Grand Theft Auto V

Status: Bronze | Installs: Yes | Opens: Yes

note

As of 2024, Rockstar Games added BattlEye anti-cheat software. Online play will not work official servers or unofficial servers which require BattlEye.

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

  • In Whisky open "Bottle Configuration" and:
    • Disable DXVK.
    • 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".
  • Install in Steam as normal.
    • Add the -nobattleye launch option in Steam.
  • Start the game in Steam as normal.
