By the way, this might have to do with the end of support for windows 7 and 8

Same here, but I found a workaround. Keep Steam on, and open Rockstar launcher(LauncherPatcher.exe) via Whisky manually. Login and scan games first, and clicking PLAY ON STEAM to play GTA V from Rockstar launcher would be fine.

Update: Enable DXVK might help, but I leave it off.

I've encountered the same issue too, and here is the log file of the Rockstar Game Launcher. launcher.log

My is LauncherPatcher.exe, I also heard about to enable DXVK help, but I keep it off and game still works.

Me too here , I used Heroic to run GTAV by Whisky but It just won't open saying GTAV doesn't support Windows7,8 anymore

Can confirm that the workaround works although I did launch the Rockstar Games Launcher with the Launcher.exe file and that would only work if the bottle had DXVK enabled (the same error would come up if DXVK wasn't enabled so I'm thinking the culprit ties in with this somehow that's backed up by Windows 7/8 support for the launcher ending). By doing those steps I can launch GTA V. I also encountered the same error in Crossover too but haven't had chance to recreate the workaround in Crossover so can't confirm if that works there Whisky 1 Whisky 2

For me it kinda "works" with DXVK but the graphics are insanely bad, green windows without MSAA and with that turned on it looks like a Family Guy Scene. Is there any possible way to solve this too?
