Found a fix for this on the Heroic Game launcher discord, you apparently need to start the Rockstar launcher and then start the game with the launcher already running.

The user queenbiscuit311 posted this batch script to automate it over there.

start /B "null" "C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Launcher\LauncherPatcher.exe"

ping -n 10 localhost > nul

start heroic://launch/legendary/9d2d0eb64d5c44529cece33fe2a46482

Can something be done about this? I have the same issue when trying to launch GTA V. The fix mentioned above doesn't do anything for me (I didn't even use Heroic before this and installing it changed nothing). The Rockstar Games Launcher is running, so this isn't the problem. I can't start the game at all like this.

Open a terminal as an administrator and paste this: reg add HKCR\com.epicgames.launcher (alternatively you can open the registry and add com.epicgames.launcher key yourself to HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT).

This is what helped for me. Then I started the game with legendary launch 9d2d0eb64d5c44529cece33fe2a46482 and the Rockstar Games Launcher asked me to link my accounts. And in fact it DIDN'T work when I ran the legendary command with the launcher open, I had to close it first.

So in short, add the registry key, close everything, run the game with legendary launch <game ID>
