As for GTA Online - a huge number of users play it every day, and developers pay a lot of attention to updates and product support, we can say that it is actively developing and pleasing players with new content. The graphics in the game are also on top: high-quality textures, thoughtful lighting and detailed special effects create a pleasant and realistic atmosphere, but there is a downside. High settings are a common cause of various crashes and errors on weak computers.
GTA 5: termination of work
It happens that players encounter various crashes, hangs and shutdowns of the game. If the game starts normally and you can play it, but sometimes it turns off spontaneously and you see the inscription "GTA 5: cessation of work", then most likely the reason lies in the lack of computer RAM. You should try to close third-party programs, for example, browsers and launchers from other computer games running in the background. You should also check if there is enough space on your hard disk, perhaps the failure is due to the fact that there is too little free space and the game may require space for technical reasons. In this case, the solution to the "GTA 5: termination of work" error will not be difficult - you should free up space on the disk where the game is installed, as well as on the system partition, since the amount of memory can be used to solve various problems related to the game’s performance.
If the game does not start at all
It also happens that the game does not work at all. In this case, the user will see a window with the inscription " Termination of GTA 5" at startup, directly on top of the launcher. If the game meets the minimum system requirements, and the computer is connected to the Internet, then the first thing to check is its files using Steam or Social Club, depending on the version, in half the cases this should help. If nothing has changed, update the video card drivers and try reinstalling GTA 5. Scan your computer for viruses, and then turn off the antivirus, if it is at the time of loading or installing - there may be a conflict between the bootloader and your protection.
If all else fails
If you tried everything, but still see the inscription "GTA 5: termination of work", then perhaps your computer has malware, viruses, or there are problems with drivers and system files. However, there may be other reasons. In this case, the only way out is to write to Rockstar Games technical support on the official website.
They will answer quickly enough, they may be asked to indicate additional information and offer step-by-step instructions for solving your particular problem. It goes without saying, this applies only to those who have a license for GTA 5, and the pirated version will not serve technical support, and the methods described above may not work.
