Fix FiveM "Preparing to Request Authentication Ticket" & Clear Social Club Locks

When FiveM hangs on 'Preparing to request authentication ticket', the client is failing to negotiate a valid RSA handshake with Rockstar Social Club servers. This is caused by outdated session cookies in `%localappdata%\DigitalEntitlements`, corrupted Rockstar Games Launcher tokens, or mismatched credentials following a security credential update. To fix: 1) Close FiveM and Rockstar Games Launcher completely via Task Manager, 2) Delete all files inside `%localappdata%\DigitalEntitlements`, 3) Relaunch Rockstar Launcher, sign in with updated credentials, and 4) Launch FiveM to force a fresh ticket request.
