Have you tried the standalone version of the launcher on the Lutris website?

Hope you'll get it sorted.

Oh wow, I downloaded that old patched version (Standalone-1.0.36.344) looking at the install script and it seems to be working correctly!

I guess when I tried installing it from Lutris it automatically used the other method, which downloads the latest version of the Rockstar Launcher that seems to be broken.

Now I need to wait about 2 hours to see if GTAV works correctly, but this is awesome, thank you very much!

And I just had to upgrade my wifi card to handle 600Mbps and not throttle my PC’s connection to 200. Now it takes me like 30min to download GTA V. I wish you guys some much deserved fiber infrastructure, sincerely your eastern neighbor

I see you have already solved this with lutris, but checkout also https://heroicgameslauncher.com/ for epic.

Heroic had the same problem for me, I think it’s because it installs the latest Rockstar Launcher.

I'm actually using Bottles. What I needed is the Rockstar Launcher installer that is patched and hosted by Lutris. This one:

First of all, make sure that Steamworks Common Redistributables is installed because according to the steamdb page for GTA 5 it requires vcrun2022 and d3dx9 installed from winetricks (or protontricks) which it normally gets from the Steamworks Common Redistributables automatically.

From my admittedly very brief research, it doesn't look like you can play GTA 5 online if you skip the launcher but if you want to just play offline you can set your Steam Launch Options by right clicking the game and going to properties. If you set it to %command% -scOfflineOnly that will skip the launcher but disable multiplayer.

You can also try setting the Steam Launch Options to PROTON_USE_WINED3D=1 %command% which forces Proton to use the OpenGL driver rather than the Vulkan driver for D3D.

Thank you for the help, but it seems that the Rockstar Launcher already took care of that. It installs all the needed dependencies at the start.

It runs online fine too.

The only three problems I'm seeing are:

Rockstar overlay not showing the mouse cursor.
Inconsistent frame timing (or whatever is called). It doesn't run as smooth as it should.
Anisotropic filtering seems to not work. I don't see any difference with it off or x16. On Windows I remember I needed to force it with the AMD options.

Looks like an overlay mishap.
The launcher requires some perquisites that may not be available on Linux .
If you can, I'd suggest finding out what those perquisites are and whether any of them don't work for Linux or have alternatives.
