    I’ve tried all these solutions but none worked for me.
    So I figured out another solution, which worked for me.

    The problem is easy: if I ping patches.rockstargames.com my ISP gives me back the ip 87.248.202.39. Which is not right.
    So I start a «cmd» window as an adminitrator! and I go to «cd drivers/etc» and then you enter «notepad hosts». Notepad will start and at the bottom you type «208.111.158.187 patches.rockstargames.com». Save the file. And it should work.

    —Completion of previous reply.—
    You will have determained patches.rockstargames.com wil work. But the next step (socialclub.rockstargames.com won’t. The solution is to use another DNS-server (I used googles 8.8.8.8). Google for a good (free) DNS-server. ea level3. Goto you router an type in the DNS-1 field «209.244.0.3» and in the DNS-2 field «209.244.0.4». If you just want to change the DNS settings of you PC (and not of you whole network), you can do this by changing the network-adapter settings — advantage settings.
    Done this -I guess_ you can remove the patches.rackstargames.com line (see my previous reply) in the drivers\etc\hosts file.
