Dear Steam Customer,
We recently learned of an issue that can impact players attempting to install Grand Theft Auto V on Windows PCs. For those experiencing this issue, you have three options available to you at this time.
First, Rockstar Games intends to have a fix for this issue soon.
Second, customers can try the manual work around detailed below.
Third, if neither of the above works for you, the self-refund tool will continue to be available until the official fix is released.
We apologize for the inconvenience, and thank you for your patience.
Please see below for more information from Rockstar Games, including details on the manual workaround.
The Steam Team
We have identified an issue where players with Windows usernames that include characters not found in the table at the bottom of this page will likely run into difficulties when attempting to download, install, or play GTAV. We are currently working on a fix for this issue.
If you do not want to wait for a fix, you need to create a new Administrator User Account for your Windows system that only includes letters A to Z, a to z or numbers 0-9 from the basic roman alphabet. For a full list of supported characters, see the table at the bottom of this page. Please note that simply renaming your current User Account will not correct this issue. To create the account, follow these instructions from the Microsoft website:
Windows 8/8.1:
Windows 7:
Windows Vista:
We will update this support article with any new information as soon as we have it, including expected timing of a fix and whether you will be able to transfer progress on the newly-created Windows username over to your original Windows user account.
If you would like to receive an automatic update via email when there is more information about a fix, please log into the Support Site and click Subscribe at the top of this page.

Looks like nobody grabbed a screenshot for posterity. I just copied the title of this topic into the console to reproduce what it would have looked like.
Looks extra awesome with the burning Oracle plane, I must say.
public Exception sum(int x, int y)
{
if (x < 0 || y < 0)
{
return new InvalidOperationException("You're doing it wrong.");
}
if (x > 1000 || y > 1000)
{
return new ArgumentOutOfRangeException("This operation is rate-limited. Please try again in 23 hours 59 minutes.");
}
if (x != x || y != y)
{
return new Threading.ThreadStateException("You clicked the like button twice and encountered a race condition");
}
if (x == 42)
{
return new NotImplementedException("Not priority for V1.0");
}
return new Exception(); //should never happen
}
JTFY
Scrolling up and down is obviously doing it wrong but I think left to right isn't taking the paradigm shift far enough. I'd personally like to see X- and Y-axis scrolling phased out in favour of using the Z-axis.
BTW @kevinranks, welcome to TDWTF. Here; meet @blakeyrat. He occasionally makes valid arguments, and at other times makes death threats. Don't worry too much about it.
Our company is planning a new dev project and part of it will be outsourced (Yes! WTF#1, but not TRWTF). Said dev company claims various accreditation, so I ask them to produce it. Lo and behold, they actually do. They provide me with photos of all the certificates. Notbad.jpg.
So, first up: they are claiming compliance with ISO XYZ, certified by company A? Alright; time to go to Company A's website and check this. What? No way to verify a certificate with a registration number or certificate ID? Bah... I'll fire off an email to them.
Second: they claim compliance with ISO ABC certified by company B. Same process, and this time I'm greeted with a website that was last touched in around 2000, but it just about works. I am able to enter the certificate number and... I just get back an empty form. Is that correct? I try a few more things. Then, just for the hell of it, I try entering ' OR 1=1--
and I am presented with a Connection Reset browser error. Nice! Getting somewhere... I go back and change it to ' OR 1<2
and...
Sweet... So we can see they tried to prevent SQL injection by looking for 1=1
but not actually using parameters etc. That's a pretty neat fail, but OK, I honestly don't have time to mess around with this any further. The important thing is that I can see there is a LIKE '%'
in there, so I try a substring of my given certificate ID and presto! It works, and shows me what I want to see.
So, finally, I see they claim they are a Microsoft Certified Partner. So cue half an hour of searching for a way to check this. Nope. Neither Microsoft nor Google know nothing about it (lost count of the number of useless outdated Microsoft sub-sites I've seen over the years that are still up). But the final blow to my sanity is the 'certificates' they give to the companies. They are actually glass/plastic/metal plaques that look pretty nice, and are stamped with whatever specializations your company has. They vary from year to year, but they look similar to that below...
However, do you spot a potential problem? Go on; take another look. I'll wait.
...
...
Yeah... I have no way to verify this plaque actually belongs to said company, because there is no fucking company name or registration number anywhere on it.
So, I'm shocked to say, in this particular case, Microsoft is more of a WTF than SQL injection.
I think it's spelled browscourse over there.
I see what you did there...
It would be interesting to see what the most popular tags were for these noisy comments. I'm guessing jQuery would be one.
I wish I had the time and patience to do it!
However, this Meta article on auto-flagging comments is very interesting.
Ah yes... I forgot about the nightmares of command line arguments.
Revive this topic?
Yeah, go on. I'm feeling lucky. Anyway...
I was wondering, if someone were to write a bot that looked for unanswered questions, ran it through a Google search, and picked the top result that wasn't equal to the current question... How much rep could it get?
I've never had trouble putting spaces in filenames on Ubuntu. Is this an issue with older or other more generic distros? Does the same issue apply with Unicode characters in paths?
Yes, I believe that's probably the most common cause of failure for Western users. Space isn't on the allowed character list.
I switched from Firefox to Chrome too in the last couple of months on my home machine. It started out as an experiment to see if it was actually possible. For the most part, it works pretty well., but I still think its UI setup is vastly inferior to Firefox for a few reasons...
Not directly related to Chrome itself, but the Chrome webstore (addons site) is absolutely terrible. You cannot view an extension's details outside of the tiny little overlay window it gives you, and browsing comments/reviews is a mere afterthought (you also cannot edit or remove comments left there).
I continue to use Firefox at work, and I could switch back at home at any time, but fact is, they're both pretty similar in most respects.
I still wish Mozilla would fix their fucking decade-old bugs though.
Let's continue with a slightly lesser WTF... Please Rockstar, make me to math.
Also nice to see that people haven't wasted any time in documenting the Social Club JSON endpoints for future hacking fun.
