I own a Steam copy of the game and also have this when launching a second client.

Thanks, we are looking into this.

This issue is still persisting.
Latest client version and FXServer-early-access b110 win32.

Nothing happens when I press the "OK" button here.

Still reproduces on client build 119 (later than the b110 reported above), game build
1158_13 (gen9), Windows 11, Epic Games copy.

Some extra data in case it helps narrow it down:

A single client is fine — only the second instance fails. Same Rockstar account in both,
so this is not an ownership or account-linking problem. Instance 1 signs in and plays normally;
instance 2 boots, completes the Cfx handshake, downloads server resources, and then hits the
Rockstar "Activation Required" screen.

Both instances launch through the same store pipe. From
%APPDATA%\FiveM for GTAV Enhanced\logs\fivem-launcher*.log:

[08-08-2026 17:23:39] [    info] HTTP Handshake awaiting game. client id 1
[08-08-2026 17:23:39] [    info] Starting game using store: 3
[08-08-2026 17:25:54] [    info] HTTP Handshake awaiting game. client id 2
[08-08-2026 17:25:54] [    info] Starting game using store: 3

The pattern held across every attempt — instance 1, then instance 2 about two minutes later,
and instance 2 is always the one that fails:

17:23:39 | id=1     17:50:23 | id=1     18:08:13 | id=1     18:18:35 | id=1
17:25:54 | id=2     17:52:30 | id=2     18:10:18 | id=2     18:23:09 | id=2

I also saw this once during an attempt (that log has since rotated):

[08-08-2026 16:36:27] [   error] Failed to start game: Epic Games pipe failed to connect.

Possibly relevant: additional clients get isolated user data (userdata\webview2-cl2,
gta5enhanced\userdata\cef-cache-cl2, kvdb-cl2), but config.toml holds a single global
gamepath for all instances, so every instance necessarily resolves through the same store
session.
