The massive giveaway at EPIC, where you can key a free license to GTA-V, has had an effect on the Rocketstar servers, downtime and connection problems were caused by the large number of new players.

Rockstar Games confirmed on Sunday that there were connection issues with Rockstar Games Services, including the Rockstar Games Launcher and GTA V for the PC.

I just answered like 20 RCaptchas but now i'm in. First time since 3 days ago. I would start the launcher but it wouldn't even show up, just a black screen. Idiots.

Yeah I heard so by a friend too, yesterday. He's not the most gaming affine person, but he downloaded the origin launcher because he wanted GTA5.

So he made an account, downloaded and started it... then got GTA5.
And then it hit him... he needed to have R* social club account as well, so he made that too, but he noted he found it stupid to need two.
While claiming he spent two hours doing captchas yesterday. Probably exaggerated, but that annoyed him as well.
In the end he wasn't very happy with the process. But... a noob's take on PC gaming in a nutshell.

Gladly, I played this game a long time before I needed Epic's launcher for that, and a long time before it was crowded like this, and a long time ago I still was able to pay for my copy so I wouldn't have to bother with all of this for a seven (7) year old game.
