I can't seem to start GTAS through the GTA Launcher or RAGE.  When I try to start through the GTA Launcher it crashes after clicking Story Mode.  Then I get that popular message that GTA closed unexpectedly or something like that.  When loading through Rage it will load all the way to where it list the plugins but never goes into the game.  Just stuck on trying to load.  Everything is up to date except I did note this difference and i wondered if you had to same thing.   Check pic.  GTA app says 1737 but the GTA launcher says 1604.  Maybe that is why it's not launching?  I noticed that when I tried to start GTA it updated twice instead of updating and installing  all in one shot like it usually does.  Wonder if something glitched there. 

I,m getting something like this, but instead iI get blue loading circle by the mouse that flashes in and out

Well I guess it was the mods folder for me.  Read elsewhere to rename the folder to mods-copy or just something else. I did that and the game loaded.  I thought it had to do with the different version numbers above but I guess that doesn't matter.  So I'll have to update the mods folder.
