Problem: “The Rockstar update service is not available (code 1)”
Rockstar warns us that we can receive the error message both when installing or playing GTA V “The Rockstar update service is not available (code 1)”. This error is similar to keeping updating and not being able to update the game.
The solution indicated by Rockstar for this problem is that it could be an error that could be in that our name of the Administrator user that we have created in Windows has characters not supported by GTA V. Our ‘user’ of Windows Administrator is not only composed of letters from A to Z, or numbers, but also contains symbols such as “@”, “#”, “$”, “!”, etc.
Solution to the problem (code 1) in GTA 5 for PC:
If you have these symbols in your Windows users, the Rockstar company has a patch to correct it, but if you don’t want to install it or can’t find it, you have another solution. You must create another user in Windows with Administrator privileges, and remember not to put strange characters in this new user.
