mods cant work online for obvious reasons. You need to disable them

I realise this but what I'm not sure of is how to disable them!

I've uninstalled the "ASI Loader" (which in turn has disabled the "OpenIV.ASI") and now when I try to load the online game I get a message saying the Rockstar service is not available - which I'm guessing is a set up from the message telling me I'm trying to use an altered version of the game?

OMG, if GTA online was full of cheaters now that Epic is giving it for free, is gonna be a nightmare.
People will make free accounts just to cheat... 100% sure.

Yep. Throw away accounts literally limited by how many email addresses you can summon up. Will most likely ruin the game for a long time unless R* have upped their game anti-cheat wise. At least there is no issues with solo lobbies.

I am replaying GTA IV and really enjoying it.
 
I decided to reinstall GTAV. I forgot how discusting the experience of just installing it is.
Epic launcher, Rockstar social + social club login, C++ redistributions, Steam still required as part of the install and some other software i've not even heard of. With my Epic account name too 'Guest2' I had 160 friend requests :D
God knows why, maybe they just added me because they couldnt choose to have Guest2 when they applied to get their free account for GTAV free download

I've quickly uninstalled the lot and gone back to COD
 
It's a nigthmare trying to get online, took ages of trying yesterday and cant seem to get online at all today,
just too many people playing after Epic's giveaway and the servers are full i guess

server status..

I managed to get back into the online game and went for a drive down to the airport and as I was driving around my car slowed to a stop and my character got out - and all of a sudden I was in a cage and after 5-10 seconds someone blew me up! I'm assuming this is some tool who is cheating somehow?

Either way, now I can't even get back into the game - but instead of a Rockstar error I get a message saying that GTA V timed out authenticating with Epic Online Services - so essentially problems all over the place! :(

Steam and Epic Games needed for GTA? Think you're confused mate.

Epic Games has always required you to use UbiSoft, Social Club etc platforms for launching their games. C++ redistributions are common as heck with most big games also.

Personally I prefer this since I use the Ubi launcher for their games anyway, and you aren't required to open Epic Games to play once it's linked.

So how do you play it without Ubisoft, Social club and Steam mate? When I installed it from the Epic games store, it automatically installed all three. I have no other Ubi games and hate all the additional platforms like social club that require more registration & signing in

You open Epic Games and purchase GTA V (for free)
You attempt to download GTA V and link your Rockstar Social Club to Epic Games
GTA V installs plus any C++ Redistributions (to be clear this isn't anything new, Steam did the same thing when I installed Final Fantasy 8 recently).

Once this is done you can open Rockstar Social Club and play GTA straight from the launcher because you've linked the account to Epic Games and all Rockstar games (RDR2 etc) will be linked to your Social Club directly whether purchased from Rockstar, Epic Games or some random website selling keys to be used on the developers own launcher.

If you do this with any Ubisoft game, replace the word Rockstar Social Club with Ubisoft's uPlay launcher.

I get that and know how to open it but don’t want all the social club software.
This is a reason people download ‘cracked’ software. I’ve paid for GTA V through Steam and downloaded it in the Epic store and just want to play the single player with a nice simple exe instead of having yet another launcher.
It’s starting to get to a different store per games. Uplay, steam, epic, rockstar social, origin, blizzard/battle.net...

That would be Steams fault for taking too big of a cut per sale. Now most big developers have their own launcher and you have the likes of Epic Games joining in offering bigger cuts to developers and alternative options like GoG that promote DRM free games.

Unfortunately you have no choice but to use Social Club if you want to play the Epic Games version :o

A mess is a bit of an understatement - trouble is I've chosen today to start experimenting with mods (predominantly Redux atm) and every time I try and load the online/offline portions and they don't work, I'm left wondering if it's something stupid I've done or just problems with Rockstar/Epic!

Is this game just poorly optimized in general? Just seems to run poor on my 5700XT.

Maybe I have the settings to high...they are all cranked to the max and I am getting 30 to 50fps I would say.

I remember reading ages ago that grass is best left at normal.

I'm running it maxed (with the exception of grass (left at normal) and reflections at MSAAX2), and limited to 60fps.

At 3440x1440 I'm maintaining the 60fps with spare GPU power, with the odd exception now and again, where it can drop to 50ish. Gsync means I don't notice any stutter.

This is with a 1070 and an X5650.
