• Crash on splash/intro movie: disable movies by renaming the movies folder or using a config option to skip intros.
• Crash after Rockstar Social Club or launcher appears: run the game executable directly (bypass launcher), or remove/disable the launcher if using a cracked/old version (only for legitimate copies follow official guidance).
• Black screen then fatal error: force windowed mode, update GPU drivers, install DirectX runtimes.
