GUYS! you can be signed in to LIVE! but at the same time not to the R* Social club...just sweat it out in offline, I am saving my progress just fine...now if I could get the game to run less choppy..

SOLUTION HERE: I HAVE READ FROM SOMEONE BACK OFF THE PHONE WITH ROCKSTAR THAT THE PROBLEM JUST STARTED OCCURING, MESSAGES ARE POPPING UP EVERYWHERE. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS INTERNET RELATED, SO A SOLUTION HAS BEEN FOUND: DISCONNECT FROM ROCKSTAR SOCIAL CLUB. THIS WILL ENABLE SINGLE PLAYER UNTIL A FIX IS RELEASED FOR THE SOCIAL CLUB LOGIN.
