Grand Theft Auto V Legacy: Anybody Know How to Change the Rockstar Games Social Club Overlay…
Short answer
No confirmed fix yet. Players suggest: dont be retarded and say this is just a keybinding issue, how do you change that entirely
What you need to know
The overlay that appears when you press Back + Right on a controller is triggered by the default keybinding in GTA V Legacy. The game itself does not offer an in‑game option to reassign or disable this combination. The practical workaround is to use a controller‑mapping tool (such as DS4Windows) to change the button layout so the unwanted combination is never sent to the game.
Step by step
- Download and install DS4Windows (or another compatible controller‑mapping utility).
- Connect your controller (Xbox, DualShock, etc.) and let DS4Windows detect it.
- Open the Profiles tab and create a new profile for GTA V Legacy.
- In the profile editor, locate the Back button and the Right (RB/R1) button.
- Remap one or both of these buttons to a different function that you do not use while playing (for example, map Back to “Share” and RB to “None”).
- Save the profile and make sure it is set to Active when you launch GTA V Legacy.
- Launch the game and test the controller. Pressing the original Back + Right combination should no longer trigger the Social Club overlay because the mapped signals have changed.
Tips
- Keep a separate profile for other games so you don’t lose the default layout elsewhere.
- If you only need to disable the overlay, remap just the Back button to a harmless function; the game will no longer receive the exact combo it looks for.
- Some controllers allow you to assign a “null” or “disabled” action—use that for the button you want to ignore.
- After changing the mapping, double‑check in the game’s settings that no other hotkeys conflict with your new layout.
- If the overlay still appears, verify that DS4Windows is running with administrator rights so it can intercept the button presses before the game does.
What players reported
Currently when you're playing with a controller, if you pressed the Back button + Right button, it opens the overlay which I don't want to, is there any way to disable it or change it to something else? I tried to Google but it didn't find any definite answers for this.
