Rockstar Social Club Email Not Sending, Recaptcha Not Working

Ever since GTA 5 has been released on the Epic Games Store for free yesterday, things have not been working. First it was the EGS servers, getting hammered by thirsty players, and now it’s the Rockstar Social Club. You’d think if anyone was ready to handle a lot of traffic, it would be these two. Now a lot of players are complaining about the Rockstar Social Club verifaction email not sending, as well as the recaptcha not working. This guide will help you deal with both of those issues.

GTA 5 Rockstar Social Club Verification Email Not Sending

GTA 5 social club verification mail not sending

A lot of people are having an issue with the social club activation mail not sending. Even after pressing the “resend” button several times, they aren’t getting their verification mail. You could try doing it via the website instead of the launcher. Apart from that, there’s nothing you can do about this – you’ll just have to wait this one out. We received ours after 45 minutes of waiting, so your best bet would be to leave the thing alone and give it a day or so. You’ve already claimed the game for free, and it’s not going anywhere. On our another account we are still waiting for verification mail – 4 hours later!

Social club recaptcha not working

The other widespread issue is with the infamous recaptcha humanity test. A number of players have reported that no matter how carefully they choose their answers, the results always end up wrong. This one requires both patience and persistence. Just keep trying until you get a lucky break and manage to convince the robot you’re human after all. It might take you a dozen clicking sessions before you’re finally through, so just keep at it.

Both of these issues are almost certainly down to the insane amount of people trying to get through, so just give it some time.

    why does it take 8 f*****g hours to get a email to verify my account that is so braindead that you have to spend 10 hours on download and the same amount of time to create an account to play the game

    It’s truly mystifying that they’re beyond clueless on a fix or how this could get out. Something that has a huge impact on their bottom-line and yet no fix, STILL!

    “Your computer or network may be sending automated queries.” is what i am getting and it’s also saying my password is incorrect. so now, i cant play red dead which I just bought, nor can I play gta. ok. guess it’s time to refund and uninstall and not play r* games anymore? Im not allowed anymore? Thanks recaptcha.

    I did a small combo of a couple of suggestions: used an Ingocnito page via Chrome — btw, my Chrome is outdated, using WinXP. Went directly to the Rockstar Games website to create a new account. (The info they want from you is SO MUCH LESS than what you are required to fill out via the Launcher.) Used the Audio Option for the captcha, considering the hell I went thru previously with the many, many pages of Matching Pics captcha. WENT THRU IN A SNAP!!! *sigh* And yeah, the game was HOURS to download yesterday, got the robot error message from captcha, and then trying to do it again this a.m., the message is again telling me to “try again later”. How much later??? Feh!

    Is that only me or every one else having problems with login to the rockstar social club . It really sucks. Can anyone tell me whats wrong with this error???

    If you wish to play offline, there should not be a need for captcha, especially in a launcher. Just think pratical and make this a choice, when players want to play offline, no need for a captcha 🙂 What is the worst that could happen?

    I understand that this game is free and we are thankful, but if you think in pratical terms, Rockstar you could avoid a lot of unnecessary hassle 🙂

    I thought I was only one getting frustrated. Hate reCAPHTCHA even if working. How long does it block you for? Hopefully gets fixed soon as wanted to buy a game. Stuff it may go to steam instead!

    Hi guys, I just got through the recaptcha. Basically I had to do the following: In the recaptchas that are of the flash type, I quickly marked all the correct alternatives and pressed the verification button. New flashes to mark appeared, as soon as each one appeared I was already clicking on the check button (until the recaptcha accepted). I managed to reproduce this more than once (since I forgot my user password). I just joined the game. Good luck!

    Wow! You’re foolproof solution is ‘wait for verification’ and ‘try again’. I’m so glad we have someone as helpful as yourself around to guide us in these trying times

    As I said above in a reply, stop bitching and wait for them to fix the server overload. GTA (no matter the iteration) is an iconic game and you got the 5th gen for free! Have patience!

    No email received, every mistake, for example the username is not available it restart the captcja making it more frustrating. They should’ve been got ready for this matter because we can’t play it. Not to mention how long it took to download this game.

    To get this game, I had to install three new, useless programs on my computer (Epic Games Launcher, Rockstar Games Launcher, and Rockstar Social Club), I spent 40 minutes trying to solve the Recaptcha, I never got the verification email so I can’t set up the 2 step verification which is also required… And I’m still not playing. I wish getting games from legitimate sources meant smooth experience…no wonder people are downloading torrents.

    Recaptcha not working due to “Your computer or network may be sending automated queries.” not sure how to resolve this but any help would be appreciated.
    you are some ungrateful fucks, stop complaining. The game became free, of course the servers aren’t going to work being hammered by millions of players.

      any luck yet dude

      Unplugged the router, let it chill for a few minutes and start it up again. If you IP allocation is dynamic, this should solve it.

      And yeah.. I am really really grateful that I was able to get this iconic game. Stop bitching and wait for them to solve the issues. The game is yours now and it will eventually start to work for everybody!

      Maybe we are complaining for good reason Zed. This recaptcha thing has locked me out of my R* account. I am unable to play GTAV and RDR2 of which I paid for. Rightfully upset.

    It never sent the email to me, but luckily i was able to go to the rockstar website rather than its garbage launcher. It then worked for me, but OH MY GOD, i did the captcha corectly several times then it says “invalid or empy captcha token” fuck off rockstar, dont use captcha in a mf launcher

        Anindya Zarbade

        bro with 19 mbps download speed that would be possible, for that you need at least a 1.5 gbps connection, hell, you using nasa network or what

        1. A
          anth

          dumbass, fiber internet can reach speeds up to 2GB/s without being NASA
