Evidence and/or notes worth mentioning:
Launching GTA V from steam, RageMP or Rockstar Games Launcher shows this screen:
This lasts for a good few minutes until eventually it stops and shows this:
Here are the multiple fixes I've tried so far:
Using a VPN. This does technically work, it allows me to log into my Rockstar social club account and play Gta V, although Im not able to play Eclipse using a VPN for obvious reasons (brings up the ban screen of some previously banned player that isn't me). For reference, I used Nord VPN
Reinstalled Rockstar Games Launcher and Social Club. Did this multiple times, it never worked.
Deleted the 'social club' folder in [user/documents/Rockstar Games] and restarted Rockstar Games Launcher. Did this countless times, it did not work.
Restarted pc. Also did this multiple times, never worked.
Unplugged ethernet cable. Did this two times, never worked.
Changed DNS address. This was a fix suggested a few times from my google searches, and people often recommended using Google DNS. I did this a few times, but alas it also didn't work
ipconfig /flushdns. Didn't work.
There was one other common suggestion I found online, and that was to reset my router. I cannot do this because I live in shared student halls, meaning I do not have access to the router.
The easiest fix would be for the VPN to be allowed on Eclipse, although I understand why it is not.
Any help is appreciated
