I was trying to play the epic games store version of GTA V with Heroic Games Launcher, but after a launcher update today, when i try to launch it, it fails with the error “The rockstar games services are unavailable and offline play could not be verified (code 134)” (at the moment of posting this, the rockstar web services are up and running)
This is really weird. I started seeing the same thing a couple of days ago, and switching Proton versions (latest/experimental, or even to wine) didn’t help. I also bit the bullet of completely reinstalling the game, without success.
The common “fix” for this posted online seems to be to change your DNS server or use a VPN. I’ve looked at my DNS traffic, it’s fine. Haven’t gotten around to trying a VPN yet. (the hypothesis being that rockstar IP-banned you for some reason. doesn’t make sense either, because I’m able to log in to the launcher initially)
i guess i will have to try in windows then
i looked on the reddit community and it seems to be a weird interaction between the rockstar launcher and heroic, looks like it works on lutris and someone mentioned a trick to make gta v work, i didnt tried any of those tricks, im going to try on windows first to make sure i didnt got banned due to some weird reason (although it shouldnt be the case, since i havent touched the online at all)
