Does anyone know if any platform/game launcher other than Steam such as Epic etc allow you to start the game without the dreaded Rockstar Games launcher?

I have GTA V on Steam but rockstars crappy Rockstar games launcher says my steam account is linked to another Rockstar email (which i cannot remember) and Rockstar support have been absolutely useless in resolving it! So i cannot play the game on steam without successfully logging into Rockstar Games Launcher first which obviously i cant!

So id love to know if there is a platform that sells the game (legit) that they don't have this junk Rockstar games launcher!

It's a rockstar game, and it needs to verfy you with rockstar servers, I highly doubt that there will be a latest version of it that allows you to bypass the Rockstar launcher.. unless you get it off the high seas..

I had similar issue, i screenshotted my steam info and receipt and they let me change the email to a diff once and redo password after i explained and gave em evidence. Not sure why they are being a bother with you tho.
 
Any Rockstar game can be bought outside the launcher on Steam or on Epic but it will always have to be linked to Social Club (Rockstar Laucher) so you can play GTA online.
The best thing to do when buying a Rockstar game is just purchasing it on the Rockstar launcher so you cont have to mess about with linking accounts but then it depends if you want to download games slower on the launcher or have them dowload quicker on Steam.

Thats not the issue, the issue is the OP had his social club account use a old email which he cannot recall what he used and so cant login to it or recover by using forgot password cos it would go to his old email he used which has no access too. He either wants rockstar to change the email and set up a new password or something else. Emailing rockstar support, explaining no access to past email and sending screenshot proof of ur steam account info and receipt if bought on steam then they should sort him out, did me, after a few emails.

I must have had the most laziest support worker, Simply wasn't interested all i got from him was "We were unable verify account associated with that email" and cannot proceed further.

Like what the hell!

Anyway, I didn't want to do it but i just purchased the game again within the rockstar games launcher using another email and all is good.

ONLY issue with GTA V for me now is my Framerate is so high that it causes certain missions to crash because its the limit of the game engine apparently and it doesn't like very high fps. , Need to find a way to lock the fps to 165 see if that works, If not try less.
Funny thing is VSync isn't working, Its not locking the frame rate!

I could really do with sorting my accounts out - Got IV, V and RDR2 spread across 2 accounts because I accidentally used the wrong email when activating (and didn't realise it was signing me up with a new account).

Regarding the frame rate issue, I had similar when I had my 3060ti, I took the lazy route and just cranked up the anti-aliasing until the framerate dropped enough to not stutter! You should also be able to limit the framerate from the adrenaline control panel (assuming you're still on the 7900XT)

Brill, that sorted it, Locked it to 60 fps and works great, Actually leaves my system not doing a fat lot just taking it in its stride which is nice.
