Steam install from zip forcing update
-
I had a clean install of the game from this last update on a computer that doesn't have internet often.
I zipped the entire steam folder & transferred it to the computer I normally use (the other computer is too old).
I do NOT have the gunrunner update. It's forcing me to connect to the internet & it keeps restarting the gunrunner update & is refusing to run without updating & even says it on steam.
How do I bypass this? I've tried to load it offline even with the offline only parameters in the GTAVlaunchrr file.
Any suggestions??

@vendetta1969 you'll need this https://www.gta5-mods.com/tools/gtavlauncherbypass and this https://www.imnotmental.com/tool/gtavlauncher-bypass-for-steam/

Some progress but can't load game.
I got it to bypass updating. It then kept telling me I can't go in offline mode and then said I'm not signed in. I got it to stop telling me I wasn't signed in and now it just crashes.
I have openiv and did all the stuff there for asi loader and mod folder, etc. I downloaded the files you suggested.
-
@vendetta1969 is it crashing at the loading screen? Where it says "No place like home" or the screen after that?
-
@westcoastsosa Dude...
@vendetta1969 said in Steam install from zip forcing update:
Some progress but can't load game.
Meaning he makes it into the main screen, just not the game. ("Can't load game.")
Oh, and by the way, @vendetta1969, you're supposed to sign in.
-
Nope logged in when I realized I somehow got logged out. So I logged in and got this screen as its loading the game.

@vendetta1969 the same thing was happening to me, I couldn't tell what the problem was so I can't help unfortunately.

@westcoastsosa Well I finally appear to have it working... I recopied the root folder from my backup and went through the whole process of it again and now its working. I'm still having a sign in issue...it says I'm not signed it but I am or was, then when I resign it...I then can load the whole game.
What's funny/interesting about that whole sign in problem. I had the game loaded twice somehow, literally TWO windows open. One said I couldn't load the game because I wasn't signed in and it wouldn't let me yet I had the game loaded in the other one. Had no idea how that happened but it was weird.
-
@vendetta1969 Glad you got it working. Maybe try to restart your PC and it'll sort everything out that's what I ended up doing
-
@westcoastsosa I spoke too soon. I was in it ONCE... Unfortunately I can't get back into it....
I keep getting double GTAV windows somehow, one says I'm logged in and starts to load, the other one says I am NOT signed in and wont proceed. The logged in one ends up crashing & the other window just wont let me sign in no matter what.
I did not have the latest update yet somehow I have 1.39...isn't that the update that was this week?? I don't know HOW this got loaded...I never let it (to my knowledge) update...
I'm completely pissed and of course disappointed.
