Grand Theft Auto V Tips

Installing Epic Games / Heroic Games Launcher

GTA5 Epic Games Installation

To run the Epic Games version of GTA5, we need to install the Mac version of Heroic Games Launcher:


To Install:
1. Install Heroic Games Launcher: https://github.com/Heroic-Games-Launcher/HeroicGamesLauncher/releases
2. Link your Epic Games account to Heroic Games Launcher
3. Install GTA 5
4. Create new Windows 7 64-bit bottle with the name 'Heroic' (you can call this whatever you want, really, but if you name it anything other than Heroic you'll need to update this in Heroic Games Launcher)
5. Install Rockstar Games Launcher into this bottle



To Play:
1. Launch Rockstar Games Launcher from Crossover
2. Launch GTA 5 from Heroic Games Launcher
(Keep Rockstar Games Launcher running to play GTA 5, otherwise if you just launch from Heroic Games Launcher you will hit an indefinite loading screen)


Further Notes:
-I ran into some issues with the graphics settings not sticking and was in an endless loop of setting/restarting and setting again, I ended up running the graphics benchmark test in game which set the graphics for me and it finally stuck. I was able to update some further settings after this as well. There are some occasional stutter issues, but very much playable. This is using DirectX 10 per the in game graphics settings.
