GTA V Cross-Platform Compatibility Tool

Description
A small tool for easily switching between Rockstar Games Launcher, Steam, and Epic Games Launcher using only one game installation. This eliminates the need to install the large game multiple times and consume excessive disk space with duplicate files. You can manage all launcher editions with a single game installation by simply swapping platform-specific files. Guide
Detailed tutorials are available demonstrating how to use the tool for installations originating from Steam, Rockstar Games Launcher, and Epic Games Launcher. It is recommended to watch the entire tutorial before attempting the process. Requirements
* 64-bit Windows 10 (Windows 7 compatibility untested) * .NET Framework 4.8.1 FAQ
Q. Why are these tutorials so difficult?
A. The tutorials involve forcing all platforms to utilize the same game folder while making Rockstar Games Launcher recognize all editions as installed. It's recommended to watch the tutorial in its entirety without action on the first viewing, and then begin following along during a second viewing. If needed, adjust the playback speed to 0.75x or 0.5x. Note: "Move" in the tutorials refers to cut+paste (Ctrl+X, then Ctrl+V), not copy+paste (Ctrl+C, then Ctrl+V). Q. How can I determine my current Switcher and file versions?
A. The Switcher version is displayed in Help — About at the bottom left corner of the window. File versions are shown in the main window. Q. Is this tool open-source?
A. Yes, since version 1.1.0 it is available on GitHub. Older versions (prior to 0.0.7) are no longer accessible but are unnecessary for current use. Changelog
