Grand Theft Auto V

Status: Gold | Installs: Yes | Opens: Yes

warning

The Rockstar Games Launcher will fail with the The Rockstar Games Launcher failed to initialize! error when DXVK is turned off in your Bottle Configuration. DXVK can turned on to workaround the launcher error but you might experience visual gliches (invisible guns, green car windows, brightness and reflection artifacts, etc) if you do so. For a glichless experience we suggest to keep DXVK turned off and follow the following setup to workaround the launcher issue instead.

Setup

Install in Steam as normal.
In Whisky open "Bottle Configuration" and:
- If on, turn DXVK off.
- Click on "Open Wine Configuration" and:
  - Under the "Application" tab add Launcher.exe (most likely from C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V).
  - While Launcher.exe is selected in the "Application" tab, switch to the "Libraries" tab and add d3d10core, d3d11, dxgi selecting the "Native then Buildin" option for all.
  - Click "Apply" and start the game from Steam as usual.
