and only testing is going to sort it out. That is not the giant link of all sorts of problems that can manifest via connection issues, background software, malware, settings, etc etc.įor the last few weeks quite a few people have been having various problems logging in - mostly those from overseas. (I last remember the website ASKING people to update their info, which is what logging in would have hopefully prompted as well if that was the case - might still be something to check) Again, that's a single paragraph - and a simple test. Old social club accounts can choke on the lack of regional information or an OLD password. Originally posted by psykoteky:In some cases - you'd be surprised as to what can cause problems. You know - because they added the launcher, have ongoing issues with antivirus/security, windows updates/ os/versions, admin/perms, vcredists, peoples' pc/setup/installs, mod users, certificates, connectivity issues on both ends and everywhere in between, and more. End users can't unlink that themselves - only R* can (without losing the game.). In some cases older steam accounts may have already been linked to a social club account for other games / reasons - if that is the case then THAT is the steam account that must be used. This is the very reason why so many people scream about DRM and things like Social Club because they do not maintain information and allow legitimate users to play the games that they have bought and paid for.Being a new user - you should give this link a look -Ĭlick-> ** Big link of social club / connection related fixes **Īlso, I would log into the social club website with your newly created account - to verify that you can, that the info works, and to check your account settings and see if your current steam account is actually linked to that social club account. The game shows up there fine but when I try to launch the stupid game through Steam, it tells me that the activation key is already in use and won't accept it and allow me to launch the game. Rockstar Social Club web site recognized and accepted my CD Key. Problem is I have linked the game on their web site.
