Why is my Grand Theft Auto V Enhanced game exiting unexpectedly?

Most GTA V Enhanced exits are a sign of system or file instability rather than a game bug you can’t fix. Rockstar’s guidance for ERR_GFX_STATE crashes points to practical fixes like updating your GPU drivers, trying a different graphics API (DirectX 12) if you’re on Vulkan, or rolling back to an older driver if the latest is unstable. If you’re on the legacy version or using mods, verifying game files and removing mods can also resolve launch-time or runtime quits, and sometimes reinstalling the Rockstar launcher helps. These steps cover the most common crash scenarios for the Enhanced edition as you troubleshoot. (support.rockstargames.com)

The Enhanced upgrade adds advanced features such as ray tracing, global illumination, and DLSS/FSR, which can amplify stability demands on some setups. A patch or driver mismatch can provoke crashes on otherwise capable PCs, especially if Windows or GPU software is out of date. Keeping your system software current and ensuring compatibility with the new features reduces the risk of unexpected exits. This context is reflected in coverage of the upgrade’s capabilities and its ongoing optimization. (theverge.com)
