one out for the homies.
You can try the other “solutions”, but this is guaranteed to work.
For reference, my first copy was purchased directly from Amazon in 2016 and I was given a code. It just stopped working in the middle of me writing code today and the error came up. Only thing I can think of is the key somehow got compromised or something.
Regardless, if you have this issue, don’t cry about the solution, at least there is one now.
