Some players have been struggling to install and play Grand Theft Auto 5, so we’ve came up with the most common problem we’ve seen so far and included advice on how to tackle this Story Mode Loading crash issue.

GTA V Loading crash in Story Mode (PC version)

A possible solution to fix this issue is to follow this next few steps:

  1. Start GTA V online, this will open the game. Once you are in the GTA V online, you have to created your online character. Once this is done go to step 2.
  2. Once you are in the game use the character switch mode and select your story mode character. The ‘ALT’ key or whatever key you have selected for this .
  3. The game will jump from the online to the Story Mode with succes. It’s a bit strange to get the game started, but it’s a temporary solution while we are waiting on rockstar official game patch / fix.

Also—standard practice—check that your GPU manufacturer hasn’t put out a new driver update, and make sure Social Club, Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1, and DirectX are up to date.

AMD also just announced new drivers for GTA V. The AMD Catalyst 15.4 (Beta) driver (which contains AMD Catalyst Display Driver version14.502.1014) for Windows promises better performance and stability, and AMD said that the title is part AMD’s Gaming Evolved family. As such, it includes AMD’s Contact Hardening Shadows (CHS) technology, which AMD said “dynamically hardens or softens a shadow’s edges depending on the distance of the shadow from the light source and object casting that shadow.”
