Hey!

I've been struggling with this issue after today's GTAV update. Even though it's probably not the best thing, I've been playing on an outdated version of GTAV (2802) for the past months. Every time an update is needed, I rename the folder to smth like Grand Theft Auto V LSPDFR and rename the vanilla folder back to Grand Theft Auto V (so the update is installed on a clean GTA build that doesn't affect my LSPDFR build). Normally, it's totally fine and my game runs sweet, but not this time.
 

When I try to launch the LSPDFR build, just after the Social Club window pops up, it says the thing attached in the image below. Additionally, I Googled the error code 7002.1, and it's supposedly some audio-enhancing software issue, but I have no idea what that is since I've never added anything like that.
Any thoughts on how to fix this?
 

- 2802 game build won't launch after Social Club/ Rockstar Games Launcher
- Error 7002.1 (https://support.rockstargames.com/articles/15714052178579/Rockstar-Games-Audio-Error-Code-7002-1)
- No added/ changed mods in the GTAV main directory before the launch attempt

Thank you!

 

I've been doing the same thing as you with updates, use a vanilla folder for updates and them move back to the LSPDFR install.

I'm getting the same 7002.1 error on the launcher with my version, 2944. Same issue when I switch to my Liberty City version which is an even older version, 2845. But, when I move back to the vanilla folder, it launches.

I have a feeling with the new update there is something missing on the older versions that the launcher is looking for.

Still looking for a solution, but might just have to spend a day trying to update everything if nothing new arises soon.

Hey!

I've managed to fix it.

Simply, make a backup of these 4 files (GTAVLauncher, PlayGTAV, GTA5, and GTAVLanguageSelect), verify your game files via Steam (so it installs the new version), and replace the new ones with the backup files. The verifier had to update about 50 files, so there is probably something that the launcher is looking for.

For me, it works perfectly.

Awesome!
I was about to write I also found the fix.
Slightly different to yours, I moved the GTAVLauncher, PlayGTAV, and GTAVLanguageSelect from the vanilla version and put them in the old 2944 version. I left the old GTA5.exe there and everything is working as normal again.
