How Can I Fix GTA 5 Error During Online Play?

No matter the platform (Windows, PS3, or Xbox One), Rockstar Game Services may not be available right away. Don’t worry there are many options to try.

So let’s get started now. Unfortunately, Rockstar Game Services are currently unavailable.

Once loaded into GTA V, head to the Online tab and select “Invite Only Session” once before jumping into the online game. In some cases, this may resolve your error issues. If this fails, try this.

Change Firewall Settings

Be sure to add any exceptions for GTA V in your Windows Firewall program. It is possible that your firewall program is preventing the game from running correctly or is preventing communication with the server as well.

Check Display Calibration

  • Experience GTA V on your console or PC.
  • While the game is loading, press and hold down either R1 or L1 buttons for several seconds until you see your Display calibration screen appear.
  • If the steps above don’t work, press and hold both L1 and R1 buttons for several minutes.
  • If you can see this Display Calibration screen, it means your game of GTA 5 Online is working perfectly for you.
  • Close the calibration screen and return to GTA V Online in order to confirm if it’s running or not.

Change DNS Settings

You could also change your DNS Settings using the game’s Network Settings and the Options menu. However, Windows users can directly go to Network Settings following the instructions in the following:

  • Finally, press Windows + R to launch the Run Dialog Box.
  • Enter “ncpa–cpl” and press Enter.
  • Right-click to select your Network Adapter (Ethernet), depending on whether you have a wired or wireless connection.
  • Select Properties > Double click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4).
  • Make a note or take a photo of your DNS server addresses, both the preferred and alternate DNS servers, in an organized fashion.
  • Once that has been done, change the DNS addresses to 8.8.8 for preferred and 8.8.4.4 for alternative DNS.
  • Once selected, click OK to confirm and make changes.
  • Console users can go to Setup Internet Connection in Network Settings and manually alter their DNS address.
  • Next, restart your console or computer and launch GTA V Online to identify the issue.

Restart your PC/Console

One popular and easy solution to fix game errors is by rebooting your Windows PC or console (such as Xbox One or PlayStation 3/4). Rebooting will usually fixed any software glitches or clear cache (if there’s any). However, if this technique doesn’t work for you, try the next trick instead.

Update Drivers

If none of these techniques work for you, look for updates to your graphics driver or other drivers for your PC, for instance, network drives.
