Hello dear readers. Today we will tell you about such a problem as the endless loading of GTA 5 and, of course, what to do if it occurs.
And it can arise for a variety of reasons, and, accordingly, in order to understand how to fix it, you will have to try several methods.
This problem occurs, as a rule, on the PC and its main feature is that both users and those gamers who play on the pirated version face this.
This is what the error looks like:
And it is expressed in the fact that the game continues to load for a very long time, but it does not go beyond this loading itself.
Solution
As we already said, there are several ways to solve it:
- Perhaps the most stable option is to replace Cyrillic characters with Latin characters - Control Panel / Accounts Users and Family Safety/User Accounts/Management/Change/Change Name. Formulate the account name in such a way that it does not contain Cyrillic characters, but only letters of the English alphabet and numbers.
- The second way is to create in the root directory local disk a folder with a name in Latin, for example, Documents. Go to C:/Users/UserName, where instead of "UserName" there will be the name you specified. Next, find the "My Documents" folder, right-click on it and click properties, then the "Location" tab, and specify the root directory - C: / Documents.
- Also check that the directory where the game is installed does not contain Cyrillic letters.
- On Windows 10, deleting the Social Club folder, which is located at C: / Users / Username / Documents / RockstarGames /, sometimes helps.
These are the main ways to help deal with long loading times. Note that if nothing helped, then try installing the latest updates, in the case of a license it will be an official patch, and if you have a pirated repack, then search the network for the appropriate update and crack.
That's all we wanted to tell you today. Have a nice day, everyone. Bye bye.
Once Grand Theft Auto 5 has been installed on your computer, you must log in to the Social Club app from Rockstar Games. The necessary data is entered, and a download window appears, which lasts indefinitely. Activation of the game does not pop up, and if it was already activated, the download of additional packages does not start. How to solve this problem?
Solution.
More likely, given error occurs due to the presence of Cyrillic characters in any of the folders that are associated with the game. This could be the directory where the game was installed, or My Documents, or the name of the Windows owner. To run correctly, follow the instructions:
- Before installing, create program disk(often this is drive C) the folder "My Documents"
- Next, find My Documents. Most likely the path looks like this: "C:\Users\Computer name\My Documents"
- Right-click and select Properties, then "Location".
- Change the path to the previously created folder (C:\My Documents) and apply the change.
- Launch GTA.
If the above method did not help, you should check your Windows username for Cyrillic letters. If they are present, assign a different name to the owner or simply create another one, but without Russian letters and special characters and then try launching the launcher.
The last point where the solution to the problem of eternal loading may be hiding is the way installed game. Check that there are no Cyrillic folders before the GTA 5 directory. When installing, the entire path must be written in Latin.

When loading (hanging) GTA 5 on PC for a long time, you can use another method to get around this problem.
1. Create a folder on drive C called "My Documents", it should look like this "C: / My Documents";
2. Find the folder "My Documents" (written in Russian letters) and right-click on it to open the "properties";
3. Go to the "Location" tab and instead of the specified path, specify "C: / My Documents", click "Apply" and "OK", agreeing to transfer your documents to a new folder;
4. After waiting for the end of the operation, we launch GTA 5. If the problem remains, restart the computer and start the game again, everything should work.
Old
If during startup GTA V on PC you have problems with endless loading, then you should check the path where the game is installed and your profile, which should not contain Cyrillic (Russian letters).
For example, if your profile is called like this C:\Users\Andryukha-PC then you will have to rename it or create new profile English letters, for example Andrey-PC. There is an option that after renaming everything can also work, you can rename your profile in the Control Panel - User Accounts. Be sure to reinstall Social Club after this procedure.
In fact, all future problems will be related to Social Club, most likely after entering the key you will encounter new problems, as in all games Rockstar Games. We hope that we can answer all your questions and solve unwanted problems as soon as possible.
