In this video, I'll show how to fix the Rockstar Games Launcher authentication error in GTA 5 (including GTA V Legacy and GTA V Enhanced). This is also known as the error "An error occurred while authenticating with rockstar games services" which occurrs in Rockstar Games launcher. This is a problem that happens in the Rockstar Games Launcher when trying to play. To fix this problem, make sure to follow all the steps shown in my video.

It's useful to note that this is mostly a problem with the Rockstar Games launcher itself (the software), and not with the Rockstar Games account. In other words, we can fix this problem by working on some things related to the launcher, and not to the account.
