So I was searching online on how to transfer the PC version to another PC with out having to download the tremendous file; however I got no results than people wondering how. I figured out how to do this with the non-steam version and the steam version is much more straight forward with the backing up method.
1.Make sure GTA V on the installed PC works FLAWLESSLY. the last thing you want is a corrupted gta V on two computers instead of one.
2.Load the game at least once to make sure ALL the files are created.
3.You will need a storage drive that can hold GTA V plus a little extra.
4. Copy the following files to the storage drive:
C:Users(username of computer 1)DocumentsRockstar Games
C:Program FilesRockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto V
OPTIONAL but just in case
C:Program Files (x86)Rockstar Games
(if you changed the dirrectory for these files find them and place them in the correct location)
5.On the PC that you are copying files TO and install social club using the download link below
http://patches.rockstargames.com/prod/socialclub/Social%20Club%20v1.1.5.6%20Setup.exe
6.Follow the instructions and install social club and close it after installation.
7.copy to the user info from the old computer to the new computer into the documents. This should allow the user to continue playing GTA V from where they left off in single player.
copy this:
C:Users(username of computer 1)DocumentsRockstar Games
into this:
C:Users(username of computer 1)Documents
8.Copy the GTA V game from C:Program FilesRockstar GamesGrand Theft Auto V
into the file C:Program FilesRockstar Games
THIS IS CRITICAL AND IS THE MAIN HEART OF THE GAME AND IS THE MAIN PORTION OF THE 60GIGABYTES.
9.Check if social club is installed correctly and is the file C:Program Files (x86)Rockstar Games is about 78.0 mbs.
10.If it is not copy the updated version from the computer with GTA V on it into the folder
11. CRITICAL!!!!!! log in to social club on the web browser of your choice and then go to https://socialclub.rockstargames.com/activate
and click download for windows for GTA V. This is only 150 mbs and will save A LOT of time over the 60 GB.
12. Proceed to install GTA V using the installer. This will install C++ and DirectX that wont be installed if you just copied the game directly over.
13. If done correctly it should have a 53mb update and complete and say that GTA V is ready to play.
This process may seem complicated however I was able to do it in 20 min with copying over using SSDs. and it is also much faster than downloading the whole 60 GBs.
