GTA V Enhanced crash on launch (exited unexpectedly / 0xc0000005), finally fixed

Posting this in case it helps someone, because I spent days on this.

My setup: ASUS ROG Strix G16 laptop, i9-13980HX, RTX 4060, Windows 11. Epic Games copy of GTA V Enhanced running through the Rockstar launcher.

The game would close before any window even showed up. The Rockstar launcher just said it exited unexpectedly, and the log showed exit code 0xc0000005. Same thing every single time.

What fixed it for me:

I changed two things, restarted, and it worked. I don't know which one actually did it, so I'd do both.

1. I updated all my Intel drivers using Intel Driver & Support Assistant (from intel.com/dsa). It updated the Intel graphics, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth drivers. I think this was the real fix, because the crash dump showed the Intel integrated graphics driver loaded inside the game. I'd only ever been updating the NVIDIA driver and forgot the Intel one matters too on laptops with two GPUs.

2. I set the Windows power mode to Best Performance when plugged in (Settings > System > Power & battery). A Windows update had reset mine to Balanced.

After both, restart the laptop and launch the game.

Stuff I tried before that didn't fix it on its own:

Verified game files in Epic and the Rockstar launcher. Deleted settings.xml. Checked the game folder for mods (there weren't any). Uninstalled the Rockstar launcher and Social Club, deleted their leftover folders and reinstalled. Completely deleted and reinstalled the game. Updated and clean installed the NVIDIA driver. Set GTA to NVIDIA GPU only in the NVIDIA control panel. Switched to dGPU only mode (Ultimate) in G-Helper. Turned off the NVIDIA overlay and Discord, and disabled all other overlays. Turned off Memory Integrity. Did a clean boot. Ran SFC and DISM, both clean. Ran a memory test, also clean. Rolled back the latest Windows feature update. Also checked the KB5124010 Windows update that Microsoft said crashes some games, but it wasn't the cause for me.

So if you're on a laptop with Intel plus NVIDIA graphics, try updating the Intel drivers before you reinstall anything. Would've saved me a lot of time.

One more thing: back up your Documents\\Rockstar Games\\GTAV Enhanced folder before following any guide that tells you to delete stuff.

Is there a way to avoid COPYRIGHTED STUFF SUCH AS SONG in radios

I have the equipment upgrade and mansion so I wanted to know what the quickest time you can go from 0% to 100% stock and using which boosters?

I activated the boost in the lab then went to my mansion to try to activate that boost but it wouldn’t let me so I’m guessing you can’t run both boosts simultaneously

Hey everyone!
I’m playing GTA Online on PS5 with GTA+ and PlayStation Plus Premium, and I’m working towards 100% completion in GTA V before the new GTA comes out!
Eventually, I want to complete both Story Mode and Online, but right now I’m focusing on Online because I can work towards the goals with other players. I’m aiming for 100% completion of everything: trophies, Career Progress, Awards, Collectibles and all the other challenges. I’d also love to get every possible phone contact along the way!
I’ve searched online, but I haven’t been able to find a complete, reliable list of every contact that can appear in the GTA Online in-game phone. Some contacts are unlocked through missions or progression, while others might simply need to be called. I’m not sure whether I already have them all or if there are still some I’m missing.
My current phone contacts:
Agent 14, Angel, Assistant, Brucie, Bryony, Captain, Charlie, Chastity, Cheetah, Dax, Downtown Cab Co., Emergency Services, English Dave, Franklin, Fufu, Gerald, Infernus, Imani, Jamal Amir, Junk Energy, Juliet, Lamar, Lazlow, Lester, LJT, Malc, Martin, Mechanic, Merryweather, Mors Mutual Insurance, Ms. Baker, Mutt, Nikki, Oscar, Paige, Pavel, Peach, Pegasus, Raf, Ron, Sapphire, Sessanta, KDJ, Simeon, Tony, Tom Connors, Wendy, Yohan, Vincent and Yung Ancestor.
Could you help me find the complete list?
Am I missing any phone contacts?
Are there contacts that require specific missions, properties, businesses or other unlock conditions?
Are there any contacts that can be added simply by calling them?
Are there contacts that are only available temporarily or depend on specific choices/progression?
I’d really appreciate any help, including names of contacts I might have overlooked and instructions on how to unlock them!
I’m hoping to build a genuinely complete list rather than just collect the most useful contacts. Thanks in advance!

I can launch game in offline mode and when I disable battle eye but that won't let play online of course but if I enable battle eye game just won't open , this didn't use to happen before
