Rockstar Games Launcher not opening back up after game closes

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hi,

After I have installed the latest V-Patch, the Rockstar Games Launcher is not re-opening after quitting the game. Somehow, I managed to get two windows of the launcher, so only the active window closed when I launched the game, while the other one remained open.

The open window of Rockstar Games Launcher reports the game is still running and refuses to exit without closing the game. If I try to press on "Exit Game", the launcher tries to close what is running, but never actually does so.

Also, the game does not send to Rockstar the latest savegame update, so the Launcher keeps asking me every time I close the game (and keep that second window running) which savegame I want to keep: the one on their server or the local one.

My assumption is that dinput8.dll is causing some part of the game not to quit, probably the one responsible for reporting savegame changes to Rockstar.

Try disabling the hibernation option in Rockstar launcher, many people have reported it doesn't work properly.

At this point, the issue has been fixed by reinstalling the launcher. Haven't tried playing LA Noire since, however.
Once I do, I'll report back and try your suggestion as well.
For now, I'll close the issue.
