    Every time I try to load my GTA 5 I get an error message saying "The Application was unable to start correctly (0x0000142)" that appears when I load the GTA5Launcher.exe

    You have to launch the game via social club. So if you have it on Steam launch it from the default short cut it gives you on your steam list.

    My version is FitGirl Compressed (Cracked) and everytime I try to run the 3DM Launcher it says "Please Run Grand Theft Auto V with PlayGTAV.exe" but when I run the PlayGTAV.exe it takes me to the Rockstar Social Club to activate

    I remember this issue a while back, the cracked file was suppose to bypass the social club screen. Maybe try a different crack.

    Never be sure on cracked version of games, could of 100's of small issues within the files. It's best to just purchase the game legitimate. Or maybe asking were you downloaded it from for some advice. Most cracked games are faulty but that's just my opinion.

    I get them from skidrowreloaded.com it was the GTA 5 Reloaded Cracked

    I now get an error saying ERR_NO_STEAM even thought it's been running fine and it only happened after I installed Steam but I need Steam to download my games I bought but I wanna play GTA 5 Cracked because I love the game and I don't have the money to buy it but I've got a job interview friday at ASDA so hopefully I'll get the job so I'll finally have money lol :)

    Try looking into the .exe to see if it's blocked. Or it could even be your Virus protection as it's also under a ''hacktool'' of some sorts, but if you can't fix it, I'd be happy to post it for you on your behalf ;)

    It does bypass it and I can play it but when I press the LB sometimes it'll crash the game and if I accidentally mash 2 buttons together sometimes not all the time but it's annoying but now I have bought the legit Rockstar Download version and now it isn't letting me use the GTAV_Setup_Tool.exe that I got in an email with the code when I purchased it.
    It comes up with this "Unable to detect the Windows Media Feature Pack on your system. Please install the Windows Media Feature Pack, then retry the installation."
    and it's annoying because I wanna start the download because it will take ages lol but when I try to download the Windows Media Feature Pack is gives me the Windows 8 N download page on Microsoft and it won't work because it says "Windows Update Standalone Installer. The update is not applicable to your computer"
    Help will be much appreciated and the most helpful will get a £4 paypal reward.

    Now I've got past the installer problem and solved that but now after I have used the GTAV_Setup_Tool.exe, If anyone has that issue i will post a tutorial on a separate Topic (http://www.xpgamesaves.com/topic/134568-how-to-fix-gta-v-installer-windows-media-feature-pack-error/)
    the new issue is that when Rockstar Social Club opens it gives me an error which says "Unable to access Rockstar Servers. Activation of GTA V requires an internet connection. Please check your connection and click Retry, or click Cancel to quit."
    It sounds simple but the issue is that I have an internet connection I am able to post this and I can watch YouTube videos as well so I don't see the issue with the internet and it's annoying me I just want it to work because I spent £26.99 on it.
    Please help XPG Community :)
    Also I have just noticed that everytime I try to run the GTA V installer which directs me to the Social Club That it appears on the title at the top of the program saying "OFFLINE MODE" and I also notice that on the right corner there is a box that appears for a few seconds saying "3dmgame"
    I get to this screen : http://prntscr.com/8snidn
    then I get this error message : http://prntscr.com/8snkao

    Okay thank you for everyone who helped me I really appreciate it but now I have fixed it.
    What I did was Downgrade my OS from Windows 8 Pro 64-bit to Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit and It works fine now :) just waiting for the download to complete lol it's on 57GB out of 60GB
