This step-by-step guide is designed to assist you in removing any mods from FiveM/GTA V, as well as verifying and repairing your copy of Grand Theft Auto V. Whether you purchased the game through Rockstar, Epic, or Steam, we’ve got you covered.
Why Might You Need to Validate Your Game Files?
There could be several reasons why you may need to validate and Repair Your GTA V files:
- You’ve installed or made modifications to your game files
- Your game is out of date
- An update wasn’t applied properly
- Your files have become corrupted
By validating your files, you’re essentially allowing the platform from which you purchased GTA V to re-download any invalid files. Please note that if numerous files are corrupted or modified, the download might be quite large (1-10+ GB), and any modifications will be removed.
Repairing with Rockstar Social Club Launcher
To validate your game files through Rockstar Social Club Launcher, you’ll need to use the Command Prompt on your PC. Here’s the step-by-step process:
- Locate the directory where you’ve installed GTA V. The default location is typically:
C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V\
- Press the ⊞ Win key on your keyboard to bring up the start menu, type in Command Prompt, and press ↵ Enter to start it.
- Once the Command Prompt is open, change directories to your game files by typing:
cd C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V
. If your game is installed in a different folder or drive, use that path instead. - After successfully changing the directory, type the following command to verify your game files:
GTAVLauncher.exe -verify
. The Rockstar launcher will now verify your game files.
