Common problemGTA 5Windows PC
Rockstar Games Launcher can't connect
Launcher stuck offline or failing to sign in
The Rockstar Games Launcher can't reach Rockstar's services, so you can't sign in or start your games. Rockstar points to outages, slow connections, closed ports and DNS trouble.
Fix it
How to fix it
Check the Rockstar Games Service Status page for the launcher.
Run a speed test and try a wired connection if you use Wi-Fi.
Open UDP ports 6672, 61455, 61456, 61457 and 61458.
Set your DNS to 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, then restart the launcher.
