Talk about Grand Theft Auto and you cannot exclude the name of Rockstar Games. They offered their own game launcher and started to offer Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas for free. But the CAPTCHA error Rockstar Games is keeping many gamers at bay.
If you have been facing the same issue recently and wondering why there is such a problem, you are not alone. Many players are facing the same issue and you or your PC are not to blame. Full details are below.
CAPTCHA Error Rockstar Games
While attempting to sign in on the platform a CAPTCHA error annoyingly keeps you out despite multiple attempts to get in. I faced the same issue as I anticipated an immersive experience in the imaginary and liberal world of San Andreas soon after installing the launcher.
But soon I found the tweaks that helped me get inside the platform. Now I can play the game whenever I want. Sign in and out of the launcher at will without any restrictions. I have collected all the solutions from forums and online platforms and gathered them for you here.
To solve the CAPTCHA error, here is what you need to do. Simply follow the steps or solutions in sequence. If one of them works for you, you do not need to go to the next one. You are good to go and play the game right away.
Starting with the App Tweak
This is the first one, I am giving it priority because this is the number one cause of nuisance for many gamers. You could be on the list, so it is time to begin the quest for the solution with this settings change.
- First, make sure you have closed Rockstar Games Launcher from the computer screen.
- Even make sure it is not running in the background by checking the system tray or the background processes from Task Manager.
- In the next step go to Security settings on your Windows Operating System and say goodbye to firewall protection or antivirus program. But don’t worry this is a temporary step and you will reactivate it soon.
- Now go to the installed folder of your game by choosing the right directory. If you had not changed the default installed folder here is the path for you ‘C:\\Documents\Rockstar Games\Social Club’ move from one folder to the next by following this path and reach ‘Social Club.’
- Now, all you need to do is to delete this ‘Social Club’ folder.
- Once the process is complete and you are sure the folder does not exist on the computer’s hard disk then it is time to restart your computer. For this go to the start menu and click on the Power button. From here chose ‘Restart.’
- After the computer gets back to life with a proper restart. It is time to open Rockstar Games Launcher.
- Here the launcher will ask you to sign in to your Social Club account. With a CAPTCHA reappearing on the screen.
- Put in your usual email, and password and click the box of ‘I am not a robot.’
- Now fill in the CAPTCHA and submit.
It should work for you. If it does not try the same process of deleting the folder. But this time do not restart the computer. Rather you will relaunch the app and attempt the sign in.
Keep Submitting CAPTCHA
This is yet another trick that some gamers have mentioned on online platforms. In this case, you need to keep submitting CAPTCHA. Initially, it will show the same CAPTCHA error Rockstar games as usual.
But you need to be persistent. Simply move to the next set of pictures on the screen and fill them. But do not click on submit button yet. At least wait for 20 seconds and then press the blue ‘Submit’ button on the screen. It will get you in.
Adjust Time Zone
If the time set on your computer device is conflicting with the real-time, then you could face the CAPTCHA error on your screen every time you attempt to sign in to the game launcher to play GTA IV.
But the solution is very simple. Just go to Settings from the search button from Windows bottom and find ‘Time & Language.’ Here just toggle on the ‘Set time automatically’ from the top of the Windows screen. Now launch Rockstar launcher. It should allow you this time.
Final Words
CAPTCHA error Rockstar Games is a very common error faced by players on computers. There are a few solutions used by gamers. One of these will definitely work for you. Try them following the sequence and you will be able to solve the problem. Happy exploring San Andreas!
