GTA 5 no longer works - what you can do

Grand Theft Auto 5 is the fifth major spin-off of Rockstar's socially critical open world series. In it, you take on the role of shady characters and follow their often criminal careers. However, porting to the PC has already caused problems with the predecessors.

Problems with software and hardware

Every computer game must be optimized specifically for PCs. This task is difficult precisely because there are numerous different components and the performance of the devices also differs greatly. This can also cause compatibility problems with GTA 5. To solve these, you have several options.

1. First, check the system requirements of the game and compare them with your device.
2. Check whether your computer is sufficiently ventilated. If it overheats too much, then the individual components quickly switch to a state of emergency and limit their functions. This happens especially with laptops.
3. Back up your game saves and reinstall the game.
4. Should that not help, reset your computer to free it from data remnants or optionally use a special third-party software.
5. If it is GTA 5 Online, then problems on the server side can also be behind it. Ob dies der Fall ist, überprüfen Sie über spezielle Webseiten wie „AllesStörungen.de“. Auf diesen können Personen melden, wenn sie Probleme mit der Anwendung haben.
