hahaha I finally found a solution cheer lads

@Coppa_Calypse
woah how did you get it to work dude?

@RanditoCarlito fuckin hell I even fell asleep and had a dream it worked, then I woke up

@RanditoCarlito ikr, Ive been using GTAVLauncherBypass for years and havent updated my game though last night as I loaded the game I was given the prompt to download the latest launcher which I did, but now it wants to update my game which I either have to now, but that's like 30gb worth of crap I don't need, just to play my own game. Rockstar ya cunt!

@darkblue
Rockstar were like "I bet people are playing Gta at home during this pandemic with all their fancy mods to help them escape all this crap... fuck em"

I was playing fine yesterday and all of a sudden I got this message to download the launcher when I launched the game later that night. I haven't updated my game in ages and have been using GTAVLauncherBypass (which is removed now) because I don't play online and am using a mods folder. I don't get it? I've never had to update my game or anything? Usually when launching the GTA5.exe it would load the game and load into social club just fine.

@Coppa_Calypse I'm having the exact same issue! I was playing fine yesterday and all of a sudden I got this message to download the launcher when I launched the game later that night.
