They are torturing us, making every effort not to make people get taste from the game by making the game inaccessible eventhough we paid for it. (Maybe launching Steam client in offline mode would protect previous configuration without requiring new Social Club activation system?) I was launching the game fine only with an offline GFWL profile without Rockstar Social Club.Ĭan you please explain what should we do?Īre existing owners of GTA 4 COMPLETE EDITION who purchased directly from STEAM, still and again required to sign up and install Rockstar Social Game client? Until March 2020, we were able to pass/skip RSGC thingy and start the game straight forward using any online or offline GFWL profile right away. Why am I obliged to struggle with second DRM layer of Rockstar's Social Club garbage eventhough I legally and already have purchased GTA 4 Complete Edition directly from Steam? Seriously, what the ♥♥♥♥ is the point of Social Club if you're not going to socially interact with anyone on a singleplayer game. I tried tutorials on youtube with deleting social club folders or whitelisting Rockstar. Hi, so i have this problem - I cant login into Social Club on Rockstar Games Launcher because of 'offline mode', but i have checked my connection, it is completly fine, i even restarted the router. The guys in the black suits in the video game industry think these extra launchers actually prevent their game from being pirated but I'm sure in the long run, it has caused more people to actually pirate their games.Īnyways yeah, ♥♥♥♥ the Rockstar Launcher especially since they killed off the online mode in the game. Problem with GTA IV, Social Club and Rockstar Launcher. Originally posted by Big Sheep:It's just extra DRM to interfere with the consumer to stop pirates who end up getting the better experience because they already found out how to crack the DRM.
