Describe the bug

After uninstalling the official Epic Games launcher and installing Heroic on my PC running Windows 10, when I open Grand Theft Auto 5, the launcher with the Rockstar DRM opens without problems, but when it tries to start the game, nothing happens and this message appears.

I have tested the Heroic launcher on a different device that never had an installation of the official Epic Games launcher using Windows 11 and this problem has not occurred. Some trace of the Epic Games launcher installation must be preventing the Heroic/Legendary protocol from being associated correctly.

I have tried changing the com.epicgames.launcher protocool on the registry myself using this .reg file I manually modified, but nothing seems to happen. 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install the official Epic Games Launcher.
  2. Install Grand Theft Auto V and the Rockstar Launcher through EGS.
  3. Run Grand Theft Auto V once through EGS.
  4. Uninstall Grand Theft Auto V, Epic Games Client, and the Rockstar Launcher through a tool like Revo Uninstaller.
  5. Install Heroic.
  6. Install Grand Theft Auto V and the Rockstar Launcher through Heroic.
  7. Run Grand Theft Auto V once through Heroic.

Expected behavior

I expected a full re-installation of Heroic to fix the broken link association in the registry, but no.

I too was facing this error when i downloaded gta5. Any reasons? I am currently on Windows 11.

for rockstar games to work, use the workaround explained in discord https://discord.com/channels/812703221789097985/1210747284086849578 (I should actually move it to a wiki page at some point)

I guess you first need to join the discord server before opening that link, check https://discord.gg/rHJ2uqdquK

I added a wiki page to make it easier https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/wiki/Rockstar-Games:-Code-134-Error-(workaround)

LutherNikolaevich commented 3 months ago

It still doesn't fix the one I'm facing, it only launches the rockstar launcher image even if you wait for a decade, the game won't gonna launch.

It didnt work for me either, instead first open rockstar game launcher then set the alternate exe file to playGTA5.exe and then open the game using heroic launcher, then after some delay, it should work.
