Ko chơi đc online đã đành, offline cũng no hope luôn ạ :sweat::sweat: Có cao nhân nào giúp chơi đc offline ko ạ, mua 50$ xong làm cảnh . :sogood:

Mình vất vả cả ngày đầu tiên mới mò ra được cách vào game.Vào xong lại không save được nữa đó :gach:.Cách cuối cùng mình dùng là cài lại win cho chắc, và cuối cùng mình hiểu ra là tại sao nó bị lỗi.Đó là vấn đề các use được sử dụng tại máy tính.Nhiều use quá nên nó loading để tìm cái folder rockstar của mình nên mới không vô được.Bác nào cứ lỗi loading hay save thì cứ cài lại win hoặc tạo use mới (đối với win 8) :byebye:
