I'll try this now and update
right so i tried to do this: start - run - cmd run as adminstrator - netsh winsock reset all, successfully reset.
this is meant to solve the issue of not being able to go into single player, however even after restarting my pc its done nothing... so i assume the maintenance break is the reason i cant play which seems weird for single player

this is what im getting when i try, this is the first time trying to play gta5 normally so im assuming ill have to do the 5gb update which requires gta5 online servers? and since theres a maintenance break i cant activate it?
