## Community reports

- 2026-07-20 — Investigated. Community testing found that Rockstar Games online services are restricted in Syria. Signing in through the Rockstar Games Launcher from a Syrian connection fails with the error «Sorry, we are unable to handle your request at this time.» (error #1.000.7), blocking access to accounts and online play while the launcher itself loads normally.

## Context

These are geo-restrictions the companies applied themselves, not filtering by Syrian ISPs and not a legal requirement. US and EU sanctions on Syria were lifted in 2025.
