I just installed GTA V yesterday, and this error is preventing me from opening it.

I would be sure youve manually installed gpu drivers - dont use what windows puts in.

What is in my docs rockstar games gtav launcher.log (preferably - post ALL of it) Did you change compatability on gtavs.exes Undo it.

I would also open msconfig, boot tab, advanced options - make sure debug is NOT checked.

As far as the 7b error goes - check this thread for some recent people (and post 33 especially)- Your screenshot shows some vcredist but is that all that is installed Just what you added 2012s are also in gtavcommonredistvcredist2012 folder to UNINSTALL, then reinstall.

Steamsteamappscommongtavinstallerssocialclubsetup.exe And.

Close whatever else you can in the background too.

Try to install vcredist under the -commonredist folder in the Grand Theft Auto V directory, if you cant then go to command prompt and type sfc scannow If that still doesnt help, move the Grand Theft Auto V folder outside of the Common folder and then uninstall the game from Steam, use CCleaner (which will remove registry entries for programs which are no longer installed, your registry entry for GTA 5 may be corrupted), and then move the Grand Theft Auto V folder back to common and reinstall the game.

Though, Id probably leave the exception - so when gtav updates in the future its less hassle.

R just put SC in the gtav folder with everything else) Does it do the same and prevent vcredists and directx from installing properly (or some magical key lets ms install its own.exes.:p.) Edit - After updating a vanilla win10 install to fall creator - I installed social club with no issue.

I did not turn on the new features (as Ive read everywhere they are off by default).

So if you do choose to use CFA and exploit guard - be prepared to jump through the hoops.

Edit - turned CFA and forced rando ASLR on (default says off.) - yes, SC wouldnt install.

I wonder how many things these tools are going to screw around with confuse people -.- Will mess around some more later.

I noticed that Windows blocked many programs due to Controlled Folder Access including Microsoft Office, Notepad, and various game launchers.

However, each time Windows blocked a program it prompted me to add it to the whitelist, which at least made it clear why a particular program wasnt working.

I didnt notice any issues with Mandatory ASLR until trying to open GTA V for the first time, so I didnt immediately suspect that as the culprit.

I assumed I would be presented with a similar security notification as with Controlled Folder Access but apparently not.

Game should then work normally from Steam.:boomer: This.

ASLR is an important tool for keeping your computer secure.

I normally would boycott programs that dont support it, but I just spent 30 on this one.
