Can someone help me installing the Rockstar Launcher so I can play GTAV? (transparent rectangle) (lemmy.world)

Hi,

I have GTAV on the Rockstar Launcher (and on Epic) but I can't install it because the Rockstar Launcher has a weird rectangle covering the upper left part of the screen when I open it up. You can see what I mean here.

I tried installing it from Steam, adding the launcher as a non Steam game. I tried with Bottles, Heroic and Lutris too. And every time I get the same bug. That invisible rectangle (moving windows on top of it I could make it appear as painted, but it's normally transparent) that sits on top of every window. I also tried different Proton versions and login in on the X11 session to no avail.

I don't know what more I could try. I can't find anything online about this mysterious rectangle.

My specs are:

Operating System: Bazzite 39

KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.10

KDE Frameworks Version: 5.113.0

Qt Version: 5.15.12

Kernel Version: 6.6.14-201.fsync.fc39.x86_64 (64-bit)

Graphics Platform: Wayland

Processors: 12 × AMD Ryzen 5 5600 6-Core Processor

Memory: 15.5 GiB of RAM

Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon RX 6600

Any kind of help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

EDIT: fixed it running the Lutris patched installer !

Thank you for your help!

Have you tried the standalone version of the launcher on the Lutris website?

Hope you'll get it sorted.

Oh wow, I downloaded that old patched version (Standalone-1.0.36.344) looking at the install script and it seems to be working correctly!

I guess when I tried installing it from Lutris it automatically used the other method, which downloads the latest version of the Rockstar Launcher that seems to be broken.

Now I need to wait about 2 hours to see if GTAV works correctly, but this is awesome, thank you very much!

Damn, downloading GTAV in 2 hours would be my dream... Fucking internet in Germany.

And I just had to upgrade my wifi card to handle 600Mbps and not throttle my PC’s connection to 200. Now it takes me like 30min to download GTA V. I wish you guys some much deserved fiber infrastructure, sincerely your eastern neighbor

That's great to hear! I hope GTAV will work now, have fun!
