Game fails to start from shortcut file.
Hey, need some help with GTA 5. The desktop shortcut isn’t loading, and even after reinstalling the game it still doesn’t work.
Navigate to the GTA installation directory, locate PlayGTA.exe, and click it to copy it to the desktop. This is the default location where the game launches. Steam typically opens a webpage in Steam, then starts GTA. Epic Games may behave differently. Using this method skips the launcher and should initiate the game directly.
