As mentioned above we tried several solutions. So, some users have reported that the problem is caused by old graphics card drivers.

- Open the file with Notepad and search for “dx” until you see “<DX_Version value=”1″ />”
- Now simple change the value from 1 to 0 and save the file.
- Close the notepad and restart or start GTA 5 PC.
