Fix for GTA V won't load - kept quitting from Rockstar Launcher, PC

This week GTA 5 wouldn't open, something of a problem when you have an almost exclusively GTA 5 channel... I'd click on 'Play' on the Rockstar launcher, wait a few seconds and then the game would try to open in full screen and then just quit. I spent hours looking for solutions until I finally traced it to an issue with an NVIDIA driver that I had to update manually in Windows 11. This video is to try and save you the hours I spent fixing it! Please let others know of any different fixes that might have worked for you...

DUDE THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! this still works in 2023 :)

I don't know what to do, I updated my graphic cards, updated Windows, checked integrity and reinstalled the game, still not working...

Thank you! For some inexplicable reason, I suddenly couldn't launch the original GTA 3; it kept closing in the Rockstar launcher. To resolve this issue, I took the following steps:

I navigated to the Documents folder in OneDrive and deleted the Rockstar Games folder.
Then, I went to my Documents folder as usual and removed both the GTA 3 User Files and the GTA Thrice Files folder, which I had previously installed as a mod.

This successfully resolved the problem. I suspect the issue was related to the mod folder because it began after I installed and uninstalled the Thrice mod. It appears that the leftover mod files were causing the Rockstar Launcher to close unexpectedly.

All the instructions were pile of shit nothing worked for me. Maybe not all cases are same but I still see the same "Quitting game" message.

I did the graphic card drivers update + optimize on for GTA 5 and it worked after looking for a solution for 5 hours Thanks!

[queenchrysalis]

update: so updating the graphics card didn't fix it, so I cleaned out my entire gta v directory and started a fresh install. I also uninstalled rockstar launcher and social club and will reinstall it when the game finishes dowloading. I found out that I needed to update .net framwork and visual c++ and that fixed other games I own, so that should fix the issues with gta v.
