I purchased GTA V for PC yesterday and everything seemed fine after installation. However, when I tried to play it today, the game wouldn’t launch. On Steam, clicking play brought up the Rockstar Social Club section normally, but once loading finished, the window turned white and nothing appeared. I’ve checked the game cache, reinstalled the Social Club, tried running as administrator, and switched to compatibility mode—still no improvement. Any suggestions?

Also, according to what I've heard, it seems to impact just the installation. It functioned properly last night, which is why I'm still confused.

The support team provided the identical page I used initially, indicating they’re unavailable. Anyone have a workaround?

I started with an empty page. All files were downloaded initially. When using the launcher, I encountered a blank screen after logging in. I transferred every game data file from the GTAV directory elsewhere. Removed both GTAV and Rockstars launcher, then reinstalled Rockstar. After restarting, it began downloading again—reaching about 20MB of the 60GB, then paused before exiting. I copied the files back in. Once Rockstar had access to my data, only a 350MB patch was needed, and I was able to launch the game normally.

I just attempted it but didn’t find a solution. It seems there might be an issue I haven’t noticed. I’ve tried everything before and still can’t figure it out. The problem must be with something else.
