Nothing. I attempted to join a rp server when first encountering the error. This was after updating from Windows 10 to 11. But just yesterday I was able to play just fine on Fivem.

What server did you get this issue on? Be specific and name some, ‘all of them’ by itself isn’t useful!

Additional comments

FiveM had been perfectly running for about two weeks up until I updated my system. There were no issues when I moved the game to an external hard drive and rockstar launcher and the five m launcher where able to verify themselves and find each other. Now when trying to join a server, I was unable to fully load in after passing through queue stating that the ‘Rockstar launcher was already opened.’ and causing my game to go into error and having to be exited out. I’ve downloaded GTA V about 3 times. First was on a local disk, the second on a external hard drive (WD_Black), and then back onto the local drive again. GTA V runs perfectly fine through the Rockstar Launcher. But when I uninstalled FiveM, and after installing it it will get stuck on verifying game data section of the install and then I’m hit with the rockstar launcher error once again. I’ve turned off my anti-virus as that was never an issue and always stayed on when I played. I have no VPN. I have not reset my internet/modem. I’m at a loss on what else to do to actually install the application. If anybody could help I would be grateful.

For anyone who is still having issues with this, the way that fixed my problems was to do a full system reset for my PC. That was the only way I was able to fix it and just redownloaded everything in its proper files (my GTA in my external hardrive etc.)
