Core useWorks

The Rockstar Games Launcher worked from a Syrian connection: once signed in, it loaded the account's library with Red Dead Redemption 2 ready to play. The tester also reported several hours of online play over mobile data and fibre without a VPN, which the screenshot does not show.

Sign-upWorks

A tester in Syria used their own Rockstar Games account from a Syrian connection, signing in and loading its game library. This is inferred from the account in use; creating an account was not itself shown.

Sign-inWorks

Signing in to the Rockstar Games Launcher worked from a connection that an IP lookup in the same frame shows as Syrian. The sign-in screen showed no error, and a minute later the launcher was signed in with the account's library loaded; error #1.000.7 no longer appeared.
