ERR_GEN_ZLIB_2

[Getahinsh]

Does anyone know what this error is and how exactly I can fix it WITHOUT having to do a reinstall. Please I beg you, don't make me Re (X11) install this game...

@Getahinsh you probably have a corrupt file, you can compare MD5 checkscum

@Getahinsh Any mods or scripts you are running?

Common GTA 5 PC Errors And How To Fix Them

Steam:

1. Load Steam
2. From the Library section, right-click on the game and select Properties from the menu.
3. Select the Local files tab and click the Verify integrity of game cache... button.
4. Steam will verify the game's files - this process may take several minutes.

Rockstar:

1. Go into your install directory and create a shortcut for GTAVLauncher.exe
2. Right-click on the new shortcut and go to Properties
3. On the Shortcut tab, add -verify to the end of the Target text box.
   For example, if your shortcut has
   "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V\GTALauncher.exe"
   to start, then it should look like this with the new flag
   "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V\GTALauncher.exe" -verify
4. Hit OK
5. Run this shortcut (may have to run as administrator)

You have corrupt files. MD5 checksum and/or restoring backups.

I had that error once. It was due to instability overclock.. Ram was a little to hot .. and GPU core/mem too high..

@lassek1981 After waiting 5 years, they can now install water cooling in their systems and play GTA5 again.
