@FreezIn - I messed around all day yesterday trying to get the social club/warehouse version to run offline, and even tried to roll back to an older version. Had a bit of luck with the GTA Launcher Bypass, but still ended up not working without crashing. Seems to be impossible to do. Just use the 1103 shv (Just look up how to get it - I can't/won't provide a link, sorry).
Getting (Un)Stuck on Steam Overlay
Many GTA 5 PC players report being stuck in a loop where they're unsure if their accounts actually linked to Social Club or note (there isn't really any feedback letting you know if you're successful or not).
Social Club actually opens the Steam overlay in some cases, covering an 'OK' button on the bottom right-hand side. If you close the Steam overlay with the SHIFT+TAB combination, you should be able to see the button and link the accounts!
After Linking Your Accounts to Social Club
After you successfully link your Steam and Social Club accounts, you may receive an error because Social Club fails to boot. In this case, Rockstar suggests uninstalling the Social Club program and manually reinstalling it from this support page.
Always ensure your Steam cache is verified as well. Right-click the game in your Steam library and click 'Properties'. Then you'll want to click the 'Local' files tab. And then you'll click 'Verify integrity of Game Cache'. If you need to manually add GTA 5 to Steam, click here.
