So i opened up GTA as normal through steam and then it loads the rock* games launcher as normal but instead of opening i get this message (attached bellow). Ive tried numerous things through reddit and google searched but none of them seem to work. GTA is also NOT OPEN, however it does open in task manager and ive tried ending the task but still the same issue.(ive tried opening through ragehook but it doesnt work so i just open gta then ragehook) if anyone knows why this is happening and how to fix i would be more than grateful! 

 

Can any mods or anyone help?

I means you have rockstar launch is running with steam reverify the game through steam run rage hook as administrator from the file in steam it should correct it

 

I verified the integrity of my gta files on steam, i then when into my gta main directionary and opened ragehook as administrator, then ragehook and rockstar starts loading then i get brought with 'A game is currently running - Grand Theft Auto is currently running. By choosing to exit, Grand Theft Auto will be quit and any unsaved progress will be lost'. What can do/ did wrong?

does any mods or anyone else know how to help?

Hello @pohlow,

 

try starting GTA 5 not via Steam, but directly via the RockstarGamesLaunher.

 

Yeah ive tried this and get the same error message

Hello @pohlow,

 

Perhaps you could have the game files checked via your launcher.

This is to prevent an error from creeping in and preventing the game from starting properly.

 

I look forward to your feedback.
