Wassup guys, I’ve installed a new SSD card and I had to restart everything

I just downloaded GTA and i’m trying to run it to make sure everything is good before I start downloading LSPDFR but I ran into a problem. I’m trying to enter the activation key for gta (from steam) and it keeps saying that the activation key is already in use. Is there any way possible someone can help me?

I even watched youtube videos but they didn’t help.

Hello,

I'm surprised the game is even asking for a product key. Is this only since reinstalling it on to your new SSD?

There's nothing we would be able to do about it unfortunately, I'd say you'd have to contact Rockstar Support if the game won't let you play due to a key issue.

Ohk well I figured out a solution some how, now I have a question is there a way any body on the team could help me… everytime I try to play with rph it never give me the option on the load to screen to play with ragepluginhook it only give me Quit, Settings, 2XGTA$ &RP FEATURED SERIES, OLINE, and STORY MODE

I approved the virus thing so that’s out the picture… any help???

Okay no worries.

For that, load into singleplayer normally first and then start RPH and see if that works.
