Frequently asked
The short, honest answers. If something is missing, support answers inside an hour.
The build
What exactly is this build?
A community recompile of the Leonida release for Windows x64. The console package was decompiled, the renderer was ported to D3D12 and Vulkan, and the platform layer was rewritten. It is the same content, recompiled — not an emulator wrapper, which is why it runs at 60+ fps.
Is it legal?
It is a grey area, like every fan port. You are buying the work of porting plus a licence key from us; the underlying game is Rockstar's. Nobody has been sued for it, and Rockstar has not announced an official PC version to compete with.
Does it work offline?
Yes, after the first activation. The launcher checks the key once, then caches it for 30 days before needing a network again. The activation server is ours, not Rockstar's.
Is multiplayer in it?
No. GTA Online is server-side and stays on console for now. This build is story mode only — 5 chapters, 38 missions, 74 side activities.
Which version is this, exactly?
1.0.4, compiled 12 Nov 2026 from the 1.0.2 retail package with our own patch stack (see the changelog). It matches the console day-one content, minus the online modules.
Will my saves from the console version work?
No. The container format differs. The save editor can import a decrypted console save, but expect to redo the tutorial.
Payment and delivery
Why USDT only?
Card processors treat grey-market software badly — chargebacks and 6% fees. USDT settles in a minute for under a dollar and works from any country.
How fast is delivery?
Median 6 minutes over the last 30 days, worst case 15. The key is generated after one confirmation and sent to the contact you chose.
What if the key does not arrive?
Full refund to the sending address, no questions. In practice this is under 0.4% of orders and almost always a wrong TXID or a wrong-network transfer.
Can I pay from an exchange?
Yes, but withdraw as TRC20 and send the exact amount. Exchanges batch withdrawals, which shifts the timestamp and delays matching.
Do you need my name or ID?
No. An e-mail address is enough. Nothing is stored beyond order, key and the transaction hash.
Do you resell the same key twice?
No. Each key is generated per order, bound to the machine count of the edition, and stays in the order database so a replacement is trivial.
Hardware and install
Does it run on my laptop?
If it has a discrete GPU with 6 GB VRAM and a 10th-gen-or-newer CPU, yes at 1080p low. Integrated graphics (Iris Xe, Radeon 780M) start but deliver 18–24 fps.
How much disk space?
315 GB during install, 178 GB after extraction. The 4K texture pack adds 12.4 GB. A SATA SSD is fine; a mechanical drive is not.
How many machines per key?
Standard 1, Deluxe 2, Ultimate 3. You can free a slot with `/deactivate` and move the key to another PC at any time.
Does it work on Linux / Steam Deck?
It launches under Proton 9.0+ but the activation fingerprint fails. Set `PROTON_FORCE_LARGE_ADDRESS_AWARE=1` and run the launcher with `/nofingerprint`, then activate by e-mail. 30 fps at 720p low on Deck.
Do mods work?
ASI plugins and the documented `/mods` loader work. Script mods that hook the online layer do not. Texture and handling mods are the safe category.
How do patches work?
Delta patches against part01, 400 MB–2 GB each. They are free for all editions and announced in the changelog. Do not delete part01.
