Epic Games Store GTA V with Crossover and Heroic

Apple Silicon

I picked up GTA V on the Epic Games Store as a freebie and couldn't find a way to get this version (I have seen Steam tutorials for GTA V) running with Crossover anywhere so thought I'd share.

Note: no cracked version or piracy needed.

The setup:

  • Get Crossover Nightly. Need to be a tester.

  • Install "Rockstar Games Launcher" in Crossover

  • Launch and log into Rockstar

  • Install Heroic Games Launcher. I used this to set it up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1QwvNmzAvU8

  • Download GTA V with Heroic

To play:

  • Start the Rockstar Games Launcher bottle in Crossover

  • Run GTA V from within Heroic

  • Cross fingers and hope it works

With:

  • 14" M1 max 32 core GPU

  • 1200p resolution

  • 90-100 fps in the benchmarks

  • "Low Power Mode" is ~70 fps

  • temps about 85 deg with fan at max

Good luck, friends!

Any luck with Steam and GTA V on M1 Max chips? I only get freaking “Unable to launch game, please verify your game data.” Error :/

Sorry I don’t have the steam version. However, I did get the same error with the EGS version before I set up and ran the Rockstar Games Launcher. Maybe try that?

Thanks a lot for this! I was able to get it working with both story mode and online (with other people) on all very high settings.

Has anyone been able to get mods working?

edit: USE THIS TUTORIAL INSTEAD, IT IS A LOT EASIER!!!

What is Crossover Nightly?

1
Wooloomooloo2•

Nightly builds are literally the latest approved pull request from the Dev team. It might fix something, break something, have a new feature etc. They're not tested beyond the developer team - in other words use at your own risk.

Nightly beta build pre-release

The Nightly is different from the beta, however in order to run GTA you only need the 21.1 beta, which in my experience is still more stable than the nightly.

Beta builds are not there anymore confirmed by support team

Stable couldn’t load Rockstar Launcher so I went straight to nightly. Good to know 21.1 beta works. Thanks!

I have a copy bought directly from Rockstar, no need steam or epic. Would that launch?

1
boptomOP•

I would love to know too! You might be able to install it directly from the Rockstar Launcher after opening that in crossover.

physical copy owner here, i was able to install it from the discs and run it through R* launcher on the 21.1 beta no problem. worked well enough to hop online and spend half an hour buying and customizing one of the tuner dlc cars.

1
GabZoFar•

Thanks for the update!! Mine is actually physical copy too :) what specs is your MBP and how’s the performance?

1
trevinkurgpold•

regular m1 pro with 16gb of memory. once i have it all set up with the latest DXVK build, it's pretty playable. theres a good amount of texture pop-in, but the stuttering i previously experienced is almost entirely gone.

I see you also checked the Andrew Tsai guide. Did you install any dependencies or enable anything in your Rockstar Games Launcher bottle?

1
boptomOP•

I did not. Only loaded it and logged into Rockstar account.

1
TheTaiwanese•

Thanks – will give this a try!

Edit: Game has launched, but just wanted to check with you – my game crashes when playing any of the Heist DLCs (Diamond/Cayo). Do you get this? It’s very specific lol, like when walking into Arcade for a setup; or when walking into casino penthouse during Cayo safe code setup. I haven’t noticed these instances of crashing in any other heist or mission.

1
boptomOP•

Good luck! Let me know if you need any help.

1
TheTaiwanese•

Same crashing issues in the heist aside, no problems yet. Have you experienced anything like this? (Just the specific cases above).

When I'm running the Rockstar Games launcher on Crossover, I'm getting an error popping up with a message like "Failed to connect to rockstar games library service". If any of you have faced the same error, how did you solve it?
