this epic games account is already linked to a different social club account

[Ishulker]

Hello,

My friend got his issue that he can’t play GTA or RDR for that matter, because apparently his epic games acc is linked to a different social club acc. It worked one year ago – we haven’t played since.

The complete error message is: “this epic games account is already linked to a different social club account. Please log in with that social club account instead”. When he then tries to look in again with his social club, it says: log in failed. Log in with email address (which isn’t his email). But if he logs in online to social club, his email address works just fine.

Launching GTA straight from the Rockstar Games Launcher isn’t possible either, because he then gets redirected to epic games and then onwards to the same error message.

Have any of you encountered that problem and got a solution? I have found some reddit posts, but nothing worked so far. (Apparently the issue got more frequent in the past days)

 

Thanks for any help

Tell "your friend" to call/contact Rockstar.

 

You're doing everything we'd suggest, it's a simple login.

I got this error too, a couple days ago. When I start the game, it says "we couldn't sign you in automatically, please login manually using ***********@******.com". The problem is, that is not my e-mail, and definetely not my social club account. When I try to login with my only social club I actively use, it gives me the same error OP stated. I tried contacting Epic and Rockstar. Epic told me they couldn't help, and Rockstar ghosted me. I tried everything OP has already said, too.

I've seen reports and threads with this problem very recently. Thanks for any help.

Wanted to play this decade old game, and this pop up did ,,pop up" for me as well.

And then they are surprised when people pirate games...
