Maybe not the best place to post this, but the OT is so dead and gone.
So I got the game on PC. Downloaded and installed to my SSD via the Rockstar Social Club launcher/bootstrap thing.
And it won't launch. Won't even boot up. If I do it in 'Safe Mode' it gives me that "err_gfx_d3d_init" error.
And that's it. Can't play the game.
My setup:
GTX 1080 FE @factory
i5 4690k 3.5GHz @ factory
16GB RAM
Windows 10
It's fucking shambolic. Don't want to do another entire 60 GB overnight download... But I might as well try it
PS I've tried launching it through GeForce Experience as 'optimised', I've tried editing the settings.xml file to turn on/off/adjust which DirectX I use, and I've tried running it in Windowed Borderless. All lead to immediate crash.
EDIT: Nobody responded, so hey, but evidently re-installing the game entirely to my HDD fixed it. I think my girlfriend rebooted the computer mid-install first time around so that might have fucked it initially.
