Issue Language
- [X] Yes my issue is written in English
I'm in the same boat. Social Club Rockstar logo pops up, then poof, it disappears, lurking in the background, and making it impossible for me to jump into the game. Really hoping for a fix soon, especially since GTA V is my go-to game on Mac.
I have M1 Max. I have the same problem as you. I really hope to fix it as soon as possible. It should be caused by the recent fact that GTA5 no longer supports Windows 7/8.
I have the same issue. I think that problem relate with last Rockstar launcher update. I wish it works soon 🙌🏻

I hope so too
Please guys, It's the only reason I downloaded whisky for. Been having the exact same issue here. Let us know if there's anyway to fix it
Facing the same issue can anyone please shows an alternative approach
Look into the wineskin project. Use engine -16. and it should work. The graphics are trash, and it's laggy, but it works.

where can i find it?
Crossover Trial Works fine for now. Until a fix is there ya'll can use it for now I guess.
Weirdly I am finding these error logs inside the Launcher Logs, I am not why Rock Star Launcher is unable to connect to the internet.

Doesn't work for me, rockstar sign in said "Email not found or password incorrect", my credentials work fine though.
Hey @kopytos, I believe you receive the latest patch with Trial.
@c9dn, I also had to input my email and password, but my credentials worked fine. By the way, I switched to Windows 11 in Wine Configuration within the Steam Bottle I created, and DirectX 11 works in-game as well.
Just to mention, I'm using an M3 Pro. Tried to pack in as much information as possible. Hopefully, it's helpful. The game runs smoother compared to Whiskey.
I'm hoping for updates to Whiskey, especially to address the DirectX 11 issue. It's been my go-to since I purchased my Mac.
Cheers!
There is pop up error showing this, also this is happening after new update on rockstart

That's because the bottle you're using is probably on Windows 7/8, Rockstar dropped support for those in the update that broke whisky support too.
@c9dn
Look into the wineskin project. Use engine -16. and it should work.
Makes sense.
The graphics are trash
I don’t work on MoltenVK so any bugs you’ve encountered when when using WineD3D Vulkan & DXVK are more or less due to MoltenVK bugs.
and it's laggy, but it works.
If that’s with DXVK you’d need to give it more time for the shader cache to fill out, same as when using DXVK in Whisky or even CrossOver.
Currently the best way to play GTAV is via CrossOver-24 with D3DMetal.

HI there, I've been using crossover for a few days, and it works great. I currently use high resolution mode, but I'll try D3D metal.
As for the other issues, my expertise is not in graphics or WINE, so I can't provide more feedback.
Thanks for following up on my message, and for the suggestion.

Hi Waren,
Yep, a few hours prior your post it worked great on crossover. Must have had a bug on rockstars end. I too am using an M3 pro system and it works great.
Have a great day.

Updated bottle to windows 10 now have same issue as this ticket. After connecting in rockstar game services the windows dissapear.

I used Crossover 24 and it didn't work, GTA5 wouldn't start, and the dialog asked me to reinstall the game. Rockstar Games Launch unexpectedly shut down.
I’ve had no issues on my end playing with CX24.
If you’ve been sharing a bottle between CrossOver & Whisky it’s going to become broken quickly.
Is there some way how to fix it in Whisky app ? I play Gta V with crossover now and its perfect, but payment is soon :D

The only way I see this getting fixed in Whisky is if Apple does so via D3DMetal.

There are alternate methods online to evade the payment. But I would not do that as you're taking profits away from the devs.
Please do not do this as it’s technically pirating, and possibly illegal
@c9dn there was no need to provide a url with a BS reason, @IsaacMarovitz opeblynwants to support CodeWeavers like myself and most other third-party projects.

I completely understand. I said in my original comment to NOT use it. I would never steal profits from third party projects. I also want to support CodeWeavers, and I have a legitimate CrossOver License. But chances are, they could have found it out on their own.
Hope this clears up any understanding.

There’s no misunderstanding here, yes anyone can easily google workaround/hacks for any software. Instead you’ve blatantly provided a directly url under the guise of educational purposes
Keep in mind @IsaacMarovitz even provides a discount code to make the purchase cheaper.
I am restating, that I do not recommend doing this. And I’ve stated 3-4 times so far I do not believe in using workarounds. But anyone who wants to use workarounds, would have already used them. I do agree that it’s possibly a bad idea to include a link. I’ll edit my original comment
