Quick question: is there any chance that the game will run without Epic's launcher spyware? Like Assassin's Creed Syndicate, which is supposed to run fine with Uplay only once registered/linked through the Epic launcher. Maybe the same is true for GTA V with the Rockstar launcher?

Ooga booga muh spyware aside,
I've got RDR2 on their launcher and it requires both launchers to run.
If I launch the Rockstar games client RDR2 appears but it has a button that says "Play on Epic Games"
But I do hope it only runs on 1 client for RAM/CPU usage reasons

So the game will be played on rockstar servers, and EGS players could play together with Steam players, is that correct?

Some people learn differemt languages to communicate with many people around the globe, other people just learn them to swear in different languages. But we learn them to tell the world that there is an unexpected error. :)

Lucky! I think I got Turkish once, but it's basically only been Spanish and English otherwise, so nothing too interesting. :(
Fingers crossed for eventually getting Lithuanian or Farsi!

There seems to be a small problem with the site. XD

The site is so overloaded, the Launcher's now displaying Chinese text, and other random languages :-D

One more epic display of ineptitude and how bad their store is.

pretty much, people are looking for reasons to hate epic when the same happens to both platforms.

Not really, their whole platform is down, you can't access your games, that doesn't happen on Steam.
Comment has been collapsed.
It has happened multiple times in the past. Not in relation to any individual game promotion, no, and so you'd be correct if you specified a bit more but, no, Steam definitely has had its platform go down on occasion, even across extended periods. The last time was even fairly recent. Hell, we've even got an entire thread here on SG dedicated to the topic.
Moreover, while less universal, there are plenty of less-large-scale issues with Steam that'll make it so some of us can't play games, especially following the UI update some time back. For example, I wasn't able to play games for a few consecutive days just a week or so ago (and Chat and other services have been mostly broken for me for an even longer period). It's really not an abnormal event for Steam at all, rare as it may be.
Comment has been collapsed.
Fair enough, but it's not a simultaneous widespread problem, definitely hasn't happened to me even on day 1 of seasonal sales. What was up with your client or account anyway?
Comment has been collapsed.
I've yet to have an issue that someone else hasn't had, but I've had a few that were seemingly rather rare. Even just going off Steam friends alone, there seems to always be others on my friends list who'll report similar issues. For whatever reason, Steam has always just been very erratic in who is affected by whatever new glitches it pops up.
Of course, that doesn't mean you can't come across user-specific issues. Those can typically be resolved by reinstalling Steam (not that Valve makes that entirely easy, you gotta carefully delete specific files to force a re-update, since it won't let you uninstall normally while any games are installed).
However, more typically the issues come in waves, affecting multiple users, and are resolved after a few updates. Though given that Steam has had me download ah, 60? updates over the past two weeks [part of that thanks to the fact that it keeps loading me into a new update prompt after updating, several times in a row], it's been a bit of a bizarre situation to deal with. Not sure yet if anyone else has had the issue, but the updates are definitely linked to the issues, as my services will go up or down specifically following a specific update (or chain of updates).
And no, as I said, simultaneous widespread issues are a thing. Here's the thread I mentioned. Last widespread, long-duration issue was January 30rd of this year, you can see quite a few comments made on the matter during that period. Looks like there've been some shorter duration or less-widespread issues since, as well.

Depends on the games. Even ones that don't use Steamworks multiplayer may use Steam as a portal for accessing a game, meaning you'd still be unable to connect. Conversely, on the other side of the spectrum, Steam does have some games that are configured as DRM-free without any cloud elements, and you won't even notice the lack of Steam server connection with those.
But yeah, as someone who used to exclusively play in offline mode, I can't argue that Steam mostly works fine without a server connection. If that's not the case for Epic, then that is certainly an issue.
Comment has been collapsed.
Haha so true. What is funny is Steam has been around for a long time and had many sales with this always happening and it still happens to this day. But Epic is bad because it happened now.

You should cry this Epic's issue in Steam tears because this often happens on Steam.

Not to that extent, on Steam you still be able to acces your games, right now on Epic you cant access jack shit.

I just notice that... This actually shows how they manage the DRM matter. I hope they learn a valuable lesson from this.

Perhaps you should also learn something, like not mocking people based on assumptions or not knowing the full extent of what's happening.

You were talking about the store. Don't try to ride in someone else's horse after you killed yours.
Comment has been collapsed.
Lol, now you're clinging to wording like the store and launcher aren't used interchangeably regularly. Speaking of horses you should get off your high horse. I swear you people cling to anything just to defend some soulless corporation for some reason, I didn't even compare it to Steam specifically, you just tagged me as some mindless Steam fanboy and mocked me unprovoked and somehow I'm the bad guy? Really? Seriously now.

Like there's a damn difference and they aren't used interchangeably when talking about them.

You're the one that replied my guy, with a baseless comment. Last time I checked Steam is both a launcher and a store and most people refer to it as a store without getting "um, actually" by someone. Same thing here chief. Have a good one.
Comment has been collapsed.
Epic fail for assuming a store is inept when they are giving away a free game of such scale. Steam shudders whilst continuing to milk the apt juicy robotic tit of its loyal fans.

Are we supposed to be impressed that they're (trying to) give away a 7 year old game that most people have already played by now? Is that how low the standards are?

Heck, even Discord had experienced it in the past.

Yup they DoS'ed heir own site and launcher, But still a top shelf offering for free which I wont complain about. The rush will taper off and we will be able to grab it soon enough¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Oh hey, I can finally try GTA V, I didn't like IV, and cause of IV I jumped ship to Saint's Row (I prefer unrealistic games).
Comment has been collapsed.
Same here. I mean, I enjoyed GTA Vice City... but that's most probably because of the 80's vibe. I tried playing San Andreas after that and thought it was an absolute snoozefest. Saints Row: The Third tho, I thought it was great. I just love the over-the-topness of the later Saints Row games.
As for GTA 5... I'm not interested, even for free.

Wooooo GTA V, can't believe this, finally I can try it out.
This is EPIC ;)

I managed to activate it. Apparently there'll be another mystery game. Could it be The Witcher 3?

I honestly wasn't expecting the site to be down. With so many people trash talking about epic games and complaining about epic games trying to make money like any other company in the world.... I thought maybe 1 or 2 people would be downloading the game.
WHAT A SURPRISE! are the epic cry babies downloading the game to??? Strange...

By this time, you should have had like 40 games free! It's just 3 clicks every week :) you should start getting those! I see you like free stuff, else you wouldnt be here on SG.

It's GTA5 after all, game is still top seller and top played. so people most likely will take 20-30 copies and resell them later, or will use cheats and finally ruin the game for everyone else, who bought the game legally. Thanks Epic xD

I might be wrong, but I was under the impression that you didn't get game keys when buying from Epic.

You can create multiple accounts and sell them on g2a, plati and many other websites... there's already many accounts for sale with free games from previous giveaways...
