GTA 5 PC Infinite Loading Screen

[jiyeon]

Hi, so I recently bought GTA 5 on sale so I can play GTA again but this time on my PC. I had it up and running yesteday completely fine until I forced-quit the game yesterday night after an infinite load happened.

 

It's now the next day, and I'm experiencing the infinite loading screen once more, but this time from a Steam launch and not an in-game session, I waited upwards of 12 minutes, what a waste of time.

 

I need a simple solution to this.

Did you try to mod it at all or is this a clean install of the game?

I installed it literally yesterday and had it running up fine, but today I haven't even been able to load in.

I’ve been experiencing the same during random loading times in online. Not entirely sure why, as last time I played the game (probably 6+ months ago) there were no problems (other than GTA V just generally being long to load).

have you tried doing a hard restart and reopening the game?

you could also try reinstalling or repairing the game

Re-installing the game is a last resort for me, it took a total of 8 hours for that to install. I've validated files on Steam, re-opened the game multiple times, all the basic standard stuff.

That's when I just have my pc run overnight to install.

This is a common bug in GTA. If this is occurring while loading into a GTA Online session, suspending the task will force the game to load you into an empty session. Do this by completing the following:

• Open Task Manager
• Go to the Performance Tab
• Open Resource Monitor (bottom left)
• Go to the Memory tab
• Find a process called GTA5
• Right Click > Suspend Process
• Wait 5-10 seconds, the game will be completely frozen during this period
• Right Click > Resume Process

Did you try turning your computer off and putting it on again?
