Save File Import
For me, it works this way:
You have 2 files for 1 savegame, for example: SGTA50000 SGTA50000.bak
You need both of them in the folder (C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles\SC_NUMBER). Try deleting all older savegames.
Restart the game and click on "Story Mode", the save will load automatically.
If this doesn't work:
- Backup the "Rockstar Games" folder (C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\)
- Delete the whole Rockstar Games folder (C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\) => This is safe, I also did that. But your game settings will be gone if you don't back it up.
- Restart the game, the folder will be re-created new with all the needed data.
- Put your newest savegame-files into the folder (both files): C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\Profiles\SC_NUMBER\
- Restart and try again.
Trudler is right, but for Steam version they are at:
C:\ProgramData\Socialclub\YOUR_SOCIAL_ID\NUMBER
