GTA 5 infinite loading time/ loading story mode/ initializing social club fix!

-
Going straight to the point,
First of all set all exe files in GTA 5 directory (Default: C:\Program Files\Rockstar Games\Grand Theft Auto V) to "run as administrator" and set compatibility mode to Windows 7.

Run the game and wait for the game to log in to your rockstar account and show the activation window. If you are having the problem, the game will show loading story mode/ initializing social club for a very long time after that, probably forever! Press alt+tab to return to desktop(if alt+tab doesn't work keep a file explorer window open and then run the game).

Open the task manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) and you will see two "Social Club UI" processes. (For me there are always 2 Social club UI processes. If you see only one you can still try the following steps)
Right click on one of then and then click "go to process".
 Right click on the subprocess.exe and click on "set priority>>High/real-time. Do this for both subprocess.exe (if you see 2 such processes).

Then scroll to find GTA5.exe under the same tab and then right click on it and click on "set priority>>High (NOT realtime. If you set the priority to realtime, you might face audio issues in the game)
Return back to the game and wait for some time(1-2 minutes at max). It the game is not loading within 5 minutes, then my solution might not be working for you.

NOTE: Not all of the steps are necessary. I only mentioned all of those because I an not sure which one is actually solving the problem. I just did it all consecutively and then ran the game. You can experiment with the step at your liberty!

IF this solution is not working for you, you can try other things I found on the internet while I myself was trying to find a fix.

1. Uninstall rockstar social club and then reinstall. If you are seeing an error message that says uninstall all rockstar apps first or something like that, just delete the rockstar games folder from C:\program Files, C:\Program Files (x86), C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\local.(Where C is the windows installisation folder and set "show hidden files" in folder and view options to go to the last directory)
Delete the rockstar games folder from documents too, but before that backup the folder "GTA V" in Documents\Rockstar Games\ to preserve your same game. After running the game once, i.e. upto the point where the game logs you in, (so that the folder might be created) restore the backed up GTA V folder.
Download the setup and install with administrative privileges :
http://patches.rockstargames.com/prod/socialclub/Social%20Club%20v1.1.5.8%20Setup.exe

2. Create a new user and play with that account if you current username has special characters in it. Keep in mind the new username should consist only valid English alphabets.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Windows 8.1

-
Windows 8.1 have become quite a common topic among PC users. Some of us are marveling at the modern UI of windows 8 and the newer release, windows 8.1, while others are keen to find an excuse to hate windows 8 and 8.1. You will have to look no further than this post to find reasons to like or hate windows 8.1 First, reasons to consider Windows 8.1- ·          Modernistic User Interface ·          Exceptionally fast Operations System. ·          Improved performance to that of windows 8. ·          The feature “fast boot”, when enabled can boot up your PC under 4 seconds! Provided your hard disk is not too slow. It works like the hibernation mode only that ir doesn’t use up 4 GB of your hard disk space! ·          Microsoft has finally added the start button, though the start m...

Phenom vs Ryzen: Hexa-cores a decade apart (Part 4)

  CPU Benchmarks Before we get into the benchmarks, here is a specification comparison of the 3 processors (the dual core Phenom II X2 550 will be compared in a separate section). Starting off with the popular Cinebench benchmarks, Ryzen 5 5600X gets off to a flying start (more than flying start I should say) with a 319% lead over Phenom II X6 1055T in Cinebench R15. This goes on to show how misleading CPU comparison by core count can be.   Though both the processors are hexa-core parts, the performance disparity of over 4 times tells a different story which cannot be discerned by core count alone. Even with Simultaneous Multi-threading (SMT) disabled, I recon 5600X will still score more than double that of 1055T.  Moving on to Cinebench R20, we see more of the same. Single-core score of 5600X is much closer to the multi-core score of 1055T than its single-core score. That statement alone summarizes the graph quite nicely. 5600X was 223% faster than 1055T in single-c...

Phenom vs Ryzen: Hexa-cores a decade apart (Part 9)

 Conclusion While this article isn't comparable to the high standards of professional review, we still got some insight into the performance of Ryzen 5 5600X over the Phenom II 1055T. Over the course of this article, we saw the 5600X utterly dominate the decade old 1055T in everything we threw at it (well, I threw; you saw). Even though that is to be expected, the performance contrast between the two hexa-core processors and the absolute margins were still amazing( for me at least)  to look at!  AMD has come a long way to correct its misstep with the bulldozer architecture(the FX series). With a mountain to climb, AMD with Dr. Lisa Su at the helm laid the groundworks with the first generation of Ryzen. Flaunting a massive 52% IPC increase over the FX series, AMD took a giant leap to close the margins with Intel. Then on, its been one victory over another for AMD. Naysayers were left clinging to Intel's IPC and lightly-threaded workload (read: gaming) lead until the Ryzen ...
